I've noticed that, but I don't understand it in a "critics consensus" way, which is what makes games like MGSV or BotW stand out as extremely overrated to me, considering they play similarly to Assassin's Creed 2 and later games in that franchise, yet stuff like that, or Far Cry 3 are adequately rated at like 8/10 on average, and I agree with that rating. And I would similarly place BotW/TotK at an 8/10 for the same reasons. because to me they don't outperform the "norm" of these types of normie-games. Sure, you can climb anything, and the games have a more "special feeling" in their opening. But that's literally it. You keep playing and it just has such a "status quo" feeling the more hours you sink into it, exactly how Assassin's Creed becomes downright mediocre by the time you're halfway done as the map fills up with menial boilerplate design.
Why is BotW/TotK not given a bump down in its score for the same reason? Its content is exactly as low-effort and has the depth of a puddle while being wide as an ocean, but "Because it's ZELDA" or "Because it's NINTENDO" the hype takes over and people get delusional about it.
If all we're looking at is an officially Nintendo Branded alternative to Ubisoft shit, what's honestly that great about it? Brand recognition? That's all I get from these normie-admissions anyway.
