I played elden rung and loved it hut that is the only genre. It never said it was going to be like elden ring. Critique was terrible with terrible takes
Soulslike nerd and hard difficulty addict plays a game that is NOT a souls like and complains that it doesn’t play like a souls like. That’s the video summarized for you.
TLDR, I'm a nerd with 1-dimensional thinking who uses flawed logic and projection. Don't forget kids. If the game isn't very hard, it's not fun. Facts.
Dont talk about hard difficulty in dark soul, i beat every dark souls boss in less than a min except the dlc bosses. What make it addictes is the graphic and animation if dark soul made into 2D games i believe no one want to play it
This game is just like DMC 5 without the style points system but has the difficulty of the ORIGINAL DMC 3. I’m a huge fromsoft fan but too many people that freshly introduced to fromsoft games think that every semi-difficult game is “souls-like” but this is a spitting imagine of the masterpiece that DMC 5 is and I love it. I feel like I’m the only one making this comparison.
What semi difficulty exactly? Elden ring is by far the easiest souls game, not only that it's literally one of the easiest games ever made because you can choose to make it easier in game whenever you want
@@syrobe Easy would eliminate it from being a Soulslike game then, would it not? Since that is sort of a requirement for a game to be classified that way.
And after ...this turns like soulslike or like God of war ...I mean combat, gameplay everything... because I don't like soulslike but love God of war ..so I can buy if it's like that
Just refunded it after an hour! Just like Elden Ring did.. Putting a troll boss in the beginning... Making you have to repeat the same bosses over and over if your not really trying to beat it. The game is what it is. People said it's not a soulslike which is the only games i struggle with. I struggled the very same with this like anyother soulslike. Having to be constantly underpowerd and bosses being hit sponges... its attack attack attack.. dodge away... attack... dodge away. One mistake or misstimed dodge, your dead. It's so stupid, in my opinion.
With a huge investment in games, the experience is very strong. The cutscenes are all movie-level, and the content is also very good. Most people think it's worth it. You have to refund this money. How poor are you?
People really forgot that 3rd person action rpg games exist. Its not just souls games in the genre. If anything the new GoW games would be an amazing comparison
@@NA-vz9ko nioh plays nothing like a souls game and if you think that you haven't played it, it has stance changing, combos, multiple skill trees, its an action game.
@@NA-vz9ko nioh plays absoloutely nothing like a soulslike lmfao thats such a huge misconception. the only thing that makes nioh a souls like is the hard bosses, resting at a shrine, the flask and the souls. but that's where it ends,, everything else plays and feels much more different than any souls game
The only reason people aren't calling it a souls like is because there is no blocking and no parry. Add blocking and parry and your have a souls sekiro like and that isn't enough to take it away from souls like because of a single mechanic. People can think what they want be it's definitely a souls like.
there is one tho, first ability of smash stance during light combo, by doing a heavy attack on the right timing you actually deflect the enemy attack and u don't receive damage
@david_kingori Yes, because we have eyes. We're playing the game. We see all the mechanics they implemented are straight from the Souls series, no matter how much they try to pretend it's not.
I found the game to be pretty difficult tbh. You have a healing flask that has charges you regain upon resting at a bonfire, erm, shrine and minir enemies respawn too....
in terms of combat this is nothing like souls games. The combat is fast, agile, responsive, reflex-based, and there is a ton of offensive skill expression and abilities. All of this is the polar opposite of what souls combat feels like
totally agree with you bro, Elden Ring is easier to me than this because my playstyle is hit and run, but this one is not even the same, small arena and so much action in first 5s most the boss
@@surprisepikachuface2071 Yeah, I watched a review from a Russian guy called SonnyK, and he was complaining about how there are too many bosses and that he wants an open-world game. It’s definitely not for people who prefer more exploration and less complex combat encounters. In fact, I feel like Sekiro players are more likely to enjoy this game than any Soulsborne player, because Sekiro is more combat-oriented than Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or even Elden Ring. Sekiro legit requires you to play that chess of combat and concentrate on the death-dance. Dark Souls and Elden Ring require less multi-tasking and are much simpler mechanically. Sekiro and Black Myth: Wukong require you to haggle with a lot of mechanics, which is not something everyone can do ’cause just like in your example, there are people who are better at less mechanic-dense combat games.
@@danielantony1882 bro sekiro is harder than Black Myth Wukong, for real the aim lock by the bosses get me leave the game especially the crow from sky, its hard fr than any elden ring clown imagine If Wukong is open world, it will be insane
@@surprisepikachuface2071 Well yeah, obviously. But again, Elden Ring is easier because that’s what you can deal with. Me personally, my brain can’t cope with the fact that Elden Ring bosses fight like Sekiro bosses while I have the basic functions of a DS1-DS3 character, more or less. I legit don’t know what to do with a simple moveset that has huge animation-locks.
It's not a soulslike. The devs said it's not a soulslike. God of War is not a Soulslike. Can people that don't understand what makes a game a "soulslike," please stop calling everything a "soulslike." It doesn't have the level design, crit/backstab mechanic, many upgradable weapons, the stat/upgrade system, or multiple other game systems that make a game a soulslike. A game with Checkpoints and stamina does not make a game a Soulslike Stop, it's embarrassing.
@randomguy3080 No, by Crit, I don't mean a % increase on certain attacks. I mean like the backstab in Souls, visceral in Bloodborne, or stunned poise break "hit the glowing icon" for big damage in Elden Ring, etc. This game is clearly a God of War-like, with incremental weapon upgrades and armor types with passive bonuses, etc. Every game with "stamina" and "Checkpoints" are not a soulslike.
The difficulty is really about the stats. If the dev really wants to increase difficulty, they can totally get rid of immobilize and increase boss damage.
Wouldn't the game be harder if you just didn't upgrade as much? Worse equipment and stats would make fights last longer. Elden ring is an easy game if you play it with all the tools available to you. This game looks no different to me.
I would prolly ditch the game due to it just not working. I saw a ton of reviews saying how they couldn't even get the game to start, specifically on amd. That's a pretty big issue.
Why do people care if it's a soulslike, eldenlike, thislike, thatlike. If you want soulslike, play Dark Souls lmao. At this point bro, Fortnite and Apex is PUBGlike, Valo is CSlike, Overwatch is Leaguelike, League is Dotalike, Dota is Starcraftlike, Roblox is Minecraftlike, Minecraft is Legolike.
The game is easy for you not because it's easy, it's simply because you're too good. One reason I never spend time learning frameworks or studying game algorithms is because they are the bane of destroy any enjoyable gaming experience, just focusing on building a stylish character is the way I play.
I’m at the start of act 3 and the black loong secret boss has been the most challenging for me his stupid ground attack. It took me like 7 times to beat him.
This game is literally the live or dead debut for game science both in reputation and financial perspectives. So I am okay if this game is too easy for hard core gamers, cuz let’s admit, majority of the player still prefer relaxing game experience. All I hope is they release a dlc for some challenge mode.
I wouldn't actually call this game a Souls-Like at all. It just feels like a linear story game with the occasional big arena and secret. It has souls-like aspects, but it isn't one overall.
@ImCroozy lol yeah it just has the checkpoint system with respawns of a soulslike, the healing system of a soulslike, the experience gain of a soulslike, the linear world of a soulslike, the dodge stamina combat of a soulslike... but it's not a soulslike 🤦🏻♂️🤣
People see checkpoints and drinking a potion and immediately think its a souls-like .When did a souls-likes give you a whole new moveset? Other than the 'aspects' from souls-like games, it's not a souls-like at all and you're dumb if you think it is.
Why does it matter if it's too easy or too hard? Just play the game and enjoy it for what it is. Not every person will like the aesthetic or difficulty of ER or DS games. Me for example, I could care less to play Elden Ring, I've played older Dark Souls games but that's about it. I've played Remnant 1& 2 which everyone says is just a souls-like with guns. Those had difficulty modifiers which could appeal to different skilled players. But Wukong being one set difficulty is not a bad thing. Why not just give props to the devs for making a great first game? If you want a souls game to make you cry in frustration, just stick with Elden Ring. Not every game has to appease your souls itch. You spending hours in Elden Rings DLC should not have any comparison to this game because almost every souls like game is going to be easier than ER. Just face that fact. This game is for a broader audience and just a love letter to their culture and stories. I doubt the devs WANTED the game to be hard asf and make their players frustrated. So leave it at that.
People keep are saying it's not a souls-like but then compare it to games like DMC or . It's definitely way closer to souls than anything else mentioned
Nothing like DMC, that's action adventure and hack 'n slash like old GoWs. This is ARPG, like The Witcher, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, etc. with bonfires, stamina and camera angle taken from Souls. FromSoft games I've played are Sekiro and Demon's Souls, and this doesn't actually play like either of those. Soulslikes I've played are Mortal Shell, Steelrising, Little Witch Nobeta, Lies of P, Code Vein, Asterigos, can't remember if others.
The one or two arguments for not a souls like.. 1. You do not lose anything upon death. 2. The developer said so The countless arguments for is a souls like.. 1. Stamina bar 2. No difficulty setting 3. Large Emphasis on dodge rolling 4. Rest stations which regenerate heals and respawn all enemies in the environment 5. Heavy emphasis on boss design 6. Multi-phase boss fights 7. Weird yet interesting lore
Its a good game, point. And I'm very happy that I played elden ring before because my experience is a little bit smoother and enjoyable. We don't have to compare every games we play, we can simply just play.
Id argue it is a soulslike. U have the bonfire, dodging, "some hard bosses" (not gon spoil), ng+ system, many secrets, different endings. The fighting style is more like nioh 2 but i would argue that nioh 2 is a soulslike. The only reason why the hordes r crying is bcs its too easy. "Theres no way to make wukong easier" never heard of leveling have ya.
I would call it maybe a souls-lite instead, it has elements of it but does it's own thing it's more akin to the Jedi games that take certain mechanics from souls games but is more of an action game at it's core
Linear boss run with a ton of invisible walls, laggy feeling attack combos and very laggy heavy attack. The levels look flat and boring, also there is no actual map which makes it worse. Wish they released a demo. Regret paying full price for this cheap feeling game. This game is NOTHING like Dark souls or Elden Ring.
This game is amazing, but the variety of what you can do is not enough for a game about wukong. For me is a solid 8, but honestly if it had 2 styles combat (staff and martial arts) and maybe 3 or 4 usable transformations at a time and not just one, it would have been game of the decade. Still, is a very fun game and, when is not stuttering, i am really enjoying it
Wait, no block button? This game really isnt beating the Souls Clones accusations. Relying on rolling, Souls ALWAYS did that, except Bloodborne. And the game not having Difficulty Selection is the worst part. Only Souls masochists are used to that. If the devs really want to scrap the Souls comparisons, then they gotta pull a SIFU & patch Difficulty Selection in. I hate that a common video game feature would have to be patched in when it shouldve already been there, but it's literally the only thing that separates other games from Souls. I'll stick with Star Wars Jedi Survivor for now. I just got it finally, and people compare the Jedi games to Souls, even though Difficulty Selection is there.
As a soouls masochist I wish the wukong had a difficulty option so I can put it on hard. I reached chapter 5 and most amountof attempts a boss took was 7. And that's one only boss. Most bosses were killed first try
It’s a fucking soulslike. I don’t care what yall say. It’s a hard game. When I boss can send you all the way back to the shrine in 3 fucking hits, yea it’s a bit difficult.
Boss Rush: Wukong is really the proper category not Souls-Like. Gratz on your gaming accomplishments. FYI, not everyone can game everyday let alone 8-12hrs a day to get to elitest lvls of game play. Most ppl game 20-30 hrs a week bc they have lives outside of gaming. I imagine the difficulty is scaled for the majority not the minority. Furthermore, Souls games (except ER) start out on the same lvl but as a player further progresses they have more flexibility to scale the difficulty. Elden Ring difficulty is a joke bc you can break the game from the start making it either stupid easy or stupid hard.
Not sure what this most controversial souls like you are talking about is but Black Myth Wukong is a fun game that is not a souls like it much more similar to god of war or biomutant
I would say the thing that this game and souls like have in common is they get boss fights right in grandeur ways a lot of games in memory have really struggled with it
It feels like a boss gauntlet, which they said it wasn’t, still great and having fun but already feeling the repetitiveness and not sure there’s replay ability here.
Yellow Loong and Erlang are way better bosses than yellow wind sage, Yellow loong in my opinion is the hardest boss in the game, it's missable so you probably missed him
games easy but its fine. I absolutely hate the freaking invisible walls though. That stuff took me out of the game so fast its insane. How can I see my target and yet cant walk to it cause invisible walls?
Imma start of by saying I can’t put this game down but let’s call it what it is & not kid ourselves , You guys can kill me all you want but this game 100% plays like a souls like in its combat. And it is not even close to DMC, kingdom hearts, bayo, metal gear rising, ninja gaiden etc etc. saying this is not souls like is saying nioh and stellar blade aren’t souls like which they definitely are. Circling around the enemy waiting for openings time and recovery windows on enemies, no real air combat or combat, no juggling, no actual button combos or button delay combos, no double jumps, no style meter or combo gauge, no actual crown control. You have archers sitting at the top of building and instead of having a move set to actually jump up and hit them or pull them towards you or being able to dash in from long range like bayo….you have to find a alternate route to actually go and find and hit them just like in nioh. This game feels like nioh and a little bit of god of war……guys we litteraly have bonfire check points & estuss flasks come on. You can transform into spirits like nioh, it has A STAMINA BAR…..imagine dmc having a stamina bar with only 1 wepon and you completely take away air juggling and just air combat in general. That’s a completely different game
personnally I've been playing the game without the spells, +20 hours, certain bosses are "easy" but some I litteraly spent hours on. I've never played any other Action RPG where I spent hours on a boss other than souls games and Monster Hunter. Despite that the game does have a ton of souls like similarities, I can feel that it's not only souls inspired. So i think it's fair to see the game as a souls like depending on ur playing style since the game gives you a lot freedom. Mobs can be also very tricky.
Fromsoft games are harder than wukong if you want them to be. Summons, spells, cheese strats (standing a km away and spamming arrows even before the fight starts). I have 100% ER, DS3 and Sekiro but I still really like Wukong's difficulty. Main endgame bosses can be difficult but if you find them too difficult you can go do a questline to get a vessel to make it easier (Kinda like Margit and Margit's shackle in ER. Erlang and yellow loong were genuinely hard fights imo much harder than a lot if not most of the fromsoft non dlc bosses. Basically if GOW and souls mixed but it works Graphics wise: Beats everything Story wise: Amazing lore and much easier to understand than souls stories (Not necessarily a good thing but then I doubt your average gamer likes needing to read item descriptions and watching lore videos to understand what the game is trying to tell you) Combat wise: Honestly really good. Not much weapon style variety though Main Bosses (Lots of side bosses are cool but not really rememberable) : Mostly fair and there are many multi phase bosses as well. Builds: Due to less weapon type variety this is where the game lacks the most but there are some interesting ones like the poison build and finding what transformation/spell/vessel/spirit is best for that particular boss is fun. Best thing is the free reset.
I agree that the game is significantly easier compared to Elden ring but why not handicap yourself to make it more challenging, for example don’t use spells(especially the freeze one) or use transformations. Currently what I’m doing and it makes the game more fun.
When you said “this game is too easy” I felt like damn maybe Im trash, but then you mentioned HIM. that fucking rat 😂 the yellow wind sage was fucking hard. It took me almost 2 hours, I was playing like it wasn’t a soulslike and I was getting destroyed, this game 100% a soulslike I think they lied so they would not scare ppl away.
the headband 紧箍咒(Jin Ji Zhou) he wore at the first scene is given by Buddha to 唐憎(Tang Zheng) to Wu Kong that able to bind Wu Kong when he's trying to do anything bad to his master or something else. the headband will start to shrink and tighten around his head when the monk start chanting. hence why wukong unable to keep his form in the first scene because how much it hurt. As to why it still there after he done his journey with the monk I have no idea. I know the lore but not entirely since i did not study the whole lore out even finished their old to shows but which i recommend watching
We'll find out eventually. A Chinese streamer has been playing this for 30+ hours now and has uncovered multiple endings. We may find out why the Jingu circlet came back. Though it is interesting that during that early part of the intro WuKong said he made sure his master and scriptures were safe first before confronting the army of the Celestial Court.
i went in expecting it to be a souls like from what I've seen in those early gameplay videos when it first got announced but I've just completed chapter 1 so far and let me tell you ive had nothing but god of war type of vibes from it and that's completely fine.. is it difficult? so far not that difficult and that's also fine, is it fun? fuck yeah I'm having a blast. not every game needs to be super difficult to be fun, not every game has to have the same mechanics and stuff in souls to be fun not every game needs to be a souls like i think its a nice change of pace and a brake i speak for my self when i say this as a long time souls player since og demons
Souls like is such an ass term. Not every game is comparable to the souls series. Mayhaps judge the game by itself and what it does not always go “hmmm is dis like da souls?”. Judge a game by its own merits and not always go the souls like direction.
Never called itself a souls-like. Everyone who is upset about it not being a Souls-like game brought their disappointment on to themselves. Pretty sure people have forgotten that no difficulty scaling is not a Souls-like thing. That's been a common thing for decades.
People like you must think that playing souls-like games makes them a god gamer or some bs like that. Want truly difficult games - go get top 200 in sc2 or play gunz:the duel. Souls nerds are such an annoying crowd honest to god
Yeah one of the marks of a AA game is that they are not very good with sequence breaking. Elden Ring you can mostly run around kill what you want when you want because the developers thought of that. I wouldn't expect the same thing here.
This is a beautiful video, my guy. I loved the stream, too, and I loved how you actually talked about the game with honestly and not glaze it because they get paid or something
Ngl I already thought the game looked to easy. I’d be more interested in it if it was harder. I’m not gonna buy a game for 70€ and breeze through it in 25h. I’ll get it on sale tho it doesn’t look bad
Only 2 minutes into the video and 4 chapters into the game, and it’s definitely a soulslike. A much easier (except a few bosses) one but still a soulslike nonetheless
If the game reminds you of a souls game while playing it, its a soulslike period. Regardless, i don't get the hype around Wukong as a character anyways. He's never been interesting to me in any way even in the slightest. It's funny to me because now there will be controversy if Kratos ever gets close to the Chinese pantheon xD I'd like to see Kratos kick the shit out of Wukong in a future god of war game.
Calling bosses easy when its more like the game is better designed and less cheap than a fromsoft game. Unlike fromsoft, this game gives you a good dodge and tighter controls and a camera that isnt cancer.
How tf is hollow knight, a 2d side scrolling game considered a soulslike??? Bruh what’s next, tetris is soulslike?? It’s incredible how backwards these soulstards are
People think every game with dodging and combat like this is a souls like and if it is then every souls game is just a shitty imitation of old action mmo games
For me.its not souls like at all. Nit even the challenging part. Its more of steller balde even with thebhighest difficuty with that game. Its an action RPG simple as that.
Elden ring is not even hard it’s just unforgivable when you get hit. Make a great build and the game gets steamed rolled. Wokong is not hard because you could take damage, but if it had one shot mechanics it would be just as hard. Games don’t always have to be like a souls game to enjoy.

in terms of combat this is nothing like souls games. The combat is fast, agile, responsive, reflex-based, and there is a ton of offensive skill expression and abilities. All of this is the polar opposite of what souls combat feels like
ever heard of Thymesia?
totally agree with you bro, Elden Ring is easier to me than this because my playstyle is hit and run, but this one is not even the same, small arena and so much action in first 5s most the boss
@@surprisepikachuface2071 Yeah, I watched a review from a Russian guy called SonnyK, and he was complaining about how there are too many bosses and that he wants an open-world game. It’s definitely not for people who prefer more exploration and less complex combat encounters.
In fact, I feel like Sekiro players are more likely to enjoy this game than any Soulsborne player, because Sekiro is more combat-oriented than Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or even Elden Ring. Sekiro legit requires you to play that chess of combat and concentrate on the death-dance.
Dark Souls and Elden Ring require less multi-tasking and are much simpler mechanically. Sekiro and Black Myth: Wukong require you to haggle with a lot of mechanics, which is not something everyone can do ’cause just like in your example, there are people who are better at less mechanic-dense combat games.
@@danielantony1882 bro sekiro is harder than Black Myth Wukong, for real the aim lock by the bosses get me leave the game especially the crow from sky, its hard fr than any elden ring clown
imagine If Wukong is open world, it will be insane
@@surprisepikachuface2071 Well yeah, obviously. But again, Elden Ring is easier because that’s what you can deal with. Me personally, my brain can’t cope with the fact that Elden Ring bosses fight like Sekiro bosses while I have the basic functions of a DS1-DS3 character, more or less. I legit don’t know what to do with a simple moveset that has huge animation-locks.
It's not a soulslike.
The devs said it's not a soulslike.
God of War is not a Soulslike.
Can people that don't understand what makes a game a "soulslike," please stop calling everything a "soulslike."
It doesn't have the level design, crit/backstab mechanic, many upgradable weapons, the stat/upgrade system, or multiple other game systems that make a game a soulslike.
A game with Checkpoints and stamina does not make a game a Soulslike
Stop, it's embarrassing.
Clearly is
It’s absolutely a soulslike.
It does have crit system, an upgradable weapon system. As for the stat system I guess if you count armor changes and stuff
@randomguy3080 No, by Crit, I don't mean a % increase on certain attacks. I mean like the backstab in Souls, visceral in Bloodborne, or stunned poise break "hit the glowing icon" for big damage in Elden Ring, etc.
This game is clearly a God of War-like, with incremental weapon upgrades and armor types with passive bonuses, etc.
Every game with "stamina" and "Checkpoints" are not a soulslike.
The difficulty is really about the stats. If the dev really wants to increase difficulty, they can totally get rid of immobilize and increase boss damage.
or u can play without the spells too
Wouldn't the game be harder if you just didn't upgrade as much? Worse equipment and stats would make fights last longer. Elden ring is an easy game if you play it with all the tools available to you. This game looks no different to me.
fair point
It’s not a souls like and it just has souls like elements
its easy for souls vet but actually quite hard for other ppl. I've seen plenty of ppl ditching the game because it is "too hard" no I'm not joking
I would prolly ditch the game due to it just not working. I saw a ton of reviews saying how they couldn't even get the game to start, specifically on amd. That's a pretty big issue.
Lol souls vets are pussies. Play nioh. Hell, play any contra without the Konami code.
Can totally relate on the Yellow Wind Sage. Got stuck on him last night after breezing through everything up til that point.
yeah its not a soulslike, it plays more like the newer god of war games if you had to compare it to other games
It’s absolutely nothing like god of war. It’s very similar to Nioh 2, which is 100% a soulslike.
19 Achievements at the end of Chapter 4? You probably missed most of the optional boses which are the most fun and challenging, explore more :)
Why do people care if it's a soulslike, eldenlike, thislike, thatlike. If you want soulslike, play Dark Souls lmao.
At this point bro, Fortnite and Apex is PUBGlike, Valo is CSlike, Overwatch is Leaguelike, League is Dotalike, Dota is Starcraftlike, Roblox is Minecraftlike, Minecraft is Legolike.
Apparently it has been stated that this isn’t Sun Wokong more like a descendant of him.
The game is easy for you not because it's easy, it's simply because you're too good. One reason I never spend time learning frameworks or studying game algorithms is because they are the bane of destroy any enjoyable gaming experience, just focusing on building a stylish character is the way I play.
i gotta say i dont think steam/people know what a souls like is since they marked god of war a souls like 💀💀
🗿🗿🗿
I’m at the start of act 3 and the black loong secret boss has been the most challenging for me his stupid ground attack. It took me like 7 times to beat him.
This game seems sick, don't think I'll be able to run it on my PC so it'll have to wait for a future build unfortunately
This game is literally the live or dead debut for game science both in reputation and financial perspectives. So I am okay if this game is too easy for hard core gamers, cuz let’s admit, majority of the player still prefer relaxing game experience. All I hope is they release a dlc for some challenge mode.
Before the game even came out, the creator of the game said it wasn't a soulslike game.
I wouldn't actually call this game a Souls-Like at all. It just feels like a linear story game with the occasional big arena and secret.
It has souls-like aspects, but it isn't one overall.
People see cool boss "it's a souls games look"
@ImCroozy lol yeah it just has the checkpoint system with respawns of a soulslike, the healing system of a soulslike, the experience gain of a soulslike, the linear world of a soulslike, the dodge stamina combat of a soulslike... but it's not a soulslike 🤦🏻♂️🤣
@@taxicorky yeah, its a DMC-like
@@taxicorky thank you these people Are insane, they really are trying to convince people that it isn’t a souls like game.
People see checkpoints and drinking a potion and immediately think its a souls-like .When did a souls-likes give you a whole new moveset? Other than the 'aspects' from souls-like games, it's not a souls-like at all and you're dumb if you think it is.
I wish content creators never discovered souls games because now everything is a souls game for them lol
Black myth wukong does share some souls aspect, but ultimately, it has its own thing going for it
Why does it matter if it's too easy or too hard? Just play the game and enjoy it for what it is. Not every person will like the aesthetic or difficulty of ER or DS games. Me for example, I could care less to play Elden Ring, I've played older Dark Souls games but that's about it. I've played Remnant 1& 2 which everyone says is just a souls-like with guns. Those had difficulty modifiers which could appeal to different skilled players. But Wukong being one set difficulty is not a bad thing. Why not just give props to the devs for making a great first game? If you want a souls game to make you cry in frustration, just stick with Elden Ring. Not every game has to appease your souls itch. You spending hours in Elden Rings DLC should not have any comparison to this game because almost every souls like game is going to be easier than ER. Just face that fact. This game is for a broader audience and just a love letter to their culture and stories. I doubt the devs WANTED the game to be hard asf and make their players frustrated. So leave it at that.
People keep are saying it's not a souls-like but then compare it to games like DMC or . It's definitely way closer to souls than anything else mentioned
Nothing like DMC, that's action adventure and hack 'n slash like old GoWs. This is ARPG, like The Witcher, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, etc. with bonfires, stamina and camera angle taken from Souls. FromSoft games I've played are Sekiro and Demon's Souls, and this doesn't actually play like either of those. Soulslikes I've played are Mortal Shell, Steelrising, Little Witch Nobeta, Lies of P, Code Vein, Asterigos, can't remember if others.
GOTY no competition
The one or two arguments for not a souls like..
1. You do not lose anything upon death.
2. The developer said so
The countless arguments for is a souls like..
1. Stamina bar
2. No difficulty setting
3. Large Emphasis on dodge rolling
4. Rest stations which regenerate heals and respawn all enemies in the environment
5. Heavy emphasis on boss design
6. Multi-phase boss fights
7. Weird yet interesting lore
Its a good game, point. And I'm very happy that I played elden ring before because my experience is a little bit smoother and enjoyable.
We don't have to compare every games we play, we can simply just play.
Id argue it is a soulslike. U have the bonfire, dodging, "some hard bosses" (not gon spoil), ng+ system, many secrets, different endings.
The fighting style is more like nioh 2 but i would argue that nioh 2 is a soulslike. The only reason why the hordes r crying is bcs its too easy.
"Theres no way to make wukong easier" never heard of leveling have ya.
I would call it maybe a souls-lite instead, it has elements of it but does it's own thing it's more akin to the Jedi games that take certain mechanics from souls games but is more of an action game at it's core
If Wukong is a souls-like, then you better agree that Sekiro is a Souls game. If not, your logic is fundamentally flawed. 😂
I cracked up at the licking pole comment. 😂 definitely Wukong mischief there bro.
Linear boss run with a ton of invisible walls, laggy feeling attack combos and very laggy heavy attack. The levels look flat and boring, also there is no actual map which makes it worse.
Wish they released a demo. Regret paying full price for this cheap feeling game.
This game is NOTHING like Dark souls or Elden Ring.
This game is amazing, but the variety of what you can do is not enough for a game about wukong.
For me is a solid 8, but honestly if it had 2 styles combat (staff and martial arts) and maybe 3 or 4 usable transformations at a time and not just one, it would have been game of the decade.
Still, is a very fun game and, when is not stuttering, i am really enjoying it
Wait, no block button? This game really isnt beating the Souls Clones accusations.
Relying on rolling, Souls ALWAYS did that, except Bloodborne.
And the game not having Difficulty Selection is the worst part. Only Souls masochists are used to that.
If the devs really want to scrap the Souls comparisons, then they gotta pull a SIFU & patch Difficulty Selection in. I hate that a common video game feature would have to be patched in when it shouldve already been there, but it's literally the only thing that separates other games from Souls.
I'll stick with Star Wars Jedi Survivor for now. I just got it finally, and people compare the Jedi games to Souls, even though Difficulty Selection is there.
As a soouls masochist I wish the wukong had a difficulty option so I can put it on hard. I reached chapter 5 and most amountof attempts a boss took was 7. And that's one only boss. Most bosses were killed first try
@@Walt_Xander94 Black Myth Wukong is not just rolling it is about perfect dodging and u can parry.
It’s a fucking soulslike. I don’t care what yall say. It’s a hard game. When I boss can send you all the way back to the shrine in 3 fucking hits, yea it’s a bit difficult.
First time playing a action RPG game?
Boss Rush: Wukong is really the proper category not Souls-Like. Gratz on your gaming accomplishments. FYI, not everyone can game everyday let alone 8-12hrs a day to get to elitest lvls of game play. Most ppl game 20-30 hrs a week bc they have lives outside of gaming. I imagine the difficulty is scaled for the majority not the minority. Furthermore, Souls games (except ER) start out on the same lvl but as a player further progresses they have more flexibility to scale the difficulty. Elden Ring difficulty is a joke bc you can break the game from the start making it either stupid easy or stupid hard.
If its souls like it is trash its that simple.
Instead of souls-like, I’d call it a Ninja Gaiden like.
"This game is too easy"
"Im only up to chapter 2"
3:00 hey so that's not how quotes work when i say im almost done with chapter 4 of 6 total chapters
I am in chapter 6 and it really doesn’t get harder tbh, it’s mindless spamming spells and overwhelming the boss before he can do anything really
@@khaleddwl5192 What did you expect? It’s not a souls-like.
Not sure what this most controversial souls like you are talking about is but Black Myth Wukong is a fun game that is not a souls like it much more similar to god of war or biomutant
No one cares if it's hard just give a good game that's all the story matters more
I would say the thing that this game and souls like have in common is they get boss fights right in grandeur ways a lot of games in memory have really struggled with it
It feels like a boss gauntlet, which they said it wasn’t, still great and having fun but already feeling the repetitiveness and not sure there’s replay ability here.
The game has 81 bosses which translate to the 81 trials the whole team had to go through in the Journey of the West.
Yellow Loong and Erlang are way better bosses than yellow wind sage, Yellow loong in my opinion is the hardest boss in the game, it's missable so you probably missed him
games easy but its fine. I absolutely hate the freaking invisible walls though. That stuff took me out of the game so fast its insane. How can I see my target and yet cant walk to it cause invisible walls?
Imma start of by saying I can’t put this game down but let’s call it what it is & not kid ourselves , You guys can kill me all you want but this game 100% plays like a souls like in its combat. And it is not even close to DMC, kingdom hearts, bayo, metal gear rising, ninja gaiden etc etc. saying this is not souls like is saying nioh and stellar blade aren’t souls like which they definitely are. Circling around the enemy waiting for openings time and recovery windows on enemies, no real air combat or combat, no juggling, no actual button combos or button delay combos, no double jumps, no style meter or combo gauge, no actual crown control. You have archers sitting at the top of building and instead of having a move set to actually jump up and hit them or pull them towards you or being able to dash in from long range like bayo….you have to find a alternate route to actually go and find and hit them just like in nioh. This game feels like nioh and a little bit of god of war……guys we litteraly have bonfire check points & estuss flasks come on. You can transform into spirits like nioh, it has A STAMINA BAR…..imagine dmc having a stamina bar with only 1 wepon and you completely take away air juggling and just air combat in general. That’s a completely different game
It is a soulslike for sure.
2000hrs is 83 days
Soulslike or not this game clears every single from software game and u cant deny it but can cry about it 😂
This souls-like, git gud, I’m a souls vet this is too easy for me cringy shenanigans really has to stop.
personnally I've been playing the game without the spells, +20 hours, certain bosses are "easy" but some I litteraly spent hours on. I've never played any other Action RPG where I spent hours on a boss other than souls games and Monster Hunter. Despite that the game does have a ton of souls like similarities, I can feel that it's not only souls inspired. So i think it's fair to see the game as a souls like depending on ur playing style since the game gives you a lot freedom. Mobs can be also very tricky.
Fromsoft games are harder than wukong if you want them to be. Summons, spells, cheese strats (standing a km away and spamming arrows even before the fight starts). I have 100% ER, DS3 and Sekiro but I still really like Wukong's difficulty. Main endgame bosses can be difficult but if you find them too difficult you can go do a questline to get a vessel to make it easier (Kinda like Margit and Margit's shackle in ER. Erlang and yellow loong were genuinely hard fights imo much harder than a lot if not most of the fromsoft non dlc bosses.
Basically if GOW and souls mixed but it works
Graphics wise: Beats everything
Story wise: Amazing lore and much easier to understand than souls stories (Not necessarily a good thing but then I doubt your average gamer likes needing to read item descriptions and watching lore videos to understand what the game is trying to tell you)
Combat wise: Honestly really good. Not much weapon style variety though
Main Bosses (Lots of side bosses are cool but not really rememberable) : Mostly fair and there are many multi phase bosses as well.
Builds: Due to less weapon type variety this is where the game lacks the most but there are some interesting ones like the poison build and finding what transformation/spell/vessel/spirit is best for that particular boss is fun. Best thing is the free reset.
I agree that the game is significantly easier compared to Elden ring but why not handicap yourself to make it more challenging, for example don’t use spells(especially the freeze one) or use transformations. Currently what I’m doing and it makes the game more fun.
When you said “this game is too easy” I felt like damn maybe Im trash, but then you mentioned HIM. that fucking rat 😂 the yellow wind sage was fucking hard. It took me almost 2 hours, I was playing like it wasn’t a soulslike and I was getting destroyed, this game 100% a soulslike I think they lied so they would not scare ppl away.
The game is a soulslike game
I was getting frustrated with that boss, especially cause of the tornado and him staying out of bounds. Finally beat him yesterday though.
I must have a different version the wolf and big head whooped my azz
the headband 紧箍咒(Jin Ji Zhou) he wore at the first scene is given by Buddha to 唐憎(Tang Zheng) to Wu Kong that able to bind Wu Kong when he's trying to do anything bad to his master or something else. the headband will start to shrink and tighten around his head when the monk start chanting. hence why wukong unable to keep his form in the first scene because how much it hurt.
As to why it still there after he done his journey with the monk I have no idea. I know the lore but not entirely since i did not study the whole lore out even finished their old to shows but which i recommend watching
We'll find out eventually. A Chinese streamer has been playing this for 30+ hours now and has uncovered multiple endings. We may find out why the Jingu circlet came back. Though it is interesting that during that early part of the intro WuKong said he made sure his master and scriptures were safe first before confronting the army of the Celestial Court.
i went in expecting it to be a souls like from what I've seen in those early gameplay videos when it first got announced but I've just completed chapter 1 so far and let me tell you ive had nothing but god of war type of vibes from it and that's completely fine.. is it difficult? so far not that difficult and that's also fine, is it fun? fuck yeah I'm having a blast. not every game needs to be super difficult to be fun, not every game has to have the same mechanics and stuff in souls to be fun not every game needs to be a souls like i think its a nice change of pace and a brake i speak for my self when i say this as a long time souls player since og demons
Bro says its too easy but keeps calling it a soulslike. Gtfoh........
try NG+, I heard it is harder.
Lore is also more important in this game than in other similar games.
Souls like is such an ass term. Not every game is comparable to the souls series. Mayhaps judge the game by itself and what it does not always go “hmmm is dis like da souls?”. Judge a game by its own merits and not always go the souls like direction.
Never called itself a souls-like. Everyone who is upset about it not being a Souls-like game brought their disappointment on to themselves. Pretty sure people have forgotten that no difficulty scaling is not a Souls-like thing. That's been a common thing for decades.
I get that it appeals to a wider audience. But I’m not really interested in steamrolling through a game…
It’s too bad it’s not more difficult.
People like you must think that playing souls-like games makes them a god gamer or some bs like that. Want truly difficult games - go get top 200 in sc2 or play gunz:the duel. Souls nerds are such an annoying crowd honest to god
Yeah yellow wind sage is a pretty fair boss. But theres certain animations if love to have for my character
Wind sage is kicking my ass right now lol
Yeah one of the marks of a AA game is that they are not very good with sequence breaking. Elden Ring you can mostly run around kill what you want when you want because the developers thought of that. I wouldn't expect the same thing here.
This is a beautiful video, my guy. I loved the stream, too, and I loved how you actually talked about the game with honestly and not glaze it because they get paid or something
I think there is data somewhere that indicates that mentioning the phrase "soul like" for action rpg games get more clicks.
Ngl I already thought the game looked to easy. I’d be more interested in it if it was harder. I’m not gonna buy a game for 70€ and breeze through it in 25h. I’ll get it on sale tho it doesn’t look bad
Not a souls like more like GOW
It’s not even close to being similar to god of war. It’s 100% a soulslike.
@@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll no it’s not it’s like GOW and Elden ring 200% not a soulslike.
Lmao call it what you want. I'm 20 hours in and it's definitely a soulslike 😅
Comparing a game that is yet to be finished, to a game that has already been finished? How thorough is the review.
Wait... There was an item that made the wind sage easy... Damn i no wonder i got clapped... Oh well i clapped him back so it doesn't bother me now
Only 2 minutes into the video and 4 chapters into the game, and it’s definitely a soulslike. A much easier (except a few bosses) one but still a soulslike nonetheless
This reminds me of wulong dynasty without the leveling systems
Let's face it. Soulslike is just a marketing term nowadays that developers and game companies slap on their game to attract more potential customers.
If the game reminds you of a souls game while playing it, its a soulslike period.
Regardless, i don't get the hype around Wukong as a character anyways. He's never been interesting to me in any way even in the slightest.
It's funny to me because now there will be controversy if Kratos ever gets close to the Chinese pantheon xD
I'd like to see Kratos kick the shit out of Wukong in a future god of war game.
It's not soul like of course, but it good and fun to play. That is enough.
Calling bosses easy when its more like the game is better designed and less cheap than a fromsoft game. Unlike fromsoft, this game gives you a good dodge and tighter controls and a camera that isnt cancer.
I'm sorry but idk how games like Hollow Knight and Another Crab's Treasure can be considered "soulslike" but this one isn't.
How tf is hollow knight, a 2d side scrolling game considered a soulslike??? Bruh what’s next, tetris is soulslike?? It’s incredible how backwards these soulstards are
It reminds me a lot like Dynasty Warriors. Same play style and similar boss fights. High pace mob killing rpg. With the same difficulty
The game is closer to God of war than anything. It has a few souls like mechanics but it's nothing like them.
People think every game with dodging and combat like this is a souls like and if it is then every souls game is just a shitty imitation of old action mmo games
For me.its not souls like at all. Nit even the challenging part. Its more of steller balde even with thebhighest difficuty with that game. Its an action RPG simple as that.
Elden ring is not even hard it’s just unforgivable when you get hit. Make a great build and the game gets steamed rolled. Wokong is not hard because you could take damage, but if it had one shot mechanics it would be just as hard. Games don’t always have to be like a souls game to enjoy.
