That doesn’t mean using it is always fun. No body is arguing that motion controls haven’t improved since the original Wii. The ball drops and it’s a “simple” matter to tap it over the final gap onto the ramp where it will reach the goal. The famous solution to this was to just flip the entire board over. It’s like the old wooden game Labyrinth, in that there are multiple pitfalls to drop the sphere into oblivion, requiring a fresh start. The player must roll a ball through a maze by tilting the entire maze. Then there are the motion controlled ones.īy now, there is one in particular that is infamous.
Some are less interesting combat challenges that at least can be cleared quickly.

Most often, these shrines yield a short series of puzzles of varying difficulty to solve using powers earned early in the game. Watching as Link descends the elevator always gives a sense of anticipation as visions of power equipment, such as another piece of climbing gear, dance through the head. Finding one, and delving into the depths is always a minor event. Link needs more power, power that can be found in completing the 120 puzzle shrines that dot the landscape like flecks of gold in a Goldschlager pancake. Taking Link across the sand blasted plains, ruinous valleys, and snow covered mountain peaks can lead the player into many challenging situations. After all, what better way to honor such a well put together title by covering it in muck? It’s not like there aren’t any issues.
Sensing an opportunity to solve two problems at once, it seemed time to kvetch about the less than stellar aspects of Nintendo’s masterpiece. When considering this predicament, I noticed that the deadline for the Fatal Flaws column was coming up like a Lynel on PCP. Most anything I can contribute would no longer have relevance, having already been covered by other writers better than I. The problem is that it’s already a four month old game. Through a series of misadventures and bad luck, I’ve only recently been able to dive into this fresh take on Hyrule and dearly want to write about it. In a year that includes Persona 5, the next mainline entry in the series following my all time favorite game, Persona 4, I find myself in shock that BotW is likely to beat it out on my personal game of the year list.
For the astute, or at least those that read the title of this very piece before clicking on the link, it’s obvious that we’re talking about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
While this is a year that is already been loaded down with high quality titles, there is one that manages to hold sway at the forefront of gamer’s minds. Fatal Flaws examines these scars that are left on games, whether they are a mere blemish that holds a game back from perfection or something major that comes close to ruining an otherwise quality game. Some aspect of their design leaves a stain on the experience, forcing the player to question what in the world were the developers thinking.

There have been many good games that have been held back from achieving their full potential for greatness.
