The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
An hour in, hard-to-please players like myself will be a little underwhelmed, but things quickly pick up in the second hour.
By hour five, you’ll know you’re playing something special.
By hour seven, you’ll know you’re playing one of the best Zeldas of all time.
By hour 10, you’ll know you’re playing the best Zelda ever.
By hour 25, not only will you still be glued to your controller, you’ll start wondering if this is the greatest single player game you’ve ever played.
The antagonist is lame — I’ll say that — but the journey, surprise, adventure, exploration, hostile encounters, score, and upgrades to get him are pure gaming bliss.
Enjoy it, Infendo Nation. This is a masterpiece of adventure.
