A pretty fun entry with some big pros and cons. My main gripes lie with how easily weapons break, the shrines being so numerous and some of them really tedious, as well as the four Divine Beast dungeons not being long enough. That being said, the focus on the story, characters, open exploration, and the insane number of ways you can approach dealing with things in the world and fight enemies is pretty damn fun. I'm really hopeful for BOTW 2.

Pretty dang great. This is easily the best zombie-killing game I've ever played. The only thing that could make it better is even more melee weapon and enemy variety. This version of the game comes with The Following expansion, which is a full game's worth of content on its own, which is just as great if not better than the main game. Grab a buddy for some online play and have a blast drop-kicking zombies and clearing out Volatile nests.
