As the Destined One, you shall traverse an array of breathtaking and distinctive landscapes from the classic tale, composing an epic of adventure that is seen anew.

One of the major highlights of Journey to the West is its diverse cast of adversaries, each with their unique strengths.

Spells, transformations, and magic vessels of all manifestations, in which some counteract while others amplify, have long been iconic combat elements of Chinese mythology.
As the Destined One, aside from mastering various staff techniques, you can also freely combine different spells, abilities, weapons, and equipment to find a winning strategy that best suits your combat style.

Beneath the ferocity and craftiness of your foes lies an engaging tapestry of their origins, personalities, and motivations waiting to be revealed.
As the Destined One, you will uncover the stories behind a variety of characters, delving beyond your battles with them to taste the love, hate, greed, and fury they once held and still carry within.

Chinese here, for anyone that’s confused about the beginning, you are not playing as Wukong in this game but a character nicknamed “Destiny”, and you would go on several different journeys to unlock the secrets of the current world that are somehow crucial to the revival of Wukong. The world is set after the events in the Chinese classic novel “Journey to the west”, at the end of the novel, Wukong has finished his assigned duty and was named a Buddha by the Buddha himself, but at the beginning of the game it looks like Wukong has yet again done something that “annoyed” the celestials (because his character by design was a monkey king that does not follow any rules whatsoever) and thus was being punished, he mentioned “what I don’t understand is you killing my kind” was referred to in Chinese his fellow monkeys living with him in his mountains, so the celestials might have been slaughtering his friends as an act of punishment. At the end you could see that on his head there were a glowing ring which made him lose power, that is a direct reference to the novel that in which the Buddha put that ring on his head to restrain him at the beginning of the “journey to the west”. So the Buddha might have again activated it to help the celestials. This game has loads and loads of references to the original novel and as a Chinese this is a real treat! Really hope y’all enjoy this game and maybe dive into the “journey to the west” lore which is just a fantastic book that every single Chinese been familiar with growing up. Love you cowboy and safe travels!

Looking forward to this game so much! 😊 As an Asian lady I remember watching the TV show in the 90s. The Chinese game industry has been booming so great recently, can't wait to see what they create in the future!

Me and cowboy and basically everyone else watching this rn with our messed up sleep schedules

[NextGenGamezz]

Just checked the metrics for how many people are on this game. Damn, I knew it was highly anticipated, but over 1million people in game on launch night for a single player action game is crazy.

[Thisguy]

Not gonna lie the intro to this game goes hard 😂😂 also anyone else doing there first PT on Chinese dialogue?

Prior to watching, but waited for you to upload a part 1 before I decided to get the game or not, so excited! Thank you for the content you make!

[DasBootz]

I’m grinding this game right now and it’s incredible the gameplay is addicting

15:06 PS5 owner here… started playing right when it released. The graphics are pretty great and I haven’t noticed any frame drops. It definitely seems to be running steadily around 60. I know on PS5 there’s no way to know the Framerate for sure but it seems as consistent and smooth enough to other stable 60fps titles.

Feels like a decade since I've been waiting for this game to release.

[DrayvenWynd]

That was one hell of an opening image with all the huge guys, hope it keeps that going through the whole game.

Thank you for all the gaming content. Thanks to you. I was able to get my platinum trophy on Elden Ring. Got me through the entire game and DLC. I look forward to doing the same on Wukong.

I've read that the Dragon Ball is based on the Legend of Sun Wukong, but it really takes a visual representation to appreciate the similarities.

[sallj]

Finished Bloodborne for the first time after multiple tries thanks to your channel. Thank you so much!
