Black Myth: Wukong

To heck with retropixel games for once.

Very pretty, reminded me of Shadow Warrior (the modern ones).

Yeah, this gameplay is simply spectacular, much better than so many other praised AAA.

Hear, hear. I have been saying this a lot too.

I come to GOG for what I call "big releases". I'm pretty flexible in that definition since for me it includes "AAA" style games, "AA" games (even ones with a lot of jankiness), old-school titles (at least those which felt "complete" and longlasting), and some indie games which provide bigger experiences in more immersive worlds.

It's just that most of the pixel indie games and arthouse style indie games don't really meet my definition since they are so much more bite-sized and/or lacking long-term replay value (and I say that as someone who is perfectly happy replaying a single player game over and over).

I am not a blind "pixel hater," for instance I think Dead Cells and Legends of Amberland are both awesome. Overall, though, I still maintain that indie gaming should have mostly moved past the 8-bit pixel style at least half a decade ago. Let's see some more PS1 style graphics at least.

Chinese games are putting a lot of work into visuals precisely because they know people will watch videos like this and be hyped for them. There's nothing wrong with pixel graphics, and sometimes I'd say I prefer them. These visuals look somewhat sterile. Also, there's a difference between art quality and art direction...

I dunno, I know you want to feel like those 1500 dollars you spent on a "gaming pc" were justified but stop buying in to early hype like this.

This reminded me of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's got that AA vibe.

how do you know they are indie?

what is indie?

(aye, i did go there)

Unfortunately, if you want it on GOG, you don't get it on GOG :-/

How come?
