It makes sense, I guess, given that the Legend of Zelda games Breath of the Wild and now Tears of the Kingdom are things that exist, but I know that I've seen at least three or four games that look suspiciously similar show up in my Steam discovery queue over the past few months or so, and now there's this thing as mentioned on PC Gamer there. I mean, sure they look interesting, especially given that I haven't actually played either BotW or TotK myself (due to not owning a Switch), but it's still just yet another case of the interminable copycat/bandwagon cycle in action.
Speaking of PC Gamer (and other similar video game journalism websites), I'm getting kind of tired of this recent trend of not mentioning the game they're talking about by name in the headline of the article about it. In the above case, at the very least, they manage to give the name in the deck/drop head (i.e. that sub-headline under the byline that I had to look up the name[s] for on Google while writing this post), but in some cases it'll be a paragraph or two or three into the article itself before they ever deign to actually give the name of the game they're discussing, which I find to be rather asinine and aggravating. It's just a new breed of clickbait, as far as I'm concerned.
