    I honestly can't find anything bad enough in the game to rate it lower than a 10. The art style is gorgeous, the combat is entertaining, the open world is one of the best I've seen, and while empty at times, it has set the basics of what an open world should be like.

Maybe the weakest point of BOTW is its narrative, which is kind of predictable and plain, and the Divine Beast boss difficulties could be tweaked a bit, but overall, I find that those are compensated by the other strong points of the game.
    Overall one of the best games to exist. If you can, you should definitely try it out.    … Expand

    Game is very good, but still wayy too much hype around it.

    Repetitive + meh graphics hidden behind a wall of cartoonish choice because of the switch.

    Gameplay facepalm : you can't switch locked target, you have to unlock, and pray for your next lock to be the target you expected.

    Other than that very solid game.

    Weapon system is horrible and it feels really unrewarding to explore as the only thing you can really discover is shrines and koroks.

    This is honestly the best game I’ve ever played. The wonderful world, huge and interesting, with lots of interesting NPC, quests, secrets, Easter eggs… everything is designed perfectly to fit in. It’s just perfect, the best game of all time undoubtedly.

    The multiple cheese pizza of gaming
    everytime you grab a bite you feel something new and its good
    the only downside on it is that when you try all the flavors you just get used to it

    I want the old Zelda type of games back.
    This is not really Zelda.
    And the switch is to slow, you can not play in 1080p.

    Okay, I'm just going to start by saying that this game is absolutely phenomenal. I consider The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to be my number 1 favorite video game of all time. What I like most about it is its combat mechanics. Combat in this game is incredibly fun, and I like how a good chunk of it fundamentally boils down to timing.

I consider The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to be my number 1 favorite video game of all time. What I like most about it is its combat mechanics. Combat in this game is incredibly fun, and I like how a good chunk of it fundamentally boils down to timing. The game isn't that picky with the timing, but just picky enough to the point where it is not underwhemingly easy. Its story, while not the best, is still fairly interesting, and is the most common complaint about this game, at least that I hear. I also love how the map is never short of things to discover. From shrines, to sheikah towers, to labyrinths, to the farious villages and towns scattered across the map. I will, admit, that I do not have a good attention span, and I find it difficult to sit and play the same game, or do the same activity, for any more than one-and-a-half hours without taking breaks. This game however, is one of the few exceptions, one where I am able to get immersed so well to where I end up spending upwards of five hours in one sitting (which, for me, is a lot) only interrupted by the occasional food break and bathroom break. This game is also very replayable. After finiahing it, I started up another save file, just so I could experience it again. Although, the second time isn't as fun because I already knew what to expect, but that problem is unavoidable with any game. The controls don't make it feel like my hands are holding the controller, it feels like my hands ARE the controllers. My only real complaint about this game is a pretty minor one, but it's over the fact that after finishing the main story quest, the adventure log does not say you finished it, and the game just acts as if you never finished it, regardless of how many times you actually do finish the story.

    TLDR: Graphics: 9.5/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    World immersion 10/10
    Story: 8/10
    Replayability: 10/10

    Extensive and lifeless map, leaving the game proposal that is good in a boring and monotonous experience after a few hours of play. Meaningless missions that add absolutely nothing. Weak rewards that don't encourage the player to chase missions. No subtitles in other languages, mainly Portuguese (mainly for the price charged in Brazil).

    I play on par with the Zelda franchise. Fantastic game play, a very good story and with side quests that do not hinder the story, undoubtedly one of the best games of the Zelda franchise ever made. The DLC is actually pretty good and adds great hours to the game.

    An excellent entry to the franchise that has the best open world I've yet to play, although the story is definitely a little weaker than other entries, the excellent and enjoyable gameplay more than makes up for it.

    -un système de quête classique rpg, OK mais laissez pas le stagiaire les écrire
    -des casses tête et énigmes, OK mais si c'est faisable par un enfant de 6 ans c'est malheureusement trop simple pour la moyenne des joueurs et on s'ennuie
    -un doublage fr, OK mais seulement 1 phrase par personnage majeur sinon j'espère que vous aimez les onomatopées

    Je peux continuer comme ça longtemps, dans les idées c'est pas si mal alors pourquoi le jeu est aussi.. MEH ?
    En bref ça aurait fait un bon jeu mobile a la limite mais si on me l'avait pas prêté j'aurais pas foutu 60 balles dedans

    Pour mes propos si dessus j'ai évidemment terminé le jeu a quasi 100% (je ne compte pas le remplissage omniprésent évidemment)

    PS: j'écris ça a la sortie de TOTK, qui a tout l'air d'être un DLC à 80 euros

    Where it takes mechanics from others in the industry, it improves upon them; where it introduces new ones, you slap your forehead in amazement that it hasn’t been done before. Breath of the Wild is development done right, and damn near the best game you’ll play all year.
