In the role of the human-like automaton Aegis, players will encounter all sorts of mechanical enemies, like the mechanized Centaur, crafted by war engineers for various purposes. Each of these encounters demands full attention and mastery of the Game of the Year 2024's combat system. Though Steelrising may not reach the heights of Lies of P , there's a deep sense of satisfaction in overcoming massive, hulking bosses — often towering three times the size of Aegis — within iconic backdrops like the Bastille fortr

If you find the secret area, you'll immediately have to fight the Tiger Vanguard again, only this time he'll be from the past (and thankfully a bit weaker), but then through a completely different and much more obscure quest line, you'll be challenged with fighting Mad Tiger , who unfortunately might pose more of a threat. By taking down all three of these bosses, you'll get an achievement as consolat

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

Even when you're there, you could miss the option to challenge Yin Tiger, since very few other bosses need to be manually challenged. And once you do challenge him, you'll then need to take down this incredibly aggressive foe in his tiny arena outside his smithy. His transformation is a lot of fun once you have it, but the process of getting it requires a lot of hurdle-jump

Next, go through the Torii gate and follow the trail until you reach the Marsh of White Mist Keeper’s Shrine. From the Shrine, take the left path and interact with the tree to acquire the Luojia Fragrant Vine , a rare material used to upgrade the Gourd .

Another more obscure character, The Third Prince, or as you might know him if you never returned to his cell, a random prisoner in the Pagoda Realm, is shown to be an incredibly dutiful and determined character who hopes to free the souls of the four captains you'll find throughout Chapte

There are several optional boss encounters throughout your journey in Black Myth: Wukong, but one of the trickiest to find and then complete is the Yin Tiger, who you'll find in the back of the Ruyi Scroll realm. If you don't keep an eye out for Chen Loong when exploring Bitter Lake, then you'll never even know this area exi

It’s a post-apocalyptic, futuristic take on the tale, where, after Monkey forces their ship to crash, Trip (Sanzang) uses a special headband to make him escort her home safely as recompense. The game played well, despite some frame rate hiccups, and earned multiple awards, particularly for Andy Serkis’ performance as Monkey. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate into sales, leaving it as one of Ninja Theory's most underrated ga

Dodging forward at the correct time will avoid this attack, but be wary of the delay. Another way to perfectly avoid this attack is to immobilize the boss during the animation, allowing you to dish out decent damage.

This boss, named Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang, isn’t the toughest enemy you'll face in this region. Start by using the Immobilize Spell on him, and then attack by transforming into Guangzhi via the Red Tiles Spell. Deal as much damage as possible at the start to make the rest of the fight easier. Be cautious of his frequent leaps and tongue attacks.

You'll be rewarded with an achievement for unlocking all transformations as well as all spells, but doing this is quite a task since while you'll get a few of these through unmissable scenes, there are a few spells and a lot more transformations, which are only obtainable through thorough exploration and completion of some more obscure quest li

One standout was Saiyuki: Journey West , a tactical RPG akin to Final Fantasy Tactics , where Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing could use their transformations in battle, with Sanzang as the healer. It didn’t set the world on fire back in the day, being a PS1 game released nearly a year after the PS2's launch. Still, Gamespot liked it enough to nominate it for their ‘Best Game No One Played’ prize at their 2001 awa
