    There’s a cognitive dissonance to a game whose core is built around joyful excess and ridiculousness yet is so somber, subdued, and joyless when it comes to its narrative and characters.

    There’s some fantastic action combat with an array of weaponry in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and for some people, that will be enough. But as the game pivots to a more narrative focus, it only exposes its shortcomings, and feels too repetitive and inconsequential to sustain its own story.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins is thrilling fun so long as you don't overthink its hollow story.
