Legit question, I havent played it. Main praise I see it the graphics. I hear it's like Zelda though.

It's a fun action adventure game that you can spend 50 hours on, and just really enjoy yourself taking the time to explore what is basically japan, and do quests along with the story, do collectables which actually help gameplay wise in terms of benefits, etc.

I actually wanted to replay it on Switch but I wish there was a way to put my 100% completion Wii save on there so I can do a new game plus instead of starting from scratch. It was a very huge (albeit wonderful) timesink for me and I'd like to restart with all my upgrades.

It's the same reason I didn't bother getting Xenoblade, much rather start off with a new game plus

Music and Zelda level gameplay

It is very similar to Zelda. You have dungeons and heart piece equivalents and what-have-you. It's also super long for an action-adventure game of its time. Like 40-something hours.

The biggest flaw for me is the difficulty: it pretty much has none whatsoever. It also starts a very slowly for the first few hours and has some repetitive repeat boss fights, but otherwise, it's pretty solid.

Its the best Zelda clone ever created. If you like Zelda and Japanese aesthetics then you'll love this game.

---

it has good, fun story, full of likeable characters, IMO.

the art style is beautiful, and it has a nice take on Japanese mythology.

Fantastic OST, great world to explore, tons of side content, great characters

---

It's a good Zelda game. For the first 12 hours. Then you realize there's 38 more hours of collecting shit, and you decide that that One Boss Fight counts as the Final Boss, after all.

Ahh that lack of difficulty is the kind of thing that scares me away lol.

I wish it had actual story

If that's a deal breaker then yeah you might want to avoid it. The game is insanely easy and could have definitely used some challenge.

I might still play it at some point but I really do hate it when you have to essentially go out of your way to die.
