@commentlife - It’s crazy how much of a downgrade it is, but I was expecting it due to a previous experience. I was hoping that I would have been proved wrong though…
I originally bought the game on Steam on release day. I attempted to play it on my brand new $1,600 MacBook Pro since it was compatible (I’m aware that Macs aren’t the go-to for gaming). It chugged so hard that I had to basically turn all the visual options to low or off in order to have a playable framerate (mimicking the styling of the Switch version).
However, it’s incredible on my XSX & my “cheap” Acer Nitro 5 laptop (3+ years old).
For as basic as it looks, there is a lot going on in the graphics department to make it appear so beautiful and immersive (apparently).
I did a play through on Series X and it’s pretty incredible. Same nostalgic feel and sound, but incredible graphics compared to the og launch consoles, and welcome updates. I’ll be buying day one on the Switch, too. This kind of gameplay is ideal for the platform.
@delt75 - For the most part the soundtrack is the same. I believe they lost a few tracks due to licensing, but they have added some worthy ones (I could be mistaken though). Overall, the staples are still there.
@Slowdive - I’m right there with you. I’m pretty stoked for it! The other reviews I’ve watched seem to enjoy it immensely, and while they do mention BotW, they aren’t comparing every single aspect to it.
Games play off of each other, and that’s a good thing. Being that gaming is very personal, just because someone thinks something is meh, doesn’t mean the masses will. This review gave it a 7, which is very respectable, didn’t mention any major performance bugs, but somewhat frowned upon it compared to Zelda.
Remove all the Zelda comparisons, focus on what’s directly in front of you, and this game sounds like a success.
BotW wasn’t a perfect game, but still immensely enjoyable. I’ll be going into Immortals Fenyx Rising with an open mind & fresh eyes.

@PunkyKayla - You’re in luck; they’re coming to mobile in the first half of 2022. Rockstar has stated so, themselves.
