The racists in IGN must be crying buckets :)

    Are you referring to their ridiculous terms restricting what streamers could talk about?

    If so how is that racist?

    Edit: nvm saw your other comment. It’s still crazy to put out terms like that though.

      It’s decent, extremely boss heavy, very linear. But the story is well done and it looks and feels good to play. If you’ve recently played Elden Ring tho, the terrain is going to feel like prison bars to you, very little exploration despite looking like you should be able to explore.

      If you aren’t into souls like type games, wait for a sale. Reviews critical about the gameplay are mostly right.

      It’s a good action with some souls mechanics (not a soulslike though), crazy good graphics, bosses and enemy variety. Should also be decently optimized for pc

      Plot wise is basically a fan sequel of Journey to the west. If you aren’t familiar with that don’t expect to understand shit about what’s going on.

      The only real tangible issue is mediocre map design (very simplistic and linear) and (some say) some balancing issues.

      In short, if you enjoy 3d actions and/or souls you’ll probably have you money’s worth.

        I liked Journey to the West, it was really funny for a thousand-plus-year-old book, but didn’t they all die at the end? Or rather, ascend to Buddhahood?

          Yeah. The game’s incipit is (spoilers ??? Literally the first five minutes of the game) >!Wukong just wants to chill on his mountains, but the other gods fear him and kick his ass. Decades, centuries or maybe millennia has passed, and now you, a monke from his village (arguably his reincarnation), are tasked with finding a way to reawaken him!<

      The people I personally know say it’s great but feels like a boss rush with very short paths to boss rooms.

    I will wait until they fixed some issues DF mentioned before I’ll buy it. (also currently busy with other games.)
