It is a rare thing when a game ends up looking as good as the initial trailers promised, but Black Myth: Wukong _ **** _ has delivered where many games have not. The graphical fidelity and visuals of the title cannot be overstated, and the scale of its intro alone shows players the kind of work and detail that went into the title, presenting Wukong as the divinely powerful being that he is in the Journey to the West novel. It's all impressive work, but this level of graphical fidelity and scale comes at a c

After a brief cutscene, you'll transform into a Golden Cicada. Use this form to bypass enemies and continue forward until you encounter a turquoise-colored boss. Don’t fight it yet; instead, take the left path until you reach a Torii Gate. If you have trouble finding it, transform it back to your normal form and explore the area until you do.

It's a clever twist to switch out the ancient Buddhist texts with human beings, but that's not the only similarity. The character of Mushra, one of the three figures that guards and guides the main character, isn't a monkey, but retains the features of a staff as a weapon and the distinctive golden headb

Once getting to the end of the secret quest line in Chapter Dragon's Dogma 2 vocations of Black Myth: Wukong, you'll be set loose on a massive desert that screams boss arena as soon as you look at it.

After you defeat him, another cutscene will play, and you'll be plunged into the game’s first chapter, Black Cloud, Red Fire, which takes place in the Black Wind Mountain region (specifically in the Forest of Wolves subregion ).

The complaints weren't limited to Reddit either. In Black Myth: Wukong's Steam reviews , players were quick to point out that one of the biggest cons is that "invisible walls are especially noticeable in the first chapter," and that it's "Annoying to see something that looks like a cave, but has an invisible wall five feet in front of

Spam the Immobilize Spell whenever its cooldown finishes, and follow up with heavy attacks. While Lingxuzi isn’t the toughest boss in Black Myth: Wukong , he may still take a few tries to defeat.

These are but a few examples of games asking for over a tenth of a 1TB SSD, which should be a lot of storage, but with the way that gaming is going, file sizes are only going to increase . This seems to be a sacrifice needed for the new era of gaming engines and the graphical fidelity that they now come with. Players are getting spoiled with path tracing, high-poly models, and 4K textures, but will have to spend most of the day hogging the internet to download this new era of games, especially if their internet isn't spectacu

Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g

Playing as Bo, you'll explore a short and sweet 2D Metroidvania map inspired by classic Japanese mythology, with some tricky platforming and challenging boss encounters. It takes less than ten hours to complete , making it a perfect refresher after the massive journey that is Black Myth: Wuk

Invisible walls are nothing new in video games. They've been around for years, preventing players from reaching areas and locations they're not supposed to. Not many are as frustrating as Black Myth: Wukong's, howe
