Mmmm monke...
Great gameplay, combat kind of like assassin's creed odyssey but good, when it comes to bosses almost everyone will have a different experience some bosses your friend will find easy and you hard and vice versa
one of the best graphics and visuals there is.
I highly recommend reading journey to the west before playing, it will dramatically change the experience and your understanding of the story

...and now we have Journey to the West - Dark Souls edition. Nothing is safe, everything must become Dark Souls.
Serious question:
Why did they decide to make the mischievous Sun Wukong, who is one of the most popular characters ever, mute and devoid of personality? The opening cutscene is what sold me on the game but the story is scarce and disjointed after that.
Also, the performance is a bit touch and go on PS5 with frequent stuttering, even on performance mode. Combat and art direction are very strong though. This entire game is essentially one long boss rush. Constant boss fights are cool and all, but personally I wouldn't mind a puzzle or platforming section every now and then. Levels are linear with lots of annoying invisible walls, but there are secrets and optional paths that lead to - you guessed it - more bosses. Luckily the bosses are all pretty fun and rewarding to fight, although they are not easy. Whoever said this game was easy can burn in hell.
There are some truly terrible sections in this game, like the tightropes in the spider caves, the disappointing flying nimbus level, and the entirety of Thunderclap Temple, but most of the journey (to the west) is a fantastic and addictive experience.
P.S. the secret final boss is amazing.

THE DESTINED ONE
Overrated,Overhyped,Overfrustrated,Overannoyed.
Why the hell was this Steam hit top chart.
Like for real,Where am I suppose to go Game Science?
The Level design is Frustrating to the fact that I was in rage from every nerves in my body.
Exploration is too weak where you run into invisible wall and makes you wonder what did you pay for.
Graphics and art direction are outstanding and the world is beautifully done but the design is so bad with no map,no marks and if you die,gotta do the whole thing which can get on your nerves.
Lies of p did much better with the level design and they didn't even included map.
Its 120gb size and you can't even explore shit,a game where Monkey cannot climb xD
Combat is repetitive,my god they give you so many points for using stances but there's no combo variety at all.
It has that gamer instinct where monkey makes sound in combat if he's hit or gives a hit and we as humans do the same when the rage hits hard,its funny.
It's like Boss rush mode where you defeat each boss to progress further.
Each fight is different and unique,they did beautiful job with boss design.
The fights are excellent but when they reach a certain limit or about to lose,they use one shot strategy or like a death wish,wasting your time and patience for just one move that's not planned according to you.
Each and every boss has one,you might wanna tread carefully.
Top takes Bottom and Bottom takes Top is just unique yo.
Creativity on bosses is just chef's kiss .
It's like the level and technical were from mobile department but everything else was made with computer department.
It's a Hit or miss kind of game.
The story is good though and the chapters are well made.
The Anime sections at the end of each chapter is selling price,its crafted so beautifully,lore is mesmerizing.
If they could have patched some updates with a map,adding a layer to invisible walls and border design making it easier to navigate,this could be good one.
I like it but I did not loved it.
Edit-If you're on second playthrough,this is masterpiece and might be GOTY,who knows!
King Kong,Donkey Kong,Sun Wukong are my brothers and I m not even a monkey.
