If only I could give this game a 4.9, it's almost perfect, since it basically improves most things from BOTW.
The new abilities are a godsend, they are 1000% better than the ones from the last game, Ultrahand, Ascend, Fuse and Recall are extremely fun, engaging and intuitive. Ultrahand by itself has infinite possibilites of use, it's that useful, this game is truly a sandbox.
Now, the game still has some problems, some of them carried over from the last game that I got upset that they weren't addressed. The horses are still horrible to control, the economy is just as bad since you receive very little amounts of rupees from sidequests, but at least there is a good farming spot in the game that does not require you to have the best equipment available to do the farm.
The new armor sets are really not great, with the exception of the Glide Armor and the Gloom one, which are actually useful, the rest, not so much. And the armor sets from the first game returning is nice on paper, but it's dissapointing that they are the exact same, no new bonuses or an alteration in appearence. The last thing that bottered me were the new powers, definitive downgrade over the powers from BOTW, they are really awkward to use and not very good, specially the last one, that one is just straight up trash.
I've focused a lot on the negatives here because they are easy to point out and are real problems with the game that need to be said, but they are miniscule in comparison with what this game does right, if I were to write about everything I liked, I would be writing here forever.
