Genuinely beautiful game, made me long for more games like this. The story is obvious and quite well trodden, but having everything in the world, all the side activities and little challenges tie into it made nothing feel like poorly spent time. The exploration is excellent - anything made off the bones of BOTW's system is - but I feel as if there could have been more extrinsic rewards for it. The vistas alone were often enough a reward for me. I wish that there could have been more recurring characters; I found Eliisabet when cleaning up activities, and I wish I could have found her while progressing throughout. Some of the areas were also quite barren, in terms of quests, vistas or anything gleamed from it really. The aerie was definitely my favourite.

On the performance, I couldn't give less of a shit about how poorly it runs, a common complaint you will see. It's not a game which suffers because of it, and it's pleasing to see them focus efforts on more important aspects of the game.
