[2014 Top Pickz] Most Absorbing Game: Hyrule Warriors

I’m cheating a little by naming a game I haven’t got around to reviewing yet, but it’s amazing just how addictive this game can be. And when you say “just one more map”, that can take up to 20 minutes or more. But you just don’t want to stop!

On the small scale, you have to be thinking about what moves to use when; on the medium scale, you have to watch the map and your objectives; on the large scale, there’s always something to work towards unlocking or collecting; on the even larger scale the regular releases of DLC keep you coming back with more things to look forward to.

As my first Dynasty Warriors game, I’ve had a great time learning the mechanics and how it plays. And as a Zelda game, the items, locations, characters, and music really appeal to me as a fan. Basically the game has lots to love and although I could never be sure about it before playing it, I’ve found it completely captivating. Or absorbing if you like, hence the award.
