A perfect score for a perfect game. Also, go play the Strawberry Jam mod if you have it on PC.

It would easier to talk about the flaws because there are so few compared to the things the game absolutely nails. Only complaints really are some repetitive, blocky level designs and a few bosses that get annoying on the Ascended difficulty like Markoth. Otherwise, the game is just perfect in every aspect. One of my favourite games ever and easily the best Metroidvania I've played.

One of the most baffling AAA releases I've played in a while. I was super into the direction they were going with but nothing about the final release clicked for me. I never thought I would say this but I actually liked the story in 7 Remake better than the one in XVI. At least that game had some likeable characters and charm to it.
Don't trust my opinion because I didn't beat it (got to the "Riddles in the Sand" bit), but I would be lying if I said I enjoyed any part of it outside the Benedikta fight and some of the music.

A good sequel to Breath of the Wild that improves on nearly every aspect, but has less of the incredible moments of discovery that made the first playthrough of that game so memorable to me. Each of the three main layers needed more attention as far as content goes; many areas of the Surface are untouched and have no incentive to revisit them, outside of caves; the Skies have little substance to them outside of the story content; and the Depths were almost great but needed more landmarks.
As it is, Tears of the Kingdom is a great game and I look forward to replaying it on the next system but it really did disappoint me.

My first Dishonored game. A solid stealth game but the last two levels felt kinda long-winded and overly large, to the point where I was rushing the game.
