| Game Science has had many opportunities to speak out about player perceptions of the studio and media coverage of the allegations against it. The studio’s founders are active on Weibo, [[https://www.blackmythwukongtalk.com/|source website]] and the game has social media accounts that post regularly. At least two journalists have brought up the allegations at hands-on preview sessions, and been met with refusals to comment. One of those journalists was promised a statement "related to the reports of sexism", and when she asked for the statement, was told the studio would "only answer questions related to gamepl | To use it, go to the main menu in Black Myth: Wukong and navigate to the 'Inventory' tab at the top of your screen. **Under 'Items' , click the consumable you wish to consume ** , in this case, Antimiasma Powder, and then click 'Confirm' , allowing it to take immediate eff |

| It’s clear that Game Science is very aware of the discourse around its game; it’s just actively choosing not to say anything. That isn’t really a problem in itself – while it’s a clear effort to wait the allegations out and hope they’re simply forgotten, I can understand a smaller studio choosing to just shut up and let the game speak for itself instead of creating a politicised firestorm around a decidedly unpolitical game with a statement. It’s not great optics-wise, but there’s logic behind | Thankfully, this won’t happen too often, as Black Myth: Wukong is definitely on the easier side of the soulslike spectrum, which suits its boss rush design. Running up against a brick wall of difficulty every five minutes would’ve been extremely frustrating, but Black Myth: Wukong manages to nail the balance to ensure the game’s pace doesn’t suf |

| When it was first released in China in 2015, there was a certain degree of uncertainty around how big Honor of Kings would be, or even if it would make any profits in an uncertain market. Luckily, the developers quickly saw their hard work pay off, and it's now one of the biggest and most relevant MOBAs in the country. However, the developers didn't stop there, as a new version, called, "Arena of Valor" was later released with greatly modified user interface designs to accommodate the Western market, garnering a much wider international fanb | The game is being made in the powerhouse that is Unreal Engine 5 . Utilizing photogrammetry, real-world landmarks from China like Huashan Mountain will be integrated into the game. The visual fidelity looks top-notch, although there's some FPS instability that permeates the trailer. After substantial optimization, this game could deliver the definitive wuxia experience in video ga |

| It's worth noting the game is based on the novel, Journey To The West , which does consist of a few important female characters. To not include any women or to only include a few in an adaptation meant for a modern audience is quite disconcert | These fatal flaws consist of frequent stuttering, severe lag, desynced audio, and terrible frame rates. Aside from the frustrating amount of stuttering, the frequent cutting of audio also heavily impacts your experience, especially during boss fights if you're relying on audio c |

| Beyond this tin foil hat theory being entirely ridiculous, none of it holds up to scrutiny. I’m not interested in arguing about conspiracies and giving them any credence, nor am I interested in debating whether or not the coverage is factual or not. What I am interested in is how Game Science has handled, or not handled, the controversy around its game, and how it’s continuing to kneecap itself with bad pr | The trailer for Project: The Perceiver sets up a vague but intriguing premise. The Tang Empire is seemingly annexed by the Liang regime and the unnamed protagonist is determined to repel the invading forces and free his homeland. He is set up as a theater artist who is engaging in some level of meta-contextualization where he perceives the events occurring around him as a part of his p |

| With several weapons, such as "Fist", "Drill", and "Whip" at Rayon's (the main character) disposal, players will have to choose their fighting style carefully to make their way through a world full of merciless enemies.

Hardcore Gamer's Adam Beck scored the game a 4.5/5 , praising its presentation values, world and quest design, and bosses, while being slightly less positive about the localization issues and somewhat repetitive combat by the end of the g |

| With this document, the studio has sabotaged its own strategy. Staying silent provided plausible deniability – it doesn’t have to deny misogyny or sexism if it’s not making statements at all. But the phrase "feminist propaganda" makes that plausible deniability moot by declaring exactly what Game Science – or, at least, Hero Games – thinks about the criticism leveled against it, though it’s hard to imagine Hero Games came up with these guidelines on its own. Even with so much positive hype coming out about the game, Game Science has still managed to give players pa | Occasionally, another enemy may chime in, but it isn't necessarily more challenging to fight crowds when, in soulslike games, enemies are usually not so forgiving. However, enemies do progressively become tougher at a natural rate as you progress in the game, exploring new moves, but they are still repetit |

| Their spacing feels somewhat wasteful due to the inspired setting provided, and it would have been nice to incorporate more exploration between boss fights, rather than just serving to get you from place to place in a very linear way. As you progress to Chapter 2, bosses are slightly spaced out better, giving you more to do in between, but not by m | Over the past few years, it’s become clear that we don’t need to rely solely on FromSoftware for competent and entertaining soulslikes. Lies of P , Stellar Blade , Rise of the Ronin , and Another Crab’s Treasure all launched in the past 12 months and managed to impress, but Black Myth: Wukong goes one step further. It’s the most polished, intricate, and entertaining soulslike I’ve ever played outside FromSoftware's masterpie |

| As opposed to Naraka: Bladepoint , Honor of Kings does not primarily focus on combat against other human players, but rather against bot enemies. To win, players must destroy enemy structures called turrets, achieving victory only after destroying the enemy's base crys | Black Myth: Wukong pulls a lot of its story from the Journey to the West novel. It is regarded as the greatest piece of classical Chinese literature for being both an epic adventure and filled with heart and comedy. **Black Myth: Wukong is definitely telling a darker version of this story ** and will be the highest-budgeted adaptation of Journey to the West in video game f |

| F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is mainly a Metroidvania game, but there's so much more to it than initially meets the eye.

| The game is mostly based on a Dieselpunk art style that complements the game mechanics and overall story very well. An all-around impressive side-scrolling Metroidvania, F.I.S.T. has great visuals, art design, environments, and combat. While not re-inventing the genre, it shows a mastery of its core ten | It’s a shame too, because Black Myth: Wukong gives you tons of reasons to explore. It’s a game bursting with secrets to find and optional bosses to tackle, and even includes a secret location in each chapter that houses a unique boss or two for the more diligent explorers out there to sniff out. Exploration is both extremely rewarding, yet highly confusing, and the game doesn’t do enough to naturally stop you from walking in circ |
