It probably also doesn't hurt this game that the Chinese developers' normal work hours is equivalent to what crunch hours are in the West.Playing on PS5 with balanced mode. Took some snaps:
I think this is a turning point for high production single player games, honestly.has arrived. That intro alone with the volumetric effects. Mamma Mia.
Playing in Chinese and hate that I can’t make the subtitles bigger. It’s just too small.
Oh, and the soundtrack has been absolutely lush so far.

I fought two story bosses so far. It’s growing on me the more I play. If something wipes the floor with me, I’m back in the saddle, so it’s got that going for it. Graphics are fantastic. I’m really liking the enemy design.
I did get some stutter on PS5 during the first major boss. I don’t know what that was about.
I am now tempted to change the language to Chinese.

This looks comically bad on a properly sized monitor, rough AF. Almost Switch port levels of downgrade.

But it's not the same thing though to say the least. The modern trilogy is exellent, I liked the latest movie as well and Tim Burton version from 2001 (such a shame there was no sequel, which had a lot of potential). I think I also have every old movie on the VHS starting from Planet (68) and ending with Battle (73)
Yeah, I can't even get past the first 25 min of the first movie
Well, it's not that translation is bad in my case, it's just I didn't expect it to be so.... cringe and comedy focused, you know? I mean, I've watched all of the Jackie Chan (one of my favorite actors) movies and I love most of them which are not made in collaboration with the US based studios, but... idk, it's just not my thing what they did in A Chinese Odyssey and I guess I expected something more serious. I haven't read the original novel btw so I can't compare.

There seems to be a lot of aliasing + image sharpening going on there.
Can you please take some from the Performance mode as well?

I cant believe this game actually came out. I thought it was GUARANTEED to be vaporware when I first saw the trailer.

I have a question; did I just get lucky and have a replacement for my healing item already or is the Trailblazer's Scarlet Gourd a consumable that doesn't replenish at the "bonfire"?
Sorry for double posting.
Edit: So it looks like you replace your gourd pretty quickly if this isn't a random drop. Nice.

On balanced it feels like those VRR unlocked 40 fps modes from Spider-Man 2/Last of US Part 1. Haven’t tried performance mode yet.
I did try quality and the image looks so much cleaner that I might stick to it but don’t tell anyone before the frame rate policy comes for me.

Played for about an hour. Game is pretty fun so far. Nothing really makes it special or even stand out yet, but I'll stick with it.
Wonder if the concurrent player count will turn out to be Chinese pride/support, especially considering how quickly it's doing numbers, rather than the game being genuinely that good.
Image quality seems kind of scuffed to me. It's over-sharpened and there's a lot of distracting dithering.
Running at 3840x1600 ultrawide, max settings, DLSS set to 89 (one click below DLAA) with Frame Generation enabled. Just looks rough around the edges, both figuratively and literally.
The game is running DLSS 3.7.30 which, I believe, makes it the first. Interested to see if anything improves with the new Nvidia driver tomorrow.

It's Stephen Chow movie lol. All of his movie are comedy. Not action focus like Jakie Chan so yeah it's kind of hard to get in if you're not familar with his movie.
I don't think there're any good movie about Wukong or Journey to the West. If you want to watch "Journey to the West", you should watch TV series instead of movie since the novel story is too fucking long.
The classic series is from 1986 when the CGI is shit. But it's the most popular version from all over Asia. I don't know about other version since I only watch 1986 version when I was a kid but you can try newer version if you think the classic one is too ugly.

Free homeward bone is really nice. I also love the animations. Dodging 3 times in succession provides a unique animation on each dodge. Also, the heavy attack is weird since there is a delay before he performs it. He twirls the stick and then a second later the animation carries out. I like that you can heal on the run.

I hope the localization is good enough for people to engage with the story cause it is fucking awesome in Chinese. Those skits are on fire.

Same question for me.
I’m getting destroyed by that big stone head guy that pulls stones from the ground. Tips, anyone?

the giant stone monk guy?
okay so I bashed my head against the wall until I beat him, but I think the intended route is to go the other way where you'll find a much easier fire-based boss. Once you kill him, you get a new spell that should help immensely against the stone monk

I’m waiting until I get the rest of my powers then going back to him
I think the cicada thing was just an intro to showing you that you can turn into shit. There is an optional boss in that forest that gives you your first actual transformation.
Cicada will prob come back again later and be permanent is my guess

So what is the resolution like in performance mode, please tell me it still looks sharp and higher than upscaled 1080p

How are the difficulty settings in the game?
Is it really a souls like or is it more accessible?

No HDR support, SDR looks crap like Starfield did at launch. Welp. Hope they patch this soon

This is a Chinese Sekiro with over the top cinematic moments. I didn't see any difficulty settings.

Is it good ?
The first revealed gameplay did nothing to me and somehow the artstyle/graphics doesn't click with me.
I checked really quickly some gameplay but looks a bit "bland" ("Generic" is probably a better word).
Also so heard that quite some bugs were there post chapter 1 but the dev forbidde to show images from Chapter 2 onward before release (NDA for review). Which is a dick move in my opinion and make me reluctant to check it.
Restricting the reviewer to show only very early game section is a suspicious move for me.
