The Tuesday letters page is unhappy about Bend Studio making a live service game, as one reader is concerned about the Zelda movie.

Gaming seems to be in a bad spot at the moment To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Death and rebirthI suppose it’s nothing surprising to read that publishers’ answer to the current problems in gaming is to retreat back to sequels and familiar IP but it’s still depressing to read about it.

I think a lot of that has to be assigned to the design decisions in the game, which really help you get lost in the world: the lack of fast travel making each journey feel meaningful and ‘real’, stocking up on camping kit and supplies for the adventure ahead, and your pawns learning and helping you through the environment. And maybe controversially; I even like the one save character rule.
