Read MoreDrifting Lands is a unique mix that would incite the hardcore and those that are fans of the action RPG and Shoot'em'up genres. You will find plenty of challenges in what Alkemi has created. Diversity in enemy patterns are plenty, but repetitiveness can be found elsewhere.
Read MoreIn a nod to the very first Legend of Zelda, Nintendo ended up ditching the more linear, dungeon-focused formula of its previous 3D Zelda entries to prioritize a more Western “go anywhere, do anything” philosophy, which could easily have resulted in a Twilight Princess situation of too much empty space, but instead, through some miracle of game design, this radical change birthed one of the most high-quality virtual worlds I've ever experienced.
