Almost a decade ago, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild set a new standard for the open-world genre. Before its release, the novelty of vast open worlds had already worn off, as gamers began to realize that it took more than square miles to make a worthwhile open-world game. When Breath of the Wild entered the picture, however, it proved that open worlds could thrive on curiosity and the thrill of discovery rather than simply being host to a massive checklist of activities. Since then, many games have attempted to capture the same magic and even improve on the formula, while others—like Finale Games’ open-world RPG Myths of Gallantium—are not ashamed to openly cite Breath of the Wild as one of their inspirations. Unfortunately, despite Myths of Gallantium still having a Steam page, the likelihood of it ever becoming a playable reality is slim, and that’s a real shame.
