Every October 2019 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

36. Monkey King: Hero Is Back

Release Date: Oct 17th

Platforms: PC, PS4

Ancient Chinese mythology is rife for video games inspiration, especially at present, since its highly underutilised. This title takes the championed Monkey King legend and gives it a Kung-Fu Panda style make-over.

The premise on paper has promise, but the trailers and previews show that the title is lacking in the most important aspect...the action. Most of it looks repetitive and stiff, making it a game to approach with caution.
