Maybe future Persona 5 Scramble/Strikers.
Amazing Koei-Tecmo could release Age of Calamity worldwide even before Scramble, lol.
Game kilt is the worst website for reviews in France. For few years it's a disaster.
The reviews seem quite good, they are what I expected. I canceled my pe-order because for at least a month I would not be able to play this game, since I still haven't finished my backlog, but maybe in mid-December I could get it (possibly also at 50€ instead of full-price)
They gave every previous warriors game a 4/10 or lower so that's actually an improvement for them. And yeah some places are super biased against warriors games and copy paste the reviews
Is it just me or does this really sounds a bit ignorant?
At least get some new material, lol. This type of thing will probably no longer work in Resetera.
They just don't like musou

Nobody is saying the story is not canon from what I can tell...
I mean it's not what happened before breath of the wild. This test is in french tho.
Test du jeu Hyrule Warriors : L'Ère du Fléau sur Switch
Il y a quelques semaines, nous avions pu poser nos mains sur le Musô se déroulant dans l’univers de The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild. Si l’aspect narratif et scénaristique nous donnait bon espoir de prendre part à une aventure palpitante, nous avions plus de réserves quant à la solidité...
Have we hit the 'anything below 80 = bad/mediocre' stage already?
Some are saying it has nothing to do with BotW's story however. Canon or not, I think that's the bigger point.
That's a bit ...weird.
Well anyhow doubt most people interested gonna care too much about reviews anyways since there is a demo.
I hope it's at least better than the demo? Can't wait to see more footage of hos handheld runs, as that's what I'm mostly interested in. Was planning on getting this while I travel for work.
My review
Critical Hit (7/10)
Basically this. I loved the gameplay but the story adds little to nothing to the overall BoTW narrative, world and characters which makes that even when treated as its own stand alone game, it just comes off as weak. They did a pretty great job with Zelda though, so that's at least a massive plus :D

I haven't seen that either to be honest. I get that it's not exactly going to be the prequel some wanted but I think claiming it isn't canon or has nothing to do with BotW seems a bit hyperbolic.
The scores are actually slightly better than I expected overall.
I'm probably waiting for whenever the Switch Pro is released though. The performance in the demo was too erratic even for me.

It's ''The Gamer'' reviewer btw, I read it wrong lmao.
And on topic of his post, he loved the game but he thought it wasn't worth it a 10 because of ''minor'' mistakes, in this case Joy-Con drift and frame rates.
Is it just me or does this really sounds a bit ignorant?
Isn't it an usual take with Musou games though?
Joycon drift isn't a game issue, that's a weird complaint to make about a game specifically. Framerate of course is.
I agree , maybe he thought it was worth mentioning since this is a common thing? Idk.

They've got a bone to pick with the genre, for sure...not a huge musou guy myself, but every game should be judged on its merits without preconceived baggage.
Canon is a completely arbitrary thing so I don't really care about that. For the rest, we'll have to see but I already read two review that talk about this.
Gamespot: Story conflicts with both the events and themes of Breath of the Wild, souring its potential
Jeuxvideo.com: Disappointing story that doesn't follow BOTW
On the one hand it seems like the story isn't exactly what people were led to believe.
On the other hand just telling the same story that was told in BotW again could've been pretty boring so some people are probably glad it was shaken up a bit.
I can already tell you Jim Sterling's review:
"Better than Breath of the Wild 8/10" =P
getting near an 80 opencritic score is like a 90+ for any other genre.
I loved Hyrule Warriors but always felt certain aspects of it were incredibly tedious and it really bloated the game.
If this is tighter and more focused I might pick it up eventually.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity review - a hugely enjoyable, impressively authentic Zelda spin-off
Of all the musou spin-offs - Persona! Gundam! Fire Emblem! Was there a Birdo one or was that just another of my mundane…

I would've guessed ~78 beforehand, so it's reviewing very slightly better than I would've predicted. These are very good reviews for a musou game. For context, I believe it's reviewing better than Hyrule Warriors, any of the Pirate Warriors games, and Dragon Quest Heroes II, and I often see those considered some of the best musou spin-off games.
Ok the Gamespot reviewer liked the story until he reached the last part of the game. He didn't like the conclusion. I can imagine what he means but i don't know if i would feel the same. He was also pretty positive about Zelda and her journey to fullfil her destiny. I loved the story of BotW and its focus how the big expectations everyone had of her impacted her. This game seems to show that in much more depth and i think that's enough for me and i like the gameplay.
