    Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate allows newcomers to see the start of the improvements to the Warriors series, which at one point was suffering from its own lack of ambition, and turn itself into a worthwhile hack and slash addict’s wet dream.

    Two years after its original release, Warriors Orochi 3 has lost some of its charm.

    With a huge roster of characters and a long campaign, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is easily one of the best Musou out there, but it's also terribly repetitive, dull and graphically poor.

    Overall Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate should please fans of the series - it has plenty of variety in characters. As for anyone else looking to get into the series, this title suffers from the same repetition as the other musou games. You can have quite a bit of fun by making the characters spout unwholesome lines though.

And no, I'm not hating on Bejeweled, but it's basically just something satisfying that you do to waste time. Swing your weapon around, and watch enemies die: that's the game. Repeat. It does have a particularly satisfying sense of progression, though - your favorite character goes from feeble to undefeatable in a fairly linear and satisfying way, and if you ever want to ramp up the difficulty, there are always a hundred more characters you've never considered playing with who are still enfeebled. Overall, I'd categorize this game as a guilty pleasure; it's the kind of game you might sink forty hours into and then insist to your friends that you were playing something that was actually good.… Full Review »

There's a ridiculous number of characters to use, and it will take an ungodly amount of time to maximize them all. However, there's little reason or incentive to. I think it's the best Warriors / Musuo game to date, but it may be time they try at least a little innovation?

    My biggest gripe is the amount of times I lose suddenly out of nowhere because I was in the wrong location, with no indication where the right location was. It feels like the illusion of choice. I am led to believe it's open and I can go anywhere and fight anyone, explore around a bit. In reality, there's a right place to be and a wrong place to be and figuring that out is the entirety of the game.    … Full Review »

    It's great. It's the best game I've ever seen. The picture is exquisite, the movement is smooth, and the design is exquisite.
