Hei shen hua: Wu kong

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!

Great game about the monkey king.

It has a unique way of playing with more than 100 Bosses!

Great graphics, Great story, Great cinematic.

Alot of secrets and it has 2 different endings.

I really enjoy the action of fighting, you can have different weapons (Ruyi Jingu Bang - Staffs) many upgrades with awesome looking.

The game is kind of God of war but still different.. Worth getting the platinum Trophy 🏆 I would recommend to anyone like action games to give it a try and you wont get be disappointed and its so addictive, for me i cant switch to another game and waiting for the DLC to be release..

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.

"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.

This is what it means to make a game with love and care and not political and social BIAS. The passion of every person that worked in this AAA title can be felt in every sound design, map, character, and gameplay dynamic.

I was lucky enough to play it at it's surreal graphics peak, almost burning my PC a couple of times but it was worth every small heart attack i had.

This game hands on is what the gaming industry should be and what gamers expect from other gamming companies. Take your time be diligent and listen to the community as you create a rich story and gameplay dynamic free of imposing personal, social and political Ideologies.

Game of the year for sure and i hope this game can win an Academy award for best Short films.

I hope you all can enjoy this amazing game and it's story. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna read some Journey To the West.
