I started my year by finishing TLoZ: Echoes of Wisdom. It is a lovely take and a fascinating idea to bring the titular character from the series to star in her own game, despite some shortcomings. Here are my thoughts on it, and why I give it a 7/10 🧵

Summoning the echoes you learn during the journey allows you to have endless possibilities, and the systems interact in simple but intuitive ways. A fire creature will set the grass on fire, and a block of water will drown a creature you drag into.

This, however, makes you super OP as soon as you start to get heavy hitters, and the combat quickly becomes a bit dull as you're just watching your summons kick other creatures' butts as you wait, or help them by using the dragging ability.

And you do get heavy hitters early on, so you start the journey almost overpowered immediately. Immediately you get a bunch of echoes that easily mow down the regular mobs and you're just breezing through the game.
