Graphics are awesome even on High and RT OFF.
Combat is fun.
Story focused, not "the message" focused.

Thirsty gamers, releases have been unremarkable lately and this one is fairly fun and polished.

China has a lot of national pride and gaming in china consists of almost entirely mobile games...

This is a global release, single player game that is absolutely gorgeous and otherwise excellent that is super well receive. So you see a lot of proud people from china hyping it up (as can be seen in the reviews)

However that said, don't let it detract from the fact that this is an absolutely wonderful game and has a TON going for it. Even when not on peak china hours it still gets around 500k players which is damn good.

Bottom line is roughly 70-80% of its popularity (based on concurrent play peaks) are from China and gamers in that country are VERY proud of this game (as they should be.)

That said it is absolutely an excellent game in its own right and deserves most of the praise it is getting.

It's popular in China because some mythical popular story in China is used in this game.
Monkey dragonball Goku is in this game.

I mean Journey to the West which is the Sun Wukong story is classic literature. You might have heard of Dragon Ball and all of it's sequel releases? Goku is an interpretation of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is a major fictional character that has been in a ton of stuff.

It is popular because it is what looks like a continuation or adaptation of parts of Journey to the West. It has been successful because the devs just wanted to make a good game.
