I didn't like BOTW so I don't know why I thought this would be any different, grabbed by the hype once again! I just never learn!
Nothing about these games gives me that revolutionize of the open world genre buzz that they're praised for and honestly, it pisses me off that I don't get it. It makes me feel INSANE when I see the praise, but it's just not clicking.
The new building mechanics feel clunky to me, but I do see the vision. It's a toybox with more toys to fool around with. For me though, the thought of doing shrines again, especially with these mechanics, just makes me want to turn off.
For positives, I do enjoy the visuals. I think the art direction and presentation are gorgeous. It's got that Nintendo charm that always appeals to me, which further makes it sadder that it doesn't hit for me.
I've put in around 10 hours and I've had my fill. Overall, it's my own fault. I knew I wouldn't like it, but a mixture of FOMO and hope that something would grab me took hold. It has put me in that Zelda mood though, I'll probably replay one of the older ones soon.

I agree, I was most dissapointed with botw because I figured it would have this epic plot that would be active throughout the whole game but was very sad to see it was mostly relegated to the memories. That plus the lack of memorable dungeons and a memorable ost, just had me pretty disappointed. Hearing this is pretty much just like botw in those aspects makes me sad
You have the words people and you have the toys people. Word people arent going to like a game that offers nothing except a sandbox, some toys and ill fitting british accents.

@Berfison that’s so true and a perfect tl;dr to how I feel. I’m a words person struggling with the fact that they aren’t a toy person in love with the toy like the other toy people.
