The more I think about it, the more seriously let down I am by Tears of the Kingdom.

It's still fun to explore and interact with the world, but it really doubles down on all of the problems of BotW. Even the things that didn't bother me in that game become a chore here.

The only really fun addition is the new abilities. It's definitely fun to drop boxes and stuff on enemies' heads.

Poor performance. So much lag and pop-in issues. It's really pathetic.

I still hate how there are no real dungeons. We should be able to have a huge, expansive world and proportionally scaled-up dungeons.

The sky is boring. The depths are boring. Y'know what the depths should have been? The Twilight Realm. It should have been an entirely new map the same size as Hyrule, ala Johto in Pokémon Gold. And they should have brought Midna back.

Iwata-san, you are sorely missed. 😔
