Never played BOTW or Assassin's Creed, so no comparisons from me. Played on Xbox One and it was just an immersive lovely world with tons of things to do that, for the most part, balanced each other out. Can't say all the vaults were my favorite, the platforming-heavy vaults and vaults with balls that have to be moved around by wind or hit just right with a hammer were ones I'd love to never do again. But the exploration was awesome, the puzzles requiring brainpower were fun, the combat was fun enough (and got better the more stamina I got--I wish stamina regenerated faster in battles), the character of Fenyx was perfect, and I love Greek Mythology. I appreciated the story and snippets of Greek Mythology throughout the game. Just kinda wish the humor had been less tied to modern times and more inspired by the old times or the mythology. But it was all enjoyable anyways and the ending was epic.
