I’m by no means close to 100%ing Tears of the Kingdom, but having just completed the story I feel prepared enough to say that it absolutely floored me. Breath of the Wild has been completely blown out of the water, with a total improvement on abilities, unique gameplay mechanics, traversal, sound design, storylines/lore, the list goes on and on and on.
It takes almost no time at all to understand that Tears of the Kingdom attains its own very unique identity despite having the foundation of Breath of the Wild to build from, taking complete advantage of verticality, pre-established characters and locations as well as fresh and inviting additions littered throughout.
There is an unfathomable amount of things to do in this world, taking a distinctly darker approach and allowing its most climactic moments to truly shine and stand out, which was an area where BOTW started to show its cracks. If creativity and open-ended gameplay is something you seek, this game is the magnum-opus. An incredible experience top to bottom.
