i got this game on launch and im going to just be blunt, it sucked. like, after you get familiar with crafting and getting shops and its so much fun its suddenly... not. to have a TON of content added over a year later after i told myself "ok theres no reason to keep up with this boring ass game anymore" is such a slap in the face man. i picked it back up recently to play with my friends and after starting over my island, theres so much more to do now that wasnt there before. honestly feels like im playing a totally different game lol. its not BAD but its definitely not my favorite either. in my opinion, dialogue got repetitive and robotic when talking to your villagers, dare i say its hourly music is the worst in the series, theres just not a lot i can say i like. yet i still come back to it, years later...........

its good but im not clicking with it yet like i did botw. game feels way too restrictive with its story if that makes sense? like i had to look up a guide to do spirit temple early because the game was trying SO hard to make me do something i didnt want to do yet. is this an insane thing to say? im loving this game, especially the depths, and its definitely so much better than botw but i feel like its kind of messy when it comes to its story. maybe ill rate it higher when i beat it i guess, i kinda feel bad rating it like this lmao
