I am eager to dive into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment both for fun and for review (keep an eye out for that soon!) this weekend. I generally like musou games. I have reviewed quite a few during my time here at Game Informer, including at least one Dynasty Warriors, the first Hyrule Warriors, and both of the Dragon Quest Heroes games. I also reviewed the second Fire Emblem Warriors game for GameSpot during my time there. I am mainly just eager to be back in the world of Tears of the Kingdom, even if it’s a spinoff. I will say, though, that I found the previous Hyrule Warriors game, Age of Calamity, to be a huge narrative disappointment. I really, really dislike the ending of that game. I won’t spoil it here, but the developers at Omega Force (and Nintendo is to be blamed, as well) had the opportunity to create an incredible, and potentially stirring, lead-in to Breath of the Wild, one of the greatest games of all time, and they completely whiffed it. I am really hoping a similar mistake isn’t made for Age of Imprisonment. I will let you know soon!
