I have to be over 25 hours in at this point and I'm still impressed by this game, in fact the more that clicks with me in the game play and the more I discover, the deeper and more rewarding the experience gets.
Even the cooking, while being kind of fun and little intimidating at first with the freedom you are given, can be a little more intuitive than I first thought since you kind of approach it like you with a real meal (add meat with veggies/fruit, add some spices or other ingredients and it's a new dish) then once I got that dishes only can have one effect at a time and the amount of ingredients increases the effect or hearts, it's pretty easy to grasp. Even making a fire to quickly cook a few raw ingredients while you are out exploring it pretty satisfying. I only wish that with how much it might rain while you are out that there were more caves or places to find covering when I'm out so I can just set up camp and wait out a storm or cook. The main places I've found to do that are Bokoblin camps but those fires are doused when it starts raining.
