“Despite its new setting, Myths of the Eastern Realm fails to distinguish itself from Fenyx’s own odyssey. Attractive as the Chinese-themed reskin may be, the combat, exploration, and puzzle solving underneath is close to identical to what we’ve already played, and the characters aren’t nearly as much fun. After spending eight or so hours completing the story I have little compulsion to come back and check off the remaining challenges, as unfortunately, it feels like I’ve played it all before.”
