Black Myth: Wukong Reviewer Says It’s Good But Not GOTY Material

Expert Verified By

Compared Game With Stellar Blade & Lies of P!

Story Highlight
  • A reliable insider says Black Myth: Wukong might not reach Game of the Year status.
  • An estimated playtime of 40-50 hours for completion has also been shared, contradicting rumors of excessive length.
  • The developer may release expansions or DLC based on the sales performance.

Black Myth: Wukong has arguably been the most anticipated title set for launch this month. However, Lunatic Ignus, a reliable leaker, mentions that although the game is enjoyable, it might not be a strong contender for the Game of the Year award.

Lunatic Ignus is known for reliably leaking information about Chinese games, such as early trailers for Phantom Blade Zero and Lost Soul Aside. Therefore, his arguments carry some weight.

Why it matters: Black Myth: Wukong is generating a lot of hype days before its release. However, Lunatic Ignus’ comment suggests that people might want to manage their expectations.

Lunatic seems to have gotten his hands on a review copy or received early footage to draw these conclusions. He believes that while Black Myth: Wukong offers great gameplay, it doesn’t have the groundbreaking features needed to be a top Game of the Year contender. 

A major point in the comments is the combat. Black Myth: Wukong focuses a lot on dashing and rolling, requiring players to use different magic and skills to block enemy attacks.

While the combat is engaging, Ignus compares the experience to Stellar Blade and Lies of P. Despite that, Black Myth: Wukong could still be a big hit, especially with its upcoming expansions and DLCs.

The leaker claims that Game Science might add more content based on how well the title sells.

The game’s requirements are pointing towards a well-optimized port.

The leaker also says Black Myth: Wukong should take about 40-50 hours to complete if players are aiming for 100% completion, making it a good length without being too long. This aims to counter a recent fake review that points to 90 hours of gameplay.

The technical performance is also noteworthy. Ignus notes that the PS5 version will likely run at 2K 60FPS. Moreover, he claims there are plans for a 4K 60FPS mode, and the developers are already working on it.

Finally, the insider claims that a physical edition will be coming within a year. This should be good news for people who were complaining about the digital-only release.
