It's one of the best open world games of all time

But it's still an open world game. With all the problems that open world games always have.


And at least to my objective eye, it's not even a great open world game. Sure it looks good and it has climate systems and whatnot but honestly there never was much incentive for me to explore. Even Bethesda games, as troublesome as they can be, have silly random and scripted NPC encounters, a variety of dungeons and caves and cities and whatnot to find, bizarre easter eggs, etc.

In BoTW it felt like I was just aimlessly wandering through barren landscapes looking for another of the same enemy I'd already fought a bunch of times or a little dungeon with the same general visual aesthetic and a puzzle involving an orb or something. I never reached the top of a hill and was in awe of something I saw on the other side, which I have done in most other 3D open world games at least once.
