So, the game is a huge success

[Mecharion]

But is it because its a good game -
Or is it because thousands of chinese (+bots) want it to be a good game?

I watched some streams and think about buying - but some things feel weired.

- no mini map (????!! Why?)
- the voices are just cringe (main char)
- it looks like there is one boss after another without much between
- pretty linear
- story/character is pretty flat

So yea.. It DOES look fun and i like such kind of games but there is a taste with it.

Not sure if this really is a game that i want to buy fullprice for what it seems to offer.

So if its so linear why would you need a minimap? Weird. Looks like you parrot some negative reviews together.

The main character is a monkey. So ofc he can't talk and only does uh uh ih ih while dodging or getting hit.

Sun Wukong learned to speak during his journey.. we dont play Sun Wukong.. our monke also has to learn to speak.. maybe in the second game ? Who knows.

Story is about our monkey getting Wukongs relics to turn into the next Sun Wukong. If it's flat or not.. is everyones else own opinion. Some of the chapter end videos are amazingly done and tell their own story per chapter.

And yes this game has tons of unique bosses.. to many isnt possible if they are unique.. thats the game. Chapter 2,3,4,5 however are full with secrets inbetween bosses.

If this is "without much inbetween" then dark souls 3 also is just a boss game with some runbacks.

It's a good game. Not perfect.. but insanely good given by the fact that it's their first real game. These guys did more unique bosses than fromsoft within 4 games.

You watched planet of the apes?

When this epic tutorial in the clouds started and i saw wukong i expected a deep, majestic voice... Not that "angry brat" voice.

But maybe its a taste question.

Thats true I also expected a different voice. Maybe they thought a talking monkey would sound like that.. who knows.. I suppose chinese dub sounds different.. I didnt try that yet.

But thats just a small nitpick since he isnt really in the game anymore after that.

There is a refund time of 2 hours. I played for a bit and after about 20 minutes I already knew this game had much more to offer than anything the Souls series has ever released. Combat has much more depth and you have a lot of variation in choice. This game takes the good aspects of Nioh and Ghost of Tsushima and combines it with outstanding visuals and boss design that rivals if not exceeds the best of what every Souls game has to offer, that includes Elden Ring.

Also this game was never made out to be some major storytelling game. Everything we had seen in terms of trailer/gameplay was insane visuals, combat and boss fights. If that's what you want, that's what you will get. Having other expectations outside of what was shown/told to us is only inviting disappointment.

I told myself not to waste my time in reading further what you had wrote.

Play it for yourself to at least chapter 4 and make a realistic judgement of the game after that.

[someoneproud]

It's a very good game but those are some stupid assumptions you've made. If you played it you'd probably just get stuck because you can't understand it, then blame the game for you sucking ♥♥♥♥ anyway.

Call me psychic but you don't have the right attitude, go check your streamers and ask them what game you should play, you clearly aren't ready to think for yourself yet.

"Steam Level 0" sounds about right

But maybe its a taste question.

Sun Wukong is portrayed as being irritable and in pain in practically every adaptation ever made. His golden headband is basically the equivalent of a shock collar that reigns him in every time he misbehaves.

I can't speak for the English dub as I haven't listened to it, but the Chinese voice is perfect...

Steam level 0 means their account is "Friends only", it does not mean it's a fresh account.

Chinese voice sounds more masculine. I think I prefer that with subtitles.

I dont understnad that mentality. Are nintendo games not really good because japanese ppl buy the game? Is halo not really good because american buy the game? Whats up with that? Its a chinese game based on a novel written over 400 years ago that is an integral part of their culture, of course its going to be popular there, same as halo is probably more popular in america than in japan.
