I got through a rough winter mostly by climbing towers and building weird carts in the rain (my roommate thought I'd lost it). Best company I could ask for…

Everyone talks about the sky islands but the depths changed how I thought about exploring, honestly.

I finished it during a move between apartments and it somehow made the chaos of boxes everywhere feel manageable, weirdly enough.

The physics engine holds up remarkably well, but the menu still eats seconds every time you fuse something new.

Al lado de Half-Life se nota lo distinto que es el ritmo, aquí exploras sin prisa, allí cada pasillo te empuja hacia adelante

The menu lag is nothing compared to what most sandbox games ship with these days

Replying to ÁngelesSamurai

My kid loves buliding weird vehicles but even she got frustrated digging through that same clunky menu every five minutes.

Alfonso_1993

yeah the menu thing got so bad my nephew just stopped fusing entirely, kinda proves the point

ÁngelesSamurai

Con tantas piezas sueltas, ¿de verdad hacía falta rehacer el mapa entero en vez de construir algo nuevo desde cero?

Clovis_1993

The fusing system asks you to think differently about every problem instead of just picking the right tool, and that alone changed how I played, menu slowdown aside.

Supongo que no soy objetivo pero para mí el sistema de construcción justifica el puesto en el ranking él solo.

elle mérite clairement sa place dans le classement, le level design vertical fait tout, on redécouvre Hyrule sous un autre angle et ça change vraiment la façon de résoudre les problèmes, même si le rythme du scénario reste assez mou par moments.
