Hei shen hua: Wu kong

Assuming the role as staff-wielding primate Destined One, 'Black Myth: Wukong' is a world worth wandering. I've seen it compared to FromSoftware titles but it's not nearly difficult enough to warrant as such, and it's all the better for it. It is first and foremost an adventure, more inviting than punishing. Where it does take a page from the Soulslikes; however, is in the manner of which so much content is below the surface and between the lines. You could blast through the game in just under a day as a boss rush, or you could spend the better part of a week hunting down every boss, collectible, and NPC. It's not so much a story being straightforward with you as it is a sprinkling of parables left to you to solve, which leads to as much active interpretation as it does passive enjoyment.

The game shines at its best and brightest in boss fights. There are 81 of them, all of which are simply sensational spectacles. Some are rehashed and repetitive, but the audio-visual view is delightful. Gyrating, sparkling dragons spiraling through the air. A corrupted buddha placing his palm on the plains leads to pulsing, splintering, and erupting.

I'm not particularly familiar with the source text 'Journey to the West,' but I'm inclined to learn based on the gorgeous reconstruction of the world. Each and every area is dripping with detail - vivacious forests and subdued snowfields, intricate temples and rugged rock faces. Demystifying what will come next makes for a pretty powerful lure.

In conclusion, 'Black Myth: Wukong' is a true triumph. It looks and plays as good as advertised, as if GameScience was bursting onto the scene and declaring: "Every other developer has got some stiff competition." I'm hearing them out, and you should be, too.

This is what it means to make a game with love and care and not political and social BIAS. The passion of every person that worked in this AAA title can be felt in every sound design, map, character, and gameplay dynamic.

I was lucky enough to play it at it's surreal graphics peak, almost burning my PC a couple of times but it was worth every small heart attack i had.

This game hands on is what the gaming industry should be and what gamers expect from other gamming companies. Take your time be diligent and listen to the community as you create a rich story and gameplay dynamic free of imposing personal, social and political Ideologies.

Game of the year for sure and i hope this game can win an Academy award for best Short films.

I hope you all can enjoy this amazing game and it's story. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna read some Journey To the West.

Hands down one of the best games of the year! After the let downs of earlier this year, it was definitely a breath of fresh air. You may have heard this, but it's kind of a cross between God of War with souls-like elements. It takes a few min to figure stuff out, and when you have it down, they add a new thing in. So it's always growing in the options you can access. Death is very forgiving, and even aids you on your journey. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I think one of my favorite parts though is the journal or compendium. It shares myths regarding the yaoguai you come across, and that helps build the story.

Great game about the monkey king.

It has a unique way of playing with more than 100 Bosses!

Great graphics, Great story, Great cinematic.

Alot of secrets and it has 2 different endings.

I really enjoy the action of fighting, you can have different weapons (Ruyi Jingu Bang - Staffs) many upgrades with awesome looking.

The game is kind of God of war but still different.. Worth getting the platinum Trophy 🏆 I would recommend to anyone like action games to give it a try and you wont get be disappointed and its so addictive, for me i cant switch to another game and waiting for the DLC to be release..

I first came across this game while watching faze jev and thought it looked extremely dope, the details on the bosses and every thing and I got hooked immediately. Your quest of the game is to get all the six relics that wukong had left behind after his passing (not a spoiler it's in the first scene). The game takes you on 6 chapters that are all unique and with different bosses. And I was very amazed by how they did the rat king and his brother. It has to have one of the most badass bosses I have ever seen in a game. The game isn't that hard although my hand and desktop that now has a big hole in it says different. I would say that this game has a difficulty of more god of war/elden ring

The biggest problem I had with this game is the frame rate drops on some of the bosses. As an example the secret boss in chapter 5 was extremely hard due to the frame rate. I play on ps5 and I have never had this problem before on any other game, so this was a big bummer for me.

But still and excellent game and had very fun beating it and recommend it to anyone up to a challenge!
