If they could make the combat just a little more difficult/complex especially for the boss fights (removing abilities as the key aspect to defeat them), this would be the greatest game of all time.
Is this better than BotW? Absolutely. But after having played 100s of hours of BotW this doesn’t give me more than the building/traversal mechanics to really appreciate. The combat is identical. The cheese with certain abilities is still here (this game is for kids I understand),
Oh and if shrines were better integrated into the game (or the resource they give you).
Review is if you never played BotW, but spiritually I am closer to a 3.5 or 4/5 compared to BG3 which is my GOTY. Music/art really is what sends this to 4.5.
This gives me mental energy of playing Skyrim, where within first 10 hours you know all the mechanics, you just enjoy the silliness.
