I haven't even beat the game yet, but I got it recently and I LOOOOVE it. The 3D mode is SUPER well done. The graphics are flawless, the character's voices are wonderful, and I love how you can really get a sense of the character's personality in 3D mode because of the wonderful depth and all... btw, I HIGHLY recommend you play in 3D mode, because of what I just said - you feel like you're really a part of the game, like Erik is your real buddy in real life - plus, 2D is hard to accept in this day and age, ya know. Personally I feel the game is good when it comes to how hard it is; fighting monsters in easy enough once you have good enough weapons and armor, and of course there is a nice challenge offered once you get into a new part of the game, like when you're in the city trying to get back the orb (sorry if I'm spoiling a bit of what happens). There is a lot of dialog, and the dialog is usually in a cut scene where the characters have actual voices and talk sort of slowly while the words are also appearing on the screen underneath them for you to read - but I personally like the dialog, because that's what gives you a sense of who the characters are in the story and what they're like - and I also LOVE the accents in which they talk, ESPECIALLY ERIK!!!! I LOVE ERIK!!!
Anyway, I hope this review helped... here it is summed up: If you like breath of the wild, enjoy fighting monsters to level up your character, like ANY other game in the Dragon Quest series, then GET THE GAME! but i'll have you know, this game is far less open-ended than BOTW, but it IS similar...
