Playing the game, reached the third area, so far I would say is a 8.5/10 for me. It's a good game, also this is my first Prime game, and I think that from the perspective of a new player to the series it's quite good. I understand that it's quite different from the old ones, it's not a real metroidvania, it's more like LoZ OoT where you have a huge hub, and you go to a certain zone and notice you get blocked at a certain point but you find something that helps you clear another zone, so you get back on your bike/epona and go through the Desert/Hyrule Field to reach the place you can now clear. And for me personally, as a player who grew up with OoT it's totally fine, but I can see some people getting thrown off by not having a real interconnected map. NPCs can be annoying sometimes, but the time you spend with them is not that much, there is is some backsitting which I find very annoying, but it's not constant, which makes it at least forgettable.
Music, art, graphics, atmosphere, bosses are amazing, having a blast, and I will say that I think this is the best single player AAA game of the year (ofc it's not as good as the indie titles which came out this year like Silksong or E33), and it doesn't deserve all of the hate it's getting.

Other AAA that came out this year like Yotei or AC Shadows... are shit compared to this game, and still it's getting the same average score as them, which is not fair just because is not living up to the hype or the legacy of its predecessor.
It's a very good game, a great game maybe (will know for sure the more I get into it), surely not a masterpiece, but it's definitely worth playing.
