Finished Wuchang
I just want to start by saying: what an absolute masterpiece. I can’t believe I slept on this game for so long. It completely surpassed all my expectations and has easily become one of my favourite soulslikes alongside Lies of P.
I genuinely haven’t experienced level design this beautifully crafted since Bloodborne. The atmosphere, exploration and the story was just perfect. The boss fights were also absolutely amazing. Loved the character upgrade mechanic, never seen something like it. For most of the game, it was just me and my longsword.
I do have a couple of gripes, though. The performance on PS5 was rough at times, constant frame drops and noticeably poor resolution during boss fights really hurt the experience. My other issue was how often bosses would run away from you. Sometimes it genuinely felt like I was the boss because I spent half the fight chasing them around the arena.
Overall, though, I absolutely loved this game and I’ll definitely be going for the other endings now.
