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.

Black Myth: Wukong was a letdown. It ran poorly with noticeable ghosting and low visual quality. Combat wasn't broken, but it felt boring-mostly light or heavy attacks with the occasional ability. The perfect dodge effect looked cool, but fights lacked variety and depth. The story didn't pull me in, and I found myself not caring about what was happening. Voice acting felt off. Despite the hype, it came off as unpolished and forgettable. I also found navigation frustrating at times-I often wasn't sure where to go or what to do next. Overall i didn't enjoy my time in that game and i wont be playing it again.
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!

We don't need game, but a pioneer to slash and tear the fake mask of political right!
To the game itself, it had been immersing my soul! I could even dream of it without being misled to think the monsters(or Yao Mo Gui Guai?) exist for real! It controlled at a degree under the Analog Horror! I can use a hard stick to hit through the hardest rock of defense, defeating the bosses all the way with failures but without punishment!
It's a fine proganda of Chinese culture, a hard impact on those trying to mess up the Chinese society, believing that Chinese can make 3A game with full purpose, spreading cultural confidence!

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..
