[Insomniacal Fan]

"Breath of the Kingdom", as a composite game, is unbeatable. Combine the joy of exploration and the beautiful desolation of the first game; with the second game's world filled with characters and adventure, and it's perfection.

These games are an example of what's possible when you take systems-driven gameplay (i.e. from the eurojank scene), and hold it to a high standard of production quality and craftsmanship.
