The popularity of gaming shows no signs of stopping, as evidenced by ever-growing Steam player numbers , the rise of digital game sales, and huge unexpected releases even from smaller studios. After their launch back in 2020, the current generation of consoles has finally reached substantial owner numbers to result in massive sales for long-anticipated games, not to mention the nearing launch of Nintendo Switch
With the release of GTA 6 on the horizon, there's no doubt that Rockstar's upcoming title will once again shatter numerous sales records , securing its place as one of the best-selling titles of the decade. Until then, though, we have already seen several heavy-hitters during the 2020s that have reached millions of lifetime sales mere months after launch. Notably, a number of the best-selling games of this decade are new IPs rather than sequels to established games — even if some are based on existing entertainment franchi
Black Myth: Wukong was originally unveiled in 2020. A retelling of the famous Chinese 16th Century novel Journey to the West , the game is from a relatively unknown indie studio called Game Science. The early trailer footage immediately made an impression, with the protagonist, a monkey based on the legendary mythical figure Sun Wukong, shown to be engaging in a series of fast, ferocious battles against all manner of creatures and enem
When everything clicks, Black Myth Wukong Story Guide Myth: Wukong combat almost feels like a dance. Players will dodge out of the way of attacks at the last second, unleash a devastating heavy attack to interrupt their opponent's next strike, immobilize them, and then maybe unleash a spirit to finally take them out. It can be a lot of fun, but players should brace themselves for serious frustration as well. There is a certain button-mashy nature to the combat that is made apparent in the tankier boss fights, which makes dying and starting from scratch even more tedious than in similar games. While similar games provide a euphoric sense of accomplishment when defeating their toughest boss fights, I didn't get that feeling much from Black Myth: Wuko
Animal Crossing: New Horizons was just the right kind of game that many people were looking for in 2020 — a cozy play space to enjoy and connect with others. It's unknown exactly how much the game drove Nintendo Switch console sales at the time, but its impact was surely notable, given that the game has sold a whopping 47.8 million copies to d
To kick things off, there's Naraka: Bladepoint , one of the greatest Battle Royales made by a Chinese developer. Initially released in 2021, the game immediately became a favorite of many players, conquering not only its large Asian market but also a considerable chunk of the Western one. At first, the concept sounds like it wouldn't work as well as it does. After all, most Battle Royales are based on firearms and long-distance combat, not melee weap
With a big emphasis placed on co-op gameplay via Elden Ring -style summoning mechanics, the game will see the player come face-to-face with the likes of the mighty general Lu Bu in a series of progressively harder encounters designed for players to master through repetition. The player will have a wide range of offensive moves available to use, as well as several special abilities, and a high degree of precision and timing will be needed to emerge victorious. Those looking for their next big challenge will likely find it in this title, which is set for release on March 3, 2 To do this, the Scar 17's powerful CPU and GPU combination is aided by 2TB of SSD storage in a RAID configuration, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and liquid metal under the hood to keep thermals in check, making it one of, if not the fastest gaming laptops money can buy. It does, as a result, command a premium versus other RTX 4090-based gaming laptops, but as one of the only players that has AMD's extended L3 cache (also known as 3D V-Cache) on offer for games, it comes to the table with a sizable advantage versus its peers.
Black Myth: Wukong 's lack of objective markers and a map will also annoy some players, but again, these are things that are expected by Soulslike veterans. Black Myth: Wukong would have greatly benefited from a map, though, so it's a shame that it doesn't seem to have one. Objective markers would have been helpful in a couple of specific situations in the game that I can't get into, but I will say that it's highly likely that a lot of players are going to find themselves completely stumped with no idea how to progress the story once they reach a certain point in the g
The indie games market has flourished in recent years as many gamers look beyond the standard AAA offerings. Typically the more under-reported and under-represented aspect of the industry compared to the larger and flashier triple-A titles, indie games have really come to the fore in the last few years. From dominating platforms like Steam and establishing their very own dedicated showcases to going head to head with bigger budget titles in award shows, indie games are experiencing a bit of a renaissance at the mom
