Can't believe we don't have a thread about this one yet. Fantasia, did you play it?
I've been wanting to since last May, when it came out, since I loved Breath of the Wild so much, but it ran like crap on the emulators I tried (yeah, I am still not willing to get a Switch for just 1 or 2 games I would play on it, why won't Nintendo port these to PC and take my money, dammit!). Managed to get it running at decent FPS now, a year later on Ryujinx emulator, runs around 28-30FPS at most times, and as an added benefit, I get to use keyboard and mouse controls (using a third party software called mouse2joystick, I used the same for Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 1).
The game is absolutely gorgeous, just like BotW, the only issue I've had is camera sensitivity, but apparently everyone has had it, including people playing on Switch. Normal sensitivity is like moving the camera in molasses, tires my wrist out from constantly having to move the mouse around, but if I increase it to High/Very High, moving the camera feels really jerky, it's hard to focus on stuff, and I am getting nausea from the visual jumps. Between the two evils, settled for the normal setting for now.
But the game itself is so much fun! It's very similar to Breath of the Wild in terms of graphics, basic mechanics, setting, etc, but they also added new stuff. My favorite so far is the ultrahand mechanic, where you can pick stuff up, rotate it, attach and combine it to other stuff, and create pretty much anything to overcome world obstacles. Like chopping down trees, attaching logs into a platform, and then attaching a sail to make a boat, or a hook to make a sliding rail car. Ran across an exhausted korok on the starter sky island, and used that to get him across to his buddy.
