There's a reviews megathread on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5x2lph/the_legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild_review/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5x2lph/the_legend_of... Many, many perfect scores. Even acounting for hype, it's doing surprisingly well. Having watched about 6 hours of gameplay so far, I'm on the fence about how deserved that is. It seems like such a huge game that it won't be possible to judge it fairly without playing at least 40 hours, probably more. It's clearly an exceptionally good game, but whether it is truly a masterpiece remains to be seen.

Many reviewers have had the game for over a week at this point so they may well be 40 hours into the game.

  If you read the reviews, it's clear that some are. Others probably are not. My point is more that I personally don't feel like I can make a judgement yet based on what I've seen/read and I've been following this game pretty closely.

  >this is a rather absurd statement For something like a buy/skip recommendation, sure. But open-world systems-based games take a lot of time to dig into. Like if you asked me if Skyrim was an above average game in the first few hours, I'd say 'sure' but as time went on the broken systems kept becoming more and more obvious and painful. My opinion turned to 'just average' after 30 hours or so.

> Even acounting for hype Impossible. Dragon Age: Inquisition was universally praised in its first couple weeks, but if you ask the same people now? Meh. It's remarkable how many games look very different with the perspective of a month or two.
