Here are my initial thoughts:
The gameplay and other shit was good. I liked the new abilities link had, and I didn’t think I’d use ascend more than I thought. The game really forced you to be creative and manage how you use fuse and rewind. Though speaking of rewind, it’s by far the most unused ability I had. Aside from a couple puzzles and boss fights I had to use it for. I really didn’t have a reason to actually use it. I liked a lot of the boss fights, Queen gibdo was the most interesting, muck torok is just an annoying ass bitch, the other two regional bosses like colgera and marbled gohma were pretty simple and easy. I get you’re supposed to use the sage ability to fight them, But for both muck torok and colgera, I didn’t use the sage abilities once. And the final boss, this dude, is sick as hell. The fake final boss really got me (even though it might not even be a fake out in the first place). Glooms approach is a great final trial for the boss, the overall presentation and build up is amazing. And then the dude, the demon king. Setting aside the fact he’s hot, his fight is pretty unique (but the gall on him to break my hylian shield. THE ABSOLUTE GALL-) it was pretty fun having to flurry rush him flurry rushing you. The second phase after seeing his health bar, I thought I wasn’t just going to fight him with that much health, but then I did fight him. And he can take away full hearts?!?! Not the broken hearts you need to recover through sundelion dishes, just straight up full ass hearts. Then the demon dragon… for pros, it looks good and it’s a little hard dodging the fireballs. For cons, it’s literally dark beast ganon, but harder, and you can take damage from the attacks.
The story of the game is much more in depth than botw. Instead of waking up and then you have to now save everyone, it’s you search beneath the castle, find the antagonist, get your arm replaced once you wake up, fall from the sky, meet the cool lookin king, go to a temple, fall from the sky again and then you have to save everyone. See? Much more in depth.
For biomes and such? Idk, the depths was pretty cool, I wish there was more to do in the sky islands other than the crystals, give the other regions of the depths more uniqueness, cuz eldin’s the only region that’s remotely unique with the lava.
That’s about all I have to say. I’ll try not to ramble so long in future posts. Anyway see ya.
