By all accounts, Black Myth: Wukong has been a resounding success. It smashed the record for most concurrent players in a single-player game on Steam , beating the four-year-old record set by Cyberpunk 2077 , sold ten million copies in three days , and scored a very respectable 81 on Metacritic . Not bad for a studio's debut g

While players can always farm more Will and Blood of the Iron Bull from enemies, the ability to freely respec Cultivated Spirits — even if it only returns part of the investment — would be a valuable addition. It would encourage more experimentation with different Spirits and make this aspect of the game more dynamic and engag

One of the earliest spells that you will unlock is Cloud Step , and it's a useful utility to give yourself a chance to breathe in some of the game's more intense battles. You'll spawn a decoy and have a moment to freely move around and do whatever you need to before rejoining the fight with a powerful attack with a high chance of stunning the

Part history, part fantasy, part comedy, and part religious treatise, Wu Cheng’en’s Journey to the West is an iconic piece of Chinese literature. Based loosely on the priest Xuanzeng’s real pilgrimage to India, it spiced up proceedings by giving the monk Sanzang three divine protectors in the river ogre Sha Wujing, the pig demon Zhu Bajie, and the magic monkey Sun Wuk

A lack of a mini-map or compass was lamented by players and suggested as a simple solution to this issue. As was having the barriers glow a particular color when approached to make it clear the area was a no-go zone. Whatever the reason for it, though, this design choice is an odd

But once you've dealt enough damage, it'll reveal its true form as a grotesque bug with an elongated tail shaped like a hand. The difficulty will ramp up, but this fight is so memorable for the reveal, and it likely won't cause much trouble. In fact, once you've beaten it, the beast acts as a pretty useful bri

Approaching a valley, which is almost as wide as the player's screen and that looks like a walkway to a new area, the player is suddenly and abruptly hit by an invisible barrier, preventing them from going any further. Despite their best efforts to circumnavigate it, they found it's truly a dead end and just one of the many examples of this issue within the g

Granting The Destined One the ability to freeze any enemy in the middle of their movements, Immobilize lets you dive in and do massive damage before your rival eventually escapes the spell. There are some enemies that have attacks that mean the ability doesn't work on them, but most of the time, Immobilize is a great way to do massive damage or even just give yourself a chance to heal. Best of all, it casts quickly and doesn't cost much Mana eit

Compared to previous bosses, Tiger Vanguard has an incredibly varied moveset, and with the speed of his actions, you'll be forced to learn his patterns to even stand a chance of survival. Getting a new spell makes it all worthwhile once you finally beat him, but he still remains one of the trickiest hurdles to overc

Once getting to the end of the secret quest line in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong, you'll be set loose on a massive desert that screams boss arena as soon as you look at it. At this point, you'll have heard about Fuban, and be ready and equipped to take on this gargantuan scarab bee

The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn't be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e

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

But, if players wanted to see those influences more overtly, one of the best ways outside the show itself would be dragon ball Z Kakarot 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

The core of Black Myth: Wukong is combat, and there are plenty of different abilities and items that The Destined One can equip to make every fight different . The one aspect that adds the most variety to combat is the spells, as they each add a new layer to consider when taking on different f
