Easily one of the greatest games of all time
This game consistently hovers around my 1-3 spot in my favorite games ever for numerous reasons, but anyone who's played the game before knows that the reason it's so good is the open world.
Breath of the Wild was one of the first AAA games to give players a truly free open world. Players could do anything they wanted to, however they wanted to, and whenever they wanted to. The only mandatory part of the game was the tutorial section and after that there was 100 hours of you being able to mess around however you want. Playing this game made me feel like a little kid out on a playground doing whatever I thought was fun. I didn't have any parents telling me to get down from there, or to do this quest before I go beat the boss. There weren't any parents yelling at me to get down from there or telling me that this area is too high level for me. Breath of the Wild was a truly free experience and it perfectly encapsulates what a videogame should be.
