Nintendo LifePJ O'ReillyNov 20259/10Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a stunning slice of action, and my favourite musou game so far. Lessons have been learned from both Hyrule Warriors and Age of Calamity, resulting in a game that balances big-time story with top-notch combat that's got proper depth to it.With Zonai devices to play with, a cracking roster, tons of sexy Sync Strikes to pull off, and a ludicrously slick recreation of early Hyrule to set about kicking ass in, this is dream time for hack-and-slash fans and Zelda enthusiasts alike. Yes, map layouts are still a bit bland, and co-op mode is 30fps, but everything else here combines to make for the best entry in this spin-off franchise to date.

A technical marvel with enough lore and addictive gameplay to satisfy both fans and newcomers alike.

Daily MirrorNov 20254.5/5 starsMurdering millions of Moblins is simply a cathartic sensation you won’t get in any other Zelda game. Is it mindless? Yes. But still wholeheartedly satisfying.

Metro GameCentralNov 20254/10Insanely repetitive, horribly shallow, and pointlessly easy – this is the absolute least interesting thing to do with Zelda on the Switch 2 and bad even by the low standards of the Dynasty Warrior franchise.
