    The fact the devs might start their own "Black Myth" franchise adapting different Chinese mythological figures is pretty hype.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @raulrojas9253 3 месяца назад

    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.

    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.

    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.
