Black Myth: Wukong reviews and comments
Here’s my take:
-Graphics are good.
-Gameplay feels like a boss rush. Nothing interesting along the way.
-Boss mechanics can be interesting but often feel annoying.
-The world is large but empty, with too many dead ends and invisible walls.
-Combat is clunky and shallow—no guard, no parry, just repetitive moves.
-The story exists, but no one pays attention because of how poorly it’s presented.
-The protagonist is a muted monkey, making the character feel lifeless and empty.
-Save points are frustrating, often placed near strong enemies that kill you right before you can save.
I never expected this game to demoralize me so much. Maybe the overwhelmingly positive reviews set my expectations too high. But in the end, this game doesn’t make you feel like a God-like Monkey King—just a dumb monkey with a stick and some stances. A monkey that can’t climb, can’t double jump, can’t run on walls—can’t do anything. All you can do is run and spam the same boring moves over and over.
