I don't get the praise for this game, the high ratings are completely out of proportion. While it might be a great game for new players, it is a super boring and tedious "sequel" for someone who already finished BOTW (multiple times). Note that I put "sequel" in quotes, because in reality TOTK is more of a cheap copy of BOTW with a few new gimmicks.
After the first half hour, which you actually get to spend on a new "map", it quickly becomes clear that the creators of the game want you to explore the entire old map again and solve boring shrine puzzles again. Sorry, but it ain't no fun to do it a second time. By the time I returned to the ground from the Sky Islands, I was pretty much burnt out on the game. I really have zero interest in unlocking the entire map again, it's just tedious and no fun at all.
I couldn't bring myself to finish the game and watched the rest of it in a YouTube video on fast-forward for the sake of completeness. What can I say? I'm very glad I did, because I would have been bored to death with the rest of the game. I'm so relieved that Baldur's Gate won all the major awards last year, TOTK didn't deserve any of them. A classic case of this could have been a DLC. At least I didn't have to spend any money on my copy, as the game was given to me as a gift.

Best Watch Dogs game, for me personally miles ahead of GTA and way more fun. Loved all the characters and the story to take down surveillance companies, plenty of fun!

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FOR PS5. The performance is atrocious and it seems that the developers are not interested in changing this. Don't waste your money.
Such a cute game! It's quite short, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It's actually a pretty simple game, you basically have to find your way home, but you keep getting distracted along the way. :-)
Great to revisit Cantha as a former Guild Wars player. Unfortunately the story is not my cup of tea and the weakest expansion so far in this regard.

Nice little game. Great visuals and a bittersweet story.
Still fun to play even though the visuals are not the best despite the remaster. Decent game overall.

Best MMORPG out there. To be honest, I couldn't get into GW2 in the beginning despite being a huge fan of GW1. But after all these years, I gave it another try and the game was actually really good. Worth a play.
Decent game. Was a great way to kill some time during the pandemic, but overall it gets quite boring after a while and is definitely more a game to dial down after a stressful day at work.

I enjoyed the story, or rather suffered along with it. But the gameplay quickly became boring for me. Towards the end of the game I had to repeat annoying maneuvers several times and at some point I just wanted the game to end. Also, it would have been good for the game if they had hired professional voice actors, the voice acting is very irritating. Nevertheless, the art style is amazing!
My god, what a waste of time. This game is the epitome of boredom. The beginning alone is already a pain in the ass. First you have to walk forever through the snow, then travel for ages by boat and then walk for ages on land just to complete the first few quests. Every MMO has a more compelling introduction! The map in this game is so huge and yet empty. The fact that there is a function to automatically follow a path by boat or horse speaks for itself. They might as well have included a fast forward function for the whole game. Coupled with the constant forced walking, the unskippable cutscenes, the eternally long (meaningless) dialogues and the useless loot scattered everywhere, this is probably the most boring game I've played in a long time. Fortunately, the game was included in the Game Pass, otherwise I would have regretted the purchase.
Probably the best Metroidvania game out there, this title excels in every aspect. The story is deeply engaging, filled with twists and emotional depth. The gameplay is extremely addicting and fun.

I really like Fable II. It offers a lot of exploration and is fun. I loved the locations, especially the tattered spire, it's so mysterious and fascinating.
Unfortunately, the game is quite outdated by today's standards, running and fighting is very sluggish and you run into invisible walls all the time. There are also no real language settings in the game. Even though I downloaded the English language pack, I kept hearing my native language in between.

Lovely remasters of the first three games, even though you can really tell that the game mechanics are outdated and no longer quite as nice to play by today's standards. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my time with all of them <3

I really like the art style of this game, it's so unique. Climbing up the mountain was a lot of fun and the ending was so sweet! <3
