The base game is on sale right now on the eshop for $24, and the Gold Edition, which has all the DLC, is $40.

I've heard a lot of things about the game, most of which were basically, "Breath of the Wild but Ubisoft"

I LOVED BotW and I've been getting the itch to play another sandbox game.

So how is the game? I'd like to hear some thoughts on it especially those who bought the DLC since it seems like those are basically 3 standalone games?

How's the performance on Switch though?

I know it got a bunch of patches and updates so I was wondering what the performance is like now since there doesn't seem to be any tests done on the current version.

No, because it's an Ubisoft game.

I think (based on how I pronounce it), it would be a instead of an I could be wrong though

Gonna buy it for Switch w/ the sale, too.

Judging by videos, it looks decent enough w/ the patches.
No idea if the Gold edition / DLC is worth it, but it didn't sound like it.

The writing is atrocious. The game is trying to be "funny", but the writing is so bad that it just comes off as annoying and cringey.
The game itself was surprisingly pretty fun, the best Ubisoft sandbox in a while. I've heard nothing but bad things about the DLC though, so I'd skip them.

I already went ahead and bought the Gold Edition. :/

Ah well, if the DLC does end up disappointing, then it wouldn't be the first time I'd get buyer's remorse.

In any case the game runs surprisingly well, at least as far as I can tell.

Performance and FPS wise, on a scale between Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and Monster Hunter RIse, it's somewhere in between. Which is commendable for an open world game on the switch.

I bought the game a few weeks ago and I have to agree with this. I've only played about four or five hours so far, but I swear that nearly every conversation in the game has to have some kind of joke or quip in it, and it's getting old, fast. I've been meaning to try to get further in, but the real kicker for me is that there are just a ton of puzzles that feel like a chore, and they throw so many at you - hell, I've had to do a puzzle to unlock another puzzle more than once, and a lot of said "puzzles" involve picking something up and putting it on a switch. It feels like busywork more than something that challenges my brain.

On the flip side, it's definitely a solidly built game and it controls well, but it hasn't come close to scratching the same itch BotW did for me. I only paid $10 for it, though (Amazon had a promo around Prime Day where I got $20 off by using my Discover card), so I don't feel too burned about it. Honestly, if you'd been looking for the Xbox version, I probably would've sold it to you at cost; I feel like I'm going to drop it at this point, seeing as how it's been three weeks and I've only played a few hours.

Oh, thought that was $10 on markdown >_<

Granted, I guess $10 on markdown for the XSX (or however you say it?) probably isn't crazy because Sony & Microsoft versions tend to drop steeper than Nintendo (when it comes to physical product; maybe digital is closer)

I just got the $24 standard copy from Gamestop. It's got a paper inside w/ a code for "A Tale of Fire and Lightning". What is that?
Also, box is unwrapped (vintage GS), so I don't know if the code will even work, lol

They always have extra promo codes lying around. It doesn't necessarily mean anything.
