Sept. 2024

Just finished the game with all achievements and I think no words can do justice to how amazing the whole experience was. The only downside in my opinion is how many invisible walls are present around the world, but other than that; an amazing combat system, huge variety of transformations and incredible graphics. Solid game everyone should try at some point.

Remember when a game was just a game? Apparently these devs do. This game is a single, complete, no nonsense game. No DLC bundles. No microtransactions, no battle passes, no live services, and no BS. Just a single game with a solid amount of content, (mostly) fair difficulty challenges, a good amount of secrets to unlock, a serviceable story, and fun gameplay. It certainly helps that Journey to the West is one of my favorite stories. Blame Dragonball Z for getting me into it. I only wish more games were like this.

Sept. 2024

(Review in progress, 8h so far, 2 chapters completed) This game surprised me more than I expected. The level of polish and care put into it is quite impressive and I absolutely loved my time with it so far. Graphics and art-design are top notch, sound design is great, music has its highs and lows, but what it doesn't lack is identity, it's pretty original. If you're familiar with the original story or Chinese mythology, you'll probably love the interpretations of characters from there, if you have no idea what is it about, prepare yourself for a wild ride, it can get quite weird, but equally amazing. Now, the main thing - gameplay. Overall I can say that it's pretty fun and I had a good time with it, especially thanks to the very decent enemy variety and non-stop bosses with their own quirks, but the only gripe that I personally have with the game - is the lack of combos, or just overall depth of core staff combat. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, however it seems like the combat's variety is leaning more towards a couple of special abilities and you waiting for them to be available again, while with the staff itself you have only one light attack combo and with that only 3 variations of heavy attacks, plus you can't cancel out of many of your animations, which is annoying in a game like this. Also most of your character progression is tied to stats improvements. I guess after playing many games like DMC series, Bayonettas, even something like recent GOW, Darksiders etc, I got spoiled with even more responsive and flexible combat systems, but other than that, I'm more than satisfied with everything else. Can I recommend it? Heck yeah! We need more single-player games like this one. Who is it for? I'd say it's a mix of a Souls-like meets GOW, but it has its own unique ideas as well. Final score (as of now) - 8.5/10 If the game manages to surprise me with something else, I'll be glad to raise the score to at least 9/10, but I'm a bit picky about some gameplay details. Still impressed though. UPD after 30 hours and almost finishing the game - I'll leave the score at 8.5 and my main points still stand. This game is impressive and it's one of the best and most solid 8/8.5 out of 10 sorta games you'll ever play, but some parts of the game outstay their welcome and combat doesn't evolve much (some people have a different opinion on this, and that's fine by me). Other than that, I loved it.

So far I love everything about this game. From the story, visuals, gameplay... it's a beautiful game about chinese mythology and a rare gem of 2024. The world and visuals are stunning, although exploration is linear I want to see everything this game has to offer. This is also the first game where I chose not to play in default english, as it sounds so much better in original voice (chinese) and it makes for a more unique experience. Combat is souls inspired, but difficulty is very forgiving. There is no block/parry button, you only have to dodge attacks at the right time. Also at dying you won't loose anything, but enemies will respawn on dying and resting. This game is not hard as souls-like so noob casuals like me can give this a try. However it can still be challenging and some bosses will make you die over and over again. You can't rush in and mash buttons expecting not to die in a few hits. With that said you may have to adapt your skill points, thankfully respec doesn't cost anything so you have all the freedom to try out different abilities/playstyle. To summarize, it's an amazing singleplayer game with all the right components- interesting story, great gameplay, amazing visuals and sound effects. Optimization is very good. I can play it on my old pc (i5-7500 and GTX 1060) with a bit of tweaking. Great purchase, fantastic game! 10/10

Aug. 2024

Honestly I kept my expectations low because it seemed too good to be true especially being the first game from the studio but god damn they nailed it. The combat I would say is more akin to something like God of War rather than a soulslike. It feels great to play, very responsive, a lot of different ways to play. The graphics are fantastic and the game runs well, have not had any crashes so far.
