A masterpiece from beginning to end, beautifully weaving mechanics from the first and second games into a unique battle system with lots of player expression. As I've come to expect, story and soundtrack in this game are beautiful. This is the first Xenoblade game that has moved me to tears several times.
My only criticism of this game is that in spite of how long its runtime is, the final chapter actually felt a bit rushed. The main antagonist is also rather weak.

S/V present the most interesting new Pokemon I have ever seen in a generation, between their incredibly unique abilities and movesets. Terastalization is a simple yet engaging mechanic. The new held items are very fun to build your pokemon around. That said, this might be the first time a game has performed so badly that I could not finish it. Had this game spent a little bit more time in the oven, it might have just been my favorite.
Absolutely incredible game from start to finish, with mind-bogglingly good mechanics. How is recall even possible?
The formula gets a bit stale by the end of it-- the sky portion of the game was honestly rather underwhelming. Despite this, Tears of the Kingdom is incredible and an absolute must-play.
