I got it because duh but I’m not seeing the same joy I had discovering botw. Obviously if you’ve played botw (for the past 5 years) it’s not entirely new. So far, lots of walking and my horse feels useless to cover that distance. Also for an open world they do guide you on where to go pretty strongly. Maybe I got too good at botw but it felt much more organic.

Can you steer the machines you build later on? I see lots of videos of people building weird contraptions and I wanted to make myself a turbine-powered small car to cross the plains more quickly, but having to adjust the direction every time seems like a chore.

Still a very solid game, just not up to botw in my opinion.
