Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition Review - IGN

This Zelda game in the style of Dynasty Warriors has all the fun and virtually none of the performance issues of its predecessors.

Zeldafan642189d ago

Seems metacritic score for this will be in the high 70s which is where I figured it would be.

Grilla2189d ago

Yeah it’s crap, I don’t know who they make these dynasty warrior type games for. I never liked em.

shuvam092189d ago (Edited 2189d ago )

So devs should only make games for you then???

Outlawzz2189d ago

They make it for fans of the genre

FlyingFoxy2189d ago

Grilla can't count i guess, many seem to think that a 7.x score is bad, 6 is average and 7 is good so anything above there is decent if you enjoy the type of game. Plus taste differs, that's why scores change depending on the website. I don't pay that much attention to scores unless it's a terribly low score.. too many sheep these days.

@FlyingFoxy
My opinion of this game is not based on the IGN score. I owned it on the Wii U. I tried to like it. The gameplay is shallow and the combat isn’t satisfying at all. Plus the graphics suck

I really liked this game.. FE warriors as well.. A good 8/10 in my book since you can change characters on the fly in this one

Zeldafan642189d ago

Changing characters on the fly would bump it to an 8.5 for me. Not being able to do so is my biggest complaint in the Wii U version.

DivineAssault 2189d ago

Ehhhh maybe but its not like FE where you can send your officers to defeat specific enemies.. You can switch to whoever is closest to your goal though.. 8-8.5 is about right for this game.. But like you, i disliked the wii u version because it was like a beta of what they were going to do.. Some of the characters are too over the top but thats what these games are about..

OnDec762189d ago

7.5 really?, IGN arw haters, this game is more like an 8.5 9.0

wonderfulmonkeyman2189d ago

Having all the content in one place instead of divided into two versions really makes this worth the re-purchase.
And although the two extra costumes isn't that much of an extra at all, it's still better than nothing new at all.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds484d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69484d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3484d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese484d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits484d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183484d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Does Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Live Up to its Predecessor?

Both Hyrule Warriors games are a blast to play through and offer hours upon hours of content, but how do the two compare against each other?

The fact you can switch between characters DURING missions makes it a lot better than the Wii U version.

ZeekQuattro905d ago

The first HW game has a better roster mainly because it spanned several Zelda games and its soundtrack also benefited from it as well. Other than that Age Of Calamity improves on everything else. I find it to be a better game overall.

XbladeTeddy905d ago

Played the crap out of the original on the Wii U, even got the 3DS version as well for the extra content. Tried playing Age of Calamity but the frame rate just became too annoying and I just couldn't play it and enjoy it like it did back in the day because of that.
