Video Game Review: Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity

Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity.jpg


I just beat this great game. It's basically a Warriors game like Dynasty Warriors which I love. This game is a bit more involved than the first Hyrule Warriors however. I really like how they incorporated Breath of the Wild's Sheikah Slate abilities into combat. Those being Magnesis, Cryonis, Stasis, and Bomb. When you fight tough enemies you'll see a symbol above them briefly which tells you which to use on them. It takes a while to get used to but I really like the depth it provides.

The story shows us the events that led up to the Great Calamity as noted in Breath of the Wild. I'd like to avoid spoilers here as its really nice to play through but lets just say you change history in your attempt to defeat the forces of Calamity Ganon. There's lots of playable characters and they do feel pretty different from one another. Most times you can just play as Link but I found Zelda to be a great character after she awakens her sealing power.

I also didnt mention you can control all four of the divine beasts. The missions are fun but you're rarely challenged while using them until later in the game. It's great to destroy tough enemies that would otherwise take a while to kill. That's actually one of my complaints as tough enemies tend to have lots and lots of health. You basically get their health low and then you can unleash weak point attacks to get their health lower quicker. 

All in all this is a great game for a Zelda fan or a fan of Dynasty Warriors. I understand its not for everyone but you should at least give this game a try. I don't have a whole lot to say here but that's again to avoid spoilers. The game is not easy but it has checkpoints that generally are fair.

Verdict: 9/10

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good.  I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
