    Simple Action Adventure. Nice building Item mechanic.
    Very bad Graphic, only 30fps, missing rpg mechanics, empty Open World, bad audio syncro, bad character design, missing good Quests

    Most disappointing game ever. BOTW is one of the greatest games of all time and this is a lazy soulless clone of it. New skies and depths have nothing fun to do might as well not be in the game at all. Same monsters, koroks, lame sidequests and shrine puzzles from BOTW copy pasted everywhere. The main quest is slightly improved divine beasts (they still suck). Bosses are a total joke.Most disappointing game ever.

Story is awful makes no sense, awful character design and cringe cutscenes. Not just the map, literally EVERYTHING is copied over from BOTW and the story plays out exactly the same. How am I not supposed to feel like I'm just replaying an inferior BOTW ripoff? If you play Zelda to make logic gates and helicopters then I guess this is your game but if you're anyone else with a brain this game is a complete failure. I am still dumbfounded that Nintendo created this embarrassment. Even more dumbfounded that everyone is giving it a 10??? I will never understand...… Expand

    There is zero excuse for making a copy pasted game, right after tutorial section of the game, it became too boring and felt like I was playing the same game all over again as I did many years ago.

    For me Zelda TOTK is just a big dlc. I liked the game but I didn't feel the joy I had felt with botw. Zelda TOTK is a disappointment for me. And I am sad cause I love Zelda games I wish the best for the next game Nintendo (please Nintendo please)

    Es un juego bueno, el apartado artístico mola mucho pero la historia me parece que está desaprovechada y es muy flojita, al final se queda en una historia pasable, el juego es 95% explorar un enorme mapa, cosa que al final cansa.

    Lo recomiendo pero no es perfecto en absoluto y l he echado 60h o más

    El juego está muy conseguido Gracias a sus nuevas mecánicas de verdad me parece que han conseguido innovar pero ni de lejos es el mejor de la franquicia, la historia es bastante floja y los diálogos son para un público pre adolescente. Lo juegas por fan de la saga pero no es para tanto

    Game consideravelmente mediano se comparado com BOTW. Pouca inovação, design que estressa a visão em vários locais, jogabilidade padrão, sem muitas diferenças e um mapa que não impressiona. É praticamente um BOTW piorado.

    World - 7

    Это больше похоже на DLC чем на полноценную игру. И вот почему.
    1. Основная карта почти не изменена. Да там добавили пару новых объектов некоторое количество дыр. Но это тот же самый Хайрул который был в botw,

    2. Добавленное подземелье это просто огромная пустая локация с повторяющимися боссами и врагами. Там по сути нет сюжетных миссий. Из побочных более или менее интересных это клан ига. Такое ощущение что эту локацию добавили просто, что бы хоть как-то оправдать ценник в 70$ Для сюежта который тут кстати очень плохой ее можно почти не трогать.
    3. небесных островов довольно мало и они вписаны в сюжет довольно странным образом.
    Ну а теперь о самой игре.
    Сюжет ужасен. Он мало того, что перечеркивает весь сюжет botw он еще и ломает повествование. Если описать его без существенных сполеров. То в прошлом люди натворили бед и в место того что бы их решить. Они их оставили потомкам. Город говоря что потомки разберутся. Ну а вы потомок вот и расхлебывайте. Но даже без этого возникает много вопросов. Даже не надейтесь, что вам объяснят где были эти острова в botw и почему мы их не видели. Где был еще одни дракон который появился в этой части. Куда исчезла раса которая была в botw. Кто такие мудрецы и почему их нет тут. Каким образом святилище борятся со злом и как это Раурус смог их построить. Кто такой Рауроус. Почему все в этом мире забыли про технологии и роботов. В общем вопросов у вас будет море.
    Боевая система. Она стала еще хуже. Мало того, что вам теперь нужно запоминать где лежит более или менее хорошее оружие. Так вам теперь надо еще и запомнить где лежит улучшение которое сделает ваше оружие лучше. Да вы можете грейдить оружие. НО
    1 если оружие не грейдить оно ломается за 3-5 ударов. и имеет очень маленький урон.
    2 все улучшения имеют уровень. То есть если вы взяли рог бокоблина то он к любому оружую прибавить допустим 6. А там королевский рог белого бокоблина добавит 40. Понятно, что к хорошему оружию вы не будете присобачивать хлам. Отсюда вся способность объединения идет нах. Мало того если оружие уже почти сломано и вы объедините его с хорошим улучшением то оружие останется сломанным. Так что улучшением починить оружие нельзя.
    Ну и на сладкое способности.
    Они хуже и скучнее. Чаромонтаж особого разнообразия не дает. Комбикинез - прикольно побаловаться но жрет много ресурсов. Чаропортал - сокращение дистанци. Способность ситуативная. Естественно без нее некоторые данжи не пройти. Автореверс - скучная хрень. Применяется очень редко. Реконструктор - позволяет воссоздать ваши изобретения если вы их сохранили. Для этого нужны либо ресурсы либо сами предметы. И то и то можно фармить. Если вам это нравится. Для сюжета не нужен.    … Expand

    Runes suck here too, where is my stasis ability? the Recall is no replacement for it. The only ones i really liked was Ascend because it helps with getting to higher areas, as well as Fuse which lets me fuse objects like boulders/rocks/collapsed ruins to my weapons/shields for increased damage and defense. Ultrahand is basically just magnetism like in BotW, except that you can attach things together with it, which I always avoid doing whenever possible.
    The only times where I can somewhat enjoy this game is when I'm playing it like I would play BotW.
    This game should just have been a DLC, which would have been less terrible and wouldn't have somehow taken 6 whole years to make, and wouldn't have cost 70 bucks etiher.
    Do yourself a favor and just get BotW instead.    … Expand

    First, let me start by giving some credentials, I have a bachelors in game design and a crap ton of experience too. Now let me state why this game only deserves 2 stars and why anyone who has ever played a better game should stay away.

This game is bread, sure it is decent, but not compared to ice    First, let me start by giving some credentials, I have a bachelors in game design and a crap ton of experience too. Now let me state why this game only deserves 2 stars and why anyone who has ever played a better game should stay away.
    This game is only fun, for people who have not had the joy of trying something better. This game is bread, sure it is decent, but not compared to ice cream.

    The dungeons in this game are great, the shrines (or at least most of them) are great. Every other element in this game is designed to only cause you suffering. The number 1 rule of video games is that they should be fun, it is literally in the definition of game. Yet for some reason Nintendo decided that you can't have fun until you earn it.
    What does earn it entail, well you must walk in a straight line for 2 hours to get to the fun. Don't bother fighting enemies, they only use up your resources, making you have to stop on your long boring walk to the content to go gather more resources.
    Is that a tough enemy blocking your way, run past it, can't? Then go make food, where is the nearest cooking pot? 2 hours in the other direction. Honestly Nintendo could have saved so much time and money by just making the dungeons and shrines and having a loading screen in between each one that just says "SCREW YOU" because that is what the rest of the game is.
    Breakable items were probably added to encourage experimentation, unfortunately there is just a best weapon combo because all weapons are the same, just with different damage numbers, so no need to experiment. All breakable items do is encourage players to not engage with the combat in the game, because even when you win, you lose (your items).
    Stamina might as well not exist, until you upgrade it you can (slowly) run for 2 seconds then wait 3 for it to refill. And, just in case you want to try and run a little longer than 2 seconds, Nintendo yet again says screw you by making you walk so slow that it would have been faster to just not sprint at all.
    What about horses, well, if you go out of your way to get one (or bring one over from botw) it can save you some boring walking time, but not much as the game map is so vertical and the horses are not able to follow you, meaning you can only really use them around the plains, so you can't use them to get to a single freaking dungeon.
    Surely gliding is better, no, stamina means you can only glide short distances and you don't recover stamina while falling so, once it is empty you are done gliding, Nintendo doesn't care that you think gliding is fun, you must play the game in the way they want, this isn't your game, and you can't do anything about it except not play.
    Zonai devices fix this right? Absolutely not, did you make a really cool flying machine, vehicle, etc. do you like using it, well screw you it's gone. All Zonai devices have a short time limit that they can be used, for instance, do you not want to fast travel to a cooking pot, then slowly walk back to the "content" of the game, well you can use a Zonai instant pot (assuming you have one in your inventory which requires gathering items, going to a specific pot shaped location, and gambling to see how many pots you get out of the literal gaptcha machine, o yeah, you might as well just fast travel to a cooking pot and skip the middle man). Then finally, you have your instant pot and are ready to cook your meals without leaving the content, nope, screw you again, it can cook 1 meal, then it is gone. 1 meal in this game is basically nothing, imagine 1 healing potion in any other rpg and that is what 1 meal is.

    So yes there is some fun to be had, but only if you are willing to slog through the most boring, tedious, monotonous bull crap that video games have to offer. Literally every other entertainment medium (books, movies, etc.) have learned to skip the slowly walking parts of the adventure, but for some reason video games have still not learned how to make getting from content to content fun (with a few exceptions, most famously Infamous).    … Expand

    The good thing is that, thanks to the limited possibilities, the creators couldn't go crazy and swing for hundreds of game miles. Instead, they created what could be called Elden Ring in a travel pack. [Issue#328]

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has lived up to the high expectations created by the success of Breath of the Wild with its exquisitely intertwined gameplay systems, outstanding music, and a legendary story culminating in a magnificent denouement. It's not every day that such a special video game like this comes around. Truly the stuff of legend.
