Wukong is definitely one of my favorite games this year. I haven't played Souls-like games before, I mostly played action roguelikes like Dead Cells, Temtem:swarm and Darkchaser. So, Wukong is a bit challenging but very fun for me. I still remember the excitement after defeating The Great Sage's Broken Shell.
Darkchaser actually has a lot of effects; after around 30-40 levels of endless mode, there are more items and effects, but it looks relatively clean. The effects in Vampire Hunters are brighter, and since it's an FPS game, having too many effects does make it look pretty uncomfortable. Vampire Survivors is influenced by pixel effects. But in totally, they are great game and fun to play
Play Death Stranding needs to be patient
The Steam achievement in Darkchaser is quite interesting—one of them requires you to travel the distance equivalent to circling the Earth once, and another requires the distance from the Earth to the Moon. However, I still want to complain: is anyone actually able to complete this? I know it's a game that requires you to run around all the time, and I've already played for 100 hours, but it's still far from enough :D
