This game is unlike any experience I’ve had up until this point. I played this game a few years ago, dropped it, and picked it up again. I have t even fully beaten the game yet, but I already know that this game is amazing and worthy of a 10/10. The world is so huge, yet looks so good despite being on the switch for its entire life. The look and feel of this game has never been replicated ever on the switch. This game’s aesthetic and graphics looks miles better above other open world games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Sonic Frontiers that came out nearly 6 years after this game came out. The combat system is also so fleshed out! The staffs are so fun, and the runes are the cherry on top of this giant $100,000 MrBeast golden banana sundae. I’m exited for the sequel as it fixing my main issues with the game with the new runes. It fixes the item durability, and scaling giant mountains that take 5 years to climb. Although rain **** though. I hate the rain. All my homies hate the rain. Also, shrine are great, but I hate some of these like the dueling peaks shrines. I hated them. I also hate the fact that you can’t max out both stamina and hearts without glitches. This just gives people FOMO on whichever stat you don’t max out. Other than those issues, 11/10

Edit: so now, I’ve finished the game. I’m working on %100ing this game, but it’s kinda hard because of the koroks. Koroks are pretty useful early on when you could trade them in for inventory spaces, and hetsu’s gift is pretty funny, but it’s kinda just a waste of time getting all of the koroks. I also bought the DLC, and yeah, it’s pretty fun and heart warming. I still stand by my rating, even after I completed the game.
