Arnette Oconnor asked 1 týždeň ago Shadow of the Colossus may not be a completely open-ended game like BOTW and TOTK , but it does put emphasis on atmosphere and exploration. The game is structured in 16 ordered cycles: in each one, players must locate a particular Colossus, learn its weakness, and defeat it. There’s very little to be found off the beaten path, aside from items to raise max HP and stamina, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to explore. Finding these bosses is easier said than done, and the game provides scant hints as to their location. Getting to them often requires thoughtful navigation around obstacles, or lonely treks through forgotten ru
Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world, exploration-based game similar to BOTW and TOTK , but with a greater focus on combat than any of the games covered in this list so far. Much like the Zelda games, its art style strikes a satisfying balance between stunning landscapes and cartoonish character design. Players can explore its vast, diverse open world by scaling cliffs, riding animals, or soaring through the sky. Secrets, optional puzzles, and platforming challenges are scattered across the map, and players may discover them in any order they wish. Wielding sword, bow, and godly powers, players will face off against monsters of myth, including a snarling Cerberus and towering tit
Naturally, the excitement surrounding TOTK stems in no small part from the smashing success of Breath of the Wild . BOTW innovated on the generations of open-world, action-adventure gameplay that came before it, but also possessed a unique identity, stressing creative locomotion and unbridled exploration, that inspired countless other developers. While there’s no game that’s just like Breath of the Wild , there are many games that make use of similar concepts, mechanics, and aesthetic, each offering a comparable but unique experie
Sable boasts a unique, cel-shaded artstyle that’s entirely unlike BOTW ‚s and TOTK ‚s, but is beautiful just the same. The ancient ruins and megafauna skeletons dotted around the map lend it an awe-inspiring sense of scale, tempered with a feeling of quiet melancholy. In conjunction with the mellow, ambient soundtrack composed by indie pop musician Japanese Breakfast, Sable creates an evocative, memorable experience on PC, Xbox, and
Meanwhile, Link faces the difficult task of freeing the Divine Beasts , aided in entering each by an invaluable ally and guided within by the spirit of the fallen Champion. Each Divine Beast is plagued by a Blight, a manifestation of Calamity Ganon specialized in tactics that allowed them to defeat their opposing Champion. By defeating these Blights, the spirits of the Champions are able to reassert control of their Divine Beasts, subsequently readying them to fire upon Calamity Ganon in the upcoming battle. They also grant Link a unique power that they wielded in life to aid him on his qu
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ is still a ways off, but there are plenty of games similar to its predecessor, _Breath of the Wild , worth digging into in the meantime. Expanding on the much-loved formula of BOTW has already made TOTK one of the most anticipated games of the year. The sequel promises to incorporate new, inventive mechanics, while also improving on less popular aspects of the old ones. TOTK ‚s __ Ascend ability can fix BOTW ‚s climbing mechanic, while the Ultrahand ability allows for zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.Com creative building to get around obstac
If Tears of the Kingdom has ships sailing around, then it’s not out of the realm of possibility to think that Hyrule could be flooded during the events of TOTK . There are already floating islands, and it’s possible that they could end up being an escape from the waters down below. Tears of the Kingdom may not be dark compared to other Zelda games, after all, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t see Hyrule experiencing another great turm
To no surprise, Link returns as the protagonist and main playable character of Tears of the Kingdom , and while his combat and exploration mechanics remain similar to BOTW , TOTK also gives Link plenty of new abilities , seemingly courtesy of his new mechanical arm. Expanding on Link’s climbing and gliding, Tears of the Kingdom will give him the ability to fuse objects together to craft new weapons, arrows, shields, and even entire vehicles for traversing through water or air, perfectly suiting the game’s floating sky islands and greatly expanding the options for both exploration and combat. Moreover, unlike in BOTW , Link seems to get to keep his memories this time aro
While the Cobble Crusher (and its upgraded variation, the Boulder Breaker) are pretty solid for combat, its primary purpose is usually destroying boulders and other large objects. To make this handy weapon more viable for regular use, combine it with the Great Frostblade. This large, frigid sword should improve the Cobble Crusher’s attack power while also embedding it with ice abilities, making it even more useful in the Death Mountain reg
