Yeha, those games are kinda like a choreography, you're not totally free to do whatever you want. You're very restricted in what you can do and usually you have 1 or 2 options when you need to react.

Based on your input, you should give Breath of the Wild a try. It's a game in which creativity is the only limit. I didn't enjoy it that much because the combat is too easy, but then I saw what people can do when they get creative. It's really insane. I completed the game playing like a noob, never expected those things to be remotely possible, because nobody tells you what to do. Nobody tells you "here's how you do this insane combo". People just piece the mechanics together. I guess that's the beauty of Nintendo in general

Lol, that was actually pretty coherent.

Heh, I feel like I'd only have a chanceto try BotW if it gets pirates since I don't have Nintendo consoles at hand, but it really sounds like something I'd adore.

Offtop, but how do you see Shadow of the Colossus? For me it felt like the sweet spot between being challenging and annoying. Maybe thanks for it just being that weird you are out of your comfort zone by default.
