I am leaning towards move of a open world Zelda game, puzzles being a big part of the game. Being either a wit of battle or a wit of opening that door. I want each part to feel tough when fighting enemies, figuring out the quest, to creating your equipment. But, once you have finished something you feel like you accomplished something big. So, for each thing completed I want to give great rewards so if feels worth the players time.
I plan to add hidden elements to the game to rewards the player for exploring mindfully through the game.
If anyone by chance knows of any games with this kind of feel, please share it would love to get more inspiration.
