Dynasty Warriors 9
Who knew Dynasty Warriors in an open-world setting could be dull and lifeless when it’s not downright annoying? The world is empty, with few enemies and almost nothing to do. It’s crazy since this is based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It essentially exists as padding while you trudge your way from one point to the next. Worst of all, that freedom works against the game since you can go straight for the enemy leader and eliminate them. Even if you go through all their soldiers, there’s no pretense of strategy or events, making each battle feel the same as the last. Poor AI, performance issues at launch, bugs, graphical issues – that’s all bad enough, but the main revamp, the world, feeling like a placeholder is the biggest disappointment
