Gliding or climbing is only a good mechanic when there's a worthwile destination to travel to. I absolutely hated the dull sailing that permeated Wind Waker, but at least when the sailing was done, I had an extremely interesting and vibrant location to explore. BOTW did not do that for me. It's filled with...nothingness. Empty terrains with sporadic enemy encounters, sporadic pointless treasures, and my weapon breaking in the interim. Almost forgot to mention - the score for the game sucks. The whole "ambiance" angle they went for literally puts me to sleep. It's nothing like the energy-filled songs that would play during MM/OOT/WW and would just encourage you to keep going. BOTW is the video game equivalent of Nyquil.

I played Witcher 2 years ago, but from what I remember, there were parts of the game that felt tedious and dull. I never really got that feeling with Witcher 3. The story is better than 2, the combat is deeper, the open-world is excellent and incredibly rich and the characters are detailed and believable enough for you to feel attached to them. I think it's at least worth a try, considering how cheaply you can have it for these days.
