I had a lot of expectation for this game. First of all I love the story of Sun Wukong. Journey to the west is one of the literary masterpieces of China. One that has been told in many formats, including animated series, action movies and so forth. Thus I was thrilled and very excited for the game. Without hesitation I spend the entire money on it. Graphics are really amazing. Character design is also truly beautiful. Besides that I think, at least from my perspective that there are a lot of basic things left out.
1) There is no way of diffuculty level, so you cannot change the difficulty. Well this has been there since the dawn of games.
2) No map, but then again why would you need a map if there's actually nothing to explore. The world is extremely limited.
3) They overdid it with the graphics. It takes a lot of GPUs to process all those hair textures. Too many hair textures, no many things to process graphically. I think even best GPUs could struggle a little bit with this.
4) Fight system is good but not the best. Only evading, no way to block or even counter. This is also basic in fighting games and sadly not present here.
5) No story...At least so far I haven't seen enough story content and cinematics. The kind I would expect from such a big title.
6) There are issues with graphics and due to high GPU requirements performance is affected resulting in lags.
I mean is Sun Wukong the monkey king!!! I feel they should've made this game for all audiences. Children and adults. A pleasent and ejoyable game for the family. But instead it is focus in a very specific game play based on difficult boss fights. Gets boring really quick. Basically if you cannot beat the boss you cannot advance. Boss after Boss. To beat each boss you probably have to die several times until you figure how to evade the attacks and the right strategy to kill them. When I say strategy I mean mainly memorizing the bosses attacks, cause you cannot use strategy actually. Something like fight a fire boss with water is not here. Entirely mechanical and there are issues with the mechanics. This gets boring, frustrating and is not for everyone. I am dissapointed, Sun Wukong is my hero!
