Absolutely, put about a dozen hours into it but never felt hooked. It seemed like an intro RPG for kids and lacked a lot of depth.

^ This.

I'd imagine it's great for casual gamers and/or big time Nintendo/Zelda fans, but if you've sunk a lot of hours into heavier highly acclaimed RPGs like Mass Effect, Witcher, Skyrim, etc. it just feels so bland. Most of the characters are flat, the storyline is pretty standard, and the action quickly gets repetitive.

It's not a bad game but it's far from the must-play experience it was made out to be.

I strongly disagree as someone who’s played a lot of Skyrim, Elden ring, Witcher and mass effect. The game has so much great atmosphere and exciting exploration. The harder difficulty is more challenging and there is a lot to do and collect and secret bosses to fight. - they really expanded on the gameplay in TOTK too which is superior imo. I’d say Witcher and mass effect are slightly more linear also and more comparable to older semi open Zelda titles. Combat is also way better than Witcher and Skyrim imo although I’d say the story is slightly behind those others.
