This game is an extremely mixed bag. I have a handful of issues with Breath of the Wild, and while this game does fix some of them, it creates a lot of its own problems. It is a good game, yes. But far from great and not even close to a 10/10. The story is chock full of copy/paste writing and is hugely disjointed, the combat still is irritating, and the presence of the Sheikah is just gone with no explanation. There are a lot of amazing moments in this game, and I ended up having a good time, but I wish there was a little more honesty about the flaws. The freedom and openness aren't enough by themselves to make this the game of the year.
