    Idk if this counts as recent but breath of the wild. Idk the last time I spent $60 on a game, let alone the $100 I spent on botw + DLC, because “how can literally everyone be wrong about this game”.

    The combat was fun for a decent amount of time but at a certain point I asked myself “wtf am I doing”. I didn’t care about the story because it was awful and the voice acting was embarrassing. Exploring the world felt incredibly shallow, with the most exciting thing to randomly run into being recycled mini bosses that rewarded me with weapons that I didn’t need. Any challenge the combat or exploration presented could be bypassed by grinding for potions.

    By far the most bafflingly over hyped game I’ve ever played.

      Most disappointing Zelda I’ve ever played. Sadly this is the formula going forward for Zelda so the new ones are gonna be a hell no from me.

        I loved the puzzle dungeons of the previous games. The shrines feel like just puzzles, with no real dungeon.

          It was an awesome formula. I guess the people who invented it died off and the idiots that followed just didn’t understand what made Zelda great to begin with. It’s sad to see
