Lost_All_Senses 07/12/20 1:44:11 PM #28:	I agree, Rockstar got it on lock. I respect BOTW, but I got bored semi fast. The way you had to find stuff completely on your own is 10/10 tho. I think I'm just old and boring now and it makes games like RDR2 way more my speed. It was just far more fun to explore. Or it could be Im more into the random NPC interactions over finding new puzzles to solve. For a huge puzzle fan, BOTW must be a wet dream. If I can't figure it out in 10 minutes, Im frustrated.
