What To Expect From Indie Games In 2022

One unique feature that Black Myth Wukong strategy Myth: Wukong introduces, is that there is no blocking or parry system (aside from a spell with a cooldown), making you rely solely on dodging. While this is an integral skill in many soulslike games, not having any other means for defense forces players to learn how and when to effectively deal damage while keeping themselves safe. This vulnerability adds a challenging layer to boss fights, penalizing players who haven't mastered this sk


The common thread between the villainous narrators in the latest trailer for Black Myth: Wukong seems to be __ a hostile cynicism towards Buddhist teachings - a skepticism towards whether achieving enlightenment is even possible, and a belief that those who claim to pursue such as goal are hypocrites trying to conceal their vices from the world. Indeed, the two un-translated narrators in the Black Myth: Wukong trailer articulate this cynicism further, asking the game's protagonist (and player) if they're truly able to overcome destiny and break free from the snares of des


2021 was a strong year for indie games, with incredible releases like Death's Door , Kena: Bridge of Spirits , and Loop Hero scooping up awards nominations and wins , and impressing gamers and critics alike. With such a formidable year of great games just gone, it seems like it would be hard for 2022 to compare. But from every indie game that has been announced for 2022 so far, it looks like the year is shaping up to be a worthy competitor to its predecessor. The future is bright for indie games, with larger developers championing smaller studios and gamers choosing more niche genres and experimental games almost as much as the more recognizable


As far as Chapters 1 and 2, while characters are clearly fictitious and fantastical creatures, there were no female or feminine NPCs, enemies, or bosses present. The only exception, if you can call it 'female', is a boss named Mother of Stones in Chapter 2, which is nothing more than a still, glowing rock with no abilities, being guarded by other enem

This also pushes its developer, Game Science into the limelight as the title features possibly some of the most ambitious use of Epic's Unreal Engine 5 to date as it aims to break into the highly competitive AAA games market.


With events like the Independent Games Festival in March, Day of the Devs at Summer Game Fest , and August's Gamescon adding an Indie Area Booth, there will be lots of chances for developers to show off both the array of talent and new indie games. Newer and smaller events like LudoNarraCon aim to celebrate interesting and innovative narrative games, highlighting indie efforts and focusing on fresh ideas. September's BitSummit is the number 1 indie game show in Japan and is supported by game developers and publishers from around the region, demonstrating how indie games have a wide and diverse audie


In the original Journey To The West 16th century Chinese novel, all the spectacular martial arts battles, scenes of sorcerous trickery, and missions to rescue Sanzang from certain doom (Sanzang gets kidnapped by demons quite a lot) are designed to be entertaining allegories for the principles of Buddhist faith - and its purported superiority to the competing philosophies of Daoism and Confucianism. Sun Wukong, an embodiment of the turbulent desires and whims of the human heart, is not disciplined by the teachings of Daoist immortals, nor is he restrained by the armies and bribes of the Celestial Bureaucracy. Only through his long journey with the Buddhist Sanzang does he liberate himself from desire and learn to be a noble, compassionate being - although the villains in the latest Black Myth: Wukong gameplay trailer may beg to dif


**Black Myth: Wukong is on par with larger soulslike games like Elden Ring in how boss-heavy it is ** , but then its run time is probably half the amount, if not less. This is because bosses are incredibly frequent and are not spaced apart very well, and therefore don't have much build-up or anticipation. Some soulslike fans may prefer not to have so much filler between boss fights, while others like to thoroughly explore and work their way up to a boss fi


**One of the best features of Black Myth: Wukong is its combat ** , showcasing an extensive variety of abilities that players can select from and hone. In the main menu, you can put your levels, known as 'Sparks', into several categories. This consists of everything from Foundation skills, like Stamina, Martial Arts, and Survival, to Staff Stances, Mysticism, Spells, and m


One of the biggest questions fans have had about Black Myth: Wukong is whether it will simply be a boss rush game from start to finish or if players will experience the same level of freedom and side content generally found in a standard modern action RPG. Thankfully, Game Science has confirmed that the world would eventually open up for players to meet new NPCs, acquire side quests, and uncover plenty of secrets. Regardless, it's still refreshing to see the final trailer for Black Myth: Wukong open with an environmental showcase, as if to reassure the game's followers that its world is much bigger than a mere boss r
