Hyrule Warriors! My first taste of the Warriors games, being one I’ve wanted to play for a decade now. But, after doing so, I’ve found the game’s about what I expected it to be.

Not that that’s a bad thing. I had a lot of fun with it, even if I did get a bit frustrated by my lack of skill. It’s a game that simulates leading an army in a way that’s interesting and unique. It always makes you aware that the balance of the fight is in your hands alone, and you need to be on top of keeping your allies safe and the enemy side reeling.

I’d say my problems are less on the game and more on me. Having to always manage things in real time to make sure everything’s in order, on top of finding hidden items in each level…it’s very stressful to me, and I find it difficult sometimes to deal with it.

With that being said, I still found it worth going through just to see and hear all the cool Zelda callbacks and remixes, using old locations, characters, and items from the series. Even stuff I wouldn’t expect them to bring over. It made my inner Zelda fan very happy.

And I’d say anyone who’s played a ton of these games will find something to like here, so give it a try if you’re at all curious.
