Black Myth: Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong is a third-person action RPG from Chinese developer Game Science, drawing heavily on characters and themes from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Combat centers on a staff-based moveset with transformations and spells, in a style closer to action games than Soulslike, though boss encounters are demanding. It launched to significant attention as one of the first major Chinese-developed AAA action RPGs.
