The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. As a die hard Zelda fan, I was beyond hyped for this one. Probably my biggest letdown in all of gaming.

  • No real story to follow
  • No cast of interesting characters outside of optional collectible flashbacks
  • Repetitive, lifeless gameplay. No real dungeons or temples, every “mini dungeon” that does exist is the same copy pasted theme.
  • No score of memorable unique music, just the MiNiMaLiSm of some understated occasional piano.

Came back to my save a couple times to push through, but the entire game is just the same 4 activities copy pasted 300 times with no variation or progression that makes your 50th hour unique from your first.

I totally agree with the exception of the music. I know what you mean because there is minimal music in the “open world” parts of the game, but the actual songs made for the actually interesting places are bangers.

I mean ultimately it’s a matter of personal opinion, but there’s a reason so many legacy Zelda songs are so beloved and memorable, and have been sampled and remixed to death over decades and nobody really talks about or remembers any particular themes from BOTW.
