Rating: 91/100 (PC version) Playtime: ~40 hours There were quite a few bugs, but only a few made me have to reload from a save. The story felt quite short, compared to the Witcher 3, and I was expecting it to be a bit longer. Story is also very well made, once you understand it. Some side missions link into the main story decisions, which is a cool touch (e.g. Chippin In quest decisions can affect ending). I managed to run this with a GTX 1080, and a Ryzen 7 2700x (OC) at 1080p, around 50-60fps. The laggiest part of the game seemed to be multiple explosions, and driving around in third person. The screen flashed black at times, but I believe that could be CPU related. I played this at Very Hard mode and the game had missions to infiltrate an enemy base, heavily guarded by enemy's that kills in one shot. While I did have very decent weapons, they were still a challenge, and shooting them 20 times in the head with a sniper rifile did the trick (I did not know that takedowns were a thing, so I just went all in). There are a lot of well made features that overall improved the experience. The developers did spend LOTS of time on this, which is a recipe for an abundance of bugs. When most of these bugs are fixed, the game can reach new heights for PC gaming.

If you are fine with failing hundreds of times before winning, this game is for you. If you don't have this mindset, the Twin Matchstick boss may be too much. The game is MUCH easier if you master the controller. It took a lot more attempts on a keyboard, than a controller, so far. The controller seems to be easier to use, especially for the robot boss, where arrow keys do not prevail. The art style was well made, and the devil boss was painful, especially the 3rd phase. Two player mode was chaotic, especially for run and gun, but made some battles easier, especially the bosses that use the plane. Annoying Things: - THE FROGS - The Devil's MINIONS are everywhere and hard to dodge - The Devil's 3rd phase is almost mission impossible - King Dice MONKEY boss - Dodging the Bee Boss TRIANGLES - Balloon Boss PENGUINS - Pirate Boss BARREL - Twin Matchstick's 3rd phase - Train Boss BONES

To Improve (for BOTW 2?): - add ability to fix weapons, rather than losing weapons forever after they break - master sword temporarily breaking should not be a feature - add dungeons - divine beast dungeons were short and easy, apart from Vah Naboris which was a long and painful experience - too many shrines - after completing all the shrines, it took a very long time, and there should be a quicker way to get heart pieces or stamina vessels - make final boss actually hard - overpreparation made little difference when attacking final boss, and was defeated relatively easily - remove korok seeds - it is a meme to collect all 900 seeds, and it does not add much to the game
