Played basically every Zachtronics game; this was my favourite. The storytelling and difficulty progression were really good and it felt like I could beat the game without having a PhD
Played directly after Elden Ring; exploration was worse but bosses were better. The ending section of the game boosted my opinion quite a lot, since they're hard enough to require you to properly engage with all the battle mechanics
Feeling of exploring in this game was basically unparelled for me until Tears of the Kingdom came out. By far my biggest complaint is the fairly linear story progression in the second half, and the half-baked multiplayer support if not using mods
Extremely solid and still holds up for me after nearly a decade, especially with mods. My only minor complaint is a dislike for the vanilla progression's pacing nowadays
Basically a perfect game in my book. Insanely polished, tons of content, constant support and multiplayer. Absolutely absurd gameplay depth and things to learn
