Tears of the Kingdom, without hyperbole, is a master piece.

When Breathe of the Wild first came out it was lauded as a tent-pole in open world design. I don't think anyone's been able to match it on its terms since, except its follow-up.

It's a game for the curious. A look into a world where we forged the path through Half-Life 2's physics based environmental sandbox rather than the arms race for higher and higher fidelity.

I'm excited, in my 30 years in this hobby, that I can place a modern game at the top of my list of favorites. I'll never forget my time with Tears of the Kingdom.
