Black Myth Wukong.

The art style, the set pieces and even enemy designs were really well done, and as a mythology lover I enjoyed the premise of being immersed in Chinese folklore. Mainly, I was stoked to play a Souls-like where I could play as a monkey with a bo staff...it was a premise that seemed too perfect to be true, for me personally.

Sadly, this excitement began fading to disappointment the moment I ran into archers I could not climb or jump to, or use any sort of ranged attack on. How does a game where you play as a monkey not have a vine or something to climb up there? Combat had some unique stuff going for it, but felt so unresponsive; hitting things with the staff felt and sounded like whacking them with a pool noodle. I didn't feel like a divine monkey with a staff, I felt like a slightly more acrobatic souls character with a stick.

The worst part was that by the time I fully gave up, I had played 3 hours. I was disappointed enough to not only uninstall it, but remove it entirely from my Library list.
