The environment and level design was called the game's " biggest detractor ". The area in question could have just had a full "cliff face, instead of a path with an invisible wall," it was suggested, with the fact that there are "steep rock faces on either side of the path," making the decision even stran

One of the first full-length animated movies to make it to the United States from Japan, Alakazam the Great is an interpretation of the novel that makes Goku the hero and leaves out the details regarding the Buddhist relics. Instead, it follows Goku's rise to the kingship of the Monkey Tribe and how he becomes arrogant, and even tyrannical, only to learn some important lessons and change his w

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

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.

Interact with the Back Hills Keeper’s Shrine and rest to regain your health, mana, and gourd . Afterward, proceed down the stairs, but instead of moving forward, take the narrow path to your left and head into the cave.

Another Armor set acquirable in Chapter 2, is the Ochre Armor, forming the Raging Sandstorm set. This is a great piece with elemental defenses, providing Chill Resistance, which will serve you well in the snowy New West of Chapter 3. For players who enjoy using Spells, particularly Cloud Step and Pluck of Many , (the latter given to you by the Headless Monk in Black Myth: Wukong ), this set is the best p

Your journey in Black Myth: Wukong is long and unforgiving. As expected, the Bamboo Grove — the second region of Chapter 1 — is significantly more challenging and complex than its predecessor. Fear not, as the walkthrough below details everything you need to know about this area.

By all accounts, Black Myth: Wukong has been a resounding success.

This would ease exploration, especially for completioni
