Black Myth: Wukong Review - On Like Wukong

The final trailer for Black Myth Wukong tips Myth: Wukong is extensive, to put it lightly. Running for close to five minutes, the trailer does everything in its power to pack as much into it as possible, with scene changes that are almost as rapid as the game's combat seems to be. Nevertheless, it does an excellent job of showing fans what Black Myth: Wukong is made


Wandering Wight is no exception, one of the first proper bosses you'll encounter in the game's first chapter . You might assume that would make him a bit of a pushover, but it unfortunately has a ton of health, hits like a truck, and is a real test of skill despite you having had less than an hour of playtime under your belt. Thankfully, we're here to give you a h


Apart from that, taking down Wandering Wight is just a matter of recognizing which attacks are coming and getting out of the way of them. Of course, that's easier said than done, but its strongest moves are telegraphed very clear


Eventually, the trailer ties a bow on it all with over a dozen brief glimpses at many of Black Myth: Wukong 's terrifying bosses , including a dragon, a massive troll, a rock monster, and a dual sword-wielding character that looks like a tough time. Other scenes near the end of the final trailer, like one of the Destined One placing a mask on a statue to open a large door, have very little context, so it's impossible to know what all of it means. One particular scene of a blood moon could be the cinematic introduction to a boss fight, as blood moons are considered a sign of impending doom in Chinese cult


It doesn’t help much that these open areas are absolutely massive. That might sound great from an exploration standpoint, as you naturally stumble across secrets and helpful items, but without any kind of guidance, it can be difficult to keep track of where you’ve been or where you need to go. It’s a game that desperately needs a map, and while the decision not to include one feels deliberate, I can’t help but feel it would have stopped a lot of needless backtrack


Now that you're fully equipped, and your health is looking peachy, you can start attempting to take down Wandering Wight. You'll find it lumbering around a small clearing in the forest, but don't let its size fool you. This thing is quick on its feet when it wants to be, and will often chain together several moves in a row to keep you guess

**The story of Black Myth: Wukong sees players set out as the Destined One ** , who must face a series of challenges in order to learn more about the world and his place within it. The Destined One is Sun Wukong, a Monkey King who desires more than anything to become a god. Players will encounter a host of dangerous adversaries who will stop at nothing to prevent Wukong from accomplishing his go


Black Myth: Wukong is considered a soulslike, which means it comes with some pretty tough boss fights. There are dozens of fights to get through, each one varying in difficulty, but most of them share the common trait of being able to end your life in a handful of seconds if you underestimate t


However, Black Myth: Wukong , unlike the sprawling Elden Ring , is not an open-world game. Instead, players will explore gorgeous linear, interconnected environments akin to the original Dark Souls games. These take place across varied and dynamic landscapes inspired by both Chinese mythology and the Journey to the West st


With the release of GTA 6 on the horizon, there's no doubt that Rockstar's upcoming title will once again shatter numerous sales records , securing its place as one of the best-selling titles of the decade. Until then, though, we have already seen several heavy-hitters during the 2020s that have reached millions of lifetime sales mere months after launch. Notably, a number of the best-selling games of this decade are new IPs rather than sequels to established games — even if some are based on existing entertainment franchi
