Mostly yes. The grinding in this game feels way better than the first HW, getting little stories about how the materials actually help makes the world feel more alive and gives them more purpose than simply seeing a number go up. The missions themselves lean a little too heavily on having super...

Finished the story and I feel kinda mixed.

Rewatching the BotW sequel trailer, it looks like Zelda and Link are exploring some sort of cave. I get the feeling the overworld itself won't really change much geographically, so how would you feel if to try and keep that feeling of discovery and a sense of the unknown a large part of the...

I agree on pretty much everything, AoC so far has been way better than HW. There are a few things I prefer about the first game, namely the music. Also, this is totally personal but HW had a lot of really special moments that AoC hasn't quite matched, largely relying on nostalgia. But like you...

I think they could try to incorporate dungeon items in a way that suits the open world format. Using the champion abilities from BotW as an example, what if the dungeon required those abilities but you were only able to use the powers outside the dungeon once the boss had been defeated...

I tend to abuse the staves a lot, exposing weak point gauges quickly is super nice. Other than that I just dodge around wildly and hope it works. Using stasis when the weak point gauge appears to extend how long you can chip away at it and then using a special to expose it immediately again...

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh, I don't really mind them but I'm not as excited about them as I was hoping to be. The controls just feel a little off, not to the point where I'm actively frustrated or annoyed but enough to turn me off the missions after doing one. Like, I'll have fun with a divine beast mission...

Full disclosure, I did grind Link, Impa, and Zelda to level 20 with the demo and get them pretty high level weapons. Playing on hard so far and I'm not finding it too bad yet, defs had a few close calls though. I'm finding battles against other characters especially, a lot of the time I'm...

So far I'm loving Revali and Urbosa, think I prefer Urbosa just a lil more. Her lightning is sooooo satisfying to use. Daruk and Mipha haven't quite clicked yet, but they're still loads of fun every now and then

Age of Calamity LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yeah, this defs feels like the kind of game you can really only get into if you like BotW in the first place. For what it's worth though, I do think it gets better after the first chapter. The first two missions are some of the most uninteresting, later missions start to feel more like the first...

Just picked up AoC and played through a few more missions, general impressions are still solid. The game defs has performance issues, but I started to find less problems with framerate and more with pop in (especially in death mountain). Other than that though, it's pretty solid so far. The...

Did I spend almost 10 hours on the Age of Calamity demo? Yes. Do I regret it? A little.

I came extremely close to grabbing a PS5, but decided to hold off for a bit longer. I've still got a bit of a backlog of PS4 games so I'm not really in any hurry to get one, I'll probs wait a few months. Once a few more games are out and they become readily available enough that I can just walk...

I can't 100% remember, but I know I used to drop games as a kid all the time. I think I beat Midtown Madness 3 on X-Box, but if I didn't then it was probably Skyward Sword

Probably Breath of the Wild for me, but Celeste is a close second and Persona 5 is a close third

General accessibility options could and should become more universal, stuff like speech-to-text and text-to-speech, options to support colourblind players (ESPECIALLY in puzzle games), and the ability to remap buttons to a unique layout.

Age of Calamity is almost out! I've been thinking about what kind of post-game modes, or just modes outside of the campaign, might exist, like Hyrule Warrior's adventure mode or challenge mode. I don't think we'll see anything on the scale of adventure mode, but a challenge mode with extra...

I think she's loads of fun, but I have to be in a really specific mindset when playing her. Like, when playing Link or Impa I can just turn the brain off and press buttons, when playing Zelda I find I need to pay more attention. That being said, when you can properly set up runes it's an...

Absolutely, I can easily see them doing DLC in the same way they did Hyrule Warriors, with more characters, costumes, possibly non-canon stages. I'd love to see a sort of "what if" scenario as DLC. Something like "what if a different character became a champion?", as a way of introducing other...

It definitely felt a little off, especially in the first stage. Nothing game breaking, more just mildly annoying. As long as it doesn't get any worse later in the game I reckon I'll more or less get used to it

Waiting for Nov 20th

After getting every character to level 20 and grinding for weapons, materials, etc, I can safely say I loved the demo. The characters all feel great to play as, and have a surprising amount of depth even without being able to unlock their full movesets. The performance issues bugged me a little...

I love the map, just adds more 'Breath of the wild'-ness to the game. I can see it becoming kinda cluttered and annoying to navigate in late game, but hopefully there will be a way to filter icons

Out of curiosity I'm working on a list of various parts of the first Hyrule Warriors game that Age of Calamity didn't bring back (or at least, aren't in the demo), for better or worse. So far I've got: Zelda-style controls: I'm genuinely bummed out about this, this control layout felt so...
