Best Games Inspired By Journey To The West, Ranked

Steelrising is a AA soulslike and the first foray into the genre by Spiders, a studio better known for traditional RPGs like Greedfall . While the overall experience may not be groundbreaking and can feel a bit clunky at times, the game's unique setting during the French Revolution, combined with an automaton uprising, offers intriguing boss designs that help captivate play

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

This character was brought to life by Mark Ota, who has only had a couple other roles in the video game industry, but one you might recognize if you're a fan of the Ace Attorney series is Ryunosuke Naruhodo, the protagonist of the two prequel games, The Great Ace Attorney Chronic

They had to choose wisely, as at the end of its stages, they’d face a boss based on Journey to the West ’s heroes. The aquabot Mega Water.S, based on Sha Wujing, would dive and blast Mega Man with water jets. Hyper Storm.H uses his bulk to barge into Mega Man, though he's just as dim as his book counterpart, Zhu Bajie. Then, Buster Rod.G swings his rod and clones himself like Wuk

But, if players wanted to see those influences more overtly, one of the best ways outside the show itself would be Dragon Ball: Origins . The DS Zelda- like saw Goku’s first meetings with his friends, some closer to the book than others — Oolong’s introduction is almost 1:1 to Bajie’s debut in the novel, while others take more artistic license, like Erlang Shen inspiring Tien, or Wujing's ugly river ogre becoming the desert-dwelling Yam

There is still some exploration, but the levels in all three Bayonetta titles are a lot more linear, and you'll instead be focusing on the action to get to the bosses at the end. If you loved getting to take on interesting enemies but maybe want something with a little more action that's a bit more linear, then any Bayonetta title is id

(Untitled)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

While our protagonist, The Destined One, is a silent hero, that's not to say that we don't get any personality from our favourite monkey warrior. Of course, he can't help but find himself in trouble around every corner (considering the game's colossal boss count, it makes sense, though), but he's always willing to help put things ri

With large SSD hard drives being cheaper than ever, it isn't the worst time for game file sizes to be beefier than a cow, but if every AAA game coming out is over 100GB in size, it will be difficult to have much of a library of downloaded games if players aren't into the indie scene. A 1TB SSD might not even get players ten downloaded games now, especially on a PC where file sizes tend to be larger for extra graphics settings, and that's ignoring the later updates that come with many tit

The Warriors Orochi series are basically Dynasty Warriors Vs Samurai Warriors , with some Sino-Japanese history and mythology thrown in. Sun Wukong turned up in Warriors Orochi 2 as a playable bad guy since the main villain, Taira Kiyomori, freed him from serving Sanzang and Nezha. Sanzang turned up in the PSP update, though it took Warriors Orochi 3 and its Ultimate update to go dee

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

Our titular character Sun Wukong, while not the character you spend the majority of the game playing as (that honour goes to our largely silent protagonist The Destined One), we still get to hear plenty of his voice throughout different cutsce

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 Thunderclap Temple Walkthrough section called ‘The Wily Tower,’ where Mega Man could choose any of the weapons from MM’s 1-3 to tackle its sta
