If you loved the flashy action and RPG-style progression of Black Myth: Wukong, and you want something just as deep to sink your teeth into, then Final Fantasy 16 is a surprisingly similar adventure to try

When you start the game, you'll be presented with a lengthy cutscene before being thrust into a battle with the game's introductory boss, Erland, The Sacred Divinity . Don’t worry — while he has a wide range of moves and a large health pool, you can easily defeat him, since you can’t die in this fight.

This is a ranged attack that is easy to notice when the boss is about to use it, but because of the delay due to the attack animation, Hollow Knight Silksong Xbox it becomes difficult to dodge it precisely. Elder Jinchi will most likely use this attack when the Destined One is far away.

During this phase, he will start disappearing and launching attacks from stealth. When he reappears rushing at you with his hand glowing, roll to the side to avoid the burst of spikes he'll conjure and then dodge again as he performs two wide sweeping attacks a moment later. If he reappears as he leaps into the air towards you, roll to the side to avoid his vertical swing and then do it again as he returns from the opposite direction. If he appears flying towards you with one foot raised, he's going for a stomp attack, so dodge to either side and attack after he stomps down.

The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn't be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e

Lies of P is definitely a step up in difficulty, and it'll introduce you to Soulslike progression as well, but it takes a much more linear approach to storytelling compared to other titles it shares its genre with. The rich environments it features are similar in level of detail to those in Black Myth: Wukong but switch up the aesthetic from the traditional Chinese to a post-apocalyptic steampunk fant

Often taking the role of The Destined One's voice, we have his short in stature but big on spirit occasional companion Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie will often be found at The Destined One's side, quipping and commenting on the events around them, sometimes even talking over other charact

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

Both Black Myth: Wukong and the new God of War titles take a similar approach to action as well as progression, and both lean heavily into mythological lore, even if it's switched from Norse to Chinese. If you like one of these games, it's likely you'll like the other, but maybe don't play them back to back for fear of burn

As you journey through Yellow Wind Ridge in Black Myth: Wukong , one name comes up frequently: Yellow Wind Sage. They appear frequently in enemy lore and dialog as you make your way through this chapter, building them up as a powerful sage who can command the wind and terrifies many of their subordinates.

Throughout the story of Black Myth: Wukong, we hear a lot about the legendary hero Sun Wukong, to the point that if you weren't paying that much attention, you might assume that you were playing as

The Yellow Wind Sage's most frustrating attack during this phase begins with him running at you and performing a quick kick. If you don't dodge the kick he'll launch you into the air and begin a lengthy and unavoidable combo attack that will usually drain most of your health , if not all of it. Watch for him dashing at you to perform the kick and get out of the way by any means necessary since this attack is a grab and ignores invincibility effects like Rock Solid and Resolute Counterflow .

Defeating Elder Jinchi, a Yaoguai King boss, rewards the player with the Fireproof Mantle vessel . You don’t get this item right away. After defeating the boss, the Destined One will be teleported back to the third bell, near the Whiteclad Noble’s arena.

A simple quest tracker or log to keep track of active side quests would be a helpful addition to Black Myth: Wukong . It would make it easier to follow up on any NPCs worth revisiting and ensure that players don't miss out on crucial rewards. There's really no reason for the game not to have

Black Myth: Wukong is full to the brim with interesting characters, all steeped in layers of Chinese mythology, as well as parallels to the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. With such a wide array of characters, it's natural that you might wonder which lines up with typical Zodiac sign personality tra
