The value story

It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Niffelheim ($19.99, scores 26) outscores it, and so does Immortals Fenyx Rising ($39.99, scores 29). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Quite an enjoyable game!! Scenery is beautiful. I downloaded the deluxe version as I wanted to see the monkey king in a suit..lol. Thank god the game is in ENGLISH! Cant wait to invest more time in this game. I am amazed looking at so many chinese negative reviews. Only con i am willing to overlook is that game is capped at 30 FPS.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME -There is only a total of 10 type of enemy(boss included) , only with slight variation in colour and health bar. And if you count all the NPCs, you might get to 20. -Tons of loading screens and black screens that bring you right back to Elder Scroll. Damn monkey needs 2 black screen to climb a ladder and 3 to get down . I mean man are we really in 2019? not even a actual climbing...
