PeanutButterGamer Zelda Month Review of Tri Force Heroes

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Alexis Anderson

Tri Force Heroes was released just in time for Zelda Month and PeanutButterGamer didn’t miss a beat with this timely and hilarious review of the title. PBG admits that he avoided watching commercials and reading news about Tri Force Heroes so that he could form an opinion on the game that was entirely his own, so he maintains a unique perspective on it; he shares his opinion of the game’s humour, single player vs. multiplayer experiences, and of course its costume mechanic. This video is also a perfect overview of the game for anyone who hasn’t been introduced to Tri Force Heroes yet.

Posted on August 29, 2014 by Mases Hagopian

A few weeks back Famitsu Magazine gave us the first review of Hyrule Warriors, with all four reviewers scoring the game as a 9/10, which gave it a collect review score of 36/40. We now have our second review, this one coming from Anime Globe, and they didn’t have the same attitude about the game.

The review itself doesn’t go into great detail, but it does praise both the Adventure Mode, as well as the games great soundtrack. The reviewer stated that if you are a fan of beat’em ups, or the Dynasty Warriors series, than you’ll likely enjoy Hyrule Warriors. However, if you aren’t a fan of that genre, you might be better off skipping Hyrule Warriors.
