I’m curious about what parts they think are original. Don’t get me wrong, BOTW is fun (because Far Cry, AC etc and wacky physics are fun) and TOTK is fun (because building stuff with wacky physics is fun) but it’s hardly groundbreaking.
“Originality” in games is weird anyway, most thinkable ideas have already been thought of, and many of them will be associated with particular titles/series or entire genres at a time.
To me BotW was a more fleshed out copy of the 2013 game Cube World. Then the building with ToTK could be seen as a copy of GMOD or even kerbal space program if you squint a bit.
This doesn’t make the game any worse though. If anything it makes me more likely to try it because I played similar games and enjoyed them.
