I’m looking for any games on PC (preferably Steam) that plays like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Mainly, I’m looking for large, open-world games, with lots of things to do, with an over-arching narrative/destination available. Think Minecraft, with but an actual definitive objective to complete.

I’m aware of Fromsoft’s work (Elden Ring), but I’m looking for non-soulslike games.

      I came here to say Pine, but also to say Pine isn’t very good. I played 5 hours, and it just was not that good.

        The reviews are mostly positive, do you want to expand on why you didn’t enjoy it? Is it a poorly made game, or is it just not a game genre you don’t like? Poor art, slow controls, or a boring story?

          Wait wait, I remember. It was a combination of the load screens and the combat. Combat felt unfair. I even looked up guides. And every time you died… Load screen. Very long load screen. I even tried turning down graphics to a minimum to improve load times. Didn’t help much.

          It’s been years. I remember playing it after BoTW and hoping it would be similar, but just being very disappointed about everything. It felt clunky. The visuals are noticably worse, but that didn’t really bother me. I don’t remember why, but I think the sticking point was the combat. Ultimately I didn’t care enough about it at the time to even give a proper review, I just gave it a thumbs down on steam.
