Publisher Koei Tecmo and studio Omega Force are preparing for the release of ambitious Musou action game Dynasty Warriors: Origins. The game will be released on the 17th of January and it seems that it won't disappoint the fans of the series - critics' evaluations indicate it.

Here's What We Know

Experts and journalists got acquainted with Dynasty Warriors: Origins and call it "the best part of the series".

Reviewers note that the action fully justifies its name and will be a worthy new beginning for the franchise. Press representatives are impressed by the large-scale battles, and some even call the battles the most massive in the history of video games, but probably implied just among action games.

Technical execution and gameplay of Dynasty Warriors: Origins received a lot of compliments, each level offers new situations, the player clearly feels the progression, gets new opportunities, and the characters vividly comment on what is happening. As for the story, it is the most ambiguous part of the game: someone considers it deep and rich, while others found it boring and rudimentary. But let's be honest, such games are popular not because of their plots, but because of spectacular battles, which is enough in this game.

As a result, Dynasty Warriors: Origins received the following scores:

  • 82 points - Opencritic, with 80% recommendations;
  • 80 points - Metacritic, PlayStation 5 version;
  • 85 points - Metacritic, PC version;
  • 78 points - Metacritic, Xbox Series version.
