Dude this game is not your conservative gaming Jesus. As if Black Myth Wukong’s success is the deciding factor in how the trends in American culture will sway. Also just worth noting that the Chinese are generally EXTREMELY xenophobic and racist. So if you want more of that I guess hell yeah brother you do you 🫡
9:17 Honestly this doesn't bother me. I think part of what hinders a lot of modern games is this weird obsession with trying to force mechanics into a game for the sake of realism. I'm fine playing a game that's mostly linear and doesn't have day/night cycles. I can immerse myself in a game as long as the style and aesthetic shine through.
Where did u see that 70% ? U souls fans are the dumbest to exist in Gaming industry comparing every game to souls like . if God of war released now u would have said God of war is a souls type genre game 🤡🤣
Yeah it's a completely shit review man It's nothing like a souls game... In no way is this like a demon souls or elden ring... And the fact that he compared the combat to sekiro And then in the next sentence said there's no parrying 😂 ...sekiro's whole entire combat was centered around fkn parrying!!! Lol these reviewers are just lazy man anytime a new game comes out and it's somewhat difficult combat they say it's a souls game This is nothing like a souls game it's an action RPG if it's going to be compared to anything it's closer to a God of war or something along those lines stop calling it a souls game...
Oh my God I'm so sick of people comparing this to a souls game It's nothing like a souls game... This is not even in the same universe as elden Ring or a demon souls or shit even a sekiro for that matter... How can you say it's combat is like sekiro And then in the next sentence say there's no Parry....what?!?! The whole fucking game is centered around parrying in sekiro.... Anytime a new game comes out and it's somewhat difficult combat it's called the souls game It's the most annoying shit in the world... This is an action RPG It's more along the lines of a God of War than it is a souls game people need to stop saying that shit

People don’t understand for game reviewers obtaining a game early on console without a disk is hard right??? Sony themselves have to bypass things so the reviewers could play the game before the digital release because as people know this isn’t getting a disk off the beginning because number one , it is game science first game, number 2 China manufacturing laws for games and etc are different then in the west after time they said they will release disk but how do people expect game reviewers to play console early?? Oh here you go put this code in and it just bypasses everything and let’s just the reviewer play a digital only version of the game…. No I’m sorry but that’s not how things work. Most and every console game you have heard early reviews for is from them flying out to the developers themselves or getting an early copy of a disk. It’s not just some code you put in and boom you have a developer version of the game only a game reviewer can access not how these things work. There is many things that play into this if people actually sat down to think about it
I am very very disappointed to hear 👂 that Sun WuKong is silent, Monkey King isn't Link from the legend of Zelda. Monkey King is a very vocal character. Someone who calls himself handsome Monkey King and great Sage equal to heaven is not a quiet character. They screwed up doing that. Now the game maybe awesome and great but if he is quite like you said I truly hope that we don't play as the real Son WuKong because monkey is not silent, he's the kind of person that screaming at your front door come out, and bow down to your great grandfather. 😂 i know Monkey King very well. Still can't wait to play this game.
What if it’s not the monkey king? What if they subvert that by the end of the game? What if we just think he’s the monkey king come back? Idk 🤷 just throwing out the questions
Wukong was never named "Monkey God". His original title was "Monkey King" when he was the leader of the monkey guild in the Hua Shan mountain where he was born. When he completed Journey to the West with his sifu and brothers, he was awarded the title "Victorious Fighting Buddha" by the Jade Emperor (so you can see the difference clearly - Buddha is not similar to God). If you truly want to make contents out of something please research carefully and respect the original novel and its author.
I am pleasantly surprised by your understanding of Journey to the West, but you may have mistaken some small details. Sun Wukong was born on Huaguo Mountain, where "Huaguo" means flowers and fruits. The Buddha bestowed upon him the title of "Victorious Fighting Buddha" . The Jade Emperor bestowed upon him the title of the “ Great Sage Equal to Heaven”.

Not being soulslike is not a con.
I love the twin blade wolf transformation. I hope these transformations remain useful throughout my playthrough
That is two blade rat transformation.

No ps5 reviews yet,so I’m not getting overly exited with these top end PC reviews!

It runs well on the steam deck so I doubt it will be bad on ps5
