Kind of wish they’d had put a spin on the Souls Like genre. WuKong’s a monkey, you’d expect more gymnast movement like being able to use the terrain to wall-run, jumping off of cielings, grabbing in combat or some kind of buff from balancing on rooftops or poles.

You could see a mechanic of stealing someone’s useable item in a fight or undoing armor, even just throwing things like an expensive vase to annoy a boss into a rage.
Something the yakuza devs did that I really liked in their spinoff games (judgment and lost judgment). Is that their new protag has chinese/ japanese inspired martial arts techniques that branch away from the older yakuza games more boxing/wrestling inspired fighting styles. They incorporated wall jumping/wall running moves that make u feel fluid and lightweight compared to kiryu, and alot of the different styles have specific niches to them that are best used in specific situations such as Crane being for multi target since its weak damage but AOE and very fast attacks, tiger for DPS and individual fighting, snake for defensive stances and countering enemies when cornered and in tight spaces. And they all reflect their real life instances that they're best utilized quite well. The games are sadly way too easy if uve played any of the previous games at least once or twice and realised that u can stack up on stimapps and all that shit. But the core gameplay and experience are very well made, and if the devs could just add an extra difficulty modifier where health items and other crutch shit isn't available it would be great. We need more variety in terms of enemy design, innovative mechanics, and level design based encounters for games in the future. Games like elden ring and wukong feel so basic since the only real mechanic ur using in fights is the roll button... and I bet the devs are too scared of trying to make specific adjustments and mechanics for bosses in sh*t like elden ring cus they focus too much on giving u alot of different builds that play very differently from one another in termw or character movespeed, dmg, and movesets and some random dude might have a far worse time on the game if he were to go greatsword rather than a katana on a boss that attacks at 500 MPH... So all enemies end up feeling like homogenized mobs with very slight variations in look and movement, but at the ebd of the day only require you to do one thing which is roll and roll and rolll and.... roll again.
You don't play as the real Wukong, you play a different monkey who is a very serious boi. Spoilers, but when you get further in the game and actually fight the real Wukong, he styles on you in funny ways that pokes fun at how serious your monkey is.

we know how it is- Black panther where basically the whole cast is black? Diverse. a Chinese game set in chinese mythology has only chinese people? Not diverse. (keeping in mind that this game has one of the most diverse enemy cast i've seen in a long while - there are a ton of different enemy types, minibosses and bosses)
the game’s devs are genii only sexist lmao what are you on about? and diversity isn’t referring to the enemy variants. No one is complaining about the lack of black people or people other than asian, they’re just angry that the game devs are as sexist as they are
@@dreadboi1859 "they’re just angry that the game devs are as sexist as they are" Ahh so we have a wokeboi here that has drunk the coolaid. The sexisty BS is just a made up controversy to throw shade on the devs.
@dreadboi1859 get over it, lol do you believe everything the mainstream news outlets tell you? This is fake outrage at its finest. Run along and go find something else to be outraged over. I hear resetera is looking for new members.
Is it just me, or does it look like your basic attacks do almost no damage? Every video I see of this game, people are whaling on bosses, and it seems like your attacks do little damage.
The light attacks do little damage, but build up Focus, which is needed to mix heavy attacks with your light attack combo. And that's what does real damage and sometimes staggers the enemy.
you can get skills to boost your damage as you level up. you can boost the damage of your combos and get the stamina tree skill where dodges dont break combos and then you can use the attacks and dodge sequences to set yourself up. The final hit in the combo can cover a lot of distance so its a pretty effective way of closing the distance against really agile characters that dodge and move around fast.
I'm only 4 hours in but so far the central flow of combat is you build up focus with light attacks then unleah heavy attacks for more damage. Way it works is during bosses you hit quickly when you can do so safely then find moments to combo into a finisher that spends focus for big damage. It feels better to play than it might look in a video.
These should make a great epic RPG, similar to Wukong, where you play as a Kotaku intern in the heart of China on a quest to find the diversity. The main goal is to find and interview the last black Chinaman in all of the land, who keeps claiming he holds a claim to the Mandate of Heaven because he and his people were once kings. Along the way, you could get interesting sidekicks, like a rice farmer with a funny hat, and a talking pig, who you will have to save many times through groundbreaking spine-tingling and ultra-difficult QTE segments, so that he does not become dinner for the rice farmer, or get captured by the CCP for defamation. Then they just have to make it an Epic-exclusive, add in a few pre-order editions with knock off Chunko-Pops, and it will be a guaranteed 10/10
The "gameplay" should also be something akin to a sony movie game or even better a telltale game, where the player doesn't even have to do anything 90% of the time, and can instead take the time to really bask in the glorious dialogue of our diverse cast selection. We wouldn't want to make our modern audience feel left out if they were asked to actually play our games.
The game has mistranslations, So many people dont realize that resolute strike is actually a parry that dramatically changes how combat flows because of the mistranslation. I posted a video showing how combat is supposed to flow
It's not controversial. Chinese, Japanese and Korean games have hot girls. In those countries, making good games is the way to make money, instead of making every character ugly for DEI bucks.
@@032_m.alfathcirrus5Yes it is mediocre on every metric. This game took how long to develop? And THIS is the end result?! No mini map, linear gameplay, extremely repetitive combat system, no story telling into Chinese myth or Wukong lore, it's just a straight up souls like garbage. Chinese developers can't make games, this is overhype marketing trash. Everything feels pointless and redundant. Just because you were given toilet water in a desert, doesn't make it "good" water.
@@horacevu Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what Souls-like do? No mini-map? I think you just dislike the genre. Criticizing the wonky hitbox is one thing, at the very least Synth did that and it made so much fuckin sense but no mini-map? You nuts?
We need more eastern developers getting into gaming, stellar blade and black myth wukong might not be perfect games but their thousands better then 90% the western slop we’re fed every year. As cringe as it is to say these games are a step in the right direction as long as they don’t sell their souls to ESG like most big Japanese companies, I would take 10 black myth wukongs and stellar blades over 1 dustborn or assassins creed any day.
I agree People critic this games as every western Game is Elden ring and not DEI TRASH like the one of the guns, Concord, suicidesquad lmaooo they look the same : shooters about diverse characters 😂
The amount of goofy criticism this dude gets is getting hilarious. If they do ban Synthetic Man. I will pick up the torch. You all should do the same. Not only it might benefit us with cash but it could help the ideology. I'm saying it's a win win. Making money while doing what this bro does. We will not get iced without a fight.
Kudos on you for calling out China's AstroTurf around this game. Most anti woke channels refuse to call this out. Probably why you're one of the only reviewers I still watch
@@FynnRosenzweigits almost as if communism is just capitalism in disguise. Once the revolution is done, the suits will just buy up the country thats been destroyed by the red mob (who got all their funding from bankers btw). Dont actually into any of this, that would be very bad!
@@FynnRosenzweig They're communists who believe capitalism is the best way to build communism, just like how they believe a totalitarian mega-state is the best way to build a stateless society.
I gotta say that for once I actually agree with every single critique in your review. You summed up all the thoughts I’m having playing this game so far.
Worth noting that there is only one light attack string, its the same across all 3 stances, it doesn't change, just the heavy attack in each stance changes. There is an unlockable spear that has different light attack animations, but there same thing applies there too, you will looking at that the the rest of the game and everything else has a cooldown and mana requirement.
There I was thinking Synthetic Man was just a common woke outrage farmer but spicy due to lack of self-censorship brainwashing. Admittedly I haven't seen many videos yet. But God damn, this video is literally the ONLY one on this whole deranged site that has above room temp IQ takes about this game and provides a real, fleshed-out opinion instead of mindless hype or outrage. Thank you kindly my man 🙏🏻
All of his major reviews go into this kind of depth on the games. It just so happens that if the game is extremely woke then he'll talk about it more than if the game isn't woke at all. That stuff is cancer.
People just don't give his reviews a chance and listen to what he is actually saying. Or they don't know what woke means and don't notice when woke stuff is clearly getting sneaked in. Ex: Fallout tv show review where people somehow liked it and pretend that it wasn't woke.
It is very strange that no single review of this game I have seen so far mentions an obvious shortcoming of the gameplay. Namely, while the play character is a monkey (and not just some arbitrary one, literally the monkey king!), the movement and body form, however, are very humanoid. With the most disappointing consequence of which being that one can not climb like a monkey. How can this be? Not only could this have added at least a little more fun in the levels being able to climb on stuff and not just having to follow linear paths (with invisible walls everywhere), but it would have also been a very nice mechanic in the bossfights being able to climb on big bosses (as one can in Dragon's Dogma or Shadow of the Colossus). It is a missed opportunity in my view that would have made the game very unique among the other character action games.
That's just a complete matter of preference. I don't see how climbing would've improved this game in any way. If anything, that would've made traversing levels more annoying and time consuming, because you'd have to watch out for another traversal mechanic. Maybe it'd be interesting for boss fights in a dragon's dogma fashion (regarding climbing on monsters, or above them), but eh, even then...
@@SyndicateOperative There are a number of possibilities to help the player to find out wether or not one can climb on something. In God of War, for example, there are temporary markers added to rocks which can be reached (if I am not mistaken?). A similar game mechanic is also used in Sekiro for indicating whether or not one can reach something with the grappling hook. I'd say the gameplay in Sekiro is so good, 'because' the character has a high mobility also in vertical directions through the grappling hook (which he can also sometimes use in boss fights). It just makes a lot of fun in this game to traverse the levels with this mechanic. And I am missing a similarly enjoyable gameplay in BMW. There are a few cases in Black Myth Wukong where I really wished the character would at least have a more extended jump ability. For example in the prison area there is this one archer on a ledge which is very tricky to reach, among other similar cases.
I watch a lot of Chinese and Soviet movies and honestly that stuff is closer to normal Christian sensibilities than almost everything produced in the western world post 1950.
I really do appreciate this game as a "Souls-Lite". To be frank I hate most of the boss fights in Dark Souls (DS3 is the only Fromsoft game I've finished), they may have grand spectacle but you'll also often find bosses that basically hard counter your chosen build. And let's not forget the trademark Dark Souls "sprint through a dozen enemies only to start the boss fight at half health". None of that here. You can retool your abilities as often as you like, unlimited experimentation, also a deep flaw of Dark Souls (and even Elden Ring). Wukong is a streamlined Dark Souls and I find it highly successful in that aim. Some people might call Wukong "easy" but actually fighting the bosses in Wukong is a heck of a lot more fun than Dark Souls, which is good because that's basically all Wukong is.
Wukong feels more like Nioh than Souls which is funny since Nioh is a Soulslike. I guess Souls-lite kind of works for that but it feels like it makes for an unfair comparison somehow. That said I'm in the minority of people who have grown tired of Soulslikes. Bosses in those games now have too many tedious delayed attacks in their combos and the genre is starting to feel samey. Almost every boss in Lies of P and Elden Ring's DLC were just obnoxious. People in this comment section are saing Wukong's mid but I honestly don't think so. It's an easy 8/10 for me.
@@sd5919 My opinion of Wukong is certainly helped by this only being my third entry into the genre (after DS3/Elden Ring). I do love the exploration in Elden Ring though, if we ever get a Wukong 2 with an open world it'll be one of the best games of all time.

The biggest problem with it seems to be almost zero visual indication that anything is happening at all. The engrish text wouldn't have mattered as much if it was clear when it did something.
I don’t know Synth, 1M in sales outside of China in less than a week is crazy good for what amounted to a gotcha game dev studio & virtually no western marketing. There is a good chunk of Westerners buying this game to spite Journos and wokies. I know this because Im one of them. As far as astroturfing goes Palworld was one of the most astro’d games this year. I got fooled into buying it just to play it once for 1/2 hour and never again. At least w/Wukong they can back it up w/gameplay. • Ps on a side note- the Ch. 2 final boss was the hardest boss I ever had to face in a video game..! After over 30 attempts he finally went down, and man I never felt so accomplished in a game.
No one is saying 1 mil outside China is bad. He's was pointing out how that is evidence that this game is being astroturfed. Also, buying mediocre games soley to spite shitlibs is cringe as fuck.
Synth being one of the few who can objectively review this game is proving once again that he is the best reviewer on RUclips in the current year.

> I can't wait for Ubisoft to release their new assassin's creed game Why bother, Wukong already provides the superior experience of playing as a monkey in an ancient Asian setting.
Not sure what your point is - I'm quite sure that if you looked into it the game would have a far shorter dev time than any AAA title of the last 10 years. The only time these guys wasted was the 2 hours they spent laughing when Sweet Baby Inc tried to strongarm them into compliance.
six years or something, but i suppose that good though. When you're from rich country you kinda forgot, developing country didn't your have same standar yet
I absolutely loved Wukong, one of the best action games out there and harder than most Souls games, its linear and simple, no annoying collectibles or large expanses of meaningless encounters/camps, a ton of enemy and boss variety, story is better presented than any dark souls or elden ring. of course its no perfect game as it has some noticeable flaws, some really annoying hitboxes on larger enemies, I'm not sure about the stances being separate skill lines and requiring so many points, I think they could have really interwoven them better, kinda like how Nioh does it, theres a decent amount of skills and build variety but they could have added more core moves for Wukong, and some other stuff that can be nitpicked. But overall easy 9/10.
gotta say to point out both the negative and positive aspects of the game WHILE taking in to account the over all picture and experience is a skill that not many reviewers would had in this age of corporate shilling, good review
The new "AAA" trend: push another souls-like game made by a small company because people have been complaining too much about big companies doing the same thing.
Good review, man. I feel the same way. I hope these new companies improve in their next games and give us more options to the West AAA (dead) or the Japanese AA-AAA scene. The West is lost, and is trying to take down Japan with it. It's a tough time to be a gamer.
Am I the only one who doesn't look into all this bullshit when it comes to gaming? Only thing I'm ever worried about to be honest is does this game produce dopamine constantly? If it does, it's good in my book.
Loved the review man, missed all the hype around the game and was really interested to hear what kind of game it was. You genuinely sounded enthusiastic unlike in your recent reviews :D
Doesn‘t it get boring fighting boss after boss for the millionth time? Where are the interesting stories, fascinating characters, the riddles in the environment, memorable soundtracks, exploration,… Gaming is creatively bankrupt.
Come on Synthetic, Black Myth Wukong was lambasted for not paying it's protection money to the woke grifters masquerading as "diversity consultation companies". But the game is unpolished, combat lacks depth, the story is serviceable(especially like the anti-establishment vibe Sun Wukong gives off in the intro). If the woke X and IGN mob had stayed quiet this game would have made waaay less. Streisand effect strikes again.
Something i like of the game is how HAS THE BALLS to make the final boss the level the most dfficult or the most easy : If you complete the second mission you get an artefact that cancels the second phase or reduce the power And not only that but the second missions are a giant OPTIONAL ZONE with more content than any AAA GAME OF THE WEST lmaooo
I liked it a lot. 8/10 the characters were inspired, the story was fun and deep in lore.Also,the level design was very good. It feels like a game from yesteryear. I mean the amount of secrets was refreshing.
So god of war and the lot were all hyped by American numbers because the Chinese love these games too, I think a good game is a good game… and besides they developed this from mainland. Isn’t it fair they support their devs , just like we would support good devs here
I really wanted this game to have the spectacle and levels of god of war 3. That would've been dope. The beginning cutscene of the game is what I wanted more of, but with u actually going nuts as the player destroying everything in ur path 😂

(keeping in mind that this game has one of the most diverse enemy cast i've seen in a long while - there are a ton of different enemy types, minibosses and bosses)
the game’s devs are genii only sexist lmao what are you on about? and diversity isn’t referring to the enemy variants. No one is complaining about the lack of black people or people other than asian, they’re just angry that the game devs are as sexist as they are
@@dreadboi1859 "they’re just angry that the game devs are as sexist as they are"
Ahh so we have a wokeboi here that has drunk the coolaid. The sexisty BS is just a made up controversy to throw shade on the devs.
@dreadboi1859 get over it, lol do you believe everything the mainstream news outlets tell you? This is fake outrage at its finest. Run along and go find something else to be outraged over. I hear resetera is looking for new members.
Diverse means one of two things: 1) White-erasure,
or as the wickedness spreads it increasingly means globally: 2) Homogeneous-erasure.
Haven’t seen one black person complain or care 😂

No woke nonsense, just gameplay. This is how i like it.
Is it just me, or does it look like your basic attacks do almost no damage? Every video I see of this game, people are whaling on bosses, and it seems like your attacks do little damage.
Yes, the fights are very long and tedious.
The light attacks do little damage, but build up Focus, which is needed to mix heavy attacks with your light attack combo. And that's what does real damage and sometimes staggers the enemy.
you can get skills to boost your damage as you level up. you can boost the damage of your combos and get the stamina tree skill where dodges dont break combos and then you can use the attacks and dodge sequences to set yourself up. The final hit in the combo can cover a lot of distance so its a pretty effective way of closing the distance against really agile characters that dodge and move around fast.
I'm only 4 hours in but so far the central flow of combat is you build up focus with light attacks then unleah heavy attacks for more damage. Way it works is during bosses you hit quickly when you can do so safely then find moments to combo into a finisher that spends focus for big damage. It feels better to play than it might look in a video.
These should make a great epic RPG, similar to Wukong, where you play as a Kotaku intern in the heart of China on a quest to find the diversity. The main goal is to find and interview the last black Chinaman in all of the land, who keeps claiming he holds a claim to the Mandate of Heaven because he and his people were once kings. Along the way, you could get interesting sidekicks, like a rice farmer with a funny hat, and a talking pig, who you will have to save many times through groundbreaking spine-tingling and ultra-difficult QTE segments, so that he does not become dinner for the rice farmer, or get captured by the CCP for defamation. Then they just have to make it an Epic-exclusive, add in a few pre-order editions with knock off Chunko-Pops, and it will be a guaranteed 10/10
The "gameplay" should also be something akin to a sony movie game or even better a telltale game, where the player doesn't even have to do anything 90% of the time, and can instead take the time to really bask in the glorious dialogue of our diverse cast selection. We wouldn't want to make our modern audience feel left out if they were asked to actually play our games.

There is an unlockable spear that has different light attack animations, but there same thing applies there too, you will looking at that the the rest of the game and everything else has a cooldown and mana requirement.

Most of his reviews are like that. If not all of them.
I'm part of the anti-woke crowd and I don't even watch his stuff often. I get his points, but I wish he'd offer alternatives.
Synth has consistently had some of the best takes on games regardless of what you may think of his politics
All of his major reviews go into this kind of depth on the games. It just so happens that if the game is extremely woke then he'll talk about it more than if the game isn't woke at all.
That stuff is cancer.
People just don't give his reviews a chance and listen to what he is actually saying.
Or they don't know what woke means and don't notice when woke stuff is clearly getting sneaked in.
Ex: Fallout tv show review where people somehow liked it and pretend that it wasn't woke.
This review was more in depth than Griffin Gaming's noobish review
griffin is a hack stop supporting this grifter
It is very strange that no single review of this game I have seen so far mentions an obvious shortcoming of the gameplay. Namely, while the play character is a monkey (and not just some arbitrary one, literally the monkey king!), the movement and body form, however, are very humanoid. With the most disappointing consequence of which being that one can not climb like a monkey. How can this be? Not only could this have added at least a little more fun in the levels being able to climb on stuff and not just having to follow linear paths (with invisible walls everywhere), but it would have also been a very nice mechanic in the bossfights being able to climb on big bosses (as one can in Dragon's Dogma or Shadow of the Colossus). It is a missed opportunity in my view that would have made the game very unique among the other character action games.
That's just a complete matter of preference. I don't see how climbing would've improved this game in any way. If anything, that would've made traversing levels more annoying and time consuming, because you'd have to watch out for another traversal mechanic.
Maybe it'd be interesting for boss fights in a dragon's dogma fashion (regarding climbing on monsters, or above them), but eh, even then...
i play monke i climb
@@SyndicateOperative There are a number of possibilities to help the player to find out wether or not one can climb on something. In God of War, for example, there are temporary markers added to rocks which can be reached (if I am not mistaken?). A similar game mechanic is also used in Sekiro for indicating whether or not one can reach something with the grappling hook. I'd say the gameplay in Sekiro is so good, 'because' the character has a high mobility also in vertical directions through the grappling hook (which he can also sometimes use in boss fights). It just makes a lot of fun in this game to traverse the levels with this mechanic. And I am missing a similarly enjoyable gameplay in BMW.
There are a few cases in Black Myth Wukong where I really wished the character would at least have a more extended jump ability. For example in the prison area there is this one archer on a ledge which is very tricky to reach, among other similar cases.
Player Character is NOT Sun Wukong

Whoa racism whoa
I really do appreciate this game as a "Souls-Lite".
To be frank I hate most of the boss fights in Dark Souls (DS3 is the only Fromsoft game I've finished), they may have grand spectacle but you'll also often find bosses that basically hard counter your chosen build.
And let's not forget the trademark Dark Souls "sprint through a dozen enemies only to start the boss fight at half health". None of that here.
You can retool your abilities as often as you like, unlimited experimentation, also a deep flaw of Dark Souls (and even Elden Ring).
Wukong is a streamlined Dark Souls and I find it highly successful in that aim.
Some people might call Wukong "easy" but actually fighting the bosses in Wukong is a heck of a lot more fun than Dark Souls, which is good because that's basically all Wukong is.
Wukong feels more like Nioh than Souls which is funny since Nioh is a Soulslike. I guess Souls-lite kind of works for that but it feels like it makes for an unfair comparison somehow. That said I'm in the minority of people who have grown tired of Soulslikes. Bosses in those games now have too many tedious delayed attacks in their combos and the genre is starting to feel samey. Almost every boss in Lies of P and Elden Ring's DLC were just obnoxious. People in this comment section are saing Wukong's mid but I honestly don't think so. It's an easy 8/10 for me.
@@sd5919 My opinion of Wukong is certainly helped by this only being my third entry into the genre (after DS3/Elden Ring).

Its a decent game I suppose, but how long was this game was in development?
Not sure what your point is - I'm quite sure that if you looked into it the game would have a far shorter dev time than any AAA title of the last 10 years. The only time these guys wasted was the 2 hours they spent laughing when Sweet Baby Inc tried to strongarm them into compliance.
six years or something, but i suppose that good though. When you're from rich country you kinda forgot, developing country didn't your have same standar yet
I absolutely loved Wukong, one of the best action games out there and harder than most Souls games, its linear and simple, no annoying collectibles or large expanses of meaningless encounters/camps, a ton of enemy and boss variety, story is better presented than any dark souls or elden ring.
of course its no perfect game as it has some noticeable flaws, some really annoying hitboxes on larger enemies, I'm not sure about the stances being separate skill lines and requiring so many points, I think they could have really interwoven them better, kinda like how Nioh does it, theres a decent amount of skills and build variety but they could have added more core moves for Wukong, and some other stuff that can be nitpicked. But overall easy 9/10.
gotta say to point out both the negative and positive aspects of the game WHILE taking in to account the over all picture and experience is a skill that not many reviewers would had in this age of corporate shilling, good review
The new "AAA" trend: push another souls-like game made by a small company because people have been complaining too much about big companies doing the same thing.
Nothing but honest, every single time
Good review, man. I feel the same way. I hope these new companies improve in their next games and give us more options to the West AAA (dead) or the Japanese AA-AAA scene. The West is lost, and is trying to take down Japan with it. It's a tough time to be a gamer.
The West really started dying around the 2000s. Now we’re just here to survive.
Am I the only one who doesn't look into all this bullshit when it comes to gaming? Only thing I'm ever worried about to be honest is does this game produce dopamine constantly? If it does, it's good in my book.

Doesn‘t it get boring fighting boss after boss for the millionth time? Where are the interesting stories, fascinating characters, the riddles in the environment, memorable soundtracks, exploration,…
Gaming is creatively bankrupt.
Come on Synthetic, Black Myth Wukong was lambasted for not paying it's protection money to the woke grifters masquerading as "diversity consultation companies".
But the game is unpolished, combat lacks depth, the story is serviceable(especially like the anti-establishment vibe Sun Wukong gives off in the intro). If the woke X and IGN mob had stayed quiet this game would have made waaay less. Streisand effect strikes again.
Something i like of the game is how HAS THE BALLS to make the final boss the level the most dfficult or the most easy :
If you complete the second mission you get an artefact that cancels the second phase or reduce the power
And not only that but the second missions are a giant OPTIONAL ZONE with more content than any AAA GAME OF THE WEST lmaooo
I liked it a lot. 8/10
the characters were inspired, the story was fun and deep in lore.Also,the level design was very good. It feels like a game from yesteryear. I mean the amount of secrets was refreshing.
game is overhyped by China numbers
So god of war and the lot were all hyped by American numbers because the Chinese love these games too, I think a good game is a good game… and besides they developed this from mainland. Isn’t it fair they support their devs , just like we would support good devs here
This feels like it’s taking the wrong lessons from DS3/ER and GOW 4/5. In a perfect world, this would be more like KH1.
Yeah no, fuck Kingdom Hearts 🙄
I really wanted this game to have the spectacle and levels of god of war 3. That would've been dope. The beginning cutscene of the game is what I wanted more of, but with u actually going nuts as the player destroying everything in ur path 😂
