the building mechanics, while technically impressive, are completely irrelevant to botw's shortcomings. ultimately this game did nothing to actually improve on its predecessor, and it's worse in many ways. the boss combat design took a huge blow. the dungeons are somehow even worse and even smaller (this water temple ranks as one of the worst dungeons in the entire franchise). the world is messier, less coherent, and less fun to explore. the sky islands are tiny, the depths are empty, the story is held back by the same inane memory system that-- surprise-- sucks this time, too. one letdown after another. deeply formulaic, padded, and predictable. botw was magic, and this game buried that magic

driving the cars IS fun though.

Aún me cuesta trabajo creer que este juego existe. Sin entrar en la discusión de cuál es el mejor Zelda o el mejor entre Breath of the Wild y Tears of Kingdom. Creo que cada Zelda ofrece algo distinto, único, que no es repetible en los demás. Pero, como videojuego abordando tantas cosas como historia, tutoriales, diseño del mundo y acertijos, atmosfera, arte, sonido, gameplay y libertad creativa dentro de su impresionante ingeniería… no he visto experiencia que se le acerque ni poquito a la cantidad de cosas que ofrece TOTK, sin que sea apabullante u algo se sienta fuera de este universo.

Hyrule se siente más vivo que nunca y mucho más grande, aunque creo que esto es lo único que viene en detrimento del juego cuando exploras las profundidades. Me hubiera gustado algo más conciso y con un diseño diverso y divertido. Como cualquier otro templo de Zelda.

Fuera de eso, es impresionante como a pesar de que es un mundo ya conocido. Los cambios que sufre el territorio lo vuelven fresco y más aún, implementado con una serie de herramientas como la fusión de armas u objetos, que siempre puedes improvisar una acción diferente dependiendo del escenario. Y es justo eso donde encuentro lo impresionante del juego, lo estoy volviendo a jugar por segunda vez y cada día es una aventura diferente y decido utilizar el espacio a mi alrededor y mis herramientas a mi disposición de formas distintas. Con poder escalar lo que sea, utilizar el planeador para pasar rápidamente a otras zonas y el poder de subir a una superficie más alta hace que el juego se vuelva vertical. No hay repetición de combate en el juego, no hay repetición de armas y los enemigos improvisan en cómo atacar. Tu ruta de viaje puede cambiar cada segundo según tu antojo.

Por todo esto, es una experiencia que sé podría regresar siempre en años venideros. Y no únicamente por el diseño de juego, también porque es un mundo conocido que se siente nuevo. Con muchos guiños a los otros juegos de la serie y una historia emotiva para un juego que se caracteriza por no ser muy complejo en este tema. Además, el final, es creo que mi final favorito de cualquier videojuego y más siendo fan de esta serie.

Podría enumerar distintos momentos que hicieron que mi piel se enchinara o acertijos que me dibujaban una sonrisa en mi rostro por haberlos resuelto de forma astuta. Pero, nunca acabaría, son demasiados momentos, memorables NPC’s, lugares y aventuras que van a vivir en mi memoria por mucho tiempo.

Puedo decir, con seguridad, que este es mi videojuego favorito de todos los tiempos.

Tears of the Kingdom sofre ao tentar seguir os passos de um gigante como Breath of the Wild. Acaba faltando inovação e o encanto que fizeram do seu antecessor, que resulta em uma experiência que, sendo agradável, não atinge o mesmo nível de excelência do anterior por parecer mais do msm, isso se da pela falta de inovaçao e vc sentir mais do mesmo como se fosse uma dlc e nao um jogo novo, apesar de mecanicas diferentes e ate interessantes. Tears of the Kingdom parece uma tentativa de replicar o sucesso sem oferecer novidades substanciais. A história coesa e envolvente, mas que nao me emocionou tanto quanto o de antes. Tear e um jogo incrivel nao me entenda mau, mas sempre estara na sombra do qual realmente decidiu inovar e nao reciclar.

Ele foi como Breath of the Wild: uma história incrível, personagens incríveis, shrines incríveis e uma trilha sonora incrível. No entanto, meu erro foi jogar Tears of the Kingdom logo após terminar Breath of the Wild. Depois de passar quatro dias seguidos jogando BotW, estava cansado de um jogo tão semelhante. Isso fez com que ToTK demorasse a me cativar, mas, quando finalmente conseguiu, fiquei uma semana inteira jogando sem parar. Mais uma vez, mergulhei no universo de Zelda. Eu te amo, TLoZ: ToTK; você é o meu GOTY.

What a FANTASTIC game! What can I say that others haven't done so in great detail!

I had a rocky start with the game, being soft locked in the tutorial, but I am so glad i gave it another shot and made it through! The story is impactful, the gameplay addicting and it really builds upon BotW (if you loved it you'll adore this one too).

Only gripe is that this game is a bit unforgiving at the beginning. If you rush through the story line too fast without doing every single shrine on the way, you'll be way out of your depth and fast. However, if you manage the balance, you'll be a-ok!

Seriously, go play it!!

Well this was a big disappointment. I liked Breath of the Wild alright but wasn't crazy about it so was hopeful they had made some changes Unfortunately they went the wrong direction. The combination mechanic was neat but frustrating and it felt out of place in the game. The world was huge but devoid of character. The different regions were just interchangeable with the same basic stuff to do. The music was sparse and just kind of background stuff but nothing you'd listen to outside of maybe falling asleep to it. Sound design was well done though and the art style was same as BotW which i think is good but frame rate was worse.
If you just like wandering around aimlessly and spending forever traveling with the hope of entertainment hidden somewhere then I'm sure it's fine. I got fed up with the basic loop and when I realized after a couple dozen hours that yeah, this was all there was to do, I shelved it. A rare miss for the franchise. Here's hoping they start from scratch on the next one.

PROS: Sound effects, art and interesting combination mechanic
CONS: Lack of direction and entertainment

I won't say is overrated because it is a great game. But yeah it is overrated (I had to say it).
BOTW existing is what poison this game the most since is basically the same game with the new merge mechanic (which is AMAZING, don't get me wrong)
But the game turns me in to the kind of player I don't wanna be: a league of legends player who spends 5 hours a day clicking for apples and frogs.
everything is built around wasting your time farming around and doing the least interesting quests I've seen in a long time.
Tha "story" was cool, except there's no story and the flashbacks are told with .mp4 that plays when you get closer.
I played 114 hours and I finished it but I didn't love it.
