As an older gamer I had an aversion to 'souls-like' games because the old eye/hand co-ordination slows but I was an avid Journey to the West reader and even bigger watcher of the Monkey T.V. show and I really wanted to try it. It can be challenging but not impossible to beat if, like me, you're almost 60 yrs old. It really is fun and satisfying when you finally beat that boss giving you trouble.

Honestly didn’t expect much from this. Thought it was just another flashy Soulslike that looks good in trailers and plays mid. But man… I was wrong. A few hours in and I’m completely hooked. The combat is super tight, the atmosphere pulls you in, and the boss fights? Absolute bangers. I’ve played Elden Ring, God of War, all that and this holds up. Maybe even better in some ways. You can tell the devs poured everything into it. The way they showcase their mythology, the world-building, the details… it’s not just a game, it’s a love letter to their culture. As I said , didn’t expect much, but it ended up being something special. You can feel the heart behind it.

Wukong is an excellent game with some minor flaws. The combat is great, soulslike without being so difficult that I want to bury my controller in the garden. The environments are incredible, and the plot is awesome. I've clocked 80 hours over two months, which is made up of two full playthroughs and getting every single achievement, bar one minor thing (I'll get to that) A couple of downsides; 1. And this is the only one that really bothered me - Invisible walls. As I said the level design is great and I want to explore every corner of it, so it really breaks the immersion when I want to go in one direction only to be stopped by an unforeseen barrier. 2. NG+ felt a bit like NG- - I flew through it the second time through beating bosses first try that would have previously taken me 10 attempts 3. This one is probably a more broader issue for completionists in these sort of games. Boring, grindy achievements. After travelling many distant lands, making friends and foes, and fighting a court of gods. I find myself unable to pop the platinum because I can't find one seed. My gameplay will end with me hopping on every hour or so, once the plants have replenished just to hope the RNG gods will let have a fire date seed. All that said, no game is perfect, and Wukong is one of the best games I've played in a long time, I'd recommend it to anyone.
