Nintendo Life even complained about the game being too similar to BotW and listed it as a negative point. What the hell? That's good thing, BotW is literally one of the best games ever made. I wish more games copied it.
Sometimes their bias is really annoying.
Yeah it does. Haven't encountered any resolution drop. The game is truly magical.
I feel a lot of people have dinged it because it's like BOTW, which is a bit unfair. The game stands on it's own. For me, it has better combat, no weapon breaks, no rain slip while climbing, a more robust/full environment, and a different presentation (the silly/comical banter)... among other things.
I'm not saying it's a better game than BOTW, but I am saying that currently, I like it more than BOTW. I'll see how I feel once I finish it... which is a ways off given how large the game feels.
