Very insightful, really enjoyed this! Did you ever play/write about Breath of the Wild? Would be curious to hear your thoughts comparing/contrasting them as open world/exploration games.

Deeply embarrassing, just now getting to that part of the piece. Totally on board with your thoughts on how effortless and natural exploration is in BotW.
