Both really.
Did you plan on not getting it right from the beginning or only after reading my comment? :D
Well I’m definitely not getting it.
I love sandbox games though. And EarthBound if that means anything.
It’s simply gorgeous. Riding around the beautifully designed and quite diverse landscape on your trusty horse rarely felt so good, and the mare has way more of her own will than for example Epona. The Colossi are, well… absolutely colossal, each one having their own abilities and each one playing differently, since climbing a single colossus is basically a level on its own.
The game has rather minimalistic gameplay, but that is so well refined and there is so much to get out of it, that some games with bad-ass combos and a more diverse range of weapons could only wish to be more like it.
The music is incredibly good, actually melodic and well composed orchestral pieces which I would have never expected to be written by an Asian composer, tbh.
Last but not least, the story is one that is told through gameplay, and it is truly heart-warming and compelling, yet leaving much room for your own interpretations along the way. Just imagine, there are but a few of these giant kind of ancient living beings all across the land, forming basically every life you will encounter during your whole game, aside from your horse and a few salamanders, and you just kill them for seemingly no reason. It does a really good job making you feel bad about killing them without even saying a word about it to the player. But at the same time, you feel like pure ecstasy when finally defeating one of them. A truly good game, but clearly not for those who want constant button mashing, everything explained to them and enemies around every corner, because there are times where you may ride for about 20/30 minutes to find the next colossus.
TL;DR: Go get it and find out :)
How so?
Because it is.
