Key information
The action-RPG Black Myth: Wukong launched in the year 2024 as an ambitious debut from Game Science, featuring an interpretation of Chinese mythology. Inspired by the novel Journey to the West, the game casts players as the Destined One to recover six relics of Sun Wukong.
Players guide the monkey warrior on a quest featuring mythical creatures and staff-based combat. While the narrative may confuse uninitiated players, the levels showcase beautiful set pieces and intense combat inspired by soulslike titles.
The reviewer notes that enemies feel relentless and failure is part of the practice. Although certain boss designs are considered poor, the reviewer concludes that the title features some of the best and most cinematic late-game boss fights in recent video games.
For players who have not yet tried the adventure with the Destined One, the publication reports that the game is currently available at a lower price than ever before.
