Black Myth: Wukong Review Round-Up

Other reviews for Black Myth are largely positive as well. Hardcore Gamer's Adam Beck scored the game a 4.5/5 , praising its presentation values, world and quest design, and bosses, while being slightly less positive about the localization issues and somewhat repetitive combat by the end of the g


From Team Ninja, developer of the acclaimed Nioh games, comes Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty , which looks to be a spiritual successor to Nioh . Featuring the cast of characters from China's Three Kingdoms era, who fans of the Dynasty Warriors series will know well, the game is a mixture of tough, unforgiving combat, with elements of the supernatural and otherworldly beings. A demo was released in September, and as fans would expect from a Team Ninja title, it proved to be extremely challenging even in its beta ph


One of the biggest questions fans have had about Black Myth: Wukong is whether it will simply be a boss rush game from start to finish or if players will experience the same level of freedom and side content generally found in a standard modern action RPG. Thankfully, Game Science has confirmed that the world would eventually open up for players to meet new NPCs, acquire side quests, and uncover plenty of secrets. Regardless, it's still refreshing to see the final trailer for Black Myth: Wukong open with an environmental showcase, as if to reassure the game's followers that its world is much bigger than a mere boss r

It’s clear that Game Science is very aware of the discourse around its game; it’s just actively choosing not to say anything. That isn’t really a problem in itself – while it’s a clear effort to wait the allegations out and hope they’re simply forgotten, I can understand a smaller studio choosing to just shut up and let the game speak for itself instead of creating a politicised firestorm around a decidedly unpolitical game with a statement. It’s not great optics-wise, but there’s logic behind
It's also all about bringing the right loadout to a fight. Most of the time, you'll gravitate towards specific skills in the open world, but there are bosses that will benefit from understanding their strengths and weaknesses. For example, one of the most powerful skills you have is the ability to freeze enemies in place for a couple of seconds, allowing you to unleash a flurry of strikes uninterrupted. Later on in the campaign, there will be bosses, main or side quests, that will not be affected by this, in fact benefiting from you using it on them. There’s even a skill that allows you to create clones of yourself for a period of time, but there’s a boss that will turn them against you. It’s these little insights into each encounter that create a unique experience.

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?


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
