This game is excellently made and adds so much to an already rich game. TotK had a strangle hold on my life over the month it came out, and I loved exploring every part of it. The things I preferred in this game to BotW was the heightened level of freedom to get from one place to another, you truly feel like you can do anything. The music, whilst I do really like BotW's minimalistic score, Colgera's boss music singlehandedly pulls this score ahead. And the fact that each major dungeon is actually themed to the location on the map. However the sense of tangibility and immersion was lacking slightly for me. That freedom to do whatever you wanted was almost like a constant reminder that you are playing a video game. One of my favourite parts of BotW was simply picking somewhere on the map and walking there and seeing what I'd see on the way. I felt like that very simple feeling of traversal and exploration was slightly lost in this. Also the puzzles on the main dungeons were very bad unfortunately.
Still an amazing game and lived up as a sequel and an expansion of ideas 100%.
