The people who liked BotW the most are likely people who never really played many open world games, or none. To long time PC gamers it's nothing new of course.
I liked the style, I generally enjoy world exploration and that was fun in BotW, and there were many cool experiences scattered around, but it does end up feeling a little empty.
I still played it a ton mind you, but I don't consider it an important or ground breaking game the way many seem to.
- djur 3y agoI have played plenty of PC open world games and I think BOTW is better than any of them.
- afterburner 3y agoI think it's done fairly well, but the novelty isn't there for an older PC gamer. I have heard plenty of people talk about how new the open world is to them in BotW (in a way that clearly suggests they've never tried it before). The novelty factor of any (to the user) new game genre amplifies the positive reaction.
- djur 3y agoI don't know any prior open-world game that makes the physical exploration of the landscape feel as natural and enjoyable as BOTW. That felt like a new experience to me. The closest I could identify would be Just Cause 2, but movement on the ground in that game feels much more clunky. There's certainly an aesthetic aspect to it as well.
