But also for extending a combo or closing a gap. Thrust is unlocked a little later, and acts almost like a spear, letting you jab from a distance, retreat, and then close the gap. So no, the world doesn’t interlock and intertwine quite like a Souls game. With Souls, it can frustrating, because their universes exist purely in-game and if I don’t understand something, I know the only answers lie in a 40-minute, interpretative YouTube video.
You know what, just watch the trailer. Instead, Will sticks with you no matter what, and not only does it act as a currency to purchase materials and craft things (more on this in a sec), it’s a means of leveling up. You can combine these with Will and other materials you nab from chests, to whip up new staves and sexy armor sets. Say you’ve felled some hulking golem with your conniving spells, and they drop some crafting materials.

Defeat an enemy and they’ll drop Will (Souls), except you don’t lose these on death! Defeat Quick as Fire first before Fast as Wind. It’s fantastic for catching a breather; a quick swig of the Gourd. Black Myth is of the Souls school of action RPGs, for the most part: you dodge bruising enemy attacks, you wait for your stamina to recover, you drink from a Gourd to replenish health (an Estus), you rest at Shrines (Bonfires), you Get The Idea. Tenacity can be fun to use, but players should keep a close eye on their HP gauge, mainly because enemy attacks won’t stop them from attacking.
Chinese videogame Black Myth: Wukong debuted on Tuesday and the number of online players peaked at 1.4 million. I can’t recall the amount of times I’ve stopped dead in my tracks and panned the camera over frescoes on rock, or idols carved into wooden panels, or the intricacy of the Chinese mythological architecture. The game includes Nvidia’s DLSS Frame Generation, which is an AI-driven technology that enhances gaming performance by generating new frames, integrating low latency for responsiveness, and utilizing the advanced features of Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture.
Game Science has not officially responded to the controversy, which has spurned larger discussions of casual sexism in the Chinese gaming industry, as well as the ongoing fight for feminist causes in China. Game Science Studio seems to have taken inspiration from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice here, but that’s hardly a bad thing. The thing is, though, I don’t mind it one bit? The names are descriptive enough, though, so it’s not too hard to figure out where you’re going. Each piece of music is carefully crafted to match the mood of the scene, whether it’s the tranquil exploration of a mystical forest or the adrenaline-pumping battle against a powerful foe.
Before cozying up with the novel, though, comes the twiddling of your thumbs on a rotund piece of plastic (or the pattern of your fingers, depending on whether you use the equally good mouse and keyboard). And every boss backs up their spectacle with cleverly designed attack patterns and behaviors, some flaunting gimmicks like laser generators to tumble over, or reanimated monks to cleave through, all measures that keep your brain as lithe as your twiddling thumbs. The presentation can be confusing, but the ending – that is, the ending I got, as there are multiple – helped several details click in my brain.
Click “Scan” and then the program will automatically start scanning your system for outdated drivers, including your graphics drivers. It will be one of the game’s earlier levels. This doesn’t mean that Black Myth’s world is one big funnel, oh no. As I said in my preview, I think its use of space is remarkably authentic, with alternate pathways that don’t feel like they’ve been laid down by a level designer’s mouse. There are times, though, when things are laid out in such a way that you think you’re able to jump over to a ledge or up a log and you’ll bonk an invisible wall. The little details, like snow trails left by your body and your staff and the way sakura blooms out of a Shrine you’ve visited for the first time? It isn’t an optional additive, but a significant change in the way the soulslike formula works. Is Black Myth: Wukong a Soulslike?
