Title. If not what games are almost direct BotW replacements
Idk if I’d call it a replacement per se but elden ring is an excellent large open world game with some really good variety of weapons / spells to play with. It also rewards exploration really well with secret loot and even entire secret areas
No.
Play Death Stranding instead, it’s closer to the exploration/traversal aspect of BotW at least.
That’s a wild recommendation.
I never bothered to get past the first real mission, so I don’t know how true it is. It’s a goddamn slog playing the game.I’m not gonna downvote Death Stranding, but it’s not much like Zelda BOTW at all. DS is the best “strand type” video game around. Breath of the Wild is an awesome Zelda RPG-lite with a vast open world and tons of stuff to do. Elden Ring is the best RPG like and Souls-like game of all time to present day.
For me at least, BotW was more about the movement and traversal problem solving than anything else. Of course it has action elements and it’s super different to DS in many ways, but the pathfinding part tickles the same part of my brain in both games, idk.
I think Elden Ring is way different because it’s an action game, where the fights take center stage, and not so much the movement mechanics (although the exploration is great in its own way).
Yeah that’s a good point. Tears of the Kingdom takes all that and dials it up to 11 with the flying and vehicles
Depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a game exactly like BotW than no, Elden Ring is harder and has a lot more complex mechanics.
If you’re asking because you can only play one then Elden Ring is better and it’s not even close. With that said it is not meant for casual play, if you don’t like losing do not play it. Dying is a core mechanic of the game.
Elden Ring is vastly superior IMO. I found there was less empty space compared to BotW, and far better combat mechanics.
No. It’s a different game.
(But seriously, what are you asking here? Is it for the same audience? Is it similar enough that if you like one you’ll like the other? Are the gameplay mechanics similar? Your question is not specific enough.)
Lil Gator Game is a charming, somewhat smaller game with very similar gameplay to BotW.
