Black Myth: Wukong Looks Amazing, But Its Graphics Have A Major Problem

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

Black Myth: Wukong 's size of 130GB (or 128.68 GB to be precise) on Steam and 104GB on PS5 may be beefy, but it is hardly uncommon now. Two massive releases from last year are comparable in size: Starfield, at an impressive 125GB on Steam, and Baldur's Gate 3 , at a hefty 150GB on Steam, but these two titles are open-world adventures that can take over one hundred hours. Black Myth: Wukong is more linear, taking anywhere from 30–35 hours to beat , showing how much extra room the incredible graphics and massive scale of visuals requ

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

The atmosphere in the deserts of Chapter 2 could easily be quite draining during your Journey to The West game as The Destined One, but that's why it's so great that you have the Headless Monk to add some levity to the chapter's darker mome

Often taking the role of The Destined One's voice, we have his short in stature but big on spirit occasional companion Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie will often be found at The Destined One's side, quipping and commenting on the events around them, sometimes even talking over other charact

One of the fun things about playing plenty of different games is that you'll start to notice on occasion that some voices might show up in different games you've played, so where might you have heard the cast of Black Myth: Wukong bef

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 original Lords of the Fallen was one of the earliest action-RPGs to fully embrace the Dark Souls formula, though it offered little innovation beyond that. While the overall game lacked distinct features, the boss fights alone could make the journey worthwhile. These imposing enemies, often towering in size and lethally powerful, create an exhilarating experience as players carefully circle them, waiting for the perfect moment to str

Darksiders 3 marked Gunfire Games' early attempt at incorporating soulslike elements , which they later refined in the Remnant series. As such, it's no surprise that Darksiders 3 feels like a transitional game — caught between the action roots of the Darksiders series and some distinct soulslike elements, which at times can feel forced and unnecessary. However, the game's premise, where players hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins as Fury, lends itself to some truly memorable boss encount

Literally popping in and out of the early moments of this game 's massive story, Keeper of the Black Wind Mountain is always happy to lend our hero a helping hand with his signature Sagittarius enthusi

It's surprising how easy it is to miss the option to upgrade your armour in Black Myth: Wukong, with the Ruyi Scroll Realm being avoidable in the main quest line. But if you manage to make your way to the smithy, you'll meet the stoic and slightly cocky Yin Ti

Instead of searching for Buddhist scriptures, the main character, Goku, who happens to be a first-gen "assobot" with certain specific powers and monkey-like features, is tasked with searching for the 49 Keys of the Apocalypse. Being a trickster, his real goal is the treasure that's hidden in the same place as the k

Though many bosses in Lords of the Fallen share similar designs and combat strategies, the game's unique sense of weight in both the protagonist's and enemies' movements adds a layer of tension to each encounter. This risk-reward dynamic closely mirrors the original Dark Souls games, making it a memorable experience for fans of the ge

In a game with such a massive cast of characters, of course, not every named character is going to be included, but we've featured the major characters that align closest to the different Zodiac signs. So, which characters line up with which signs b
