Haven't played it due to some problems on buying it in my country but watched the entire thing on RUclips, absolutely loved it and can't wait for your lore vids.
Imagine the Atreus game he's actually in Chinese myth, and meets Wukong, who'd teach him how to control his shape- shifting better and as well as teaching him new forms
A little more background: The 16th century JTTW novel is a kind of literature what we called "累世作品" ("Lei Shi Zuo Pin", literally translates to "generational accumulative works". I think this copyright concept of is unique to China). Meaning this work is accumulatively and collectively created across multiple generations of millions of people: from the year of 629 when the real scripture-retrieving history of the monk Xuan Zang happened, to 15th century JTTW novel. basically you can think of this way: millions of people spent 900+ years, "co-write/adapt" this novel collectively, then stories are collected+adapted+created by Wu Cheng'en, published by Shidetang Publishing House in 1592. This is the most popular edition and is the version we can still buy.
You are absolutely right. when a indie studio manage to give us a superior quality blockbuster with only fraction of big studio budget, make you wonder where they spent all those talents and money all those years.
Awesome review! Btw there is a system that you can upgrade your earlier armors to mythic level at Yin-Tiger, it is a side quest in chapter 3 next to the big turtle beach. There is a Loong after beating him he will ask for pills for the Xu-Dog. You will find Yin-Tiger after this quest, and he can upgrades all your gears to high level and change its looks.😄
This game is truly something special. 9 out of 10, I deduct 1 point for the invisible wall issue. fun fact: Wukong's birthday is considered July 17 of each year of Chinese lunar calendar, which is this BMW release date: August 20th, 2024 in Gregorian calendar. In Singapore, Malaysia and other south-eastern Asia countries, it is celebrated 1 day earlier which is July 16 in Chinese lunar calendar (Gregorian calendar August 19th, 2024). So I think Game Science planned and targeted to release the game on this exact date at the beginning when they released the first trailer on August 20th 2020.
The game is a near 10/10 for me. If it weren’t for 1 or 2 terribly designed boss fights and the invisible walls and other minor stuff, it would’ve been a flawless game, but as someone once told me “there’s no such thing as the perfect game”. Still, this was amazing. A breath of fresh air compared to the other games we got here in the west.
This was a perfect blend of exploration and linearity. Perfect blend between challenging and fun. Masterclass of game design - hope that western studios learn a lesson and impacts the atreus game and future santa monica
I'm tempted I don't have PS4 or 5 to play this game but I also don't want to be spoiled for it but at the same this kaptain's first video in a month And before any confusion I wasn't looking at the gameplay when watching your stream yesterday I had it zoomed in on your face
To be fair to the Devs, you can upgrade armors to the mythical level. It's just that not every piece/set is available for that. So it's less of a transmog issue and more of a balancing philosophy.
both wukong and kratos hate their pantheon, in wukong's case Tathagata the chief buddha lied to him.....even tho Wukong became a fighting buddha himself, tathagata didn't remove the headress that tortures him, which means wukong will forever serve the celestial court even tho he wanted freedom
Careless about goty(after alll those negative about this game,I doubt those “elite” will be fair),Les buy the physical copy of the game once it releases,as well the collection of game relates.it’s sponsored up coming more chapters,and be patient for Game science to polish the new chapters!
You can upgrade the lower ranked armors once you unlock Yin Tiger, although transmog would almldt always be a good addition to a game with varied looks.
@@dragonballz64 they missed the mark on a lot things in ragnarok. For example the puzzle-like elements in combat that the franchise used to have was completely lost in Ragnarok while Black myth doubled down on it.
It would’ve been good if you elaborated on your point re: armour sets. I noticed that most reviews missed the part in relation to upgrading armour. One of the best sets in the game is the pilgrim set which you start off with and if upgraded to the max, it is an elite set.
One thing about the armors they are all part of a set, you complete the set you get the bonus. There is also later on a way to upgrade your armor sets to higher tiers, once you get the final tier most armor sets will TRANSFORM and unlock and extra PERK, but be mindful, those very rare materials CANNOT be farmed so you have to go through NG plus to upgrade then. Thats why there is no Transmog. The game has many spells but some are bound to triangle, others to square only and so on so you cannot make insane magic spells combos, there is always a drawback. You have 3 Stances with your stick and they all have their uses. Lastly you can RESET your skills points at any moment at the end of each chapter you get 1 RELIC with 3 Perks but you can only have one perk active unless you go to NG plus and get them again. THEY STACK PEOPLE so by NG PLUS 2 you can have all 3 perks of all 6 relics and become insanely OP Another thing is that the game gives you all the tools you need to succeed, consumables are very strong so USE THEM, you can also find some mats that can be farmed to permanently increase your HP, MANA, STAMINA; Stamina regen speed or 4 banes resistances aka Poison fire electricity and chill resistances. You have start with 2 curio slots or accessories slot and you can increase it by 1 once per playthrough until a max amount of 5 or so. You also have Some Staff upgrades and Spears. With The spear, your basic attack changes and some enemies are bosses are susceptible to pierce damage. Defense stat is very useful, like it actually helps you to survive, unlike other games where it ends up becoming pointless since you get one or two shot anyway. The game has a LOT of optional bosses, like a FREAKING LOT and some areas get close off or quests IF you beat the chapter boss so be mindful of that. I explored thoroughly and I ended up missing 4 BOSSES This game just keeps giving.
Second comment but i forgot. At the end of the day this game is not afraid of being what it is. No need modernize the story like many western games just for the sake of inclusivity
it’s awesome but still quite hard! I am an old gamer with 250ms reaction time at best and struggled a lot despite doing everything i could, level 100+ at chapter 6 and 60+ hours getting everything. some bosses are really hard no matter what. but feels so good !
The thing I and I'm sure most people hate about the invisible walls is that they feel like a bait and switch. If I see what looks like a path to a secret area (and probably some loot) only to run into an invisible wall, it feels like I'm being cheated. Put an actual wall there so I'm not given that initial false hope.
4:24 Tell me you haven't unlocked the Ruyi Scroll when you were at this point of the script without telling me you haven't unlocked the Ruyi Scroll. You can make every armor that's not a mob drop into Mythical grade with some new effects later on making every gear viable depending on what build you're doing.
Are you gonna make a video similar to the reaction highlights from gow Valhalla? I really enjoyed that one and i see that you have some footage recorded already
The Chinese are known to be hardworking. You can see the amount of efforts trying to perfect the game from every game details to story telling. Even they make a big fortune, they waste no time and start creating DLCs and sequels. Compared to other developers, i bet they will take a long break after amassing profits.
It's not truth and chinese in particular what I wanted to say was that there are a Lot of people and companies from different places who works as hard as Chinese you are so I asked just to stop that comparing to other developer bullshit only@shawntoo5105
I’m sorry “kratos levels of chaos” is below wukong.😂😂 although no disrespect to Kratos my man wrecked the Greek pantheon. It’s just wukong would have laughed and joked while doing it.
thats only interesting if you use everything of kratos lore, meaning even the allstars story (which almost everyone forgets is canon) otherwise they are scalingwise to far apart
Kaptain can uu explain how atreus falls out of the sky after he gets into an argument with the gang and runs to a mystic door and instead of him choosing where he wants to go he just pushes it open and falls in a random location in midgard. Someone explain pls😭
It is not stupid... who wouldnt wanna at least look cool whilst playing a single player game? Not being able to wear what you want cause the more reasonable thing to do is wear the things with slightly higher numbers on it? Thats whats dumb.
While i enjoyed this game very much, i can't overlook my problems with the game that annoyed me, the navigation is honestly very bad i feel like adding a map would have helped massively instead of going around in circles, i absolutely did not enjoy my time with chapter 5, having enemies fire at you from all directions, while getting burned was really annoying,you being able to fall off ledges but can't fall off yourself, "here is an invisible wall oops enemy knocked you off down you go." The fast travel, its the same problem i have with the new god of war games of having to go to a Pacific point to fast travel, some of the boss battles being bs like the centipede boss, i get the boss wanted you to prioritize quick dodge but it still wasn't fun. But despite those criticisms i still enjoyed the game, the world,the story,its characters especially how accurate they got wukong down in the fight, they really captured how much of an asshole he can be. Not to mention the satisfying combat. I honestly give the game a 7/10, while I'll still continue to play from time to time, the game isn't 100% for me and isn't my game of the year. That honor goes to Warhammer 40k space marine 2. Also the game is 100% a soulslike, you can't cancel out your attacks, enemies respond ECT.
The fact the devs might start their own "Black Myth" franchise adapting different Chinese mythological figures is pretty hype.
Haven't played it due to some problems on buying it in my country but watched the entire thing on RUclips, absolutely loved it and can't wait for your lore vids.
Taiwan? 🤣🤣
Imagine the Atreus game he's actually in Chinese myth, and meets Wukong, who'd teach him how to control his shape- shifting better and as well as teaching him new forms

That’d be crazy and amazing lmao, sad the chances of it happening are very low 😭

THEY GIVE YOU A REVIEW COPY?!
The devs is on the right path and congratz for getting their recognition Kuba!
Upgrading armors to top tier, and most armor sets have new models, pretty amazing
This game is deadass the Godzilla Minus One of the video game world

Black Myth wukong god of war crossover would be so epic

I didn't like the last god of war!! To me it was most overated game I've played. Such a disappointment
Glad you're branching out from just gow looking forward to more wukong videos
My game of the year! I loved this game. I've finished two play through now. I will do a 3rd , I want to get every single relic
Somebody finally said this. AFter such a long time I was hyped again to return to a world, and continung my journey in a game.
lets make this game win goty lads

why? this is not even a top 3 game this year and it's been a terrible year for games.
It has also been a fantastic journey for me, thank you a lot.
After NG+, this game was 9/10 for me. It lacked emotional attachment to the character and allies.
This game is my GOTY.
You can upgrade your armors in the Zodiac village with the help of Yin Tiger.
You can upgrade the lower ranked armors once you unlock Yin Tiger, although transmog would almldt always be a good addition to a game with varied looks.
7:46 this dude, OMG, this dude gave me most pain in my walk-through. more pain then erlang and the final boss. this dude is called Yellow loong
Omg, what a good review, def love it
Video picture is top notch
Damm i love that idea for using staff as traversial tool, this is really need to be in future dlc.
If you unlock the Zodiac Village you can upgrade your early armor!
Black myth wukong did what Santa Monica Studios should’ve done with GOW: Ragnarok.
Black myth wukong devs have said multiple times there are inspired by god of war ragnarok so Santa Monica did what there should have
@@dragonballz64 they missed the mark on a lot things in ragnarok.

Can you tell me what happened to the Greek gods after death?
Go forth in the name of Monkeeee LOL
Wait what we can change into that ball that's crazy dude that's cool
I beat the game 3x…I did it because you get Wukongs’ stance but I’m disappointed that is not a permanent stance
You should play Space Marine 2 next

@man-xy yeah that's elden ring.
Wukong no necesita el GOTY. El GOTY necesita ser de Wukong para mantener su credibilidad.
very nice
Alright folks, who's stronger. Kratos vs Wukong
Bro its not even close and like Kratos a lot.
React to rantons video "fixing god of war ragnarok", he gave the game a new better story.
holy.... r u play on a ps1??? or window97 system??? man the best part of this game is the visual and you missed all
bro did you run the game on a fridge? (just kidding)
Do video Kratos vs wukong....
thats only interesting if you use everything of kratos lore, meaning even the allstars story (which almost everyone forgets is canon) otherwise they are scalingwise to far apart
Never played any souls games. After wukong i know I'll never try

I Havnt played the game so I can’t watch the video 😭 😂
Now I dream of Atreus or Tyr traveling to the Black Myth pantheon in their future games.
why? god of war is dead.
Can't wait for that Atreus spin off
not available on PS4 ? WHYYYYYYYYY
This game would explode the ps4 lol
ps4 came out in 2013 🤡
“Transmog system.” Sorry dude, That threw me off! That’s just stupid thing. Armors are unique to designs!
It is not stupid... who wouldnt wanna at least look cool whilst playing a single player game? Not being able to wear what you want cause the more reasonable thing to do is wear the things with slightly higher numbers on it? Thats whats dumb.
