Tears of the Kingdom is an excellent game. The design is, of course, stunning. The gameplay is the same delightful formula as Breath of the Wild, but with a bigger map and even more ways to play around thanks to the new device building mechanics. I think the best way to summarize Tears of the Kingdom is that it has higher highs and lower lows than Breath of the Wild. The story is much better this time around, with the non playable characters actually involved in the story this time, and even slightly improved voice acting! The music is beautifully composed and performed. The map is, of course, much larger due to the sky islands and the depths. The sky islands have lots to discover with plenty of variety. In my opinion, the temples were much more fun than the divine beasts of Breath of the Wild. The new mechanics in this game are like being a kid with an infinite supply of Legos. You can make almost anything you imagine, and you can often use the new mechanics to find unique solutions to puzzles or quicker ways to defeat enemies. The game adds new enemies that helped keep the gameplay from feeling too repetitive (for the most part). I think the game did a better job rewarding players for completion/curiosity than Breath of the Wild. The ending was fantastic. Tears of the Kingdom is an excellent fantasy adventure that you won't mind getting lost in for hours.
This game is not perfect, however. First of all, the size of the world is a problem in this game. For instance, the depths map is massive, but it doesn't have much variety. You can find some cool armor and his weapons from it, but it just feels like too much map for what it offers. The other major complaint that I (and many other players) have is that the sage powers you get for completing the main temples in the game are somewhat useless aside from helping you out in the final boss fights. Without spoiling things, they can be useful, but the way you use them is unreliable, leading to frustration. My other disappointment is that the shrine puzzles in this game are just not as clever as the shrines in Breath of the Wild. For almost all of them, the first thing I tried was the solution, and even finding the bonus chests in the shrines was too easy.
In spite of the few shortcomings I've listed, Tears of the Kingdom is a high quality Nintendo game. I think the ambitious gameplay variety and the overall quality of life improvements over its predecessor easily make it worth buying. I think Breath of the Wild might be the better of the two games, but that's more of a testament to the brilliant work that Nintendo puts into the Zelda series.

From the manufacturer
An epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits
In this sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above.
Explore. Create. Discover.
The sky
Use Link’s new abilities to explore the sky islands that have mysteriously appeared in the skies above Hyrule.
The surface
The sky isn’t the only thing that’s changed in Hyrule. Familiar locations have been dramatically transformed, with new towns, dank caves, and mysterious gaping chasms springing up across the world—all waiting to be explored.
Harness the power of Link’s new abilities
Ultrahand
Using the new Ultrahand ability, Link can pick up, move, and rotate almost any object, and can even attach objects together to create bridges, vehicles, and more!
Fuse
Magically fuse almost any object to Link’s current weapon, shield, or arrow to increase durability, damage, or even add a new effect. Experiment with lots of different combinations to come up with surprising—and sometimes hilarious—results!
Ascend
Add a new dimension to your exploration with Ascend, which gives Link the ability to pass through solid objects above him. Rise up through ceilings, hillsides, and even certain enemies to create seemingly impossible shortcuts.
Recall
Use Recall to make objects in motion move backward through time, letting Link ride fallen boulders skyward, recover thrown weapons, or send projectiles back where they came from.
Can you harness the power of Link’s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom?
