I really liked Breath of the Wild, but I absolutely loved Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo has packed in so many interesting things to see, do and collect throughout Hyrule this time around, although the real key improvement is the new abilities. With fuse, rewind and ascend, ToTK gives you the capability to play your way, which often leaves you feeling like a genius (or a massive idiot at times). Obviously the visuals and performance are not perfect, but it never really hindered my enjoyment across my roughly 100 hour playthrough. Packing all of this onto a tiny cartridge or a ~16GB filesize is a genuine miracle and results in one of the greatest games ever made. When the epic new OST starting playing in the final moments of the story, I was left with goosebumps that perfectly capped off a creative, engrossing and beautiful experience.
