The rise of the Chinese action RPG

Black Myth: Wukong is "a stunning action game clearly inspired by the Dark Souls series," we said in our 87% review. It's also a new link in a very long, rich, and constantly evolving chain of mostly untranslated Chinese-language RPGs that have too often passed English speaking gamers by. The current star of this often overlooked segment of gaming may be a graphics card-stressing adventure that focuses almost entirely on the action, but Chinese RPGs have been steadily working towards this sort of breakout success for decades.
