Rate top gamesI tried so hard to finish this game—not because of the frequent, frustrating bosses every 10 feet, but because of how boring it is. Also, a lot of people got misled by early impressions and comparisons to God of War, when in reality, Black Myth: Wukong is way closer to a Soulslike—just not as refined.
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.
