This year, fans can look forward to the release of another potentially great representative of the genre. Black Myth: Wukong is officially gold and ready for distribution on all platforms.

Competing head-to-head with games like Elden Ring, this title will offer unique gameplay in which the Monkey King, adapting the classic Journey to the West, will fight against several of the most imposing bosses possible.

Black Myth: Wukong will offer a mix of melee combat with weapons like a spear and elemental abilities that the main character will have to fight the bosses. The variety of enemies seen in this title is astounding, and that is one of its best qualities.

Many fans are eagerly waiting to see this game in action; few titles have generated as much hype as this one. It will be a direct rival to all Soulslikes from the past few years, including Elden Ring and everything FromSoft has done with this genre.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
