Topic: Black Myth Wukong

So Fextralife has just posted a video about his recent experience when playing Black Myth Wukong … and I’m left a little deflated I’m not gonna lie. Even though the game is by a first time dev team out of China, the gameplay footage shown over the last few years just appealed to me so much, that it has probably been my most anticipated game since God of War: Ragnarok released last year. Partly because of its souls-like gameplay, partly because of its dark reinterpretation of the Into the West mythos and just how great the combat encounters looked with some epic looking boss fights… but my normal trepidation towards games from unproven origins was superseded, probably in error tbh… for me at least. Reason being, Fextralife’s experience with the game seems to indicate it is basically a boss-rush… with very little mobs or world exploration. Now I love a good boss fight don’t get me wrong… but I honestly think it’s the exploration around labyrinthine level-design that keeps me coming back to the genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65Q6p5YSiEs Oh well, maybe (unlikely as it is) the devs are keeping stuff back from the demo.

I'm actually enjoying the game, although I find it a bit on the hard side

I'm starting Chapter 2 and this boss rush formula is getting addictive.

But - just as I feared - the game isn't greatly optimized. I'm playing on Performance and in the final boss fight of Chapter 1 there were some severe framedrops that affected the gameplay. And from what I heard it gets worse later on?
