Calling it quits for now.
things i would like to see improved.
- Way to much farming going on, the arrows hoarding and light flowers hording + bow hording is just not fun. The game falls really short here.
- Upgrade armors, have fun finding a fairy on your playthrough, i found 2 of them and one was a horse, the second one didn't even open because needed drums and no explanation to the point i didn't even bother caring for it anymore, so u get hit like a truck by anything
- korok seeds, no thanks
- opened all of the dark world below, there really isn't much in it honestly its dissapointing content starved, found all the light bulbs and i must say the final reward basically made me feel like not collecting anything anymore. It's pointless. Terrible way to finish it.
- Shrines started a bit hard, ended up at the end being easy. I like the few puzzles but they are again way to easy. Wish they spend more time on actual dungeons
- Dungeons where kinda dissapointing, specially with the teleport through roof skill a lot of them break easily. bosses where also piss easy, only had trouble with the sand one.
- AI is a pain in the ass, to get skills activated, give me back the old powers.
- combat is dreadful and not fun, it was already a weak spot in botw, sadly no improvement or overhaul makes u just not watn to fight stuff.
- constant breaking of gear, u do lionel arena and have fun farming a complete set of shields/bows/weapons the point u just want to stop.
- hard to indicate how far something hits you, feels like u get hit by everything like a truck, i lost 9-10 hearts with a single hit so much to the point it feels like cooking new foods is a chore ( farming problem again )
- Money is hard to get at the start of the game, kinda useless at the end of the game. Wish they had better shops, where u can straight up buy foods instead of ingredients.
- cooking system is still shit, with more stuff to cook then ever, the space u got for dishes is way to limited which makes the whole food experience a pain
- building is fun, but put the builder behind a quest is dumb. The same goes for other things like the sky ship, i couldn't figure out what to do because it was gated behind a quest in a village far away. So stupid. kinda kills exploration
- horses and overworld kinda feel pointless to walk through, botw it was atleast a bit better, it's really just flying through the sky all the time because its the easiest, i can't even remember setting 1 food outside of the sand area in the sand. I just flew there and to all the shrines, kinda kills natural exploration.
- Link/zelda/cannon dorf is getting tired now, It's time to move the story related stuff into the next gear really.
- 99% of the rewards and armors are useless, the riddle cubics where interesting to be as i liked the ones in botw, sadly they didn't improve any of it, everything was basically straight up pointed out for you in the mission where everything was. Terrible.
- The wheel of items to attach to your arrow is far to big, cull it. It's tiresome to scroll thought it every now and then.
- enemy variety is better then botw, still heavily lackbusting, the copy past shit is everywhere in the game to extreme levels even temple bosses u can find in the debt again. like wtf.
- performance is unacceptable really at times, its basically a slideshow. Game would have been better released for the switch 2. Specailly the start area is janky as hell also visually. Once u get down on the main land its fine tho.
- New quests etc, and revisiting the same villages. It's nice for people that really digged the villages and wanted to see more of it. In my view it was to much repeat of the same content from botw, rather had a new world entirely instead of copy paste villages. Kills exploring as u already know the layout.
- Shrines, no way to know how many there are, no way to know if u had them all without googling, That's called bad game design.
- some shrines are hard to find to the point u just want to google, that one tiny hole in the side of a mountain where it always is 0 vision through fog/blizzards/storms etc is not fun even remotely.
- All with all its better then BOTW, but botw is probably better replayable then this. I will absolutely not collect the dark area again all the light bubbles, fuck that.
- Rewards and combat still feel meh.
I got burned out, just googled the end fight with canon couldn't bother fighting my way through it, as i dislike the combat heavily.
Good game, but i would say still behind OOT for me.
