    There are just enough flourishes, mechanical and artistic, to turn your head, but whether Wuchang: Fallen Feathers will keep your gaze is another matter.

    Wuchang has some neat ideas, but the inconsistent difficulty and confusing story really made it hard to enjoy a lot of times. Still, I love the world, and combat feels great and responsive. This is a solid effort from a first-time studio, and I think people who really enjoy the genre have yet another one they can get into. The campaign is long, clocking in at just under 50 hours with plenty more once credits roll. Fans will love it, but for those like me, this one doesn’t do enough to overcome my issues with the genre.

    Wuchang wears its soulslike inspirations well and truly on its sleeve, but the absolutely stunning, if dark, romanticised Chinese setting gives it a unique and beautiful canvas that we're not often exposed to in AAA games in the west. For all of Wuchang's beauty, it hides deadly, and utterly brutal difficulty which can spike to intense heights at unforeseen moments — forcing you to reconsider everything about your playstyle and build. I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm confident enough to give you a review-in-progress about what you should expect from Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. In short, steel yourself. [Review in Progress]

    We thought we would only spend a few summer afternoons with Wuchang, especially since it is available on Game Pass. It should have been nothing more than an already forgotten holiday fling by the time school started again, which may be true in part because of its story (which is not unpleasant, though), but it is hard to be picky given the game's systems, which give players a lot of freedom. Very generous in terms of content, ticking many of the boxes of the Souls-like genre while inventing its own formula, the title shows that Leenzee Games has understood the essence of the genre and has managed to add its own touch. In a nutshell, yes, Wuchang may stay longer in our hearts than we initially thought so.
