Both Black Myth: Wukong and the new God of War titles take a similar approach to action as well as progression, and both lean heavily into mythological lore, even if it's switched from Norse to Chinese. If you like one of these games, it's likely you'll like the other, but maybe don't play them back to back for fear of burn

Sanzang is supposed to be a male monk, but because of the Japanese translation’s ambiguous use of gender, he’s often turned up in their media as a woman, be it as Dragon Ball ’s Bulma, Warriors Orochi 3 ’s Sanzang, or in the 1978 Monkey series. This show actually made it abroad to the West, where Ninja Theory continued the trend for Enslaved: Odyssey to the We

Continue along the main path and cross the wooden bridge. You'll encounter an enemy in your path — defeat it, and a cutscene will play where you meet another monkey. Don’t worry, he isn’t an enemy; rather, he’s a merchant who sells valuable items. However, don’t follow him just yet. Instead, take the bridge to the left and open the chest to acquire valuable resources.

Wait, wasn’t Mega Man: The Wily Wars just a Genesis remake of the first 3 NES games ? Well, yes. However, that was only part of the story. After beating all 3 remade games, it would unlock a new section called ‘The Wily Tower,’ where Mega Man could choose any of the weapons from MM’s 1-3 to tackle its sta

As a result, requests for the addition of a mini-map have become prevalent within the community. With numerous hidden secrets, optional bosses, treasure chests, and collectibles scattered across vast areas, the lack of any tracking system can frustrate players, especially when they're searching for a missing meditation point . While fans have already created their own external interactive map for the game, it would be ideal if the developers addressed this oversight in future upda

Around every corner of Black Myth: Wukong you'll be running into hordes of enemies that all need taking down and all in-between bombastic boss encounters, and if you want something just as flashy, then getting into Bayonetta is a perfect switch in p

Another issue that hampers exploration in Black Myth: Wukong is the abundance of invisible walls , which break immersion and make navigating the game world even more difficult without a map. Frequently, players find themselves unable to progress despite the environment appearing passable. Conversely, some players might dismiss certain pathways, assuming they lead nowhere, only to miss out on hidden treasure chests or secret areas. This inconsistency makes exploration in Black Myth Wukong Abilities Myth: Wukong occasionally feel lackluster, leading players to wonder how much better the experience could have b

With a unique laser-sword-focused approach to action, you'll control Travis Touchdown as he strives to work his way up the ranking of assassins while earning money doing mundane jobs around the city. While the original Wii game has aged considerably, even though you can play through the jank, it's worth picking up the modern ports to see if this underappreciated series is for

Enslaved had stunning, vibrant graphics for its time, though its story was a relatively moody affair. The original Journey to the West novel, while not always sunshine and rainbows with its murder and monsters, had plenty of comedy in it (usually through Bajie and Monkey’s bickering childishness). Unruly Heroes plays up the novel’s lighter aspects by taking it in a more cartoony, fun-filled direct

It's no secret that Black Myth: Wukong has been a rousing success since launching earlier this week . According to the data housed at SteamDB, Black Myth: Wukong has achieved a 2.4 million all-time concurrent peak , which is good enough for second all-time on Steam, beating out the likes of Counter-Strike 2 and Cyberpunk 2

Black Myth: Wukong has captured gamers' attention since its reveal four years ago. All the released footage looked impressive, which led some players to doubt whether the actual game could live up to the hype. Despite being the debut title from Chinese developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong delivered exactly as promised. Players are impressed with standout features such as top-notch graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, fast-paced and varied combat, and well-crafted boss fights with little to no repetit

After defeating Guangmou , you’ll notice three paths: the one you came from, a path with a Torii gate, and a set of stairs leading upward. For now, take the stairs and interact with the bell — this is the second bell in Black Wind Mountain (Chapter 1).

Let's not kid ourselves; the real allure is about the bosses. There is a staggering number of different bosses you can run into throughout Black Myth: Wukong, to the point that it's surprising when you've gone a while without running into one, but which are the best of the b

One standout was Saiyuki: Journey West , a tactical RPG akin to Final Fantasy Tactics , where Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing could use their transformations in battle, with Sanzang as the healer. It didn’t set the world on fire back in the day, being a PS1 game released nearly a year after the PS2's launch. Still, Gamespot liked it enough to nominate it for their ‘Best Game No One Played’ prize at their 2001 awa
