Black Myth: Wukong Review: The Soulslike Action Hype Train Is A Little Off-Rails

2026-03-04T12:08:21Z

ArthurFairbank:

One unique feature that Black Myth: Wukong introduces, is that there is no blocking or parry system (aside from a spell with a cooldown), making you rely solely on dodging. While this is an integral skill in many soulslike games, not having any other means for defense forces players to learn how and when to effectively deal damage while keeping themselves safe. This vulnerability adds a challenging layer to boss fights, penalizing players who haven't mastered this sk Occasionally, another enemy may chime in, but it isn't necessarily more challenging to fight crowds when, in soulslike games, enemies are usually not so forgiving. However, enemies do progressively become tougher at a natural rate as you progress in the game, exploring new moves, but they are still repetit Nearly ten more of Black Myth: Wukong 's transformations are put on display for this segment of the trailer, each of which grants the Destined One unique skills, like the ability to become a spirit to avoid an attack or the ability to vanish into thin air. Several other transformations are difficult to interpret, simply due to how quickly the Destined One is moving on the screen. However, this is a testament to [https://Www.Blackmythwukongtalk.com/ Black Myth Wukong Secrets] Myth: Wukong 's energetic and fast-paced combat, as it's likely to keep even the most skilled players on their t Developed by Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio, Lies of P is eerily reminiscent of Bloodborne . It caught the eye immediately when it was unveiled back in Spring 2021, thanks to a grim, Lovecraftian setting mixed with some diverse enemies and flashy combat. The game follows Pinocchio as he looks to navigate the city of Krat, while using a unique 'lie' system that affects gameplay dynamically based on his interactions. While the story of Pinocchio is an extremely well-known one, Lies of P promises to feature a retelling the likes of which hasn't been seen before. Offering visceral, challenging combat against some of the most creative enemies seen in the genre, Lies of P is an extremely exciting proposition. While the game doesn't yet have a release date, it is expected to arrive sometime in 2 Alternatively, if you don't have the crafting materials, you can buy Antiasma Powder in the in-game shop using the Keeper's Shrine . You can even buy the Jade Lotus crafting material here if you can't find any elsewhere, which costs 90 W Moreover, bosses also don't seem to use their environment very much , except Lingxuzi and Whiteclad Noble bosses in Chapter 1 - but even so, to a limited degree. Boss areas serve as nothing more than an arena. It is extremely contrarian to how the arenas are designed, as they appear to have utility, but don't at Aside from a few exceptions, most boss patterns are quite forgiving, however, and many bosses have predictable and repetitive movesets that are quite easy to learn, which can lead to fairly swift defeats . As you progress, there are still many challenging and satisfying fights, and they become slightly less forgiving as you progress into Chapters 2 and beyond, but for soulslike bosses, they are probably the easiest to overc 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 Recently, the company reported that the game has surpassed the 30 million sales mark , likely boosted by the Phantom Liberty expansion and the massive 2.0 update. While it is still notably behind The Witcher 3's success ( which sold over 50 million units ), let's not forget that Cyberpunk 2077 is just the first game in its franchise, so the results are more than impressive and well-deserved. Not to mention that Cyberpunk 2077 has also been confirmed for launch on the Switch 2, suggesting another notable boost for the game's sales in the coming ye While no gameplay footage has yet been released, based on the trailer's grim premise, it seems to be taking heavy inspiration from Dark Souls ' aesthetically dark world. The game is set to release in 2023, and fans will be hoping to see some gameplay emerge soon. Of course, it's quite possible that one or more of the titles on this list will be delayed. This is becoming a regular occurrence recently, and fans have learned to somewhat temper their expectations. Should they all manage to meet the 2023 release schedule though, then it could indeed be one of the strongest ever years for Soulslike ga Considering it is the sequel to one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , not much is known yet about Jedi: Survivor , with EA remaining surprisingly tight-lipped up to this point. Promising to continue the story of the Jedi Cal Kestis, it should bring with it solid improvements to the already robust mechanics. Customizable lightsabers, a plethora of force powers to wield, and an intriguing story spanning several planets are the least fans should expect, based on the first game. While many wouldn't have necessarily thought Star Wars and Dark Souls would blend together well, it turns out that they do, and all eyes will be on Star Wars J edi: Survivor when it releases sometime in 2

At first glance, this can seem overwhelming, as players have so much to consider when designing their general combat style. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it allows you to truly customize and create a build that best fits your playst As of writing, there is only one known way to cure Poison in Black Myth: Wukong and that is by using an uncommon Alleviating Medicine named Antimiasma Powder . This consumable, upon use, instantly removed the Poisoned state and significantly increased Poison Resistance for a short durat Combat starts to get tedious around the same time that the level design becomes more engaging. The first couple chapters of Black Myth: Wukong are bland and lifeless. They are a collection of mini-boss fights separated by sparsely populated areas with invisible walls that keep players from venturing off or jumping on platforms that they should otherwise clearly be able to reach. The level design in these early stages does not leave a good first impression. Later chapters have significantly increased scope and are more interesting, with more to see and do between the boss fights, though they perhaps suffer from going on a little too l In the Shrine's menu, select _'Store >Buy' _ to see all available items that you can purchase, including Antiasma Powder, which costs 180 Will .

It offers plenty of surprises and challenging bosses to conq And yet, controversy has swirled around the rather inoffensive title since long before its launch. The resurgence of the Gamergate movement has partly been fuelled by bizarre conspiracy theories linking coverage of developer Game Science’s unsavoury history to a ‘DEI extortion ring’. The theory goes that a consultancy firm named Sweet Baby Inc. tried to blackmail Game Science for $7 million in ‘guidance fees’ , and when the developer refused to pay up, games media coordinated a campaign to attack the studio.

According to a statement to Windows Central , Microsoft is " working with Game Science to bring the game to [Xbox Series X/S]. " However, no further statement has been made, nor has either Microsoft or Game Science given a clear timeline of when fans can expect Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox. Black Myth: Wukong is also available for pre-order right now on both Steam and the PlayStation Store . Players eager to have it ready for launch can buy it and preload it at a later date. However, there is no need to pre-order for those who would rather wait for revi For a lot of players, outside of free-to-play gacha titles like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, [https://www.Blackmythwukongtalk.com/ Black Myth Wukong story guide] Myth is the first game to truly showcase the capabilities of the Chinese video game industry on the world stage. You’d be hard-pressed to argue that it hasn’t done a good The mentions of "feminist propaganda" and "politics" are damning enough on their own, but the restrictions on mentioning the pandemic or China’s game industry are completely bizarre. I fail to imagine why anybody would want to bring up COVID-19 in their coverage of a video game, nor why Game Science would see this as a real risk to the image of its game and preemptively try to mitigate t As reviews have come in, including our own , it’s become clear that critics have generally enjoyed it. It garnered an 82 percent rating on OpenCritic , receiving praise for its polish, visuals, and combat, and, more importantly for me as an Asian gamer, successfully translates the Chinese mythology of monkey god Sun Wukong into a compelling action If the story was anything to care about, this would be an even more annoying problem, but Black Myth 's story is largely inconsequential . It takes players from one level to the next, introducing them to various characters pulled from Journey to the West , and while there is an overarching story, each chapter also has its own individual tale to tell as well. The dialogue is clunky and the voice acting is unimpressive. But few people play these types of games for the story anyway. Again, Soulslike diehards coming into this likely won't be bothered by Black Myth 's lackluster story, but those expecting something like more traditional character action games are going to be disappoin **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 2019 falls between 2018 and 2021, and I don't just mean chronologically. Take a look at 2019's nominees, and what you'll see is a lot of very good games but no generation-defining title like The Last of Us Part 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, or Tears of the Kingdom. It was eventually won by Sekiro in a tight contest where at least five out of six ( Resident Evil 2 might have been an upset) had a shot at winning - we need years like that sometimes. Black Myth: Wukong takes place in mythological China, with it being loosely based on Journey to the West. This isn’t really about Wukong himself, or the trickster’s actions through the ancient writings, but instead you take up the mantle of his successor of sorts. You play as a young, voiceless monkey many years after the fall of the god. You basically go along a similar path, trekking through a long and treacherous journey to recover many of Wukong’s relics and restore realms to their former glory. Well, more or less. The world is in less of an appealing state, with leaders being driven mad and there’s a struggle for power. Aiding these areas isn’t your main objective, but it just happens to be the side effect of following in Wukong’s footsteps. Remnant 2 may not be the best showcase of Unreal Engine 5's capabilities, but it never aimed to be. Instead, the sequel builds on everything players loved about the original Remnant: From the Ashes , offering one of the most unique soulslike-shooter hybrids on the market today. Shooting feels very fun in Remnant 2 , especially given how drastically each exotic weapon differs from other g But assuming just enough goes right, 2024 could have the most interesting Game of the Year showdown ever. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was an also-ran in 2020 and 16 didn't even make it to the starting line, so while Rebirth stands as the early favourite, it's not cut and dried especially after the Western breakthrough Infinite Wealth has enjoyed. I have a feeling that when the lights dim for The Game Awards in 2025, I will already know who is walking away with the big prize. I hope that in 2024, I don't. Black Myth: Wukong also appears to be a deeply cinematic experience, with its gorgeous visuals and dynamic cutscenes helping to tell its vast and epic story. This is certainly going to be a more story-heavy experience than the typical soulslike, although prior to launch, developer Game Science has revealed few details about what players can actually expect from it. Regardless, players are anticipating a truly bombastic and explosive experience when playing **Black Myth: Wukong

You can even buy the Jade Lotus crafting material here if you can't find any elsewhere, which costs 90 W Thankfully, this won’t happen too often, as Black Myth: Wukong is definitely on the easier side of the soulslike spectrum, which suits its boss rush design. Running up against a brick wall of difficulty every five minutes would’ve been extremely frustrating, but Black Myth: Wukong manages to nail the balance to ensure the game’s pace doesn’t suf Journey to the West is a pantheon of celestial beings, deities, and mythological creatures known as Yaoguai, and Black Myth: Wukong is perhaps even more so with its inclusion of Yaoguai not found in the novel. The Destined One encounters dozens of "lesser" Yaoguai in Black Myth: Wukong that we haven't see in Journey to the West , including the Croaky, the Crow Diviner, the Tenner, and the Pitstone, Poisestone, and Palestone.

That we can forgive, [https://www.Blackmythwukongtalk.com/ www.blackmythwukongtalk.Com] but there are huge chunks of the game, at least pre-launch, where full journal entries and even button prompts in the world that weren’t translated. Obviously, since this is text, these can be patched in, but these are issues we noticed. And while flying through bosses with ease could have potentially made each encounter feel lackluster, Black Myth: Wukong makes up for it by having a ridiculous amount of variety in their designs. Despite having dozens upon dozens of boss fights to tackle, rarely will you come up against a repeat or reskin. The vast majority of the game’s boss fights are completely unique, and even when you do come up against a familiar foe, they’ll have a completely different moveset to keep you on your toes. Combined with the chapter ending music videos, it’s very difficult to play through the game without having something enticing on the hori This strange spirit seems to be an acerbic ally to the player character, but their thoughts about Buddhist and Daoist practices echo the cynicism of Black Myth: Wukong's antagonists . Specifically, the spirit seems to believe that the ideals of Buddhism and Daoism are too difficult to achieve - or, at the very least, too impractical for the majority of people in the world to perfectly uphold (though their willingness to conduct divinations using "Bagua" symbolism implies they are affiliated with Daoist spirituality in some w With highly anticipated sequels like Hollow Knight: Silksong (potentially) and Sons of the Forest , 2022 is showcasing the continuation of beloved indie titles that give players the chance to dive back into their favorite worlds and stories. On the other end of the spectrum, there are brand new titles like Trek to Yomi and Tunic , which may be reminiscent of games like Ghost of Tsushima or the Legend of Zelda series respectively, but still bring something fresh and innovative to those legac You’re also very quickly given a wide range of tools that you can use in collaboration with your standard attacks and spells to make fights easier, including a huge number of transformations. When you take down a tough enemy or a boss, you’re frequently given either a spirit you can briefly transform into, or a lengthier transformation that gives you a completely different moveset. There’s an impressive range of enemies you can transform into, from lowly grunts to massive abominations, and it’s always exciting to find one while exploring each location and try it out on the next poor, unfortunate enemy you come acr The story is one of the more compelling parts, meeting characters that you may be familiar with in the lore, but how it’s told isn’t always particularly well done. While we’ll get to the amazing aesthetics and presentation later, most of the chapters generally start in a rather confusing manner. Our little monkey friend will end up in these new lands by methods unknown to the viewer. Whether it’s sneaking in a chest, waking up with a hundred arrows in you, or just teleporting through an ancient warrior statue, there’s never a good linear path for the storytelling, with what seems like portions of it left out.
