If the final trailer for Black Myth: Wukong accomplishes anything, it is that it all but confirms that the game will be more than simply fighting boss after boss. That said, even if it were a boss rush, it would likely still be an engaging experience with what has already been revealed about Black Myth: Wukong 's gameplay. Thankfully, however, players will find plenty of interesting characters scattered throughout Black Myth: Wukong 's world, feast-for-the-eyes environments, and plenty of secrets around the darkest corn

As opposed to other Chinese games, Genshin Impact needs no introduction, as it's one of the most critically acclaimed and popular titles of the last few years, and this is true both for the Asian and Western markets. Set in Teyvat and focusing on the story of an interstellar traveler who has just woken up 500 years after being separated from his twin sister, Genshin Impact will have players traverse the 7 nations in the area looking for answ

It's undeniable that Asian developers, with their countries' folklore and rich history, have created many of the most memorable games to date, widening the market for non-Western studios, and showing the gaming community what they're capable of. To showcase this, here are the best games made by Chinese develope

While some people might complain regarding the level design in the early stages of the game and the lack of variety in combat, the consensus is that Black Myth: Wukong is very enjoyable to play, even with many of its flaws and technical problems, most of which might be solved with patc

Completing a chapter in Black Myth: Wukong rewards players with access to a brand-new area, though they are still free to return to previous chapters using the shrines, which double as fast-travel points. Players will want to return to previously explored areas to interact with special NPCs that, like in other Soulslike games, often require players to talk to them multiple times to trigger certain events and reveal all the information they have to offer. There are completely optional merchants that are easily missed yet vitally important, so people who don't have patience for that Soulslike trope will likely be annoyed by how Black Myth: Wukong handles its NP

When it was first released in China in 2015, there was a certain degree of uncertainty around how big Honor of Kings would be, or even if it would make any profits in an uncertain market. Luckily, the developers quickly saw their hard work pay off, and it's now one of the biggest and most relevant MOBAs in the country. However, the developers didn't stop there, as a new version, called, "Arena of Valor" was later released with greatly modified user interface designs to accommodate the Western market, garnering a much wider international fanb

When everything clicks, Black Myth: Wukong combat almost feels like a dance. Players will dodge out of the way of attacks at the last second, unleash a devastating heavy attack to interrupt their opponent's next strike, immobilize them, and then maybe unleash a spirit to finally take them out. It can be a lot of fun, but players should brace themselves for serious frustration as well. There is a certain button-mashy nature to the combat that is made apparent in the tankier boss fights, which makes dying and starting from scratch even more tedious than in similar games. While similar games provide a euphoric sense of accomplishment when defeating their toughest boss fights, I didn't get that feeling much from Black Myth Wukong Collectibles Myth: Wuko

All anyone has had to say about 2024 is that it won't live up to 2023 , and that is admittedly a very high bar to clear . But the games were almost too good last year, at least in terms of making the awards interesting. Tears of the Kingdom and Alan Wake 2 had a right to feel hard done by, while Final Fantasy 16 and Starfield didn't even make the final six. 2024 looks to be a lot more interesting in terms of even competition, and that could make it the most exciting Game of the Year showdown ever.

It seems like the breadth of independent development power in the industry right now is more impressive than it's ever been, with a plethora of studios plugging away at sequels to successful games or set to release exciting new titles. It could be said that this is the pinnacle of an indie game boom, with smaller teams able to more than pull their weight against larger behemoth studios with millions of dollars in backing. Developers like WayForward, Drinkbox Studios, and The Fullbright Company have firmly established themselves as names to know when it comes to indie games, but there is plenty of new talent on the rise as w

The game is mostly based on a Dieselpunk art style that complements the game mechanics and overall story very well. An all-around impressive side-scrolling Metroidvania, F.I.S.T. has great visuals, art design, environments, and combat. While not re-inventing the genre, it shows a mastery of its core ten
