What can I say that hasn't been said at this point... Probably nothing since 6 years have passed from its release.
I've been playing Breath of the Wild on and off for the last five years, exploring its beautiful world, searching every nook and cranny and being lost in its wonder like when I did with videogames when I was a kid. However I kept holding off beating Ganon as much as I could because I didn't want the journey to end.
Journey is probably the keyword of the whole experience, this game encapsulates the concept of traveling, exploring and discovering more than any other one I've played (and I've played a few).
Today I finally mustered up the courage necessary, pushed by the upcoming release of Tears of the Kingdom, and went to rescue the princess that had been waiting for 100 (and 5) years.
What a wonderful journey it has been, thank you Nintendo.

What an insanely good game, I'll try to encapsulate everything I felt while completing this but I'll still try to keep spoiler free, which I really reccomend to do if you want to get into and be surprised by this gem of a game.
At a first glance Tunic seems just like a very well made Zelda-like game, but the more you go on the more you'll see that its essence is just partially that and so much more.
It re-evoked some of the feelings I had as a kid in trying to progress through Ocarina of Time with my brother, while not knowing any of the available languages (in the end we put french because we could translate a few words to italian just by similarity).
You blindly go on and the more you progress, the more it becomes clear and when you start to figure everything out it is all oh-so beautiful.
Kudos to the developers, you can really feel their love while playing.

As per usual lately in Pokémon games, there are some nice ideas in this but they are heavily overshadowed by big problems.
The performance is unacceptable and I'm usually not even noticing these kind of problems in games, I played docked the entire time and there are some areas (specifically when it rains and/or you're surfing on water) where it goes south of 5fps. On the graphics side it's trash, but that was evident from watching any screenshot.
Gameplay-wise, like mentioned before, some features could be a step in the right direction but considering Legends: Arceus came out this same year (and with all its problems Legends is miles ahead of this game) everything feels like the usual one step forward, five steps back.
Worth your time only if you are an hardcore Pokémon fan, and still you'll probably be frustrated by the experience and the wasted potential.
