Path of Exile 2 Early Access
Persona 3 Reload
Dynasty Warriors Origin (Sun, Liu, Cao)
I completed Dynasty Warriors Origin including all 3 paths. This game would be a 10/10 with free choice of character and some dev time put into things like that. The gameplay is much improved, but still similar enough. Music is pretty decent and there was even a throwback song from DW3, which pumped me up. I really liked the Podao, it fit my playstyle so perfectly, it felt like cheating. Unfortunately there are a lot of negatives. The single character being a big one. The original story wasn't bad, but all of those scenes could have been put into the existing characters that we already liked. The 3 choices for Sun were not my preferred characters despite me liking Sun the most. The reason they were chosen was solely due to the weapon variety. The 3 choices for Liu all have similar weapons, they could have given Cheng Pu the spear and I would have been hyped. Gan Ning is in the game but mostly in the background and the entire storyline is spent trashing on Sun Quan despite arguably being the strongest and smartest and longest ruling out of the 3 emperors. Speaking of 3 kingdoms, it never gets there. I enjoyed 3 kingdoms era the most in most games and this game doesn't even make it there. So most of the game is spent sucking on Cao Cao and Liu Bei. This game will probably be the best selling DW since DW3, due to the gameplay improvements, so I expect a DW Origins 2 with the same style of game. So that will be disappointing due to the single character thing but at least it will be during 3 Kingdoms era. So there you have it. Check out this game if you like Late Han/ Cao/ Liu.
