Would make 12 hour flights a breeze. Don't you have a laptop? That game is so lightweight, it doesn't drain the battery more than just having the browser open. | ||

Loved the expansive world. Loved exploring it too, which made me feel better about the fact that I'm used to games that are more linear instead of open world/ sandbox-y. Amazing graphics, cinematics, dialogue, and characters. Highly, highly recommend the game. It was especially cathartic for my love of Ocarina of Time. The only two drawbacks I can see- at this point in time, having defeated Ganon: 1. I'm not sure how incentivized I am to complete the game 100%, because there don't seem to be any post-game rewards or unlocks. (Super Mario Odyssey had a ton of great incentives and benchmarks to continue the game through completion, but I don't see many additional in-game rewards I could obtain in BotW.) 2. The battles were surprisingly easy, especially Ganon. All the boss battles were letdowns. I definitely agree about all of the boss battles being pretty easy. the divine beasts are cool 'temples' but I definitely would have liked to see more expansive temples like them. great game though besides those two things. I've been slowly plugging away and trying to complete as many side quests as possible in between MK8 and Mario Tennis. | ||

Although I loved SMO and BotW, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a huge disappointment for me, so now I'm moving on to Splatoon. | ||

The thing about that kind of game is that it lives and dies by level design. The actual gameplay systems of Advance Wars are incredibly simple and straightforward, but that's not what actually makes it *good*. A game that attempts to capture what made Advance Wars great isn't going to do it just by copying the look, feel, and core gameplay formula. The level design is what makes or breaks the game, and that's not something you expect a developer to figure out overnight or get right on their first try. Intelligent Systems made more than a decade worth of Fire Emblem and Wars games before they made Advance Wars, and the NES iterations of both had a lot of growing pains they had to go through before they kind of had an idea what they were doing toward the end of the SNES's lifecycle. Chucklefish isn't just going to copy that and get it right on the first try. Things like enemy placement, objectives that encourage proactive play, or proper use of terrain for both functional and aesthetic appeal are very non-straightforward design elements that are incredibly difficult to do well. Tactics games are like 2d platformers. There are an uncountable number of Mario and Megaman clones on the NES and SNES, but what made the originals good isn't unique mechanics or special core gameplay elements, it's level design. | ||
