Black Myth: Wukong Review

The popularity of gaming shows no signs of stopping, as evidenced by ever-growing Steam player numbers , the rise of digital game sales, and huge unexpected releases even from smaller studios. After their launch back in 2020, the current generation of consoles has finally reached substantial owner numbers to result in massive sales for long-anticipated games, not to mention the nearing launch of Nintendo Switch


It’s a shame too, because Black Myth: Wukong gives you tons of reasons to explore. It’s a game bursting with secrets to find and optional bosses to tackle, and even includes a secret location in each chapter that houses a unique boss or two for the more diligent explorers out there to sniff out. Exploration is both extremely rewarding, yet highly confusing, and the game doesn’t do enough to naturally stop you from walking in circ


This list, however, was so beyond the pale that nobody believed it could be real. Under the don’ts, there were two innocuous points: not to "insult other influencers or players" and not to "use any offensive language/humor". The next three immediately raised eyebrows. They asked creators to not "include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetishization, and other content that instigates negative discourse", "use trigger words such as ‘quarantine’ or ‘isolation’ or ‘COVID-19’", or "discuss content related to China’s game industry policies, opinions, ne


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

We are seeing more developers from the mobile space breaking out into the AAA market as of late. Just this year we had the Korean Shift Up bringing the spectacular Stellar Blade , a studio well known for the titillating Goddess of Victory: Nikke . Now we have Game Science, a Chinese developer best known for the Art of War: Red Tides from nearly a decade ago, taking a swing at a single-player, story-based release. And what a way to introduce themselves to the market, as Black Myth: Wukong has all the potential to be one of the best games of the year. They take elements from titles such as Dark Souls and Sekiro to create a rich and unique world that’s filled to the brim with adventure and mystery. Utilizing Unreal Engine 5, Game Science has crafted a visually-spectacular experience, but is the gameplay deep enough to keep the player’s attention?


Apart from that, there’s a lot of fun to be had with Black Myth: Wukong, and it’s a must-play for anyone that enjoys a good soulslike. It’s also perfect for anyone with soulslike fatigue and weary of the brutal difficulty that usually comes with them . It’s beautiful, frantic, challenging, and a delight to p


With each Animal Crossing: New Horizons copy sold at full price or close to it, since Switch first-party title price discounts are quite scarce, that didn't stop players from buying both a Switch and the game. A true phenomenon and the best-selling game of the 2020s so far, it will be hard for anything other than GTA 6 to surpass this remarkable success for the rest of the dec


You’ll be glad to have those breaks too, since Black Myth: Wukong is relentless. Without a block or a parry mechanic, fights are fast-paced brawls that require you to perform precise dodges to avoid taking damage. You have a range of fighting stances which let you perform different dodging styles, such as one that lets you sit on top of your extended staff to avoid ground attacks. You’re never required to switch stances to take down enemies, but some fights are definitely easier depending on which stance you t


The game has yet to be released on Xbox Series X/S due to an optimization delay, but with this platform set aside, Black Myth: Wukong has already sold over 25 million units across PC and PS5, easily ranking among the biggest game releases of the 2020s so far. It's a testament to the massive Asian gaming market (about 70% of the game's audience is from China) and the popularity of the titular charac
