Breath of the Wild.
Fired it up for the first time in almost a year. I was in the middle of the lightning elder beast. Fuck that temple, or maybe it was just because I didn't remember where I was from the old save file, but it reminded me of the PITA Water Temple from Zelda 64. I don't even remember what made the water temple terrible..... maybe I'm misremembering.
Anyway, forgot how simply amazing this game is, just at a practical gameplay level. The survival mechanisms, the fact that "oh dry grass catches fire fast AF" and other little environmental details are just too damn fun.
Finally have the master sword, that narrative was very cool. I saw they are releasing BOTW 2, so I gotta finish this amazingly awesome game.
I dunno what it is about Nintendo, but their flagship games, namely Zelda, always have a "different intangible" that I cannot put my finger on.
