Black Myth Wukong s Invisible Walls Are Ruining Player Immersion

Johnson only has one other credited role in the video game industry, but it's one that you'll have likely heard before if you're a Soulslike fan. Not the most glamorous character, Johnson also voiced Dung Eater from Elden Ring , a horrific serial killer that The Tarnished One will have the option of defeat


At least, with **Black Myth: Wukong ** , it is obvious why there is extra storage required, unlike titles like Call of Duty: Warzones and EA Sports FC 24 & 25 . The game looks amazing, just like the original trailer a few years ago that blew everyone's mind. No matter what is said about the game, it is nice to see a title that delivers on its intended promises and doesn't falsely lead players into thinking it will look better than it actually does. Ultimately, the 130GB is a steep but worthwhile sacrif


The Hoarfrost Transformation, while a great option, doesn't rank too high as its Light Attacks are not so effective. However, its Spell is extremely potent in battle. Its main Transformation Trait allows you to inflict frost bane, a useful elemental damage type, and your hits also increase your Focus, when using your tentacles . As for its Heavy Attack, Tentacle Sweep deals a swinging motion that builds up your Fo


Another important but unfortunately easy-to-miss character is Loong Chen, who starts off the entire quest line to unlock the Ruyi Scroll Realm, as well as acts as your sweet gardener once you've got him his medic


This sparked a major discussion among players, many of whom share the same frustrations. Usually, games will use some environmental objects to indicate a path is blocked — a rock, a tree, a fence — but not Wukong, which allows you to think you've discovered a new area, only to block you off rando


These lines are read by Jack Ayres, who has only had a handful of other roles in the industry. If you're a fan of Smite , you'll likely have heard his voicework with Slasher Loki and Celestial Deliverer Mercury, or if you play Another Eden : The Cat Beyond Time and Space, he voices De


Literally popping in and out of the early moments of this game 's massive story, Keeper of the Black Wind Mountain is always happy to lend our hero a helping hand with his signature Sagittarius enthusi


Black Myth: Wukong is a massive adventure, and the time you spend journeying with The Destined One is likely not going to be over quickly. However, after finishing the Action RPG 2023-packed adventure, there's a good chance that you'll be on the lookout for something simi


While our protagonist, The Destined One, is a silent hero, that's not to say that we don't get any personality from our favourite monkey warrior. Of course, he can't help but find himself in trouble around every corner (considering the game's colossal boss count, it makes sense, though), but he's always willing to help put things ri


A lack of a mini-map or compass was lamented by players and suggested as a simple solution to this issue. As was having the barriers glow a particular color when approached to make it clear the area was a no-go zone. Whatever the reason for it, though, this design choice is an odd


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


Our titular character Sun Wukong, while not the character you spend the majority of the game playing as (that honour goes to our largely silent protagonist The Destined One), we still get to hear plenty of his voice throughout different cutsce

While Yin Tiger is one of the more obscure characters from throughout Black Myth: Wukong, he features some of the best characterization from his short screen time, making it easy to associate him with a Taurus archet


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

Playing as Clive, you'll follow his life and hardships as he learns about the medieval-style political intrigue his life has been steeped in as the world seems to fall apart around him. As he absorbs the power of mythical summons, his arsenal only grows more varied and powerful, making him one of the most fun protagonists to learn to cont


Beefy file sizes seem to be commonplace in the video game industry now , outside of small, stylized indie titles that go for a largely 2D aesthetic. Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g
