The kind of game you will either rate 10/10 or 2/10. Easily Nakazawa and Uchikoshi's best work. Amazing pacing and somehow the most consistently solid Infinity cast despite the game not really focusing on characters as much as the previous two entries. If you somehow see this review first, don't read anything else about this game because people spoil major aspects of it without even realizing it, just go play it for yourself.
Also the ending is great fuck you

Better than DR1 and 2 in a lot of ways. Best core story in the series, and best individual mysteries in the series. My main issue with V3 is that it's really long, like twice the length of DR1, and I feel like some of the early chapters are really dragged down by the increased runtime. The game becomes a bit of a slog and doesn't have the snappiness DR1 or 2 does, which is unfortunate. The ending is almost perfect.

Revisiting this after ToTK game me newfound appreciation for just how amazing this game is. That one certainly has more to it but BoTW is just so well put together. The world is intricately laid out in a way that's so fun to explore. There's a sense of magic to this game that hasn't been lost on me even after 5 playthroughs, something that I feel ToTK (or any game really) hasn't been able to recapture.
