Addressed BotW's biggest problem: the lack of a world. Now there's a whole lot of world, and it's very populated too. The new abilities encourage exploration and creative problem-solving, which Nintendo's gold standard intuitive design make very easy to do.

My biggest criticism is the main story. While a step above its predecessor, it is far more by-the-book. It makes no attempt to break the franchise's formula of "do some themed temples, beat a final boss", and the climax is disappointingly predictable.

The real wealth of content is in the side adventures and exploration. There is lot to see and find, which more than justifies the price of admission, but I doubt most players will feel inclined to see it.

Didn't see the ending coming. As of writing, the world needs more narratives in games like this.

Gameplay is kind of wonky but since it's quite short, it's forgivable. It's a novel concept which is unfortunately bound to upset a few people sensitive to depictions of self-harm, but art should push boundaries.

Would've been perfect if not for a few awkward design choices, like the absolutely terrible checkpoint system.
