Hei shen hua: Wu kong

Black Myth: Wukong was a letdown. It ran poorly with noticeable ghosting and low visual quality. Combat wasn't broken, but it felt boring-mostly light or heavy attacks with the occasional ability. The perfect dodge effect looked cool, but fights lacked variety and depth. The story didn't pull me in, and I found myself not caring about what was happening. Voice acting felt off. Despite the hype, it came off as unpolished and forgettable. I also found navigation frustrating at times-I often wasn't sure where to go or what to do next. Overall i didn't enjoy my time in that game and i wont be playing it again.

"Black Myth: Wukong" is a true gem in the world of gaming, not just a fantastic action game but also a beautiful story. The game transports us to an incredible world full of magic and mysticism, drawing heavily from Chinese mythology. The story it offers captivates from the very first moments, and the richness of detail and care in world-building make every location come alive.

The combat mechanics are one of the most significant strengths of this title. For those new to this type of game, "Black Myth: Wukong" offers a combat system that is not only accessible but also deeply satisfying. The boss fights are absolutely unique - each one presents a distinct challenge, full of dynamism and requiring strategy. Coupled with beautifully designed cinematography, these battles become true spectacles.

However, the game is not without its minor flaws. Some locations give the impression of being explorable, only to be blocked by invisible walls. This can be a bit frustrating, especially in a world that encourages discovery and exploration.

Despite this minor issue, the game deserves a 9.5 out of 10. The greatest strength of "Black Myth: Wukong" is its atmosphere. The locations are unique and beautifully designed, and details like buildings and statues related to Chinese mythology wonderfully capture the spirit of the culture. The sound design is equally impressive, and the meditation spots have become some of my favorite parts of the game. They allow players to focus on the surroundings and appreciate the work of the Chinese developers - and it's worth it.

In summary, "Black Myth: Wukong" It's a wonderful adventure that will stay with players for a long time.

First off it runs awful on ps5

Im getting under 15 fps in some of these boss fights That can be patched I guess tho.

The game itself is not good, not necessarily bad but definitely not good. The level design is really bad, levels are invisible hallways that pretty much boil down to a series of straight lines, in these levels are a very small number of boring enemies that die in a single hit and borderline can't even hurt you. Exploration is simply walking down paths in a straight line till you find some more crafting materials. Yay.

The controls on ps5 feel very unresponsive as well, specially the one to heal, if say 30% of the time when I press left bumper to heal nothing happens then I press it again and can heal. This is with full stamina and having flasks left so idk what's going on

But okay what bout the bosses

I've done 20 so far and not a single one was particularly memorable, they are extremely easy and mechanically simple and I feel incredibly let down so far.

Obviously I'm not done yet, I might drop it but I spent $70 so I'm probably gonna finish it. Who knows Mabey it gets much better later on but as it stands the fps is unexpectedly bad for a modern console and that alone makes it not worth playing let alone the many many other flaws.

Oh and the story / dialogue is so cringe.

Hands down one of the best games of the year! After the let downs of earlier this year, it was definitely a breath of fresh air. You may have heard this, but it's kind of a cross between God of War with souls-like elements. It takes a few min to figure stuff out, and when you have it down, they add a new thing in. So it's always growing in the options you can access. Death is very forgiving, and even aids you on your journey. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I think one of my favorite parts though is the journal or compendium. It shares myths regarding the yaoguai you come across, and that helps build the story.

As a man who used to play all sorts of video games for 10+ years, I am rating this as a 10 out of 10. To me this game is a symbolic art piece which marks the beginning of the 21st century China renaissance. It is not just a top game but soaked in so much profound sense of Chinese culture, history, religion and philosophy. All of these different aspects are so well balanced and built into the touching story and carved out a beautiful new world for the well known characters of the Journey to the West. The #1 superhero in China Sun Wukong is so well depicted in this reinvented version and I can only even argue that it has fleshed out in a way that is better than the original story. Many characters like Bajie, ZiZhuer, YangJian are all very well built and touching.

In terms of the gameplay, the fighting system is a true blessing to most people. The 72 shape changes are great fun. And the stick/staff-based weapon system sucked in so much China martial arts that it's almost a new form by itself. The many bosses are stunning and fun to challenge.

The last but not least is the beautiful graphics, the mountains, forests, deserts, palaces, temples, volcanoes, lakes, sea and countless sculptures and artifacts. All of these are beautiful replication of the ancient world and rich history of China.

I can stay in the beautiful world of WuKong for ever. Ever since I picked up this game, I have spent 200+ hrs playing it and now in the 6th round of the game. It's beyond my expectation and truly amazing game and artwork to recommend to everyone who wants an amazing experience!
