Nov 4, 2025Insanely repetitive, horribly shallow, and pointlessly easy – this is the absolute least interesting thing to do with Zelda on the Switch 2 and bad even by the low standards of the Dynasty Warrior franchise.

Nov 5, 2025This game proves that The Legend of Zelda and musous makes a good match, again. [Recommended]

Nov 4, 2025I want more exploration, more puzzles, more curiosity. This game's not about that. But it does show me how good a true next-gen Zelda could be on the Switch 2, whenever Nintendo decides to make that happen.

Nov 4, 2025Oh, and here's a bonus: this is one of these games that runs well. I don't associate Warriors with that, even on higher-end consoles. But this is great. I don't know if it began life as a Switch 1 game and was then shifted to the successor machine or what, but whatever the reasoning I'm thrilled to note that this looks nice enough but also maintains a solid and high frame rate, even when hundreds of troops are bouncing around on screen.

Nov 4, 2025For the most part, Age of Imprisonment is a night and day difference over its predecessor, just as Z-A is to Arceus. If you need any sign that the Switch 2 is delivering on its tech promises, even with some caveats still in tow, both games provide a clear example of how the Switch 2 is significantly improving series that struggled on old hardware.

Nov 6, 2025I know not everyone can rock with the hack-and-slash format, but Age of Imprisonment is worth your time if you love this flavor of the Legend of Zelda series. The next mainline installment is probably a long way off, and I doubt we’re coming back to this version of Hyrule. But rather than leave fans hungry, Nintendo fed us with what is essentially a sequel less than two years later that is different enough to be interesting, familiar enough to not seem alienating, and with a canon story that will make the lore sickos like me happy.
