Black Myth: Wukong

Only thing I think needs adjusting from a patch is the delay on the heal, there's a few times where I'm mashing L1 and it just isn't doing anything.

Also am a bit lost in chapter 3 currently.

I've just turned into a fox, found a giant temple but, outside of the first campfire, haven't really got any meaningful way of making good progression...

Yeah I found that a few times, press to heal and nothing until I press it again, by which time I'm having to dodge an attack :cry:

I've noticed some oddness in ghost inputs too. I try to heavy attack and my monkey doesn't do anything (yes I have enough stamina). Maybe I'm mashing too many buttons at once!
 
Thought i'll share some things i've recognised from chapter 1-3 so far.
Sun wukong - The monkey king as we know, of course this has inspired Son Goku from Dragonball
4/5 Giant warriors - 4 of the shorter one are based on the 4 heavenly kings
Erlang - Three eyed warrior, as we know is practically equal in fighting ability to Wukong. Also Tien from Dragonball was also inspired by this character
Guanyin - By default these days has always been pictured as a woman, looks like that reviewer didn't pay attention to the cutscene at the end of chapter 1.
Black bear demon - A servant/disciple to Guanyin
3/4 - They have included the 4 dragon kings as well, which so far i've only encountered 3 of them(black, red and cyan/blue) and ironically they are the same colour as depicted in a manga + manga OVA show Souryuuden/Legend of the 4 kings
A female dragon - One of the main boss fight in chapter 3, thought i'll include this here as apparently the game isn't diverse enough. Even though they have released a trailer a couple years back showing the spider demoness
Zhu Bajie/ Pigsy - Of course I have encountered the pig, who was also following Wukong + monk to retrieve the scripture, his character portrayal in the game is great
The little jewels things you get from the fox is clearly paying tribute to some of the "special" jewels shown in the book + show that have powers

Haha yea I know what you mean. The only other thing I've found to have a response issue is the dodge! Or at least I'm saying it's an issue as an excuse why I got hit :D

Are some enemies meant to be avoided ? Just ran into something called 'wandering wight' and it completely destroyed me :eek:

In that area, you want to beat Firefox first before taking on the wandering wight. You can sneak past him but I’d definitely suggest putting the time in to beat him.
 
The traversal stutters are absolutely minimal, I've been casually playing around a bit more and restarted a new game too as well and can confirm that it's just basically some minor frame hitches here and there at most - Nothing like how some reviews and gamers are experiencing, and this is with full path tracing enabled too with or without frame gen.

I'm also playing with controller just because some of the control mechanics seem to be better suited to controller use, plus rumble feedback is nice in this:


I'm actually very impressed but will still wait for a black level raise mod or patch before continuing properly. I see some ReShade mods exist now but I dislike ReShade so will await for a proper LUT or something.

All of your experience is from chapter 1 right? I've found that chapter 1 and 2 were absolutely fine - but past a certain point in chapter 3 and performance is definitely taking more of a hit and there's a bit more obvious traversal stutters. There was one part where it was a noticeable drop from an 85fps average down to 30fps temporarily.

After you get out of prison and beat the golden pumpkin head with green lasers, essentially from that point I've noticed much more obvious performance dips. It's still good for 95% and thankfully there are never any dips during boss fights, at least for me.

I've figured out the issue was me just mashing the buttons. If you press hard attack too soon after a jump, the monkey just jumps into an enemies face and gets hit...

Loving this game - One of the only 2 games recently where I slowly walk around as the monkey and pretend I am him (instead of rushing everywhere) - only other game I did this in was God of War.
