tbf i do think they aimed to score it low, the gbatemp logo is a bit like sonic in a whirlwind so they have to be edgy I guess, but idk, going out of your way to pick holes in stuff just to be different from everyone else seems a bit crappy and imho damages gbatemps ability to objectively review stuff
I'm not saying they cant give it 7.0 and maybe they are right, but the excuses were a bit clutchy like someone reviewing their enemies cooking abilities....ohhh well you put too much pasta on my plate
again don't get me wrong some points were perfectly valid, I also was like "HUH WTF" with the master sword being breakable and weapons breaking, I literally had to resort to throwing swords and sticks at the windblight ganon as I ran out of arrows
, there was certain aspects missing and some stuff was poorly executed, but again I got the impression the goal was to score it low rather than play and then decide
as a old timey Zelda fan I would have been somewhere arounf 7-8/10, but as I have expressed elsewhere I like more linear challenging dungeons, the dungeons on Botw would have been the biggest let down for me which is where it would have lost a big chunk o' score for me personally
