Not only is tunic beautiful; the experience is amazing. It’s even better if you try to solve the main optional puzzle as you go.
Definitely agree that it’s one of the best.

Some of these depend on dialect - where my family is from, gaunt and aunt rhyme, for example.
Of course, that makes it worse, not better :P
Yeah i think you found the boss on accident if that’s the quest name you were seeing.
But so did I, so this can’t be that uncommon. I question the design of having some mid-game content in the same (surface) place as the end-game because it becomes unclear what you’re being pointed at. Put simply, tell me to walk towards the giant chasm; I’m jumping in.
I realized I wasn’t supposed to be there yet when I recognized a typical pre-boss pattern that Zelda games use a lot. Trying to avoid spoilers there.
Patrick’s parabox?
Shadow of the Colossus and Undertale.
Yeah, these are examples of the bad gameplay patterns I was referring to. One of them in particular (trying to be spoiler-light) provides you a ranged power… But you have to go to melee range to activate it. Whose idea was that?
Casually, I enjoyed it a lot. It felt like better BOTW, with much more new stuff to explore than I expected. My only gripes where the delay on quick menus (botw did not have that, and it feels awful) and I generally think the sage mechanic leads to bad play patterns. But overall, it’s amazing.
I’ve been involved in speedrunning both games. Versioning issues in TOTK are way worse. Movement tech in botw was a lot more interesting and varied, until windbombs were found anyway. The menu lag feels even worse while speedrunning. The stuff we’ve got for inside shrines is pretty cool, and there’s some very cool out-of-bounds stuff found already. So it’ll probably stay fresh for a while. I’m not sure if it’ll hold me for as long as botw did though.
My browser is set to default to French (which I speak / am still learning) and to me it says

so this one is real. A visual distinction could be nice, that might be a decent newcomer contribution to the codebase.
This is one of those “it’s cool!” things that people took way too far
Second Shadow of the Colossus. The moments where you can just sit and look, coupled with the soundtrack, are some of the best in gaming history. Plus that bit of tension knowing what you’re about to get into…
