The biggest problem with BotW for me is the lack of narrative as well as being a very unrewarding game. You'll do a lot of small puzzle solving in which in the end rewards you with a weapon that will eventually break or korok seed/ or the thing you collect for hp/stamina upgrade. I'm a huge fan of classic Zelda formula though so the removal of huge, intricate dungeon didn't help.
You are not alone but you every time you voice your opinion to say you didn't like it or enjoy it as much as the rest, a bunch of people jump at you claiming it redefined RPGs and it's the best game of all time and so on and so on. It's tiring.
That's why we read the reviews. And different sites use their scales differently.
I often see more posts where some people, who really hold a strange grudge against the game, make sure to slam it every chance they get, even in threads that have nothing to do with the game, rather than people going around talking about it being amazing every couple of seconds. There's a few posters even in this thread and on this exact page who do exactly that. The game truly does live rent free inside of many whom hate it
I mean a lot of the complaints are about how the narrative bolsters far right Japanese nationalism so not really.
Yeah, just like they did with Sekiro, and Nioh... Oh wait
I mean, they gave a JoJo fighting game a perfect score too, haha.
Do you realize how many Japanese-centric video games don't actually have a perfect score?
It's most likely that the 4 random (?) reviewers liked the game, isn't that how Famitsu reviews? They pick random reviewers right?
EDGE only gave out about as many (10/10) in its 25+ years. Last game they did that was Dreams getting a 10 out of 10. Dreams didn't grab me but there's no denying that it's an incredible achievement. Making a very accessible game creation too that allows for such a diversity of genres must have been incredibly difficult.
