Best-Selling Games Of The 2020s So Far

While there are elements of great design by developer GameScience - engaging narrative and varied boss fights especially - **Black Myth: Wukong also presents issues that can severely impact the gameplay experience and reliability of the game ** . Taking into account its controversies with the current modern gaming audience and expectations of soulslike games, whether Black Myth: Wukong lives up to its hype is questionable at b


Black Myth: Wukong is a grittier retelling of the Chinese epic from the 16th century, Journey To The West, and despite being a small team, Game Science is looking to deliver incredible polish and flair in the game's presentation. The game boasts gorgeous and densely detailed environments embellished with captivating classical Chinese architecture and sculptures/idols. Black Myth: Wukong also sports over 100 types of enemies , including bos


With each Animal Crossing: New Horizons copy sold at full price or close to it, since Switch first-party title price discounts are quite scarce, that didn't stop players from buying both a Switch and the game. A true phenomenon and the best-selling game of the 2020s so far, it will be hard for anything other than GTA 6 to surpass this remarkable success for the rest of the dec


Elden Ring will likely rack up significant numbers this year too, with both Elden Ring Nightreign and the Tarnished Edition launching in 2025. The latter will probably have an especially huge impact on the game's lifetime sales, as many Elden Ring owners may want to own their favorite game on the Switch 2 as w

Journey to the West is a pantheon of celestial beings, deities, and mythological creatures known as Yaoguai, and Black Myth: Wukong is perhaps even more so with its inclusion of Yaoguai not found in the novel. The Destined One encounters dozens of "lesser" Yaoguai in Black Myth: Wukong that we haven't see in Journey to the West , including the Croaky, the Crow Diviner, the Tenner, and the Pitstone, Poisestone, and Palestone. Some of Black Myth: Wukong 's bosses we also have not seen in Journey to the West , though almost every major boss


These fatal flaws consist of frequent stuttering, severe lag, desynced audio, and terrible frame rates. Aside from the frustrating amount of stuttering, the frequent cutting of audio also heavily impacts your experience, especially during boss fights if you're relying on audio c


In many ways, Black Myth Wukong DLC Myth: Wukong could be considered a sequel to Journey to the West , as it makes regular past-tense references to the original story throughout its own roughly 30-hour narrative. However, Journey to the West is more the bones of Black Myth: Wukong than the muscles, with the novel essentially only serving as the foundation for the moving story and enchanting world Game Science has crafted here. It certainly doesn't shy away from including some of the most notable characters from Journey to the West — though many of them have been reconceptualized for the game — and its heavy reliance on Eastern mythology helps to fill in any gaps left in the wake of its semi-adaptive for


Black Myth: Wukong isn't strictly a soulslike, although it does share many of the same gameplay mechanics, such as a stamina system and enemies respawning after resting at checkpoints. Instead, it's more of an action RPG, which will be slightly more forgiving for those less accustomed to soulslike gameplay. "Soulslite" may be a more accurate t


The game is being made in the powerhouse that is Unreal Engine 5 . Utilizing photogrammetry, real-world landmarks from China like Huashan Mountain will be integrated into the game. The visual fidelity looks top-notch, although there's some FPS instability that permeates the trailer. After substantial optimization, this game could deliver the definitive wuxia experience in video ga


Below are the best-selling games from the 2020s so far, with lifetime sales confirmed to exceed 20 million units. The focus is on paid games only, excluding massively popular free-to-play titles and their earnings via monetization. Additionally, we won't include popular titles (sports simulators like FIFA or EA Sports FC; Diablo 4 ) without actual sales numbers being repor


While it first appeared as though Game Science's Black Myth: Wukong would put players in direct control of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West , the action RPG is set some time after the events of the novel. Ultimately, this means that Black Myth: Wukong is separated enough from Journey to the West that it can attempt to establish its own identity as an original story, as opposed to being a direct adaption of the novel. As a result, rather than playing through Black Myth: Wukong as Sun Wukong himself, players experience a reimagining of the world brought to life by Journey to the West through the eyes of a humble monkey simply referred to as the "Destined One" — an almost identical physical copy of Sun Wuk
