Alright, buckle up for a visual feast that'll make your eyeballs do a happy dance! Forget "photo-realistic" - this is "myth-realistic" on steroids. Unreal Engine 5 doesn't just show off; it struts around like the cool kid at the gaming party. Every pixel is so gorgeous, you'll want to frame screenshots and hang them in an art gallery. The bamboo forests? So misty and atmospheric, you'll be checking your room for fog. Wukong's fur? So detailed, you'll be tempted to reach out and pet your screen!

Hold onto your controllers, folks! This isn't your grandma's button-mashing adventure. It's a Souls-like combat system that's more flexible than a yoga instructor. Fancy transforming mid-fight? You got it! The gameplay mechanics are so smooth, you'll feel like a mythological shape-shifting ninja. Each victory feels so earned, you'll want to do a victory dance in your living room. Pro tip: Clear some breakable items before playing - your celebratory moves are gonna get wild!

Grab those headphones, because this audio experience is about to take you on a wild ride! From the epic clang of Wukong's staff to the soundtrack that could make a statue weep, this game doesn't just have sound - it has an audio orgasm. Every note, every grunt, every whisper is crafted with such precision, you'll forget you're not actually in ancient China battling mythical beasts.

Listen, your PC is gonna need to hit the gym for this one. It might shed a few tears, whimper a bit, but trust me - it'll be the most glorious workout of its digital life. Don't even think about running this on your grandpa's dusty old laptop. This game demands respect, power, and probably a small sacrifice to the gaming gods.

Think of this as a mental gymnasium where your reflexes are the dumbbells. It's not quite Dark Souls (thank goodness), but it'll make your brain cells do push-ups. Boss fights? More nail-biting than a season finale of your favourite TV show. Precision is key - one wrong move, and you'll be restarting faster than you can say "monkey magic"!

Calling all completionists! This game has more layers than a fancy cake. You can dive deep without feeling like you're doing homework. Want to collect everything? Go for it. Want to just enjoy the ride? Equally awesome. It's the gaming equivalent of a choose-your-own-adventure novel.

Journey to the West gets a glow-up that would make Shakespeare jealous. This isn't just a story; it's a narrative rollercoaster with more twists than a pretzel factory. Character growth? Check. Lore so rich you could spread it on toast? Double-check.

You're not just buying a game - you're investing in an experience that'll have you cancelling plans and ghosting your friends. The price tag? Totally justified. It's like buying a first-class ticket to Mythological Awesomeland.

A few tiny hiccups that are about as noticeable as a mouse at an elephant convention. For a game this ambitious, it's smoother than a freshly waxed surfboard.

Listen up, fellow gamers! Black Myth: Wukong is what happens when you take Chinese mythology, sprinkle in some absolutely mental game design, and crank the visual fidelity up to eleven. Unreal Engine 5 isn't just a game engine here—it's a bloody time machine that transports you straight into a mythological wonderland.
The combat? Prepare to have your gaming skills thoroughly challenged and your reflexes tested. It's like a dance of destruction where every parry feels like winning the lottery and every dodge is a middle finger to impossible odds. Wukong's transformations aren't just cool—they're game-changing strategies that'll make you feel like an absolute legend.
Visually, this game is so stunning it'll make your graphics card weep tears of pure joy. From misty bamboo forests that look like they've been plucked from a classical painting to epic battle scenes that'll have you picking your jaw up off the floor—it's a visual feast that puts most AAA titles to shame.
The sound design? Crikey, it's like an audio orgasm for your ears. Every monster's growl, every weapon swing, every atmospheric whisper is crafted with such precision you'll feel like you're actually there, battling mythical beasts.

Overwatch 2: The Sequel That Wasn't

Well, well, well... if it isn't the most ambitious bait-and-switch in recent gaming history! Imagine throwing a party where you promise everyone a five-course meal, but when they arrive, you serve them the same crisps they had last week - except now they're slightly crumpled and you've painted the bag a different colour. That's Overwatch 2 in a nutshell, folks!

Let's address the elephant that's not in the room - the PvE campaign. You know, the ENTIRE REASON this sequel supposedly existed? Turns out it's about as real as my childhood pet unicorn. Blizzard spent years promising us this groundbreaking PvE experience with hero talent trees and story campaigns, only to quietly bin the whole thing while continuing to market it. That's not just moving the goalposts; that's taking the goalposts home and pretending they never existed!

Credit where it's due - they did backtrack on their initial hero monetisation after the community grabbed their pitchforks. Now you can unlock champions through achievements, which is nice... if you're still interested in playing at this point.

The "upgraded" engine is a bit like getting a new haircut that looks exactly like your old one, except now your head itches. Yes, performance is better if you've got the hardware for it, but the visual improvements are about as noticeable as a ninja in a night club. The weird plasticity sheen they've added to everything makes spotting enemies about as easy as finding a specific snowflake in an avalanche.

The game play changes feel like they were designed by someone who watched the first half of an Overwatch tournament with the sound off. One immortal tank, instant-death DPS, and supports who are basically DPS with a side hustle in healing. It's as balanced as a one-legged flamingo on a tightrope.

--{ Rating: 3/10 }---

Verdict: Overwatch 2 is less of a sequel and more of a cautionary tale about the dangers of corporate promises. It's the gaming equivalent of ordering a fine dining experience and getting a reheated ready meal instead. The core gameplay still has moments of brilliance buried underneath all the disappointment, but that's like praising the lifeboat arrangements on the Titanic.

Recommended? About as much as I'd recommend using a chocolate teapot. Save your time, keep your fond memories of Overwatch 1, and maybe go touch some grass instead. At least the grass won't promise you PvE content it never intends to deliver.

PS: Dear Blizzard, next time you want to completely re-imagine a beloved game, maybe try imagining having some integrity first?

Oh what you used to be and what you are now. Such a shame on the potential this game could have. Yet Sony and the Devs lack creativity and engagement creative to push this game to its limits. I'll still love the game, but a huge disappointment nevertheless.

Crash after crash after crash. Might as well rename it to crash simulator.

FI_ICK YOU EPIC GAMES. YOU'RE FI_ICKING ♥♥♥♥ AND DESTROYING GAMES BY SEGREGATING GAMES!
AND FI_ICK YOU MEDIATONIC FOR DOING THIS!

I've been a huge fan of Destiny since it came out. I've played so much of it. The combat feels amazing. The storyline is epic. The graphics are eye wedening. The multiplayer is extremely fun. What is there not to love?

Sadly I am not a fan of grindy games. It's probably not as grindy as other games, but I still hate it.

I paid fully for the game only for them to RIP me off by making it free afterward and then making paid DLCs. Even worse choice Bungee made by having paid DLCs. Felt like previous storylines/content was blocked and couldn't even access the main storyline again (WHAT I PAID FOR). Until after where they made it so previous storylines can be played again, I haven't actually had the time to check it out or play it again, but complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, wish I could sue them for taking away content that you already paid for.

Overall, as much as love the game, there is more to hate then love at the moment.

Rant:
I complete ♥♥♥♥ show and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, thanks to Amazon Games. Should they not know exactly how many people bought the founders pack? Should this information not provide on how many people will be joining the early playthrough of the game before official release. Yet, queues were massive. Not enough servers were put in place. On top of that, they stop new players from joining servers where we already play, so our friends who didn't buy founders pack cannot join. That's absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. What's the point of playing 3 days early to level up and enjoy the game, if we're going to have to do it again!
Yeah, some of you may think days are nothing. Sure, for most player's that may be the case. But for those who work and get limited time to play, this is a complete waste of time and an absolute joke as well as not respecting the players' time.
If they think just giving another founders pack on another server is enough to make up for the mistakes of the miscalculation, then they're wrong.

However, I do love the game so far. The graphics are awesome, the fights are smooth and the mechanics seem great. And I've had an absolute blast playing dungeons. The game gives a mixed vibe of so many different games that I kinda want to forgive it for its beginning release mistake. So until they do something useful to redeem themselves, I'll be staying away and keep this negative review.

♥♥♥♥ EPIC GAMES!

♥♥♥♥ you Epic Games. ♥♥♥♥ you Psyonix. Ruining such a great game.
