With the majority of God of War (2018) 's narrative and gameplay experience, players would be accompanied by the Ghost of Sparta's son Atreus. Considering the large amount of success that stemmed from this, Santa Monica followed this up in Ragnarok , not only with Atreus as an ally but also with Fr

With Kratos wielding the Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and the Draupnir Spear , players have a plethora of special abilities to choose from for each in God of War Ragnarok . These are primarily used to stun enemies or bosses at much faster rates and maintain separate cooldowns, and players will largely benefit from upgrading their preferred skills throughout the jour

Some of the most fun abilities to build your playstyle around in Black Myth: Wukong are the ones that transform The Destined One, whether that's short Spirit attacks, or the slightly longer Transformation spel

Black Myth: Wukong follows in the same vein as the critically acclaimed PlayStation title, not only with its epic opening segment boss battle playing as Wukong but continues to produce high-quality boss encounters throughout its runtime. This is especially thanks to Unreal Engine 5 , providing almost lifelike sequences on scr

One set that you can easily get attached to is the Galeguard Beastmaw Armor set, which gives The Destined One extra buffs for perfect dodging. If you have two pieces of the set equipped, you'll get more focus added to the meter every time you perfect dodge, and with the full set you'll get a reduction on your spell cooldown every time you pull off the manoeu

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty places you in a fictionalized period set before the fall of the Han Dynasty. Much like Nioh, Fallen Dynasty combines a real story from China's history with the supernatural. Throughout the game, you battle historical characters -- like Feng Xi and Zhang Liang -- and creatures from Chinese mythology like Zhu Yan and Taotie. Artistically, the game is beautiful. The combat is fast-paced and complex -- you must deflect attacks in order to successfully counter an enemy's attack.

From the creators of Nioh (also mentioned on this list), Rise of the Ronin is set in the mid-19th century, during the Bakumatsu era of Japan's history. History is heavily intertwined throughout the game: in your journey, you visit cities like Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo as they appeared during this time period, and you fight with weapons that include katanas and authentic Boshin war firearms. You'll meet the faces of several political factions -- including the Sabaku, pro-shogunate; Tobaku, anti-shogunate; and Obei, western forces -- and your choices to side with or fight against members of these parties will influence the way your story plays out.

If you only have two pieces on, you'll get the straightforward (but still useful) bonus damage on Pillar Stance attacks, but if you have the whole set, you're going to get an increase for all damage dealt, but also take more damage too. This is great if you're confident in your dodging ability, but if not, you're going to be spending a lot more time healing than us

Part of the reason why combat in chapter 3 black myth wukong Myth: Wukong is so enjoyable is thanks to the wide variety of options The Destined One has in combat. Whether it's spells , stances, spirits, or vessels, there are plenty of ways you can switch up your play st

Much like how Black Myth: Wukong is rooted in Chinese mythology, 2018's God of War is inspired by Norse mythology. You'll explore six of the nine realms of Norse mythology -- Midgard, Alfheim, Helheim, Jötunheim , Niflheim and Muspelheim -- defeating bosses that range from Ancients to Valkyries along the way.

Preparation for this fight is pretty simple, as The First Prince doesn't inflict status effects, or really require any particular gimmicks that you should build around. Basically, the First Prince is just a big, beefy boy who tanks your hits and hits back twice as hard. So, you will want to be decked out in the most substantial armor you have access to build and the hardest-hitting weapon you have at your disposal.

For example, the Ochre set of armor only needs three pieces of the set to be equipped (leaving a spot free for a miscellaneous mask of your choice) to get it's buff, which adds extra damage reduction to your decoy from Cloud Step and any duplicates created by A Pluck of Ma

Players will battle Buddha's Right Hand in a corridor to the left of the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper's Shrine . To reach that checkpoint, fans of adventure games must simply follow the path that leads out of Centipede Guai arena.

Another fantastic three-piece armor set to keep an eye out for is the Loongscale set. There are certain sets of armor that are perfect for taking on specific bosses or particular areas of the map that will inflict different ba

A prime example of this is Ashen Slumber , the ability that allows you to transform into the fire-breathing Third Prince. Depending on when you try and find this transformation, the boss fight might have already been completed, and all you'll need to do is raid his corpse, but even getting to that point requires a lot of seemingly random backtracking before you get the new f
