What’s lost in the move towards an individually-centered story spread across a massive open world far outweighs the minor benefits that are gained. While the excellent button-mashing gameplay stays intact with great tweaks and additions, it wasn’t enough. The lack of multiplayer, missing alternate game modes, and emptiness of ancient China left me far from satisfied.","2025-02-06T10:47:02.324016-05:00",{"id":216,"logo":259,"name":260,"slug":261,"tags":211,"bluesky":262,"twitter":260,"youtube":263,"facebook":260,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":264,"website_url":265,"score_format":46,"average_score":266,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":267,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":268,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","ign","ign.com","@IGN","We're all about video games, movies, TV, and comics!","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F",76,"Los Angeles","United States",{"id":270,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":138,"author":271,"original_score":277,"normalized_score":278,"review_url":279,"review_date":255,"summary":280,"created_at":281,"updated_at":281,"author_id":272,"last_edited_at":281,"outlet":282},77849,{"id":272,"bio":26,"name":273,"avg_score":274,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":275,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":276,"claim_token":26,"article_count":176,"claimed_by_user_id":26},5582,"Jim Hargreaves",64.63855421686748,"2025-02-05T22:00:57.16195-05:00","2026-07-25T08:03:52.664406-04:00","5.0",50,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F2018\u002F02\u002F13\u002Fdynasty-warriors-9-review\u002F","The sound work is more of a mixed bag, however.

There’s something whimsical about this game that reminds me of why I love this series.  Dynasty Warriors 9 has all the series’ flavoring that makes it fun. The corny dialogue and bravado speeches give the characters personality. The combat is repetitive but it’s still fun to cut through thousands of virtual troops. Dynasty Warriors 9 is a series of skirmishes building up to something grand. Sometimes I was satisfied, but most of time the payoff was dull and forgettable. That’s the story of my relationship with the Dynasty Warriors series. I’ve bounced from game to game hoping each entry would deliver on something impressive. Instead, I’m left feeling somewhat happy but mostly let down by a series I remain loyal to.","2025-05-19T21:39:05.101381-04:00",{"id":466,"logo":479,"name":480,"slug":481,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":481,"youtube":482,"facebook":481,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":483,"website_url":484,"score_format":132,"average_score":192,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":485,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":268,"reviews_editor_email":486,"editor_in_chief_email":487,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fmonstervine-logo.png","MonsterVine","monstervine","@MonsterVineOfficial","We Cover Video Game News, Reviews, Previews, and More.","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F","austin@monstervine.com","will@monstervine.com","diego@monstervine.com",{"id":489,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":490,"author":491,"original_score":497,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":498,"review_date":255,"summary":499,"created_at":500,"updated_at":500,"author_id":492,"last_edited_at":68,"outlet":501},27322,28,{"id":492,"bio":26,"name":493,"avg_score":395,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":494,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":495,"claim_token":26,"article_count":496,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2909,"James Swinbanks","2024-12-04T13:46:31.229516-05:00","2024-12-04T13:52:35.81771-05:00",18,"7.0","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com\u002Freviews\u002Fdynasty-warriors-9-review-a-new-world\u002F1900-6416854\u002F","Let the bodies hit the floor.","2024-12-04T13:50:35.162669-05:00",{"id":490,"logo":502,"name":503,"slug":504,"tags":211,"bluesky":505,"twitter":503,"youtube":504,"facebook":503,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":506,"website_url":507,"score_format":46,"average_score":85,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":508,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpot-Logo.jpg","GameSpot","gamespot","gamespot.com","GameSpot is the world's leading source for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, Wii, PC, 3DS, and DS video game news, reviews, previews, trailers, walkthroughs, and more.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com","thussain@fandom.com",{"id":510,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":278,"author":511,"original_score":517,"normalized_score":151,"review_url":518,"review_date":255,"summary":519,"created_at":520,"updated_at":520,"author_id":512,"last_edited_at":520,"outlet":521},38329,{"id":512,"bio":26,"name":513,"avg_score":514,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":515,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":516,"claim_token":26,"article_count":142,"claimed_by_user_id":26},3753,"Jelani James",77.4074074074074,"2025-01-16T10:30:08.678643-05:00","2025-01-16T10:47:12.732614-05:00","3.0","https:\u002F\u002Fattackofthefanboy.com\u002Freviews\u002Fdynasty-warriors-9-review\u002F","Dynasty Warriors 9 felt more like an experiment than a single, cohesive experience.
