[@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.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Immortals is definately up there as one of my favorite games of 2020. I think its bad to ditch a game just because it resembles another game off the bat. The majority of games in the world is pretty much a blatant copy of another, but with new ideas, a new world and mechanics. Thats how genres improves, and you can say a lot about Ubisoft but they are amazing at creating stunning worlds. Sure, I dont have any BOTW experience, but I dont think the puzzles in Immortals are so bad and generic as this video mentions. I actually came across some pretty cool brain twisters on my playthrough. But yeah, amazing game that I highly recommend.

A huge map full of everything, only to repeat the same two things over and over, with the only motivating part being slightly better gear, and maybe a meaningless level up. Its what ubisoft has become and is now known for: gameplay revolving on the tiniest carrot on the stick.

I would say the exact opposite. This one actually looks good, and I am very interested in it, but their other games are constantly getting worse. Far Cry games have gotten less interesting, Watch Dogs Legions is not as fun as 2. The AC games were progressively getting worse, then they rebooted them into RPGs, which was fun, but not very AC. Even that is already feeling stale in the third entry of the RPG phase. This does look great though, and I am excited for the Snowboarding/biking game that is coming out soon.

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.
