I enjoyed botw and totk, so you might also enjoy Enshrouded. Open world, lots of craft ability, base building and combat is fun and challenging. It’s a little less cartoony than Zelda but definitely not as intense as Elden Ring. They are still in early access but the next big update should be 1.0.

It’s a toe-aphone.

I thought it was just me. I get singularly focused on a game and it’s world and once I finish it, happy ending or otherwise, it’s the death of that world. I always finish a game though.
