The final phase is undeniably the hardest, with brief opportunities to try and beat Yellowbrow out of his golden immunity, all while trying not to let the shock bane accumulate too much. The different phases of this fight will push you to your limits, but it acts as a fantastic finale to the third chap

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

Plenty of anime use some of the elements from Journey to the West as part of their setting, storyline, or heroes. There's a wide range of genres and types of anime based on this novel, with some only making references to it while others are intended to be full adaptati

Goku is never really a villain, but a mischief-maker and playful thief, which is how he's depicted in most Chinese mythology and the novel Journey To the West . The Monkey King uses his cleverness and ingenuity to defeat demons, escape his bondage, and return to his subje

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 west gaming to the We

Battles against massive Angels and Demons, as well as iconic embodiments of the Seven Deadly Sins — like Envy, Sloth, Lust, and Pride — are thrilling thanks to their distinctive designs and engaging combat mechanics. While Darksiders 3 may not be the strongest entry in its series or the soulslike genre, the satisfaction of taking down such notorious foes makes it a worthwhile experience in its own ri

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

Finding bosses in Remnant: From the Ashes can be tricky, with many requiring players to discover hidden steps that are not immediately obvious — often necessitating a guide. However, once located, the bosses are diverse, frequently employing ranged attacks and maintaining distance, which forces players to adapt and develop new strategies. It's in these moments that Remnant feels refreshingly distinct from other soulslikes. The game truly shines when played cooperatively with friends , transforming every boss battle into a memorable, exhilarating experie

However, while the game is already a critical and commercial success, there have been some major bugbears for players, most notably the invisible walls that plague the world. This has led to a flurry of player complaints onl

It’s simple to pick up, though tricky to master, as those lanes can get crowded — even when they get special fruit power-ups to turn the tide. The game has been re-released through many Capcom compilations, like the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium , and has been referenced in many more, like SonSon’s granddaughter appearing as a playable character in Marvel Vs Capcom

One of the oldest examples is Capcom’s SonSon , a side-scrolling arcade platformer like SNK’s later effort Psycho Soldier . Players control SonSon (Wukong) and/or TonTon (Bajie) across a continuous range of platforms with gaps they can stroll over or move up or down a level on. Their goal is to reach the Buddha statue at the end and blast any enemy away with ma

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

Challenging and climactic boss fights are at the heart of every soulslike experience . Encountering formidable enemies players have no idea how to defeat at first is part of the genre's charm — but there's more to it than just the difficulty. Soulslikes often pair these intense battles with rewarding exploration, flexible character-building, and great itemization, attracting players for more than just their boss encounters. Sometimes, though, the rest of the game doesn't quite measure

It is a rare thing when a game ends up looking as good as the initial trailers promised, but Black Myth: Wukong _ **** _ has delivered where many games have not. The graphical fidelity and visuals of the title cannot be overstated, and the scale of its intro alone shows players the kind of work and detail that went into the title, presenting Wukong as the divinely powerful being that he is in the Journey to the West novel. It's all impressive work, but this level of graphical fidelity and scale comes at a c
