Highly Recommended for those who like a bit of challenge in their life

+ Very straight forward, boss -> boss -> boss gameplay with various amounts of "exploration" to get various resources, spells, skills, to help you get over the next challenge.
+ Beautiful world and graphics
+ Amazing Bosses that are both challenging and thrilling which encourages you to keep progressing
+ The gameplay is great, it really focuses on timed-dodging and trying to dissect the enemies choreographed attacks.
+ Great soundtrack

- The story / dialogue is not great, often spoken in riddles / chinese folklore. It sounds "cool", but in reality there's not much in terms of story or character development.
- Time Commitment... For some people (like myself) not having the "time" to grind, and to face a boss dozens of times to clear is an issue. I could 100% understand why someone would use a cheat menu, especially after the early Snake Boss that many get stuck on, or the Act 2 boss


~ This IS a Dark Souls style game , I know many out there are looking forward to a great action-packed experience where you feel like an all-powerful god (Like God of War?) but this game is not that. You will die, and you will die A LOT. This can be frustrating, and it may be a waste of $60+ if you are not into souls-like games.

I agree Chapter 3 is very unnecessarily long

oh, yeah. There are a handful of terribly designed bosses in this game that induce so much frustration. :D (like the dragon at chapter 3 start)

I was glad to see this game wasn't as much of a DarkSouls derivative as I thought it would be. Pretty fun, except Chapter 3 is so bloated and boring. Chapter 4 wasn't that much better either.

I find the title of your review confusing. I think open world games tend to be tremendously boring since it often forgoes good level design, and hardly any developers seem to understand how to design around making an open world interesting. This is a large part of why I feel Elden Ring doesn't hold a candle to any SoulsBorne game. It just feels sloppily designed and like a chore.

/endrant. (: Sorry about that

谢谢你对黑神话的肯定:steamthumbsup:
其实身为一个中国玩家,游戏的背景故事才是更吸引我的,
颠覆了传统的《西游记》故事情节。
游戏科学团队曾经在2010年制作过一款网游,就是以黑暗系剧情为主,颠覆传统《西游记》的故事,吸引了众多中国玩家
最后因合作方要求和游戏科学团队的理念不同,而分道扬镳,导致游戏未完成,众多的中国游戏玩家
感到非常遗憾
所以黑神话悟空真的帮众多的中国玩家圆梦了

@Abrix, it definitely is a souls-like game. You literally go from boss to boss (basically 5 minutes between each boss), and the level of difficulty goes up between each one.

Most people are saying that it's not a souls like game, what's your take on this?
