If Ursula Le Guin were a gamer today, I don't think she would have liked Tears of the Kingdom. Much like Breath of the Wild, she would criticise its simplistic "good vs evil" narrative and the casualness with which Link massacres Bokoblin camps to fashion their body parts into tools of imperialism. Yes, the game has themes of repair and hope, but only at the expense of a condemnable "other".
J. R. R. Tolkien would dig it. He would write a 6 hour Youtube video about "the races of Hyrule", but he would feel let down upon discovering that the Zonai language is just a hiragana alphabet cypher. He would finish every game review by saying, "it's no 'Heaven's Vault'".
Lovecraft would call Link's new hairstyle "woke pandering".
Would Victor Hugo enjoy Cities Skylines?
What would Agatha Christie think of AI: The Somnium Files?
Who would Oscar Wilde main in Guilty Gear Strive?
We may never know.
