Been 2 weeks so I don't ilknow if you probably bought it or didn't but I'd say it's slightly too complicated for a 5 year old. But that depends on how smart she/he is lol.

[@aidanwright3037]

I played both breath of the wild and this game, and the thing that really makes me prefer this game over botw is its equipment and ability system. Every piece of equipment you find in the world is unique, and the ability to change the appearance of your equipment without changing their abilities is amazing.

[@oldspice051]

See, for me, I think BoTW is a little better because of the atmosphere. I love that it feels like a lived-in world, and there’s plenty of likable characters spread though out the towns and stables. That being said, I’m a absolutely loving Fenyx. The character herself is really endearing to me, and I think some of the game’s aspects like the combat and traversal are better than BoTW.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

I played this game for several hours. It truly makes me sad that the comparison with Breath of the Wild exists. Because BOTW is the BEST game in terms of sound and atmosphere.

I would say it incorporates the vaults into the game better than Zelda's shrines because they contribute to the story of the game. The narrations make the vaults less boring too, and some of the vaults require certain abilities. Overall it is a well-rounded game for certain.

[@Kineticboy2K1]

I looked up "funnest" because it seemed weird and I found that while "fun" is often just "more/most fun" as an adjective describing how much fun something is compared to other things, it can have what are called 'superlative' forms. For example the superlative form of "pretty" is "prettier" or "prettiest" (depending on how many others are pretty, with "prettiest" meaning you are describing it/them as "the most pretty of all") so with "fun" even though "more/most fun" is more common, technically "funner/funnest" is still correct (despite spellcheck yelling at me). I always heard that you generally look at syllable amount to determine which is more accurate, like "beautiful" being "more/most beautiful" rather than "beautifuller/beautifullest" compared to "dry" with "more/most dry" vs "dryer/dryest," but it's clear (like with most of English) that there's always room to experiment and no one way of speaking is ever objectively 'correct.'

Love your channel and had to come to the comments about this game. You’re spot on with your review to buy. I was raised on Zelda. Ocarina defined my middle school years. This has major breath vibes but what makes me forever love this game is that it’s the first one my 4 y.o. daughter picked up and she’s blown away. She grabs me every so often to help her with the “tough” guys and her jaw drops when I blow them away. The colors and the flying along with climbing gets her so excited and I have to praise this game. It gets me excited. This is a parenting nirvana seeing my kid vibe hard on a game where I’ve been a gamer since 1989. I always wondered if she’d like gaming and now she’s all in because of this one. We even started a Twitch to record and talk with others (managed 100% by me obviously). This is not my fav game but it’s our fav game and that makes it so much better.

If you take Breathe of the Wild, a bit of the Jak and Daxter spirit thrown in, and then add Greek mythology you have yourself this game. Fun is exactly what this game is. The map is not bloated whatsoever, all areas (so far) have their own feel and sort of thematic elements. I've heard it isn't a very long game, clocking in at about 20 to 30 hours but that is almost a breathe of fresh air nowadays. It knows how to make its stay effective without getting boring and when you start to wonder what more to do in a given area, you are then already heading off to another new area. That is smart. This is most definitely this years hidden gem and it is well worth it.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

I loved the "show and don't tell" approach to BOTW's story. The lack of structure is a huge win for BOTW, since most adventure games kinda feel linear because of the obvious story path. In BOTW, you just take your time and witness stuff as they happen. HOWEVER, the shrines in BOTW kinda made the game super repetitive and could make people lose interest. Ditto with resource-collecting in BOTW.

[@damonalfero3125]

I've been playing it a little and I really love it. I only have one gripe and that's the fact that when fast traveling or exiting from a pit and you get the black loading screen where it is autosaving. I keep getting an issue where it keeps on that screen forever and never changes. I have to close out the game and reload it to get it to work. Other than that it's a very enjoyable game and I'm having a LOT of fun finding new ways to defeat enemies. Like when a cyclops throws a rock at you you can catch it midair and throw it back causing a lot of damage. It's really a great game. Just wish the autosave loading screen wasn't so buggy and crashing my game.

When I played BotW I immediately didn’t like it, but with Fenyx it’s completely different. Even though they’re very similar I love that the game is very lighthearted and being interested in Greek mythology the narration and characters involved are fun to listen to, especially Zeus and Prometheus constant narration. Everyone got a little sass and they implemented it pretty well into the game, telling stories of actual Greek mythology. This game might even get me into BotW again, but it ticks a bunch of different boxes and is a game right up my alley. I was actually surprised that I really like it, as I knew the mechanics would be extremely similar to BotW.

[@TheDaxter11]

One tiny, insignificant detail I loved seeing in this video was your helmet vanishing when going into a cutscene. Unrelated, but I REALLY wish they did that for Final Fantasy 14. I love wearing helmets, but I wish there was an option to have cutscenes hide them so I can see my characters face. Because of this I never tend to wear full head and face covering helmets when I'm doing story stuff, or I'll just straight up hide them.

Very good game, a great one to follow up BOTW with.

I just finished the game. It's really gorgeous and fun. I agree with almost everything said here. I disagree with the 25-30 hours estimation though, I am 867 hours in and there is still plenty to do. If you're playing the main quest only then maybe, yes. But that would be really cutting the game short. And by the way, this is just the core game I'm talking about, not with DLCs. I'd really recommend you pick this up if you're a fan of Greek mythology, Action RPGs/Adventure games, or both.
