I am not a gamer, but love Breath of the Wild (BOTW). I had not played a video game in years til playing BOTW. I bought Age of Calamity (AoC) thinking of experiencing the same game play as BOTW but was sadly disappointed. Bottom line is, I 100% agree with every 1 star review. AoC is lacking in storyline, overall game play experience, and entertaining satisfaction. I feel like I send most of my time mashing buttons. Breakdown: 1. Storyline is rushed. Having not played a ton of games, the start point for AoC came off as very lazily developed. 2. Game play, having only played BOTW, I was disappointed that the game is solely focused on big battles. I like the one character game play, but not needing to jump from character to character. It would have been cool just having Link fight side by side with each on the hero’s. Don’t get me wrong, playing those characters is kinda cool, but not the reason I enjoyed BOTW. 3. Why does Link do fight moves in AoC that he doesn’t do in BOTW? Not cool. I think in should have been the other way around. Seem as if the Link devolved in his abilities in BOTW. Lastly AoC has a Smash Brothers feel to it that if I wanted to play Smash Brothers, I would not play AoC. Just saying.
