    It all means that The Crown of Wu feels like a game that could have done with a little bit more love, a bit more polishing – only then may it have had enough to overcome any drawbacks. As it is, The Crown of Wu isn’t good enough to hold a candle to either Monkey or that Xbox 360 classic, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

    In the end, The Crown of Wu is, sadly, just a bit dull. It’s an adequate game, but it doesn’t offer anything particularly new or different. It’s a game that may be worth getting if you’re really into 3D soulslike games and you’ve been having some trouble finding new ones worth playing. Otherwise, this is not a game that can be particularly recommended.

    With thoroughly inconsistent combat and painful platforming, The Crown of Wu has earned itself the unfortunate and distinctive demerit of being the worst video game based on the Journey to the West.

    The Crown of Wu es un juego de aventuras y acción con una idea potente, y tendría que decir que hasta ambiciosa, pero que cuenta con una mala ejecución. Sus secciones plataformeras y de combates soulslike no son satisfactorias de jugar, siendo las partes puzleras las mejor resueltas. Por todo ello, el resultado es un título muy mejorable en cuestiones de diseño, y que además requería una mayor dedicación a la hora de pulir sus imperfecciones técnicas (que no son pocas).

    The Crown of Wu tiene un estupendo sentido de la aventura que no acaba de brillar por una jugabilidad a la que le falta finura.

    Una nueva muestra de juego en el que se ve que hay ganas, pero falta muuuucho por pulir y por rediseñar. La competencia es demasiado feroz en el género como para que destaque.
