It is time for a new let's play series. Today we begin the journey into Black Myth: Wukong. I've been excited about this game ever since I saw the first gameplay trailer and it does not disappoint. I kind of suck at these souls-like games so it will take a while to beat this one but i am up for the challenge.

The gameplay is a lot of fun and I like that it has spells that you can use in the fights as well. The combat feels a bit like a mix between a souls game and God of War. So far I have not been able to make too much progress but it will take a little while to get used to the gameplay.

Super excited about this one and I hope you'll join me on this journey. Might do some live streams of this one as well at some point which I will probably post as VOD's and a part of the let's play series in case you don't make it to the stream. Either way I hope I'll see you next time!

Yo! Straw, how've you been? Hope you're doing well man.

I've been wondering when Straw's gonna post about Black Myth: Wukong. This thing is hyped like crazy right now, and it's worth it too I'd say. I haven't bought the game yet, will wait for now. Probably until a sale pops up, but I will certainly buy and play when I get the chance.

What are your first impressions about the game? It gives me some GoW vibes haha.

Heey! I've been doing good man. What about you?

Haha yeah it's a game I've been waiting for and really excited to play. It does seem very hyped and so far it's living up to it imo. Hope you'll be able to try it out sometime soon.

It does remind me a bit of GoW. Seems like a mix of that and a souls game. I'm having a blast so far although I kinda suck lol.

I'm doing well, bro. Thanks for asking. I'll probably grab the game during a Christmas sale or something, I don't have much time to play these days. So, it's better I wait.

The GoW and Souls mix is very true, I've felt that way about it from the beginning. The funny thing is that I've never played any of the new GoW games, nor have I ever played any Souls game lol. I have played a lot of RPGs though.

Yet, I'm up for a battle with this one. There's a first time for everything.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I just couldn't wait honestly otherwise I usually like to wait for a good sale too.

Haha well you have a lot of gaming to look forward to. I would say try to pick up one of those on sale for now while you wait for Wukong. GoW was amazing and I can't wait for Ragnarok to be released for PC.

Yep, I do have these games on my wishlist. Just need the energy and free time before I press BUY and start playing. ❎

Very Cool bro. Just watched the first 15 mins or so and the fight scene is epic. The graphics and animations with all the cool effects looks super good. And that ability which makes copies of Wukong... cute xD

Def lots of hype due to the memes

Yeah that was an amazing intro to the game. Haha that is by far my favorite ability so far. All the small monkeys attacking like that XD

Nice! Have heard great things of this game, gonna watch this asap

It's awesome so far. I think you'd like it honestly.

I'd rather not watch the video 😅🫡 I've a fear that I might want to play it! 😜😜

Saw a Wukong vlog, about the meme thats been going around about woke critics on wukong haha

I saw a vlog about that as well and how some groups in the gaming world tried to mark the game down for not having enough diversity and inclusivity in it when the characters in the game are monkeys. Absolutely absurd and I am glad it backfired. I hear nothing but great things about this game.

Hahah yeah of course someone gonna complain about that. Crazy what offends people these days.

I mean there's over 260 species of monkey in the world. These guys are just trying to make sure every last one of them gets included lol

I didn't hear about that. I try not to watch any content so I don't spoil the game :D

Game seems great. But for now it is more expensive than I am willing to pay for a game. I would probably not even pay 60 for The Witcher 4 and Witcher 3 is a perfect game for me. Maybe around Christmas this and new dragon age will have a discount. Recently I picked Dragon age 2, Dragon age inquisition and mass effect legendary edition for 15,97€. So sometimes it is worth to wait longer I guess.

I get what you're saying. It does always hurt a bit buying a game on release for 60.. Sucks that we're at these kinds of prices with some games even going for 70€. Anyway I only buy them at full price when I really like the game.

I've been eyeing this one for some days now as it's available for PC. The graphics and the impressive action scenes amazed me. What are you thinking of the concept?

I like it so far. It feels different enough from other souls-like games I've played which is refreshing. The combat is a lot of fun and the story seems interesting.

Is the difficulty hard like Souls or From Software games?

Actually it does feel easier. Might be because of the spells that you can use during battles. The first spell "Immobilize" already feels like it helps a lot as you can take these short breaks for a breather in the middle of boss fights by kinda freezing the enemy in place for a few seconds.

That sounds great. I'm looking forward to trying it out someday soon. I'm all into Uncharted 4 and Microsoft Flight Simulator at the moment.

Un juego que le tengo ganas, lástima que lo que tengo es una PS4 😔

I suppose it was a matter of time before you'd get to this one. It seems everybody's been talking about it lately. I saw some footage of the final boss and apparently there's a hidden boss as well. The combat is definitely similar to God of War. The quicktime events are also brutal and should definitely appeal to both the God of War and Dark Souls crowd. I hope you have fun with this lets play!
