Both Black Myth: Wukong and the new God of War titles take a similar approach to action as well as progression, and both lean heavily into mythological lore, even if it's switched from Norse to Chinese. If you like one of these games, it's likely you'll like the other, but maybe don't play them back to back for fear of burn

During this phase, he will start disappearing and launching attacks from stealth. When he reappears rushing at you with his hand glowing, roll to the side to avoid the burst of spikes he'll conjure and then dodge again as he performs two wide sweeping attacks a moment later. If he reappears as he leaps into the air towards you, roll to the side to avoid his vertical swing and then do it again as he returns from the opposite direction. If he appears flying towards you with one foot raised, he's going for a stomp attack, so dodge to either side and attack after he stomps down.

Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine's new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong's staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp

The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G VENTUS 3X OC is a great performer for most AAA titles, including Black Myth: Wukong. You can expect solid performance at 1440p and with DLSS and FG, even at 4K. The RTX 4080 Super from MSI comes with 16GB VRAM, which seems relatively low compared to AMD’s offerings at this price point, but it should be enough for the high-quality textures of Black Myth: Wukong.

With large SSD hard drives being cheaper than ever, it isn't the worst time for game file sizes to be beefier than a cow, but if every AAA game coming out is over 100GB in size, it will be difficult to have much of a library of downloaded games if players aren't into the indie scene. A 1TB SSD might not even get players ten downloaded games now, especially on a PC where file sizes tend to be larger for extra graphics settings, and that's ignoring the later updates that come with many tit

While Black Myth: Wukong is a lot more bombastic with plenty of different customisation options to ensure you can play in whatever style you suit best, Sifu instead uses a rogue-lite progression system paired with unique hand-to-hand Souls-like combat controls that challenge you to try something new, all while balancing the aging mechanic that means with each death you get frailer but stron

The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7900 XT GAMING OC 20G comes with a metal backplate which makes it more rigid, but to compensate for the weight, GIGABYTE includes an anti-sag bracket. The GPU also has a dual-BIOS and LED power indicators that notify you in case of power supply issues. All this to say that you can play Black Myth: Wukong at 1440p at 60+ FPS, with the help of FSR and Frame Generation, and even hit 4K, albeit with a few settings turned down.

At least, with **Black Myth: Wukong ** , it is obvious why there is extra storage required, unlike titles like Call of Duty: Warzones and EA Sports FC 24 & 25 . The game looks amazing, just like the original trailer a few years ago that blew everyone's mind. No matter what is said about the game, it is nice to see a title that delivers on its intended promises and doesn't falsely lead players into thinking it will look better than it actually does. Ultimately, the 130GB is a steep but worthwhile sacrif

Lies of P is definitely a step up in difficulty, and it'll introduce you to Soulslike progression as well, but it takes a much more linear approach to storytelling compared to other titles it shares its genre with. The rich environments it features are similar in level of detail to those in Black Myth: Wukong but switch up the aesthetic from the traditional Chinese to a post-apocalyptic steampunk fant

Efficiency could be the issue here, with game developers doing everything to make their games look as good as possible without trying to get more out of smaller file sizes. Yes, the graphical fidelity that developers can produce will require more hard drive space , but games always tend to have bits of unused content left behind. This cut content is usually found when scouring the game files and can give many players an idea of how a title could have turned out, but they also can take up valuable storage space depending on the g

The other dangerous attack to watch out for here is the Sage summoning Fuban , a huge beetle monster, to perform a body slam. The camera will automatically shift to show you Fuban descending on the arena, so dodge to the side as it's getting close to you to perfect dodge out of the way. You can also back away and dodge to the side to get out of the impact zone, if you aren't confident in your timing.
