Iki Island addressed none of the problems GOT had, and in fact made the game worse. Starting with exploration, the game has a very limited set of walls and cliffs you can jump from or maneuver around. If you try to jump on a rock that the game doesn't think you should climb, the character will glitch in a jump motion and kind of slide off the surface. This was annoying in the base game, it is even worse here. Specially with me coming from TOTK, a game that puts this to shambles.

The boss is honestly annoying and just bad. The last battle is way too difficult for no good reason and the story is just bad as well. The game will throw some throwbacks at you where instead of a cutscene, you just walk around with young Jin for a while, following a character from point A to B. Then, the game starts a cutscene. Why not just put a cutscene to begin with and avoid all this unnecessary walking that adds nothing?

The psychosis every five minutes gets old super fast. You're in the middle of a fight, trying to get into the rhythm of it, and this bs immediately breaks that with repetitive dialogue that's more annoying than anything else.

I played this because it was included in the PS5 version. If not, it's not worth the money.
