recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
These were my impressions as well. I forced myself to finish the first palace(?) but it just felt so tedious. And when after like 15 hours they introduce yet another facet of gameplay and throw another tutorial at you it really does interrupt and sense of immersion for me. Only being able to do like 3 or 4 things a day felt kind of silly as well. I wanted to explore some of the characters more but having to go to sleep and sit through some random stuff in between anything actually interesting was just exhausting.
