I was very attracted to art style of this when it came out on PC. I heard some feedback on weak gameplay. So I skipped it. There were some bigger updates to address those issues. Now it was released on GAME PASS so I tried its very pleasant mix of Indiana Jones and Jagged Alliance. It is relaxing, easy and yes — repetitive.
@dres I can't say I don't agree, I am probably bit of arrogant here. I am also aware of the fact, that Zelda borrowed some mechanics from other games (most funny and ironic example is towers and map revealing system from Ubisoft – so Immortals might be direct revenge for that ). And yes, I am a Zelda fanboy (for a reason). I wrote I am giving it a chance and as I have low expectations it might surprise me. Zelda BOTW is one of the greatest game of all time, and while my gaming history is quite huge, my experience with Nintendo and Zelda games is pretty shallow. Zelda BOTW astound my heart and kept an unremovable memory – I have a doubt Immortals can do the same. Look I am just being honest here — I wanted to try the game to have my own experience and demo will do the job. My presumption (based on majority of Ubisoft titles) is that if I will buy full game, I would lost interest in it after few hours. I have the right to express my not so positive expectations.
I think that Demo will be exactly enough time I want to spend with this game. I am giving it a chance, but I don't like idea of the Zelda BOTW clone that is ripped off the huge mystery and emotion layer.
I really tried to like the demo – it just bored me after 15 minutes. When you compare first moments of BOTW and this it's not like 8/10 to 10/10. The excitement, magic and whole ocean of joy BOTW was pumping into you from the very first moment is not anywhere close here. More like 5/10 and 10/10. I know we are looking at two completely different games. It might be a solid game but it can't expect us not to compare the experience, for they share the world more than any other two Zelda games. It only make me want to play BOTW again.
But this is my point of view. So I feel the same as other comments say. If you like it—then ignore me and enjoy! I am happy for you.
Haha — there is nothing like "world returning to normal". COVID changed world already and is just a little period of big and fundamental changes humans need to undergo. "Hey Joe, when you are done with COVID, please come over and check out the climate change, polarised nations, inequality of life quality in the world or any other serious topic." But I am not saying that games won't persist. Just returning to normal is not real.
Have this on my Mac/Bootcamp and I love the art style (and the whole game), but rebooting into Windows is pain— so I need it for Switch (perfect for short sessions). I was stalking their Discord for some time to be there when they announce the release. And now 3 weeks of darkness.
@SpaceboyScreams It is awesome! The style! The lore! It is difficult and yet keeps you trying. One of the most memorable games from overflowing market.
I hope that the character animations in the trailer are just placeholders because they feel very robotic and not very smooth. Disney animation was always very organic and smooth (I am looking at you Cuphead).
These are very good memories, but in the light of games like Session and Skater XL I am not interested anymore. While saying that I believe that lot of players that are not focused on real skateboarding will love to return playing these remasters and finding out how they didn't aged well.
I am really looking forward for this. Tony Hawk games (at least first 3) were nice and fun. But i was always looking for something that will make me more feel like skateboarding for real. I am also playing Session early access and they say it should be coming to switch. Session is imho the best out there for REAL skateboarding experience so far.
@dewokkel It's kinda off-topic but — well COVID-19 is not holiday, world is going to change a lot. Wise people should use this time to get ready. Yeah some people will stay intact, but lot of industries as well as our lives will need to adapt and transform.
This will be great next-gen after playing both DOOMs! Switch is is so awesome with all the games being released. I wish there is a parallel universe with some sort of time freeze pause so you can play while not wasting your life.
Well this is looking great. I will pick this up when I finish The Keep (as much as I love The Keep, there is a bug I didn't manage to get over and no response from support).
These guys know how to do the game business! Hitting buy. Can't wait to load my GOG save from beginning of Blood and Wine. And there is this 30% sale to make me smile while spending money.
I bought it – it is that GAME we all remember for fair price. I just hope they soon fix this login nonsense, slower music and I wouldn't mind aspect ratio option.
Boring waste of time – the game has no character. It throws on you [removed] load of information, UI and UX is crap. Everything seems so generic. Do not bother with this.
I feel like these peaceful worlds are how people want their to be, but they aren't. Not overcrowded, not spoiled, slow going. I like these too, but it seems like I just can't accept reality.
