Playing on PS5, so far technically no big issues. Some frame drops here and there and one crash. Other than that game is running great and looks amazing. Combat is so satisfying and enemy designs are incredible. The boss fights really highlight how good the combat is once you understand the mechanics. Story wise, since I'm not very well versed on Journey to the West aside from knowing Wukong and knowing just some basics it has been a joy to unfold. The ending chapter animated cutscenes are a joy to look at and delve into that chapters story without giving a big exposition dump. It is mostly told via visual story telling. There is a journal in game that holds more lore about each characters and the locations you visit. Game can be a challenge, however most boss fights can be overcome by switching your build around. The game allows you to freely change your skills at the shrine, which is super helpful if you don't find yourself enjoying a spell or a certain skill. It Overall highly recommend to anyone wanting to play a fun single player game with interesting story, great combat, amazing vistas, and just looking to monkey around. Crazy to think that this is the developers first official game released. Will be keeping an eye out for Games Sciences next projects as if they put this much love and attention to their first ever title, I can't wait to see what is to come next from them seeing what they have learned from this experience.
