Is the Game Overrated?

Do you think the game is overrated or does it deserve the sales?

Wukong absolutely deserves the sales. It is awesome game that costs $60, provides easily 50+ hours of content and probably more if you want to go for completion, ie. NG+++, and has some of the most epic boss battle intro and outro scenes in gaming history. It looks great and runs reasonably well for the visual spectacle it offers. There are no micro-transactions, no play early for pre-order or similar BS. This is full game experience for almost budget price. The fact it was created by new and relatively small studio is small miracle.

*looks at all the threads in both english cyrillic and manderine complaining about bugs, glitches and general performance issues, as well as a game breaking patch. some even kept it from launching day one, and one account of a pc having to hard reset after just running the game*
yeah, im pressing X to doubt here bud.

so funny dude, even in the prologue there're tons of dialogues, not to mention in the later chapters, next time go find a better excuse

definition of dialogue : a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film.

yep, now tell me the conversation between Erlang and Wukong is not a dialogue, or the one between the spiders, or the one between zhubajie and keeper of flaming mountain, can I hear you say that by yourself

Still over 600k playing it so no.

As someone who has a really solid rig and none of the technical issues others seem to be having. I would say it is well worth it. If you like these kinds of games it is a fantastic option.

[GroovyHobo]

If anything it's underrated.

It ain't as good as Garfield Kart, that's for sure.

It's legit.

Souls players also have the worst opinions about this game because they seem to approach it like another souls game instead of Wukong.

Fight mechanics seem shallow on the surface but there are a lot of interesting synergies and variations to try as you unlock, find and upgrade gear.

Boss variety is really impressive. Every fight has been pretty unique so far and there are a lot of bosses.

It's not open-world but there is soon much side-content to find.

Cinematic cutscenes are amazing.

Soundtrack is epic. Chapter 2 is especially great with the headless monk playing bangers as you progress

Combat feels really good. I haven't felt cheesed by a boss yet or died to the camera like I did in ER

Respeccing anytime at shrines is a welcome QoL feature. You can change up your fighting style all the time based on the situation.

Like you'll find smash stance to be pretty amazing with resolute counterflow and then you meet yellow loong and he's a direct counter to that stance

Overrated as flip gueniuely

[Nrogara]

It is genuinely a great game within its genre.
Of course you have to like its genre otherwise you will not enjoy its difficulty level
My only real issue with it, is that there are some items that will be missed if you do not follow a walk-through or play NG+

Yes it is in some ways very overrated. I think the stream of disappointments this year is propping this up more than it would have in years past.

[Jax]

Yes it is. I mean it's a great game. But it's not an Masterpice like an Elden Ring, Witcher 3 or Red Dead 2. So i can't understand why it break all records, maybe it's so overrated because there are billions of Chinese Gamers out there. xD

But hey it's defenetly a really good game. One of the best Games this year for sure. It's a bit like an Chinese God of War.. Not as good as God of War Ragnarök but close to it. I would give the game an 89%

[Moffit Steel]

The game is all boss fights with nothing else boring game well and truly overrated.

[mimimimi]

No, it's actually underrated.

Definitely a GotY contender for me. Loved every moment of my time with it so much that I immediately started a NG+ to finish 100%. Only other games this year that hooked me this much was Dragon's Dogma 2 and Erdtree.
