    Our analysis

    Black Myth: Wukong is an impressive action RPG that surprised the reviewer. A small indie studio created a game that outshines many major franchises with its epic story, stunning visuals, and fluid combat system. However, performance issues and frustrating camera problems in certain boss fights are notable drawbacks.

    An exceptional action RPG with exhilarating combat, abundant high-quality boss battles, and a beautifully detailed world. One of the best games of the year that delivers on all expectations despite minor navigation and performance issues.

    Our analysis

    The game has solid combat gameplay and interesting mechanics, but suffers from linear design with confusing invisible walls and lacks innovation. The controversy surrounding the pre-release brief was its major flaw.

    Our analysis

    A solid Souls-Light with excellent combat, stunning visuals, diverse bosses, and interesting storytelling based on Journey to the West, though held back by exploration frustrations, minimal difficulty despite good boss design, and localization issues that diminish the narrative for Western players.

    Translated from Korean
    I gave it 83 points. The game itself is very much my style, and I understand that the game offers variety in each boss battle and that a lot of capital was invested in the visuals. However, due to aspects that I strongly disliked, I did not give it a strong recommendation and settled on a score of 83 points.
