Best Games Inspired By Journey To The West Ranked

The most recent Journey to the West video game adaptation as of this writing is Black Myth: Wukong , which provides an alternate epilogue to the tale. Here, Wukong rejects the offer of immortality after his pilgrimage and is punished by Heaven for doing so by being sealed in stone. Since then, monkeys from Mount Huaguo have ventured out to try to revive him by collecting the 6 Relics he divided his spirit into. The latest one, armed with a staff like Wukong, is known only as The Destined

Another issue that hampers exploration in Black Myth: Wukong is the abundance of invisible walls , which break immersion and make navigating the game world even more difficult without a map. Frequently, players find themselves unable to progress despite the environment appearing passable. Conversely, some players might dismiss certain pathways, assuming they lead nowhere, only to miss out on hidden treasure chests or secret areas. This inconsistency makes exploration in Black Myth: Wukong occasionally feel lackluster, leading players to wonder how much better the experience could have b


Beefy file sizes seem to be commonplace in the video game industry now , outside of small, stylized indie titles that go for a largely 2D aesthetic. Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g


One standout was Saiyuki: Journey West , a tactical RPG akin to Final Fantasy Tactics , where Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing could use their transformations in battle, with Sanzang as the healer. It didn’t set the world on fire back in the day, being a PS1 game released nearly a year after the PS2's launch. Still, Gamespot liked it enough to nominate it for their ‘Best Game No One Played’ prize at their 2001 awa


Still, comparing Black Myth: Wukong to two of the biggest titles ever made (in terms of world size and how long they take to beat) isn't the fairest comparison, especially because it is considerably more efficient than other titles over 100GB in size . For instance, Call of Duty: Warzones is terribly inefficient with its file size, considering that it is 125GB on Steam. EA Sports FC 25 is another title that asks too much for its file size, coming in at 100GB when the title used to be 50GB in 2

It has inspired a wide range of media, from books, shows, and movies to comics and video games — though some games are closer to the legend than others. Whether they let players control Wukong and co. themselves, or pit them against Sanzang’s guardians, these are the best games inspired by Journey to the We


Though many bosses in Lords of the Fallen share similar designs and combat strategies, the game's unique sense of weight in both the protagonist's and enemies' movements adds a layer of tension to each encounter. This risk-reward dynamic closely mirrors the original Dark Souls games, making it a memorable experience for fans of the ge

GIGABYTE’s WINDFORCE cooling system keeps the GPU cool here as well, which includes three 100mm fans, nine composite copper heat pipes, and a large vapor chamber. The central fan spins in the opposite direction to the other two to increase airflow pressure and this, in combination with the vapor chamber, ensures cool performance during long gaming sessions. There is also minimal RGB lighting, which may work better for some setups.
It is a compact GPU so it will fit in a larger number of cases and only requires a single 8-pin connector along with a 550W PSU. For connectivity, you get three DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a port. The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 2X BLACK 16G OC is a solid budget offering that beats out the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT , which is also a solid budget alternative.

The WINDFORCE cooling system works efficiently thanks to the clever engineering by GIGABYTE, and it works seamlessly with software optimizations such as the 0dB mode wherein the fans will not turn on till it reaches a certain load. It comes with the newer 16-pin power connector and allows for both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a connections.


Black Myth: Wukong isn't a true soulslike game , but rather an action-RPG that borrows several familiar elements. However, sometimes this borrowing doesn't fully work. FromSoftware's games are known for their cryptic NPC quests that are almost impossible to decipher without a guide. Many games that follow the soulslike formula have adopted a similar approach, Black Myth: Wukong included. Although there aren't too many side quests in the game, the ones that exist are definitely worth completing , as they offer valuable rewards, including new spe


Part history, part fantasy, part comedy, and part religious treatise, Wu Cheng’en’s Journey to the West is an iconic piece of Chinese literature. Based loosely on the priest Xuanzeng’s real pilgrimage to India, it spiced up proceedings by giving the monk Sanzang three divine protectors in the river ogre Sha Wujing, the pig Demon Slayer Game Zhu Bajie, and the magic monkey Sun Wuk
