Best Games By Chinese Developers

All anyone has had to say about 2024 is that it won't live up to 2023 , and that is admittedly a very high bar to clear . But the games were almost too good last year, at least in terms of making the awards interesting. Tears of the Kingdom and Alan Wake 2 had a right to feel hard done by, while Final Fantasy 16 and Starfield didn't even make the final six. 2024 looks to be a lot more interesting in terms of even competition, and that could make it the most exciting Game of the Year showdown ever.

As opposed to other Chinese games, Genshin Impact needs no introduction, as it's one of the most critically acclaimed and popular titles of the last few years, and this is true both for the Asian and Western markets. Set in Teyvat and focusing on the story of an interstellar traveler who has just woken up 500 years after being separated from his twin sister, Genshin Impact will have players traverse the 7 nations in the area looking for answ


With this document, the studio has sabotaged its own strategy. Staying silent provided plausible deniability – it doesn’t have to deny misogyny or sexism if it’s not making statements at all. But the phrase "feminist propaganda" makes that plausible deniability moot by declaring exactly what Game Science – or, at least, Hero Games – thinks about the criticism leveled against it, though it’s hard to imagine Hero Games came up with these guidelines on its own. Even with so much positive hype coming out about the game, Game Science has still managed to give players pa


Going by their imperious command to the player and the eerie-looking temple they inhabit, odds are good this mysterious antagonist/boss is the "Yellow Brows Great King" mentioned above, a spirit-turned-demon presiding over their own twisted version of the Buddhist faith. They may even be same narrator who recites the " Thou Shalt Kill " monologue earlier in the Black Myth: Wukong trailer, cementing themselves as an actual ideological enemy of Buddhism in-game, rather than just another of Wukong's demonic souls who wants to become immortal by devouring the flesh of a holy m


It's undeniable that Asian developers, with their countries' folklore and rich history, have created many of the most memorable games to date, widening the market for non-Western studios, and showing the gaming community what they're capable of. To showcase this, here are the best games made by Chinese develope

We have had this certainty before, very often. We knew it would be Elden Ring in 2022. We knew it would be The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, despite the stacked field. 2021 was a little more open, but the pandemic-hit year was without any stone cold classics, especially compared to the nominees in 2023 or 2020. 2018 was the last big shoot out, when Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War were both in with an even chance, but that's the exception that proves the rule. I've missed 2019 out there. Let's talk about 2019. Then, I promise, onto 2024.


When it was first released in China in 2015, there was a certain degree of uncertainty around how big Honor of Kings would be, or even if it would make any profits in an uncertain market. Luckily, the developers quickly saw their hard work pay off, and it's now one of the biggest and most relevant MOBAs in the country. However, the developers didn't stop there, as a new version, called, "Arena of Valor" was later released with greatly modified user interface designs to accommodate the Western market, garnering a much wider international fanb


Despite being a relatively new sub-genre when compared to its more established counterparts, the Soulslike genre is fast becoming one of the most heavily populated sections of the video game industry. The success and popularity of the stunning Dark Souls trilogy has seen a slew of Soulslikes begin to use developer FromSoftware's formula to attempt to replicate the success for themselves. The results have been widely varied, with titles such as Nioh being met with critical acclaim, whereas plenty of others have missed the mark. 2023 is set to see some more exciting entries into the ge


This strange spirit seems to be an acerbic ally to the player character, but their thoughts about Buddhist and Daoist practices echo the cynicism of Black Myth: Wukong's antagonists . Specifically, the spirit seems to believe that the ideals of Buddhism and Daoism are too difficult to achieve - or, at the very least, too impractical for the majority of people in the world to perfectly uphold (though their willingness to conduct divinations using "Bagua" symbolism implies they are affiliated with Daoist spirituality in some w


While some people might complain regarding the level design in the early stages of the game and the lack of variety in combat, the consensus is that Black Myth Wukong skills Myth: Wukong is very enjoyable to play, even with many of its flaws and technical problems, most of which might be solved with patc


Despite pretty much everyone assuming the document was made by some bored gamer trying to stir up more discourse for fun, multiple outlets and creators have now confirmed that the guidelines are real and sent by the studio’s marketing partner, Hero Games. A report also says that the document was not part of a sponsored content agreement, where creators are paid to give a game positive coverage and these guidelines, while still bizarre, would be more par for the course. Game Science tried to influence general coverage of the game by extending its own policy of silence to content creators, which backfired very quic
