What a remaster! Taking one of the greatest FPS games of the Gamecube era and modernizing it for the Switch while also making the best looking game on the system. This game looks like it would fit right in on a PS4, Retro really understand the Switch hardware and it shows. Aside from the visual overhaul, they have brought much needed modern controls, while also keeping some classic configurations for the die-hards.

Game feels trapped within the Bethesda RPG box while also being behind pretty every other space sim on the market. Outer Wilds, No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous and hell even Ubisoft's shitty Starlink have better feeling space exploration. The game constantly breaks your immersion by forcing you to fast travel anytime you need to go anywhere. At least in Skyrim and Fallout 3/4 you could actually just go places by walking or horse. There are no vehicles for traversal, there is no map to guide yourself and learn your environment, the gunplay feels worse than pretty much every AAA shooter on the market and the NPC and character animations are laughable. Sure, the game is fucking massive, but this game would have been much better had it been a lot smaller.

Don't listen to the blind hate, this game is great. Yes, the ground combat is janky and dated but the story, music and aerial combat are awesome. Swapping between 8 weapons on the fly and switching between ground and flying on a dragon's back while having a dynamic story of this scope and tone is pretty much unheard of for the PS2. Incredibly ambitious and should be seen through the lens of it's release.

Before I had finished the game, I rated it a 4.5. Once I completed it, I had to push it to a perfect score. Once you complete the main story, the game expands in a way I really did not expect. Fans of Pikmin 1 will be very pleased as well as completionists will be met with the hardest content the game has to offer. This truly is the best Pikmin game and one of the greatest Nintendo games ever published.
Bruh this shit controls like a fucking N64 FPS and I'm not even exaggerating

Absolutely one of the most brilliant games I have ever played. The level of creativity on display here is truly remarkable. The music stays with you long after you are done playing, easily one of the greatest OSTs in video games. They sample the fucking Beatles and it is GLORIOUS.

PEAK IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
BEST VR GAME SINCE ALYX
There is truly no other VR experience like this. I would compare this game to the way I felt when i first played Skyrim. The most expansive world to date for VR with some of the best boss fights in any game I've ever played, amazing cutscenes and story presentation with the best VR melee combat. While it isnt as physics heavy as Blade and Sorcery, it makes up for it by essentially getting rid of all the jank. Once you complete the first desert area, the games becomes a never ending barrage of epic set pieces and stunning surprises. Seriously, this game has some of the most jaw dropping set pieces I've ever experienced in a game. A must play for any VR fan craving a great RPG.

After about 160 hours, I've finally completed The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! I'm sure there are a couple side quests I'm still going to go back for, but I have completely explored all three maps, fully upgraded both my Hero of Time/Aspect of the Hero armors.
Exploring this map was really like no other game before. Ultrahand, Ascend and Fuse provide a dramatic expansion to the already liberating Open-Hyrule from BoTW. Tears of the Kingdom is in a league of it's own when it comes to exploration and world density.
feel like I can truly say this is my favorite game of all time, finally dethroning Half-Life: Alyx, which ironically enough was the game that dethroned Breath of the Wild as my favorite game back then. 11/10, a true masterclass in open world design.
Aside from the open world being so excellent, all of the puzzles within the Shrines and Dungeons were fantastic and some of the Dungeons were phenomenal. Bringing this game closer to classic Zelda while still having open-ended dungeon design to suit the new era of Zelda.
While the story doesn't do anything spectacularly ground breaking, it's generally very fun to watch and engaging enough. It's also helped by pretty frequently beautiful cinematography accompanied by a powerful score. Overall this isn't the best story in a Zelda, but it's up there

An absolute masterpiece. One of the most gripping stories in any video game I have ever played, and most certainly in any 2D game to date. Do not wait for Nintendo to translate this game, it does not matter who translates it. Play the fan made one and be done with it, you do not need a multi-billion dollars corporation’s consent to enjoy this masterwork of art.
