I loved both. I think BotW is the greatest open world for immersion and gameplay. It only lacks in the story department and the ending is weak. I think it’s a great game but I wouldn’t want every open world game to copy it. Like I’m playing and really enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 right now and it isn’t doing anything really that’s been inspired by BotW. It has more in common with Bethesda games and Farcry.

BotW manages to always be fun and interesting to explore. A quality worth taking inspiration from for sure. Getting around the map in games like Assassins Creed often feels like a chore.
