Fun little detail: By pressing L and R on the loading screen, you control the little guardian, making it run left and right. Pressing B makes it jump and X makes it’s little antenna bounce up and down.
Its great. The og version of Hyrule Warriors at the end when it had all the DLC was like over 500 hrs of content. With maps from Majoras mask with time elements. And so so so much more. It had a insain roster. It had more bland maps though. You would use grapple hook and such to get golden skeltulas , it was a great 'passive' kinda game to pickup and have fun. It was addicting. I was amazed how much time i put into it which was during when i had 3 cancerous tumors in my gut so i had nothing but time. And it sucked. Unable to move and pain we're aliviated by the original. Sorry for long comment. Etill git the etomsch issues but nore time to live they say. Meds make me so foggy and so does pain. Be safe bud.
the divine beast parts are literally the best part of the game for me. I love the feeling of finally getting to bring the pain to them after struggling for 30 minutes on hard mode first playthrough. It was a short awesome set pieces for me.
Interesting. Personally, I didn't really like the Divine Beast sections since the controls felt very akward and I ended up only using one ability throughout their entire Arsenal since there simply wasn't any need for me to use the others. Like for the Vah Naboris missions, I only used the Charging attack because it was a guaranteed ko with invincibility and zero risk. Why use anything else when Charging works so much better? Oh well, to each their own.
I don't understand how people already have the game and they are spoiling it.. I've seen too much that I dont want to see right now I've already seen 4 spoilers lol
I thought they did say it was the prequel Multiple times. I personally loved all of it. (Spoiler after these brackets) I went in knowing nothing I do will matter and kinda being a little bummed and "whatever" attitude for the most part. Then I got near the end and immediately got super hyped. The changes made me so happy and actually made me like it a lot more. Thats just me though
People's expectations are generally too high for this game. It's a Warriors game after all. As much as I love Zelda and BotW, I haven't been able to get hyped for this.
People just say ‘warriors’ game like that means something to everyone. Funny I saw it and thought, oh, it’s 99 nights. This game looks awesome, but the demo bored me very quickly. 🤷🏼♂️
It can't be worse than Fortnite, so it's on the list now. Jeez can somebody nuke that other game out of existence, it's festering almost as badly as Roblox
Hey, I just wanted to ask, without spoilers... please don’t spoil... but does this game retcon breath of the wild? Like does it end the way it’s SUPPOSED to end? Or is this like a “what if” alternate ending?
@@skullkid1270 thank you. I will stay away from age of calamity videos. Also, I dont see them that much in my recommendation page. But I will try to limit my time on TH-cam for now. Thank you

"You won't be hitting Tripple figure ". Guys. Have you ever tried to complete a warriors game? They take 200+ hours to do so. 200+ hours. If that is not triple figure. Than I font know what is.
I'm sitting on 380+ hours for Hyrule Warriors and haven't even finished the main campaign or maxed out a character. :-P And I enjoy every second of it!
a lot of people buying this game aren't necessarily fans of musou games, and will probably only play this for the story elements, so yeah it'll definitely take them less time to finish the story
People talking about the Spoiler in the footage, I get that. But did you read the *Description* "Calamity game" not even a sentence. This video feels like whomever wrote it spent a lot of time on it, choosing his words carefully. It's well-written, honest, and willing to go into the negative without seeming like whining. Well done. Then whomever edited it, presented it, and had to finally review it prior to release just wanted to clock out early and just plopped it up ;P
Nope, sadly not. People need to stop comparing BOTW with age of calamity. They’re two ENTIRELY SEPARATE genre of games. If you buy this game expecting a BOTW experience, you will be heavily disappointed. It’s just a hack and slash game with some Zelda paint added on.
Omg I hope so, even though I've always wanted the skull kid with Majora's Mask to be in Smash but any character from Zelda that isn't the usual 3 Link/Zelda/Ganondorf is welcome.
Sorry, but you're wrong on here .. This game is made to be played BEFORE botw, playing the war referenced, and experiencing life with the sage's, makes them even more relevant to botw as someone who's experienced the narrative vs just being told about it, expecting to bond with vague characters, don't tell me, show me, age of calamity does all this
not sure what you're referring to. when you first start breath of the wild, you are informed that a great calamity happened 100 years prior. this game is what happened 100 years before breath of the wild and basically what lead link to go into this big slumber.
I mean it is unfortunate and the false advertising is shitty (they should have called it and alterned path of hundred years before, instead of what happened a hundred years ago). Regardless I am happy that there is a happy ending and that the champions aren’t dead in this universe. This uses the OoT logic by creating two timelines via time travel
Impa for Smash. I want another zelda character in smash bros. Impa would be so cool. Imagine cloning in smash bros and creating a nimble Rosalina and Luma type of character.
The Switch is shaping up to be my favorite console, and I'm excited for this game. However I think this shows exactly why a more powerful Switch is necessary. That multiplayer framerate doesn't even look playable. It's not just about graphics, though improved visuals always are nice, it's also about performance and what kind of things can be done in a game. Dragon Quest Heroes 1+2 pack that was only released in Japan also suffered bad framerate issues on Switch.
Honestly I was looking forward to the game, but when playing the demo, the frame rate was constantly lagging and could barely handle 30fps, I was even seeing massive pop on from small buildings, trees, and also grass just by walking a few feet away. At one point in the level with the guardian, the game went down to around 5fps, in SINGLE PLAYER! Combine that with the fact that I have never been a big fan of warriors games to begin due to the grindy elements, it kinda let me down a bit even though I was never a fan of the genre. However, playable Hestu has me saying otherwise lol.
Gotta admit the playing that demo made me worried that this game could mess with botw original story. I'm really apprehensive about that and the way they handle the time travel thing and how the story closes could ruin the experience, in a narrative perspective. Gameplaywise, I'm all in for this.
I don't know why they can't just expand the story based on the memories from botw, fans will not be conflicted with the story as much now. I personally not a fan of musou games but i was pretty hyped when this announced because of the prequel storyline, but after playing the demo and all of reviews i heard so far says the story kinda meh and not a "direct prequel" because of the time traveling element they add for some reason, im less interested now.
@@m_riidi yeah, sadly me too, I was really excited bc that was the main selling point of this game, they didn't need to do this, but ok, I'll still try to grab sometime next year
Remember, they did say that the game is canon, meaning that they still do lose at the endx which means that the robot fails, not messing with the story.
Yeah no if I had any reason to play this game was to cry helplessly all night long at the end. But seeing how they made a new alternate timeline and won't tell us what exactly happened (and with the new trailer hinting at a happy ending) just makes me not wanna buy it.
Where I’m disappointed is the fact that they were so ambiguous about the way the story would play out. I feel like they used the “Breath of the Wild prequel” as a way to sell a bunch of copies of the game seeing as it’s their holiday title. Had they been honest from the beginning and stated that this is a Breath of the Wild SPINOFF I would be more excited about the game. They have been teasing us with this games canonicity for the past two months and yeah, I think you get my point. I’m sure it will be fun to play and all but I wish the marketing had been different. All I can hope is that Botw 2 won’t follow AoC’s story. (I DONT think that is likely, seeing as it was Botw’s DIRECT sequel, but who knows at this point :/)

@@SomeTH-camTraveler it always amazes me when people infer genuine emotion from what I feel like are obviously highly exaggerated hyperbolic statements. I guess it’s hard to impart tone through text and I’m not a fan of emojis but I just feel like it should be obvious that there’s some implied sarcasm when someone makes boldly declarative superlative comparisons like that
MASSIVE SPOILER: EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT FOR LINK LINK SLEPT IN ZELDA'S GUARDIAN COOCHIE CAVE WHILE ZELDA TRYING TO HOLDBACK CALAMITY GANONDORK IN THE CASTLE
Constantly comparing this to Breath of the Wild is as useful as comparing Gwent to The Witcher 3. They're games in totally different genres and aren't even pretending like they're not
@@mark012498 apparently not, according to that review story is good with a insane amount of cutscene, enjoyable story, but it's a alternate timeline. So I guess it's not a direct prequel sadly
Should have gotten a 9 for just being fucking amazing. A game shouldn't EVER get a lower score just for being what it is. You cant expect a MUSOU game to have the depth of a GOTY winner like BOTW, you just cant. It should be rated compared to other titles like it.
I'm glad we got the story for the Age of Calamity, and in all honesty, I don't think it could be told any other way, other than a full novelized series.
If this is a prequel to the events of the main game then hell yeah I’ll play this first. I mean I prefer this game anyway because it’s a fast paced hack n slash.
I’m still so hyped for this, I’ve seen spoilers and sure they’re kind of like disappointing knowing the potential of what could’ve been especially as it was set up as a “prequel” to BOTW. BUT I’m still keen to experience something new, at its core it’s still a HackAndSlash so all the comparisons to BOTW seem unfair. Ofc you can’t just explore everywhere like BOTW and they want to at least surprise people with something new, I think if they hadve just communicated that from the beginning we wouldn’t be seeing these sorts of criticisms
There's nothing new here, if you've played hyrule warriors you've played this. The game chugs along. Im a fan of the original hyrule warriors, but this game just does not run well.
I think I like the Hyrule Warriors games more than the proper Zelda series games. I love the combat sure. But when it's time for Zelda lore (in other games), the story annoys me. Link doing everything alone is sad. The puzzles don't excite me. And I can leave the searching and mystique element alone. So yeah. Outside of the Musou games, I think the Zelda element isn't for me. Interesting because most folks will come into this game looking for more of the Zelda formula.
Thought the demo was ok, never really played the dynasty warriors stuff properly and isn't really my thing but I gave it a try, I'll pass on this cos I don't fancy paying full price for something I'm not that into but I hope everyone enjoys it until we get botw 2!
Sure, I already have Pirate Warriors 4 to scratch that Musou itch. But unbreakable, upgradeable tree branch and soup ladle weapons are too hard to ignore.
Unpopular opinion: I found it to be kinda boring and tedious, pressing the same button patterns over and over again. I will still buy it though because I want to learn the full story.
Once I bought a Warriors game and that's it. Never make that mistake again. Warriors tittles are like bad written fanfiction. Boss are as easy as the next. So, personally I won't buy it. I love the champions but I wouldn't like to see I don't know, a forced triangle with Link- Zelda-Mipha, or whatever they did.
Grinding fuckfest of a game. Incredibly boring and pretty to look at. Just like every other game in the Warriors franchise. If you're excited for this because you're a Warriors fan, have fun (I don't know how you do it). If you're excited about this because you're a Zelda fan, you've just wasted (or will waste) $60.
I was looking forward to this one, I tried the demo, mind blown how boring & repetitive it was. I understand, different tastes... but still, I don't quite understand why so many people seem to like it. And I do like repetitive games if they are challenging, e.g. Hades. This tho, didn't seem challenging at all, just plain: "run there, smash the buttons, run there, smash the buttons.
I don't know if they've optimised the game in the background but I've played in exclusively two player mode and only have frame issues if we both use special attacks at the same time in the middle of the same mob
@@bern9642 going with your logic, botw isn't a zelda game either. And people who are conflicted with the story is not purely because of the time traveling stuff, but because we are afraid the story going to deviate from botw storyline and create a new story/ timeline when they advertised this as a botw prequel. Their announcement trailer is botw devs have a big talk of how they work very closely with koei so they can create a faithful botw prequel in term of story, graphics, and gameplay. I don't doubt the gameplay and graphics, they looks and feels good but the story is just a fanfiction. and they never once said that this is a "what if" story.
No that’s not the issue. The issue is false advertising it as a prequel when it is not. It is a „what if“ scenario that uses OoTs way of splitting the timeline
"-and it makes for one hell of a side dish! An appitizer to set you up for Breath of the Wild 2, perhaps?" (waves in only a few days left until Tears of the Kingdom and am looking up videos to whet my whistle before the game drops)
Many years since Ocarina of Time and Link still has no English voice actor. Seriously enough of silent Link he needs an English voice actor. I could do it if you need someone or better yet hire Yuri Lowenthal my pick he would nail it guaranteed he would just need to change his voice to sound different from Marth.
I'm a hack and slash fan, and the demo for this game showed that it took a pretty large leap foward compared to the og hyrule warriors (which I was relatively disappointed with) so I will def be getting it!
TBH this is less interesting to me than Hyrule Warriors because BotW's atmosphere and bits and bobs and doohickies have gotten stale for me. I prefer the magnum opus of content spanning all the franchise rather than BotW scrapped of its gameplay.
So... I think I finished the game... pretty sure I did, and not once did I feel I was playing Hyrule Warriors. It is a decent game, just does not feel like Hyrule warriors. To many missing features to call it that. Other than that, Pregnant/Fat Zelda is like the new Tingle : SUPER ANNOYING! They need to update the game with a way to shut her mouth! Really... every single attack equals talk! Chaining attacks just makes playing her worse. Did anyone really feel like this game had any resemblance to Hyrule Warriors after completing the game? Cause after 100 hours, I just chucked it in my drawer, while I have over 450 hours on Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. Lame!
very disappointed in this video... you guys said no spoilers but the first thing you see is Link in a totally different colored clothes, if you guys kept the original color at least that wouldn't have been so bad... but the worst "spoiler" that you guys showed was that Hestu was playable... you guys might not think that is such a bad thing but it totally gives away that you can play him... it hurt cause I used to trust you guys for spoiler-free reviews...
Well I was playing the demo and I was impressed. I just never buy it and probably never will because of the unforgivable framerate bulshitery when you just walk let alone do anything else rather then looking at the ground while standing still....
I put my phone face down on the table to listen to the review and still didn't manage to get through without hearing things I didn't wanna know yet. Not full-blown spoilers but still.

I personally not a fan of musou games but i was pretty hyped when this announced because of the prequel storyline, but after playing the demo and all of reviews i heard so far says the story kinda meh and not a "direct prequel" because of the time traveling element they add for some reason, im less interested now.
@@m_riidi yeah, sadly me too, I was really excited bc that was the main selling point of this game, they didn't need to do this, but ok, I'll still try to grab sometime next year
Remember, they did say that the game is canon, meaning that they still do lose at the endx which means that the robot fails, not messing with the story.
Yeah no if I had any reason to play this game was to cry helplessly all night long at the end. But seeing how they made a new alternate timeline and won't tell us what exactly happened (and with the new trailer hinting at a happy ending) just makes me not wanna buy it.
Where I’m disappointed is the fact that they were so ambiguous about the way the story would play out. I feel like they used the “Breath of the Wild prequel” as a way to sell a bunch of copies of the game seeing as it’s their holiday title. Had they been honest from the beginning and stated that this is a Breath of the Wild SPINOFF I would be more excited about the game. They have been teasing us with this games canonicity for the past two months and yeah, I think you get my point. I’m sure it will be fun to play and all but I wish the marketing had been different. All I can hope is that Botw 2 won’t follow AoC’s story. (I DONT think that is likely, seeing as it was Botw’s DIRECT sequel, but who knows at this point :/)

@@SomeTH-camTraveler it always amazes me when people infer genuine emotion from what I feel like are obviously highly exaggerated hyperbolic statements. I guess it’s hard to impart tone through text and I’m not a fan of emojis but I just feel like it should be obvious that there’s some implied sarcasm when someone makes boldly declarative superlative comparisons like that
You look like you eat massive amounts of soylent.
I’m getting it!!! I loved Breath of the Wild like mostly everyone! I also love Slashers! So it’s a Win Win!!!
MASSIVE SPOILER:
EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT FOR LINK
LINK SLEPT IN ZELDA'S GUARDIAN COOCHIE CAVE
WHILE ZELDA TRYING TO HOLDBACK CALAMITY GANONDORK IN THE CASTLE
@Alexander Nicolas Micheli now you just spoiled the game for that person
Nooo😭
Damn it my spoiler backfired😭😭🥺👉👈
Boy O boy will you be sad
Constantly comparing this to Breath of the Wild is as useful as comparing Gwent to The Witcher 3. They're games in totally different genres and aren't even pretending like they're not
I can't wait to watch all these characters we've to grown to love ultimately fail.
It's actually a alternate timeline story, what a Nintendo world report video said. Did say the story was awesome though
@@GalacticStarForge42 Wait what, really? So it isn’t a direct prequel to BOTW?
@@mark012498 apparently not, according to that review story is good with a insane amount of cutscene, enjoyable story, but it's a alternate timeline. So I guess it's not a direct prequel sadly
@@GalacticStarForge42 isnt there another timeline where they lose?
@@mark012498 no it’s not it’s an alternate timeline where they survive and beat ganon
Wait. You said that this footage is from the demo but I see that you have the Master Sword which is not obtainable in the demo.
I bought hyrule warriors legends for 3ds an can’t wait to pick up my pre order of age calamity Friday
7:12 Found a mistake, Link is supposed to drown in the water in 0.0001 seconds. He can't swim.
Should have gotten a 9 for just being fucking amazing. A game shouldn't EVER get a lower score just for being what it is. You cant expect a MUSOU game to have the depth of a GOTY winner like BOTW, you just cant. It should be rated compared to other titles like it.
Curious how much content this has compared to HW Legends which had a Legend Mode to extend gameplay after the main campaign.
I'm glad we got the story for the Age of Calamity, and in all honesty, I don't think it could be told any other way, other than a full novelized series.
If this is a prequel to the events of the main game then hell yeah I’ll play this first. I mean I prefer this game anyway because it’s a fast paced hack n slash.
I’m still so hyped for this, I’ve seen spoilers and sure they’re kind of like disappointing knowing the potential of what could’ve been especially as it was set up as a “prequel” to BOTW. BUT I’m still keen to experience something new, at its core it’s still a HackAndSlash so all the comparisons to BOTW seem unfair. Ofc you can’t just explore everywhere like BOTW and they want to at least surprise people with something new, I think if they hadve just communicated that from the beginning we wouldn’t be seeing these sorts of criticisms
There's nothing new here, if you've played hyrule warriors you've played this. The game chugs along. Im a fan of the original hyrule warriors, but this game just does not run well.
I think I like the Hyrule Warriors games more than the proper Zelda series games. I love the combat sure.
But when it's time for Zelda lore (in other games), the story annoys me. Link doing everything alone is sad. The puzzles don't excite me. And I can leave the searching and mystique element alone.
So yeah. Outside of the Musou games, I think the Zelda element isn't for me. Interesting because most folks will come into this game looking for more of the Zelda formula.
I wanted to play this more for the story but from what I understand, I'm going to be very disappointed.
If you wanted to know what happened 100 years ago then yes you will be
Was waiting for the personal thoughts :(
I'll skip this game the graphics changed from the hyrule warriors 1 and now they seem too cartoony and cell shaded
Thought the demo was ok, never really played the dynasty warriors stuff properly and isn't really my thing but I gave it a try, I'll pass on this cos I don't fancy paying full price for something I'm not that into but I hope everyone enjoys it until we get botw 2!
Sure, I already have Pirate Warriors 4 to scratch that Musou itch. But unbreakable, upgradeable tree branch and soup ladle weapons are too hard to ignore.
Been playing this all morning and loving it so far
Unpopular opinion: I found it to be kinda boring and tedious, pressing the same button patterns over and over again. I will still buy it though because I want to learn the full story.
apparently the story isn't exactly as straight forward as being the events prior to BoTW. So just be aware of that.
Once I bought a Warriors game and that's it. Never make that mistake again. Warriors tittles are like bad written fanfiction. Boss are as easy as the next. So, personally I won't buy it. I love the champions but I wouldn't like to see I don't know, a forced triangle with Link- Zelda-Mipha, or whatever they did.
Just a warning. This isn’t a prequel. It is canon, but it isn’t a prequel
Unpopular opinion? What is that?
Why is everyone who is interested in this game just for the story buy it? Why not just watch on youtube
Grinding fuckfest of a game. Incredibly boring and pretty to look at. Just like every other game in the Warriors franchise. If you're excited for this because you're a Warriors fan, have fun (I don't know how you do it). If you're excited about this because you're a Zelda fan, you've just wasted (or will waste) $60.
Hard pass. Imo one warrior game played is enough. :(
I played fire emblem warriors and got bored after half an hour. No thanks to other games of this type.
@@breadordecide same bro these games are just not for me
I was looking forward to this one, I tried the demo, mind blown how boring & repetitive it was. I understand, different tastes... but still, I don't quite understand why so many people seem to like it. And I do like repetitive games if they are challenging, e.g. Hades. This tho, didn't seem challenging at all, just plain: "run there, smash the buttons, run there, smash the buttons.
I havn't played BoTW yet... I am getting it and Hyrule Warriors next month though
Please remove the clips in Korok Forest, there are pretty major spoilers.
I don't know if they've optimised the game in the background but I've played in exclusively two player mode and only have frame issues if we both use special attacks at the same time in the middle of the same mob
Wait...I can PLAY as Hestu? I was excited before but now I am really excited!
LOL everyone asking if the time travel messes with the ending... Was breath of the wild your first Zelda game or? 🥴🥴
It actually did, and yes I did play botw
Well Hyrule warriors isn't a Zelda game as the reviewer mentioned. So it's a valid question
@@bern9642 yeah but in the announcement trailer they said that this game was going to be a canon prequel. Spin offs can be canon. Yet they lied to us
@@bern9642 going with your logic, botw isn't a zelda game either. And people who are conflicted with the story is not purely because of the time traveling stuff, but because we are afraid the story going to deviate from botw storyline and create a new story/ timeline when they advertised this as a botw prequel.
Their announcement trailer is botw devs have a big talk of how they work very closely with koei so they can create a faithful botw prequel in term of story, graphics, and gameplay. I don't doubt the gameplay and graphics, they looks and feels good but the story is just a fanfiction. and they never once said that this is a "what if" story.
No that’s not the issue. The issue is false advertising it as a prequel when it is not. It is a „what if“ scenario that uses OoTs way of splitting the timeline
"-and it makes for one hell of a side dish! An appitizer to set you up for Breath of the Wild 2, perhaps?"
(waves in only a few days left until Tears of the Kingdom and am looking up videos to whet my whistle before the game drops)
I think you can call it a Zelda game because it’s canon. I get your review but I might just buy it to show BOTW devs how much I love there world
Many years since Ocarina of Time and Link still has no English voice actor. Seriously enough of silent Link he needs an English voice actor. I could do it if you need someone or better yet hire Yuri Lowenthal my pick he would nail it guaranteed he would just need to change his voice to sound different from Marth.
i feel like the spin attack is rlly underrated (hold x)
I'm still playing breath of the wild but I might get this after.
I'm a hack and slash fan, and the demo for this game showed that it took a pretty large leap foward compared to the og hyrule warriors (which I was relatively disappointed with) so I will def be getting it!
It is worth it! Played the demo and made a montage you guys can check my videos
totally agree with the divine beasts part...skipped all their not required missions as they are not as fun to play
Heelo there lovely people
Game looks pretty awesome, will be fun to dig into this one in 2 days.
Blasts from my rod you say....
The internet is renaming your boat Spoily McSpoilface
TBH this is less interesting to me than Hyrule Warriors because BotW's atmosphere and bits and bobs and doohickies have gotten stale for me. I prefer the magnum opus of content spanning all the franchise rather than BotW scrapped of its gameplay.
So... I think I finished the game... pretty sure I did, and not once did I feel I was playing Hyrule Warriors. It is a decent game, just does not feel like Hyrule warriors. To many missing features to call it that. Other than that, Pregnant/Fat Zelda is like the new Tingle : SUPER ANNOYING! They need to update the game with a way to shut her mouth! Really... every single attack equals talk! Chaining attacks just makes playing her worse. Did anyone really feel like this game had any resemblance to Hyrule Warriors after completing the game? Cause after 100 hours, I just chucked it in my drawer, while I have over 450 hours on Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. Lame!
50% of why I click on these videos is to hear "HEEELLLLOOOO LOVELY PEOPLE"
They ruined the story. What a joke... I had to cancel my preorder and now Im just depressed because this was the only thing I was excited for...
very disappointed in this video... you guys said no spoilers but the first thing you see is Link in a totally different colored clothes, if you guys kept the original color at least that wouldn't have been so bad... but the worst "spoiler" that you guys showed was that Hestu was playable...
you guys might not think that is such a bad thing but it totally gives away that you can play him... it hurt cause I used to trust you guys for spoiler-free reviews...
Short answer: yes
Long Anwser: Yes Yes
The cadence of hyrule comparison is rather interesting. Thank you!
Wait is this a lore accurate Link fighting hundred enemies like a badass 😂
I really hope botw 2 gives us a variety of new lands and areas because I’m getting to accustomed to this world.
got bad news for you
Well I was playing the demo and I was impressed. I just never buy it and probably never will because of the unforgivable framerate bulshitery when you just walk let alone do anything else rather then looking at the ground while standing still....
Hylian here! Who lives in Zora's Domain here?
What was you gagging on?
I has a crush on revali, because he's my rito warrior boyfriend
I put my phone face down on the table to listen to the review and still didn't manage to get through without hearing things I didn't wanna know yet. Not full-blown spoilers but still.
Don't go on Reddit or even Google. Spoilers everywhere.
Spoiler: Pikachu kills the Domino's Pizza Miku app but Kirito from dragonball resurrects it using the master torch
Omg you can actually play as Hestu?
