Dynasty Warriors Origins Review
8 /10
Simple, sleek, and endlessly rewarding, Dynasty Warriors Origins is a huge improvement over previous entries, and the best musuo game of the decade.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is by far the best Musou game on the market when it comes to single-player gameplay. Its hack-and-slash combat is both satisfying and intuitive, with each of the ten weapon types providing a huge amount of variety. Battles can sometimes be a little repetitive, but not nearly enough to detract from the sense of excitement one gets from tearing through an entire army of soldiers or besting an enemy officer in a duel.
Unfortunately, however, the developers' attempts to freshen up the story ended up falling a little flat, and the way that side content is integrated is pretty clunky, to say the least (especially when it comes to raising one's bond with other officers). I also found the lack of local co-op to be incredibly disappointing, as my partner and I still play DW8 together from time to time and had been hoping that we'd finally be able to upgrade to a current-gen installment.
