NINTENDO The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - "It looks like a DLC", quote Necrokiller

[venom]

So I just overclocked my switch and the game is now pretty much locked at 30fps.

75 hours in the game and I have roughly explored 50% of Hyrule and the sky islands and only 25% of the chasms. Saying that the game is massive is an understatement.

My review is out now

And in the case of Tears of the Kingdom, that means a whole lot more forgettable fetch quests from flavorless NPCs, more nondescript ruins to explore with little tangible payoff, and more copy-pasted land to traverse between missions. Simply put, it’s a hearty serving of even more of the exact same thing that’s come before.

Turns out, outside of a few neat new bells and whistles, the game too often feels like a glorified DLC.

6/10

'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' Review: Breath of the Familiar

For all the welcome freedom it hands you, 'Tears of the Kingdom' may be the safest and least adventurous 'Legend of Zelda' game to date.

I finished the game today, finally got some time. I'd say it's better than BOTW.

Final battle was epic, Still got tons of Shrines to do and areas to explore but i think i've had enough for now.

I've got a more juicy update for you

Below Elden Ring, where it belongs

10 points above mid Cyberpunk 2077, where it belongs

Useless update from CerebralTiger, as expected

Two fantastic Japanese games dominating for two consecutive years with the same Metascore!

Japan!

Still the undisputed king of RPGs in all of gaming.

Took me 155 hours to finally finish this game. Absolutely incredible piece of art and innovation by Nintendo. The level of scale, content and freedom this game offers is unparalleled and I don't think there is any game that I have played that offers it as much as TOTK. This is definitely going in my top 3 games of all time.

Since we're bumping inactive threads to share interesting developments.

Below Elden Ring, where it belongs

Above Elden Ring now

(Personally, I enjoyed them both equally for different reasons, and in the end Japan wins )
