Huh, nobody's beat anything since May 10, I wonder why that might be... Anyway, I just beat The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Holy shit this game is good. I think it's even better than Breath of the Wild, though its similar enough that it doesn't feel as special as that game did when it launched. I was a little off-put when I first started by how similar it was, because the beginning feels very much like a re-tread of Breath of the Wild, but about 15-20 hours in it really comes into its own. The new powers really give you a lot of freedom about how to approach situations, and even the shrines feel better in this one. I'm still a little disappointed with the state of the dungeons, they're a little better than the divine beasts, but not a ton better, though I did appreciate there being more lead-up to them than there was in Breath of the Wild. I'm sure with how wildly successful this game has been that we'll be getting Zelda games in this basic formula for a long time, but I at least hope they keep moving more towards a classic design for the dungeons themselves. This went a little in that direction, but they need to go more. Overall though, that's really a minor nit-pick, and easily overcome by how great the rest of the game is. Grade: A+
