One of the Best games I've ever played!!

Just finished the game with True Ending and there's so many things to praise about it,

Positives :
- Visuals: Breathtaking, Next-Gen, Stunning, Glorious, you name it. Probably the best visuals I've seen amongst all the game I've played so far. Its attention to detail, little things like the swinging bamboo door curtains, or the hundreds of tiny terracotta statues that manage to look different from one another, giving it an eerie beauty. The villages look similar to how my grandma's place used to look when I was a little kid, they nailed it. The environments they create really make you feel like you're there in the game, its hard to describe; Chapters 3 and 4 were especially beautiful. Couldn't ask for it to be better.

- Characters & Cinematics: Likeable and diverse (believe it or not) while sticking to its theme of Wukong's lore. With cool ass one-liners from bosses to fight scenes that make you "Absolute Cinema". You grow to like the characters, some of them through the CGs whereas others while fighting them.

- Bosses & Combat: They found the right balance between difficulty and fun. With really Unique boss and combat designs. Unlike some other games, Bosses don't just come up and try to kill you for no reason. Some bosses fight you as they train you up, whereas others choose a less verbal form of communication.
Erlang you were one tough son of a b*tch

Negatives :
- Optimization: Could be a bit better optimized. Although it ran well 97% of the time, some areas gave frame drops and sometimes using the Spirit froze the screen for a second.

- Lack of Guidance & Direction: If not a mini-map, even a map with "M" could've been helpful for some areas, especially in Chapter 6.

Overall Rating : 9/10
