If the roar catches you, it’s not a major concern; however, you’ll know the Earth Wolf is about to use this move when it performs a swirling backstep . Use this opportunity to run away and avoid the attack.

Set in a world that's inspired by Norse mythology, you play the titular character, Senua, a Celtic warrior who must make her way to Helheim (the afterlife) to rescue the soul of her dead lover. Along the way, you defeat enemies that include malformed Norsemen and Norse Gods like Surtr, Fenrir and Hela.

While you play as a monkey with very similar abilities to that of Wukong, you start the game as just another monkey. You have a quest to find all six essences of Wukong, and there are many references during your quest that plenty of other monkeys have tried before you, and fai

The thing is, that monkey is Wukong, an incredibly popular character hailing from Journey to the West, a 16th-century novel. He is the inspiration for many stories and characters, his own tale having been told and retold many times throughout the centur

This piece will put you in the Yang state if you have more than half your health, which will reduce the damage you take but also disables the possibility to deal critical damage. Inversely, when you are under half health, you'll be in Yin state, which massively boosts crit cha

Cloud Step might be a good emergency spell in Black Myth: Wukong , but Rock Solid is a great one. It doesn't take long to notice that Black Myth: Wukong doesn't have any standard block or parry abilities in melee combat , forcing the Destined One to rely on dodges as his bread and butter. For the most part, enemy moves provide ample warning and opportunities to dodge, but some situations can feel incredibly difficult to navigate without a pa

One early upgrade for Rock Solid makes it possible to cancel at will, which can significantly reduce the risk of getting the timing wrong. Even without that, it's worth having around to trigger at the last moment when a dodge isn't going to do the tr

As far as lore goes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will take you to Japan's Sengoku period, where you play Wolf, a shinobi whose duty is to protect his lord. Many of the creatures you'll face off against in Sekiro are inspired by yokai -- supernatural creatures and entities in Japanese mythology. There are also multiple locations in Sekiro that pay tribute to historic Japanese landmarks, like the Senpou Temple, based on the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto.

The story of Black Myth Wukong happens after Journey to the West , with the heavens once again sending their armies against the Monkey King. Once more, it is Erlang Shen, the mightiest warrior of heaven and earth, who manages to defeat the mon

At the end of the story, Wukong attains enlightenment and atones for his sins , and the Golden Circlet is removed from his head. The Journey Wukong went through was arduous, and many references to it can be found when playing Black Myth: Wuk

After completing the second encounter with Zhu Bajie, players should continue following the path to reach the Gathering Cave Keeper's Shrine . The Violet Spider is in an arena just beyond that checkpoint.

This is a heavily combat-focused action game, but what really sets Nioh 2 apart is that each character is loosely based on a real-life figure from Japan's history. In fact, the main character -- that's the one you play -- is based on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a warlord who unified the country in the 1500s. We say "loosely" because the history in this game is interwoven with the world of the supernatural.
