I’ve been playing this game for like 3 hours and it’s pretty good, it’s immersive. I don’t really agree with the graphical downgrades being a negative, as some are to be expected on a lesser system. However it looks incredible handheld, (but not so great docked in my opinion). It’s detailed and very crisp.
I’ve been finding the characters hilarious unintentionally. It’s hands-down the most emo experience I think I’ve ever had. I completely agree with the ‘on your nose’ moments, they’re so cringey, I can’t help but laugh. I don’t think the developers have intentionally done this, it’s just when they force-feed emotion down your throat - they want to be sincere - but it feels completely contrived. However they couldn’t have made it any other way, as it’s this emo-ness that is core to the experience.
I never finished playing Skyward Sword on the Wii, and I was interested to come back to it on the Switch. I now know why I never finished it as it’s painfully unmemorable. All the dungeons merge into one and everything is easily forgettable. I had minor issues with the motion controls, I’m surprised how many didn’t like them actually. The two main issues with the game for me are:
1. The locations and environments lack personality and character. Everywhere feels kind of samey, whether you’re in a forest or desert. All the textures are the same. Nothing like OOT or BOTW. There is no atmosphere.
2. They recycle locations, making everything repetitive and boring. The Silent Realms obviously. And the bit where Faron Woods was flooded was so excruciating it made me wanna stop playing it there and then, again. It was a cheap and lazy way to extend the gameplay. Don’t get me started on the Imprisoned…
Skyward Sword is by far the worst modern Zelda game ever created. People seem to dislike BOTW mainly because they didn’t play it properly, i.e they bum-rushed through the main story and didn’t bother to explore the world, which is what the whole game is all about.
