      I would absolutely not use VPN to buy games on steam, you will be banned.

  • I have mixed feelings about this game. The graphics and artwork are brilliant. The levels are a bit empty between bosses with mostly uninteresting and relatively "easy" enemies as filler between bosses. Some people have said this game plays like 'Boss Rush Mode' and that's not too far off the mark. The combat can be exhilarating at times but some of the bosses are awkwardly balanced. Ultimately, I've put the game down around the 50 percent mark and I may return at some point but I honestly got a bit bored. That's partly me getting burnt out on the souls like genre. I think it's an incredible 1st effort but I'm feeling like all the imitators of FromSoft never quite get what makes their games more than just "here is a painful boss fight". It is worth getting if you have the hardware to run it.

      What do you mean by awkwardly balanced?

      I personally agree with you on the graphics and artwork. However, I feel like an important aspect of the game was left out in your thoughts which is the actual story itself. For those who are familiar with Journey to the West, the Black Myth Wukong tells an interesting story for what comes after the completion of the journey. You sort of really need to be able to understand what's going on to really enjoy it

        I don’t agree - if you read the back stories in the journal and watch the cutscenes without skipping you can get the story more or less, but of course I’ve got the book in my kindle just haven’t got time to read it yet too busy playing this game 🤣 I’m currently on ng+2 imho the best balance of difficulty level and your character’s power. I rely on see through and pluck and many for this run. Fun game play, awesome visuals great story it’s my GOTY. Love little bajie to pieces.

      After only playing a small amount of the game, so far I agree with the boss rush mode sentiment.

      I beat one boss and then there are a few small fights and then I go wtf another boss already?

      I sort of agree with the boss run thing, but there are a lot more information hidden in the dialogue with each bosses, even the small bosses. You need to refer to the boss detail to understand the whole picture of the story. The conflict between budda, celestial court, human and money king is hidden in each of the dialogue and boss description.

  • I haven't played many games in my life, but this one reminds me of playing Monster Hunter on the PSP. The feeling of failing multiple times, persevering, and finally defeating the boss with the last bit of health left was exhilarating. I miss that excitement and the adrenaline rush, but I've grown out of it and can't afford to spend so much time on gaming anymore.

    There's no doubt it's a great game with an excellent storyline. I'm glad I bought and tried it. Even though I might never finish it, I enjoyed the experience and feel it was worth the money.
