I went in expecting this to be a better Zelda game than BotW and TotK, but that feels more demeaning to call this a Zelda-like.

This game is its own thing and I'm glad for it. Stellar puzzle design, easily the highlight and main draw of the game, and fun Souls-like combat, if lacking in depth. Music was really lacking and felt as though I heard it before in a hundred other indie games.
