I'd say it was more of Wii U test drive/Wii U limit-pusher, since it was WiiU-exclusive for 70% of its development. I liked the hell out of BOTW, my issue more lies in the fact that they're comparing two radically different open world games in this case. One is all about you, alone in a world full of monsters, desperately trying to get back to the remnants of civilization, one is about an ensemble of criminals trying to steer clear of the law by hiding out in various parts of the American west/south, one mainly features old west gunslinging (which makes his complaint about the overabundance of gunning all the stupider), one is mainly hand to hand combat and arrows, the list goes on.
