MODERATORS
I've been playing mostly The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I want to do all the 152 shrines before I go back to finish the main story. I'm at 136, so only a few more to go. I've been using the Nintendo Switch App with the navigation to have a look at the map and see where the shrines I'm missing are. They've been mostly inside caves so far.
After I'm done with Zelda, I need to decide if I'm getting Cyberpunk or Donkey Kong as my next big game 🤔
It’s also helpful to complete the underworld, since the overworld shrines will be right above the light roots.
Wow, 136 shrines already done, nice!
How useful is the app?
I vote for DK, since I'll be getting that too. 😀
I mostly use the Navigation feature. You can choose what you want it to display: Shrines, cave entrances, stone tablets, etc. And it shows the ones you haven't discovered, so that's the main thing for me. The feature that tells you where to go like a GPS is not that useful. If there's a cave entrance close to a shrine, it's usually going to be in that cave. It does tell you to go to the cave entrance if you activate it too, in case you're lost.
I'm not 100% convinced with DK. The Direct made it look awesome, but in my mind I'm relating it too much to my experience with Mario Odyssey. That game was ok, but it didn't feel so much like a Mario to me. I prefer 3D Land and 3D World + Bowser's Fury, the Galaxies, and any 2D Mario. It looked really fun, but I didn't have that much fun myself. I've gone back to Wonder and 3D World, but not to Odyssey.
Also Cyberpunk looks amazing and it's a third party full game on the cart, so I want to support them!
I'll need to decide...
Oh, I loved Odyssey, if you didn't enjoy it too much, going with Cyberpunk might be a better option, if you are an RPG fan it seems to be a must play (though I still haven't played it myself, but it's pretty high on my list). You can always come back to DK if you think you'll enjoy it, after seeing the reviews.
