The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Like Tears In Rain (Review)

potato potato also another potato

Pretty much my experience, like steph said, it’s great for all the reasons botw was, and irritating for all the same reasons it was too. For better or worse it’s just more botw with a more densely packed world and a cleverer power set, reminds me a lot of new Vegas vs fallout 3 really

Magical while at the same time relentlessly irritating pretty well sums it up, much as I’m enjoying it a 7 feels very appropriate, good review steph

What do you mean, no one actively likes the durability system? That's just ridiculous, I love durability in all my games and features! I love it so much, in fact, I installed a "keyboard durability" mod to the keyboard I am using to write this comment, and it's gre

I appreciate this review a lot. I'm not a fan of the Zelda series in general. I do remember something you've said in a few reviews before. "It's not about difficulty it's about respecting the players time" and I can't agree enough. I think open world as a genre has so much potential but it is often filled with collection quests and menial busywork. Give me a smaller area and make the exploration rewarding! I don't think it's too much to ask!

We all knew it was going to be a 7/10 affair. Frankly, it could have been utterly perfect as a game and it'd *still* be deserving of a 7/10 just because of the awfulness of some of the fanbase, haha.

Very generous ;-)

IN DEPTH. I'll brew a pot, sit down n' get comfy and read the whole lot later.

Your BotW review was exactly how I felt about the first game, and based on this I probably won't buy ToTK. I'll wait for the sails (heh).

I just noticed right now the acronym for Tears of the Kingdom looks like a crying face! ToTk. Didn't have anyone else to share this with than you lot ^.~

The fucking rain, great game but far from perfect Stef. You hit the nail in the head again.

Because the resounding feedback from my friends was, exactly however they felt about Breath of the Wild, I expect this to be a 7/10.

Viva la Steph, great review!

You're not wrong on any point, but I'm happy to be less annoyed than you by the game's dumb quirks.
