It's so good (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Hands-On Impressions)

Get up to $40 off Dbrand's legendary Killswitch case for the Switch 2 by visiting https://www.dbrand.com/skillup. Thanks to Dbrand for sponsoring the video. -- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is a stunning technical showcase from Nintendo, delivering a jaw-dropping Hyrule that is not only incredibly detailed, but thoughtfully lit to maximise both immersion and storytelling. Changes to traversal, combat and level layouts are subtle but do result in a game that feels more comfortable to play, without sanding back any of the things that made the original such a masterpiece. Ocarina was always perfect and remains so all these years later, but it seems as though Nintendo has found a few weeks to make it that little bit more perfect. #Preview #Zelda #ocarinaoftime Visit our website https://www.thisweekinvideogames.com for ad-free, ai-free, clickbait-free games coverage.

To learn more about how Nvidia tech delivers the best possible fidelity and performance in games like Control Resonant, click the link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/news/control-resonant-geforce-rtx-50-series-bundle/ -- Control Resonant adopts the structure and aesthetic of a Ubisoft style open world game full of map markers and regional bosses, but whereas in a Ubisoft game the structure is the experience, here the structure is the beginning of a process that is specifically designed to subvert expectations. Rather than dictate the game's ultimate form, the structure is simply a scaffold that exists to let Remedy build other, more interesting things. #Review #RTXon #controlresonant Visit our website https://www.thisweekinvideogames.com for ad-free, ai-free, clickbait-free games coverage.

Thanks to MANSCAPED® for sponsoring today’s video! Get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on The Lawn Mower® Ultra Gen 6 with code “SKILLUP" at https://www.manscaped.com/skillup -- Marvel's Wolverine's uneven story and sub-par combat are not enough to carry the game's 20-ish hour run-time, but it's the obnoxious, hand-holding game design that makes Marvel's Wolverine so objectionable; patronizing the player with constant guidance, pop up reminders, GPS pointers, audio pings and sign-posting. Long after we’ve stopped talking about Wolverine’s pretty visuals and repetitive combat, I think we’ll continue to talk about it as a cautionary tale for AAA game design and the risk of patronizing your audience to the point where they just can’t take it anymore. #Review #Wolverine #PS5 Visit our website https://www.thisweekinvideogames.com for ad-free, ai-free, clickbait-free games coverage.
