It looks and sounds great, and the setting is compelling too. Wo Long’s expectations of you are clear - as long as you learn its rules and play by them, you can thrive. I never felt like it was drawing outside the lines. While the combat is challenging, it’s fair. Still, there’s a lot I admire and like about this game. As such, I’m not sure I’ll stick with it. That’s the case for me with Wo Long thus far. In other words, I can get through difficult games, but I might not find them edifying.
