Critic Reviews Summary

• Combat: The core strength of the game, described as satisfying, fast-paced, and challenging, with an excellent blend of staff techniques, magic, and enemy transformations. Success often depends on learning attack patterns and precise dodging.
• Visuals & World: The game is widely considered one of the most gorgeous titles on the PS5, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 to create a world "brimming with detail" and variety, from lush forests to intricate temples.
• Story: The narrative is deeply rooted in the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, which means players unfamiliar with the source material might find the story hard to follow without reading journal entries or looking up lore online.
• Level Design: Reviewers noted that while the environments are beautiful, the level design can be linear and sometimes confusing due to a lack of an in-game map and arbitrary invisible walls, which can hinder exploration.
• Technical Performance: The PS5 version runs well overall with multiple graphics modes (Quality, Balance, and Performance), but some reviewers experienced occasional frame drops, minor stuttering in cutscenes, and rare crashes.
