​ @jamesfeng9922 True, Wukong is strong but what he face is not those just Youkai/Demon, what he face and lost to is those weapon/item (that usually owned by Buddhas, Boddhisatvas or some High Deities) in Journey to the West story. with two exception that i can remember is Samadhi Wind (Skill) owned by Yellow Sage in chapter 2, and Samadhi Fire (skill) owned by Red Boy in chapter 5. those 2 skill is really trouble wukong alot.

No I had some stuttering issues , you can tell when the menu items scroll really slowly. The fix is fairly simple, save, turn off PS5 and then restart it. It'll work properly again. In like the 30+ hours I've played stuttering happened only 2 times and this fix made it go away for hours at a time.

Fun fact, canonically from the novel, even wukong himself couldn't beat him because his wind would blind him, which is why he does that in game, in game, the wind tamer can completely remove all his winds and tornado, the same item used to counter him in the novel aswell

[@jaqsparrow9793]

i have a theory: that in the opening cutscene when wukong approaches the four kings, he scratches his head for a sec and rubs his fingers together and then sharply throws "something" away and i think that is a strand of his hair just in case he was defeated and needed a clone to ressurect. i believe this clone he threw is you and i have 2 reasons that this is true.1. in the game everytime you "die" you essentially turn into a strand of hair which makes more sense when i tell you reason 2. in other movies and depictions such as the forbidden kingdom with jackie chan and jet li it was a thing that happened for jet li's monk character was also a clone and this has significant continuity within wukong lore so much so that i came up with this theory

[@lpcoolee]

And btw, you’re 100% right! This is undoubtedly one of the all time greats, a certified banger. Since firing up the game, I’ve been consumed with retrying boss fights, exploring for (imo) the best secret and side missions I’ve ever seen in a game (and I’ve played and loved Elden Ring.. still do). I just can’t stop playing the game… also, I don’t think it’s necessary to penalise people (dropping souls on death) in souls games, as in this game some bosses are so punishing, that you don’t need more unnecessary punishment. This game is so well done - so unexpected!

Mine did stutter a bit in chapter 3 but restarting the game helped. Plus it was mostly smooth so I wouldn’t say it ruined the game. Cyberpunk when it launched in PS5 caused me lots of hard crashes in the middle of game missions so that is something I didn’t tolerate as much.

[@YCHTT]

@4:08 I encountered no "big technical issue" playing & completed the game on PS5 (true ending) last week and I only encountered lagged or stuttered once continuously during a boss fight on Chapter 6 first boss. I was on Quality setting. I changed to Balance for that boss & rest my PS5 for an hour in case it was heat issue. And that boss lag had never appeared again and I have even switched it back to Quality setting after that. I have no stutter or lag issue at all throughout any fight or exploring game play ever apart from that one time occurrence. I only experienced game crashed 3 times during this wonderful journey also. So minor technical issue maybe definitely not a "big one." Highly recommended this game, and definitely one of the best if not the best single player game ever.

[@sinsa3636]

A thing to add - it's interesting that OP mentions being "borded out" by the same environments in most Asian games. This game described at most 50 pages of the 2300-page novel in the Journey to the West book. I barely completed the book and found that a lot of elements were missing from this game. I guess since this story is "based off" of Wukong, it doesn't detail his actual adventure. He traversed between the celestial, earthly, and even underworld realms, which weren't depicted in the game. Half the novel depicts his journeys in the celestial palace and the underworld (hel), but only shows him in the earthly realm. Also, it would take a significant amount of money and imagination to design all three realms. That was mentioned by the dev team.

[@HMan2828]

Studio originally had planned for 13 chapters instead of 6, two large DLCs incoming!

[@sinsa3636]

@@HMan2828 Yeah I heard and I'm hyped 😂They said their next releases will include more Chinese horror elements, which is awesome because this game needs more of it lol. Chinese horror is so different from conventional horror since its more "spiritualistic" in a sense and not the jump-scare childsplay. Its more in-depth and always has some hidden meaning behind it, usually related to ritualistic practices made during ancient time periods. The fight in that blood pool with the Tiger Vanguard was one example. It's probably horrifying to western audiences, but that's what traditional Chinese horror is. It's masterful art imo.

Also worth mentioning that the area vessel items can resolve your main issues with yellow wind sage and the daoist if you find them in the secret areas

[@tienluuquyet5069]

all the shit boss you mention HAVE a counter, it is VESSEL. if you snooping around and get all the secret area in each chapter you get the vessel mean to counter each of those boss. the centipede guy when he turn gold can be cancel by the needle, the rat king wind shit can be cancel by the wind bell. the vessel discribtion mention highly effect again certain ennemy. about wise voice his laser CANT hit you if you stay behind him, when he take your max hp you also deal much higher dmg so it a trade off. The only dodge worthy move is the glowing hand slam, the timming off that move is so tight I almost got hit everytime and depend on your health it can be fight ending move. The time I dodge that hit is the time I kill him. About the cart after Pingping use the fan to snuff the fire you can go back where you came and you will see a path that was blocked be fire earlier that is where you find the last one

[@TianVtCH]

So the equipment or spells you get in the sidequest/secret areas? They usually have story significance that are call backs to the original Journey to the West. Quite often, in the original story, Wukong encounters a foe or situation he is unable to overcome without completely obliterating everything. And so he calls upon the help of various Gods and Deities. The 100 Eye Daoist and the Yellow Wind Sage are characters from the original story. Against the Yellow Wind Sage, you can get a bell that completely negates his BS tornado, a callback to when Sun Wukong got a magical bead that negated his winds. Against the 100 Eye Daoist, Sun Wukong called upon the help of a Rooster Deity who pecked the ever living crap out of the Centipede Yaoguai. The needle artifact you get from the secret area there is a callback to that, when the Snake Deity helped to re-empower the needle after you defeat the corrupted Rooster.

The game just keeps you on your feet all the time, which is the No.1 element for a great game. Wise-Voice is counter intuitive as after a couple boss fights we have learned to keep our distance, dodge and wait for oppotunities, but if you stay under him and just pedicure him, it's actually not that hard a fight.

Yellow wind sage is ez when u have the wind tamer its lore accurate too

[@RomanZakharyak]

@16:22 it’s almost as if the area boss was the same being that was doing that in the pagoda realm 😂

[@Killarem318]

IKR! Weird concept. It's like the developers wanted you to explore the Pagoda, to figure that you have to kill the lantern creatures before fighting the boss.

[@smzh8890]

most of the bosses that you didn't like fighting are actually designed to be that way, because you might find side quests that give you items or abilities that make fighting them easier. Ex. the tornados can be negated by an item that you get, yellow brow's gold armor can be hurt by increasing your attack from another spell you learn, and the hundred eye dude's 3rd phase can be canceled with a needle item that you get that flies around.

[@HMan2828]

Yellow Brow's armor only needs one fully charged heavy to break it.

[@gaigekeep]

Best game ever dude

Already waiting for a DLC

[@XZhang-cf1oe]

The only reused enemies I can think of are the frogs (although with different abilities) and a skeleton-snake-neck-guai wearing blue garments, found in Chapter 1 and 4.

this is a FUN review by a gamer

17:38 some of these structures, walls with sculptures, statues, temples, scenaries, even bridges are actually exists in China, Game science went scanning them locally into 3d modules!!

07:37 spoiler alarm, there are many ways to recover some of your mana . . . . . . .Finding a Celestial Taiyi Pill that increases Max Mana permanently also restores the mana bar in the process. The Galeguard Greaves are foot armor that restore a moderate amount of Mana if the player can perfect dodge three times in quick succession. The Spirit Shards skill for the Immobilize spell recovers Mana when you crash the immobilization on an enemy. The Bold Venture skill for the Rock Solid spell recovers Mana if used correctly - in fact, it's one of the best Black Myth Wukong skills. One option for the Fuming Ears Relic has the same effect as Bold Venture, allowing the player to regain half the cost of the Rock Solid Deflection Spell when they successfully parry an enemy with it. In Chapter 3, defeating the optional Apramana Bat boss fight will cause the Turtle Tear to drop on the beach nearby. This is a Soak for your Gourd that restores Moderate amounts of Mana if you drink it at full health.

Its truly a once in a lifetime game

Pillar stance is underrated!

[@MitchellBetar]

80 something hours in very beautiful and fun game I’m replaying it rn

[@hoangnguyenloc1162]

In pagoda realm, there are mtfks like street lamp walking around, u need to defeat nine of them to cancel the half health bar effect! Also the hundred eyes mtfk, there is a item from secret area called weaver needle or smt like that can counter the boss pharse 2!

[@TylPhumin]

15:41 ha! i am so proud of myself for figuring that out! u can immediately cancel that yellow light phase, by using that needle artifact! °^° 16:41 i found that one to be o the easier side. just cuddle his foot, until he becomes untargetable, dodge the shit out of the lightning like the floor is lava and proceed to step on his foot again x:

[@RDHardy79]

Pillar Stance devotees unite!

[@vickalessa]

As their first triple A game, even with several flaws in the game, there are so many elements that just made this a serious contender for goty!!

[@vickalessa]

I don't know why you have some problems on PS5. I only realise my game perf gets worse when it overheats.. and my ps5 is quite new.. hmm

[@josearmandosalgueiro7907]

Im on chap 4 already .. worth every cent ... my goty 2024 for sure ... :)

[@cyrilpham9992]

The effect of the Pagoda Realm is actually the Boss doing, after you beat it and head back down there, you will never had that effect again, so it fair to said he using that in the fight as well lol. Oh and one more thing if you beat that boss before dispatch all the lattern head, you will miss out a curio drop by defeating all of them...

[@ProjectFallenLeaf]

This is the best action rpg hack and slash that we really needed Dmc is the only other that gets me hyped

[@meowmaru2366]

The Yaksha King's people were wiped out by the Buddhas' faction in the celestial court. Yes, there are factions: the imported Buddhas versus the Native Chinese Gods like Erlang. The Yaksha King was the last prince of his kind. His soul was revived by someone from the Native Gods' side to cause trouble for the Buddhas. It was placed in the queen’s womb, so he wasn’t truly Bull King’s bloodline. When he learned the truth, he turned against Bull King for surrendering to the celestial court and sought a relic from him to take revenge.

[@ltsSouI]

id flip yaksha king and wise voice, wise voice was extremely simple but ig thats whats fun about these games everyone struggles with different encounters
