AAA is $70 now…
For the same rehashed experiences 9ver and over again (mostly). There some good exceptions to that though, like Death Stranding and TotK
Tears is good, but feels pretty iterative with the same sorts of champions, start, general story arc, and map. It’s a decent game, but I wouldn’t really call it groundbreaking compared to some of Zelda’s historic releases. I’ve played a ton of it and like it, though I do wish that the archipelagos and underground didn’t feel so…empty…
No big cities in the sky or underground, where it was a slam dunk to add the avians or shark race to sprawling overwold or underworld metropolises, perhaps long lost. The assassin’s guild still plays a bit role when they could have laid the foundation for gannon’s army, having repurposed some of the robots from the last game.
Even though Zant is dead, I would have liked to see a return to twighlight in the underground. :3
