Maybe I’m being too cynical with this, but I’ve never been more happy to see the credits in a game. They did a great job of fleshing the world out from Breath of the Wild. It truly felt like Hyrule was healing from what happened previously, but once you dug into it, you realized how boring everything was.
Combat was the same, sidequests are just fetch quests, and the story is one of the most forgettable in the series.
I want to love this game, but I also want a life, and I feel like I need to sink more than the 80+ hours to get everything out of it.

This is Counter-Strike, too.
Like the tongue in cheek name of the only achievement in the game implies, this is Counter-Strike. Don't ask for any more out of this game, because there isn't anything else. Plant bombs, rescue hostages, scream at your teammates.
A lot of content was removed that was previously in CSGO and has still not returned, but to me that does not detract from how much fun I still have with this game today. It says a lot about a game (or me) when you can change nothing and still keep me happy.
Sure, I would love to have seen more put out at launch, but this is Valve we're talking about. They have been drip feeding us content for 12 years and I don't think anything is going to change anytime soon.
I would love to see Reserve maps return to the rotation, if only in Casual. As bad as they are as competitive maps they still hold value when it comes to messing around with friends for a few hours.
It's still Counter-Strike though, and that's all I really want at the end of the day.

I had a lot of fun with this one, but I felt it could have been trimmed down.
The game starts out really strong with amazing presentation and fun new mechanics with the vacuum cleaner, but quickly the gameplay became stale. From the time you begin collecting elevator buttons to about the 11 floor the game just falls into a mundane routine of clearing each floor to get to the next one. The challenges are creative, but I just did not find them all that satisfying to complete.
On the later floors the game begins to ramp up the challenge and was the part that I enjoyed the most. If they cut out some of the middle floors this might have made for a more compact experience.
Boss battles are all fun, and only a few suffered from some awkward controls and mechanics that needed a little polishing to work with the physics. The final boss especially has some great payoff.
I should note that I was not able to try to co-op which would no doubt make this a more enjoyable experience.
It's not a short and sweet adventure like the first game, but there is still a lot to be enjoyed with this one.
