Personally i prefer the wolong, nioh style of level and maps selection for combat action games. Especially if they let you refight and farm bosses. Its just so nice to spank Lu Bu as a more powered up character after he made me grief for 2~3 hours the first time around.
Black Myth Wukong being released early in some places. Personally I like games where I can explore. People earlier said this game didn't let you do that. It was all following the path designed by the game. Apparently not true. I remember playing one of the Castle Wolfenstein games and I happened to be on a balcony looking down into a room where the Nazis had to run across that were coming to get me upstairs. For some reason at this one spot I was at and no where else on the balcony I was able to use an unlimited amount of dynamite sticks to throw down into this room and kill all the Nazis coming to get me. Was that a glitch or was that an easter egg by design? I would've never have found this without exploring. My ammunition would've been depleted if that wasn't there.
One thing they haven't really been able to do that I know of is being able to destroy the environment around you and having the debris left being a part of the game play. That's why also why I stopped playing these games. The only thing that improved was graphics and not game play.
