So really is it worth it ?

[Vurado88]

Now that the hype cooled down a bit for those who beat the game was it worth the full price also is there new game + ?

[Mr.Swan]

no game is worth the full price. wait for sale. its actually just a pretty basic game. nothing really that special about it.

I haven't beaten it yet, but it has among the best graphics out there and there's quite a bit of meat to the game. And unlike what's claimed, it's actually not very linear. First chapter is relatively linear, but not completely. The 2nd chapter isn't linear at all and the 3rd one supposedly isn't either. Dunno about NG+.

I'd say that if you like action games, this is one of the few that is worth it. But there are still some graphical glitches here & there and some launch window bugs. Still I rarely pay full price for a digital game and I'm not unhappy I paid full price for this game. Just a rock-solid action game with nice combat, lots of bosses and very impressive visuals. Honestly it's been a while since a game's visuals actually impressed me proper and this game is among them (of course you do need the hardware to run it).

Only thing this game is short of unlike most other action games is sexy ladies. But I suppose monkeh does not like teh sexy ladies.

From the subjective perspective of Chinese people, it is super worth it, like dream come true. From an objective perspective, it depends on whether you are interested in this type of game and whether you want to learn about Journey to the West. The game is not a soul like, it combines the combat systems of multiple games and has its own innovations. The visuals, art, and music are awesome, different culture, not sure you can get it.

No the hype is mostly geopolitical. No one can say the game has good story even if its based on a "classic". If all you want is good graphics and good fighting with not much else. This won't be remembered in a month's time, "oh that game, it was very pretty and something cool happened during fights".

I like the story, love the characters, and the voice acting. The hype probably will be short lived, but not because it's a "mediocre" game, I personally consider it a great game..... but as a single player one and done beat it in a week type of game, people probably aren't going back for more after it's beaten...... it's one of those experiences you remember fondly, and then move on...... and I can't speak for everyone, but I couldn't care less what a media outlet is saying about this or any game, media outlets are pure garbage these days and real journalism doesn't exist anymore.

Edit: All that being said..... wish I paid $40, but there are very very very few games that are $60 and I'm like "shutup and take my money!", I'm old school AF, I thought $60 was alot for a game in the 90s and I think it's alot for a game now!

Great game. Glad I bought it. Story good, game play good, graphics good, boss fights good, characters good and memorable, all of it good.

Only thing I wish it had was ledge climbing on the environments.

Jumping would also be nice, I always find myself mashing that spacebar expecting to jump but dodging instead lol

well, the game did have jump... it's just not use very often... i think there is even a skill that give you double jump, not really sure the point of that...

I find myself being able to jump during attacks, but I'd love just general jumping to be a thing.

Not remembered in a month? Is that your professional opinion? Mine is that it'll be goty. Let see who's right. Hint, It won't be you.

You can jump in the game, it's bound to control on keyboard by default

Well damn! All this time! lol thanks..... this is almost as bad as the time I played through several Elden Ring playthroughs before learning you could lock on targets xD
