This is one of the first AAA games in awhile that has me hooked.
Combination of beautiful visuals and rewarding boss fights that aren't too frustrating.

Anyone else pick this up?

Not me but I stumbled across an article on it the day before release and watched the trailer, and my new neighbor from China sent me a screenshot of him downloading it the next day a d said he has been waiting forever for it. Just watched him via PS5 screen share and it looks pretty awesome. All his closed caption and on-screen control prompts (and audio) was all Chinese on his play, so I missed out on some stuff.

I asked and he told me wukong is Chinese for Monkey King. Did not know it was a (first?) AAA Chinese developed game

My son is pumped about this game, and it does look beautiful in the game footage I've seen.

I hate Souls like games with the tedious dodge-dodge-dodge-rush in-attack mechanism

Is this THAT type of game? or is it more like recent God of Wars than Souls?

interested in playing it, but in no hurry to start since I have to start and complete my annual playthrough of Far Cry 5 this week.

More souls-y than the modern GoW games.
Much less souls-y than anything FromSoftware has released, but more than Jedi Survivor.

I like that it's linear for the most part, but you can still go back to visit optional bosses may Bosses so far have all been very different and the game is not too challenging. It has been a lot of fun so far.

I loved Far Cry 5. Montana was a genius setting for a FC game. None of the others in the franchise have grabbed me like that one.

Yes, kind of like how South Korea released its first major AAA console game with Stellar Blade.

I'm sure this will help speed up outside investment in Chinese developers. Genshin Impact caught everyone's attention, but Wukong not being just another gacha game from China is what sets this apart imo

How is it preforming on consoles? I've been busy and haven't had the time to look into it... I've heard the game is sorta buggy.

Wish there would be an XBOX port, but it sounds like there won't be one any time soon.

I've not had any bugs yet and I'm on PS5, about 4 hours in.

I'm using the 'balanced' mode between resolution and framerate.

What's the framerate like? Do they have an option for 60 FPS or 45? I've gotten to where I really do not like 30 FPS.

That soundtrack was absolutely god-tier.

Gameplay-wise, what does this game most compare to? I don't really get what type of game it is.
