Its like comparing mario to zelda. Sure the same guy made it but its not the same.
If youre a patient person that doesnt mind a game deliberately taking 8 hours to get going in order to establish a base line then id highly recommend the game.
Its unapologetically weird. It marches to the beat of its own drummer. The game does an excellent job of creating a gameplay loop that with each lap adds a new layer to the gameplay so much so that by end game it doesnt resemble those first 8 hours at all.
It takes the open expanse that breath of the wild did so well but it out does it; the players grow throughout the journey. You are rewarded for your time spent.
The ambience is top shelf. Sound and visual design are A+++. Among the best ever of any game from any genre. This engine will be interesting to see as its used more going forward.
And the community aspect (which i wont spoil) is crazy awesome and its the best use of online in a single player game ever
Itll likely tank in the states though. Shame too. Fastest selling new IP this gen in japan at least...but still...
