Best Games Using Unreal Engine 5

With the release of GTA 6 on the horizon, there's no doubt that Rockstar's upcoming title will once again shatter numerous sales records , securing its place as one of the best-selling titles of the decade. Until then, though, we have already seen several heavy-hitters during the 2020s that have reached millions of lifetime sales mere months after launch. Notably, a number of the best-selling games of this decade are new IPs rather than sequels to established games — even if some are based on existing entertainment franchi


As reviews have come in, including our own , it’s become clear that critics have generally enjoyed it. It garnered an 82 percent rating on OpenCritic , receiving praise for its polish, visuals, and combat, and, more importantly for me as an Asian gamer, successfully translates the Chinese mythology of monkey god Sun Wukong into a compelling action


It seems like the breadth of independent development power in the industry right now is more impressive than it's ever been, with a plethora of studios plugging away at sequels to successful games or set to release exciting new titles. It could be said that this is the pinnacle of an indie game boom, with smaller teams able to more than pull their weight against larger behemoth studios with millions of dollars in backing.

One of Black Myth: Wukong 's transformations shown in the final trailer sees the Destined One throwing snowballs at enemies using two long tentacles. As the enemies are hit by a snowball, they are only briefly stunned, but it may still be long enough for players to flail the Destined One's tentacles around to ensure they go down and remain that way. Two other transformations change the Destined One's head, with one appearing to be a balled-up cluster of corpses and the other resembling a larva. A final transformation for this segment of the trailer sees the Destined One as a beast of some sort who wields a large blade and can breathe f

The mentions of "feminist propaganda" and "politics" are damning enough on their own, but the restrictions on mentioning the pandemic or China’s game industry are completely bizarre. I fail to imagine why anybody would want to bring up COVID-19 in their coverage of a video game, nor why Game Science would see this as a real risk to the image of its game and preemptively try to mitigate t


If the final trailer for Black Myth Wukong tips Myth: Wukong accomplishes anything, it is that it all but confirms that the game will be more than simply fighting boss after boss. That said, even if it were a boss rush, it would likely still be an engaging experience with what has already been revealed about Black Myth: Wukong 's gameplay. Thankfully, however, players will find plenty of interesting characters scattered throughout Black Myth: Wukong 's world, feast-for-the-eyes environments, and plenty of secrets around the darkest corn
