Soulslikes Worth Playing Just For Their Boss Fights

While we don't get to hear a lot from our protagonist, The Destined One, a character that we meet in Chapter 3 that quickly becomes a surrogate voice for our main character, is Zhu Bajie. He'll spend multiple sections of the Demon Slayer Game tagging along, aiding in fights, and quipping all the

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

Steelrising is a AA soulslike and the first foray into the genre by Spiders, a studio better known for traditional RPGs like Greedfall . While the overall experience may not be groundbreaking and can feel a bit clunky at times, the game's unique setting during the French Revolution, combined with an automaton uprising, offers intriguing boss designs that help captivate play

Given the abundance of consumables and gathered resources, every Black Myth: Wukong player will have items they'd like to sell in exchange for Will (the in-game currency) to upgrade their gear or Cultivate Spirits. However, this option is currently absent. With just a few tweaks, more depth and convenience could be added to this system, allowing players to better manage their resources and enjoy a more flexible trading experie

Instead of a historical adaptation of the novel, a popular method of interpreting Journey To the West is through a futuristic or fantasy lens . Known as Spaceketeers in the United States, this series included the same character dynamics and search for a sacred MacGuffin, but takes place in a far-distant future t

The Yellow Wind Sage gets tricky during this first part of the fight by occasionally mixing up his combos. He can skip the second part of his typical melee combo and go right for the overhead slam, for example. It's important to watch him carefully and only attack when you've definitely got an opening (after the overhead slam and after the third wind blade, for example.) Another good time to attack would be after using Rock Solid to parry an attack, or after you knock the Sage over with a heavy attack.

Still, comparing Black Myth: Wukong to two of the biggest titles ever made (in terms of world size and how long they take to beat) isn't the fairest comparison, especially because it is considerably more efficient than other titles over 100GB in size . For instance, Call of Duty: Warzones is terribly inefficient with its file size, considering that it is 125GB on Steam. EA Sports FC 25 is another title that asks too much for its file size, coming in at 100GB when the title used to be 50GB in 2

Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine's new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong's staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp

It's a clever twist to switch out the ancient Buddhist texts with human beings, but that's not the only similarity. The character of Mushra, one of the three figures that guards and guides the main character, isn't a monkey, but retains the features of a staff as a weapon and the distinctive golden headb

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

"Go Into The West" is the name of the very first episode of this anime series, so it's clear they aren't exactly being subtle about using Journey to the West as their source material. The setting is the fantasy paradise of Shangri-La, which has been disturbed by a wave of negative energy, rising evil spirits, and vicious monsters. A Priest named Sanzo is ordered by the Celestial Heavens to travel to India and discover what has happened and how to fix

One of the most threatening early bosses that will likely be one of the first roadblocks in Black Myth: Wukong is Whiteclad Noble. This character is also quite passionate in his hatred for The Destined One when meeting him, and these lines are brought to life by Vincent
