The first 40 or so hours were a lot of fun Messing around with the new mechanics but after a while a lot of the flaws and clunkiness started showing up. Some negatives:

- horrible sage abilities and after a while I stopped using them altogether
- why did they completely ignore some world building questions like what happened to the old shrines? What happened to the divine beasts? they completely glossed over it
- lack of enemy variety which was a problem botw also had after a while
- sky island was not as cool as it was advertised and the depths were also just boring it's very rare you'd find something interesting, it felt like a chore and most times I'm just in there mining lmao
- only having 3 weapon types makes weapons just very boring
- not a big negative but I wish we were more present in the imprisoning war story instead of just watching it through memories
- Hyrule felt way too similar and the minor changes weren't enough to be entertaining, the caves were cool the first few times but after a while it got old fast and u basically do the same thing in all of them





Some positives:

- I really enjoyed the story and characters
- the final boss battle was a beautiful spectacle

... unfortunately I actually can't think of any other positives I have spent 185 hours so I did do and find a lot and it's not like I didn't enjoy it I still really enjoyed the game but there's so much flaws with this game that I cannot say I enjoyed it as much as botw which is in my top 5 favorite games
