This one had a false start for me and I'm sad to say I almost skipped it entirely. Initially quite turned off by the lack of direction and the unforgiving combat in the early game, I put it down and left myself feeling fairly disappointed.

After a few months, once a coworker let me borrow their set of homebrewed Amiibo cards, I picked it back up and didn't put it down until I'd completed nearly every piece of content the game had to offer.

The game is beautiful, challenging, puzzling, curious, and infuriating all in one. It's truly a remarkable achievement in scope and an almost unbelievable reboot to a series that's been with me as long as I can remember.
