The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo Switch)

I have put more than 100 hours into this game and theres still so many things to do. I love how it never feels boring and finding korok seeds after completing the main mission is suprisingly very fun! Love the artstyle and plot. Works well on the switch

Game of the year. You play as, master swordsman, Link tasked with saving Hyrule and helping Princess Zelda by defeating the evil Ganondorf. The game has 5 different main quest lines each with one of the four divine beast or involving the master sword. There are 6 main races living in different regions: the birdlike Rito in their hilly, windy mountains with snow and snowstorms; the amazonesslike Gerudo in their desert, sandy planes with sandstorms and dusts; the fishlike Zora in their lakes and rivers leading to a waterfall palace with frequent rains and thunderstorms; the rock golemlike Goron living in their lava filled volcanoes with fiery heatwaves. There is also the elflike Hylians and Sheikah who live is villages and towns spread through out the game. Finally, there are Koroks which are based on Kodama friendly childlike forest spirits. It's a fantasy game that takes place in a large open-world. You have melee combat, ranged combat, elements that interact differently with each other. There are 120 puzzle shrines to complete; 226 named location to visit; 900 korok seed to find; 4 divine beast to power up; 18 memories with Zelda to discover; 385 items/monsters to scan; 3 Medal of Honor to win. The expansion dlc adds adds a hard mode and new story content, including trials to power up your master sword. Beside having your melee, range and magic weapons; you also have runes that: let you move around metallic objects; spawn square or spherical explosives; stop any object and lock it in space-time; create a pillar of ice; Scan and analyze objects; make noise when near said object; and finally summon a motor cycle. Overall, its a 10/10 masterpiece of a game. 100 hour worth of gameplay.

Tl;dr- This is like a classic LoZ game combined with the sheer exploration potential of an Elder Scrolls game and even more on top of that. It's now my favourite game and you can tell even as soon as you've reached a story milestone that you'll get hundreds of hours out of the game in one play-through if you do everything. I found it quite hard to write this review because 1. I wanted to talk about absolutely everything I like but that would just be spoiler city and 2. I honestly just wanted to stop typing to play the game more! This game has to be, by far, the best game I have ever played. I bought the Switch because I wanted to play this game though was somewhat sceptical if the cost would be worth it. I haven't had as much fun in a video game as I have with this one before. I'm aware that a lot of people who are classic LoZ fans aren't happy with this game given they claim it's "not a LoZ game" though for the most part I have to disagree. The base of the puzzle dungeon aspect is still there. Just because the puzzles are split out across over 100 instances doesn't mean that the feature is gone and for me it's the puzzle dungeons that make the LoZ franchise. The puzzles being split into so many smaller little "trails" as they are called is, to me, a really great idea. They all teach you a way to use your equipment which is useful for later trails or for the main story quest. In addition to this, you've got a massively expansive world with a great variation of terrain (each example of which brings its own hazards in enemies and how the environment affects you such as snowy mountains being dangerously cold) as well as a great combat system where you can either get by just attacking when you can or you can really learn how it works which is rewarding once you get it down. There's also the food system where you can hunt or forage for ingredients and then cook them to create various dishes which provide health as well as many different buffs depending on what you cook (for example you can cook a meat skewer with meat you hunt for which gives a good amount of health, then you can create a similar dish but with stamina-restoring properties if you add another ingredient which restores stamina when cooked to make a healing item that also restores stamina and so on). In addition to the cooking you can also brew potions witcher-style using monster drops and various herbs found in the world so you can get more effective or longer lasting buffs without the health boosts. The open-world potential of this game really impressed me. Not only through how you can just ignore the main story quest and go off to do whatever you want while still having a load of fun, but there's so many small details that make this game so special. You can climb every tree, every mountain and just about everything else that is obviously not supposed to be climbed on (though the list of things you can't climb is very short). You can fell trees with an axe, cut the log into firewood, pile the wood up and then set fire to it using any source of fire you may have (flint, lit torch, lightning strike, the list goes on) and then use this fire either as a means to keep yourself warm in a cold wilderness/at night, to open-roast food to cook it quickly and to skip time by resting beside it. Every item of clothing does something different (basic clothes, armour, cold-resistance, heat-resistance and so on). The story of the game may not be for everyone due to the style it was written (minor spoiler--- it's written in the retrospective, learn about the past as you play kind of way---end spoiler) though I really like it, you're not forced into playing through the main story quests and all there's so much additional lore to search out. You don't get a "hand-holding" experience with the story, quest markers on your map aren't necessarily pointing to the solution and you usually have to do some asking around or pathfinding in the area that you're pointed to in order to work out what you need to do. Overall- this game is worth buying a Switch for alone, anyone who enjoys puzzles, exploration, combat, little features which let you play the way you want to play- this is the game for you!

Nothing wrong with the box, everything was intact. Game is amazing 100/10

Gioco epico, l'ho adorato

Though I'm a kid at heart, I actually started playing home video games with Pong in the 1970s. Then it was an Atari 2600, then a TI 99 4/A, a Commodore 64, a home computer, a Nintendo, and on and on, right up through the PS4 (no 5 yet, I went a different direction and got a Switch). I start with that, because I've played thousands of video games over the span of my lifetime. There have been a lot of good ones. Space Invaders, Centipede, Q*Bert, Pac-Man, up through Adventure, Pitfall, Donkey Kong (also the first Nintendo console game) ... fast-forward to games (not necessarily in chronological order) like Wizardry, EverQuest, Dragon Age, Grand Theft Auto V, Diablo II, Baldur's Gate, all the Elder Scrolls games, the Witcher 3. Everything from Dragon's Lair to FTL to Hades. Wasteland, Fallout, X-Com, Cyberpunk 2077. You get the drift. And I gotta say, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WIld might JUST be the greatest video game ever made. It just fires on all cylinders. It would be easy to say this game is overrated, and there are actually a handful of people who believe just that - but it's not. It's rated exactly right. More "10" ratings on official video game publications than any game in history. That's probably all you need to know. The game is fun. Its systems work perfectly, there's plenty of room for ingenuity in approaching situations. Combat, exploration, storytelling - it's all done right. A world that rivals or exceeds anything Bethesda or CD Projekt Red has ever created. Whether you've played every Zelda game up to this point or are a newcomer to the series, once you've figured out the controls and what you're supposed to be doing - you'll get lost in this world for many, many, many hours. This is what gaming is all about.

Jogo muito bom, uma aventura gigante, e bem feita!!!
