Recently, the company reported that the game has surpassed the 30 million sales mark , likely boosted by the Phantom Liberty expansion and the massive 2.0 update. While it is still notably behind The Witcher 3's success ( which sold over 50 million units ), let's not forget that Cyberpunk 2077 is just the first game in its franchise, so the results are more than impressive and well-deserved. Not to mention that Cyberpunk 2077 has also been confirmed for launch on the Switch 2, suggesting another notable boost for the game's sales in the coming ye

One of Black Myth: Wukong 's most complex and developed characters is Bajie, a major character in Journey to the West who now fills the role of partner, mentor, and guide to the Destined One throughout most of the game's story. In the novel, Bajie is characterized by his laziness to some degree, but his respectful and soft-hearted side is often revealed in his love for Sun Wukong, whom he affectionately refers to as "brother." His relationship is best defined as warm, and it's easy for readers to endear themselves to him as a result. In Black Myth: Wukong , on the other hand, Bajie's most prominent characteristics are his arrogance and recklessness. However, his unbridled commitment to the game's protagonist often exposes the same tenderness of the character he is based on, as he can't help but see his old friend when he looks at the Destined One. The unifying element among these takes on Bajie is how likeabe he truly

Black Myth Wukong Collectibles Myth: Wukong takes place in mythological China, with it being loosely based on Journey to the West. This isn’t really about Wukong himself, or the trickster’s actions through the ancient writings, but instead you take up the mantle of his successor of sorts. You play as a young, voiceless monkey many years after the fall of the god. You basically go along a similar path, trekking through a long and treacherous journey to recover many of Wukong’s relics and restore realms to their former glory. Well, more or less. The world is in less of an appealing state, with leaders being driven mad and there’s a struggle for power. Aiding these areas isn’t your main objective, but it just happens to be the side effect of following in Wukong’s footsteps.

Where Winds Meet ​​​​​​is an open-world​ martial arts fantasy RPG set in the quasi-historical Ten Kingdoms era. The player is described as a wandering swordsman embroiled in war and conflict, who has to choose between upholding his moral code and giving in to the world of blade and blood. This could indicate some degree of branching narrative within the game. There is a heavy emphasis on platforming and traversal with exaggerated parkour-esque abilities. He can run on water, jump multiple times in air, and cover the height of low-level buildings in a single l

Immortals of Aveum was among the first games powered by Unreal Engine 5 to bet heavily on visuals, and from that standpoint, this original, magic-infused FPS delivered .

Developed by Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio, Lies of P is eerily reminiscent of Bloodborne . It caught the eye immediately when it was unveiled back in Spring 2021, thanks to a grim, Lovecraftian setting mixed with some diverse enemies and flashy combat. The game follows Pinocchio as he looks to navigate the city of Krat, while using a unique 'lie' system that affects gameplay dynamically based on his interactions. While the story of Pinocchio is an extremely well-known one, Lies of P promises to feature a retelling the likes of which hasn't been seen before. Offering visceral, challenging combat against some of the most creative enemies seen in the genre, Lies of P is an extremely exciting proposition. While the game doesn't yet have a release date, it is expected to arrive sometime in 2
