It turns the story into a Donkey Kong Country -esque platformer with Prince of Persia puzzle-solving, where players can switch between Sanzang, Wukong, Kihong (Bajie), and Sandmonk (Wujing) on the fly. That way, they can switch between their different skills and abilities (gliding, double jumping, etc.) to navigate various obstacles. It’s a fun little game that fell under the radar for many, but it delivers a strong showing through its deep ties to Journey to the We

One of the most cinematic and creative boss encounters throughout Black Myth: Wukong is with the final boss of Chapter 3, Yellowbrow. The treacherous interloper is happy to put The Destined One through the wringer in this multi-stage marathon that even features a Macaque Chief intermission where you briefly reunite with Zhu Ba

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

Let's not kid ourselves; the real allure is about the bosses. There is a staggering number of different bosses you can run into throughout Black Myth: Wukong, to the point that it's surprising when you've gone a while without running into one, but which are the best of the b

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

In some other action games, you'll very quickly start to realise that the enemies you're facing are quite repetitive and that the game only has a stock few antagonistic forces to throw your input here way. But for better or for worse, this is definitely not the case with Black Myth: Wuk

Efficiency could be the issue here, with game developers doing everything to make their games look as good as possible without trying to get more out of smaller file sizes. Yes, the graphical fidelity that developers can produce will require more hard drive space , but games always tend to have bits of unused content left behind. This cut content is usually found when scouring the game files and can give many players an idea of how a title could have turned out, but they also can take up valuable storage space depending on the g

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

Sanzang is supposed to be a male monk, but because of the Japanese translation’s ambiguous use of gender, he’s often turned up in their media as a woman, be it as Dragon Ball ’s Bulma, Warriors Orochi 3 ’s Sanzang, or in the 1978 Monkey series. This show actually made it abroad to the West, where Ninja Theory continued the trend for Enslaved: Odyssey to the We

To gain this potent Spell, you will require Loong Scales, found in Chapter 2, after fighting the First Prince of Flowing Sands boss. This gives you access to three secret Loong bosses in Black Myth: Wukong , one of which is faced near the 'Relief of the Fallen Loong' Shrine in Webbed Hollow, Chapter 4 . Upon defeating Yellow Loong, you will gain this Transformation as a rew

The final encounters of each chapter are arguably some of the most spectacular boss fights in the genre, and the standard is set at the beginning of the game with Black Bear Guai . After learning the Cloud Step technique, you'll be able to reach the temple at the top of the mountain relatively unscathed, but it won't stay easy with the flaming Black Bear Guai ready to pounce as soon as you arr

Sun Wukong's three-eyed rival is every bit as challenging as you'd think he would be (it's always the humanoid bosses who have to worry about). He's truly a test of everything you've learned throughout the game and perhaps the most satisfying to finally get the chance to take d

What makes the earlier portions of the fight against the nightmarish creature entertaining, is that if you go into the fight before beating Scorpionlord, the two will fight each other, and you can just watch them go at it until Duskveil takes out the otherwise frustrating venemous threat. You'll still, of course, have to worry about Duskveil (and his second health bar) but the pure satisfaction of getting to watch two bosses take each other on is unrival
