Black Myth: Wukong Reviews Cutting Score For Lacking Inclusivity & Diversity

Expert Verified By

Unfairly Receiving Scores As Low As 6/10!

Story Highlight
  • Black Myth: Wukong is receiving criticism for lacking inclusivity.
  • The developer previously refused to work with Sweet Baby Inc.
  • Fans believe that this criticism makes no sense for a game based on Chinese mythology.

Black Myth: Wukong’s review embargo just lifted an hour ago, and various reviews flooded the internet. The critics have shared a wide range of opinions, but the game has secured a decent score overall.

While most have rightfully highlighted problems like technical issues and glitches as downsides, others have been more bizarre. For instance, one particular review has even cited a lack of diversity as a downside.

Why it matters: Games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows have been criticized for leaning too far into inclusivity and diversity. It seems there’s no winning for studios when it comes to this subject.

As seen above, Screenrant points to three main negatives for Black Myth: Wukong. These include technical issues, repetitive gameplay, and the lack of diversity. In the aftermath, this outlet has rated the title 6/10.

Considering the current push for diversity in the gaming industry, more outlets may have done the same. It was previously revealed that Game Science refused to work with Sweet Baby Inc.

This quickly became a point of contention. Meanwhile, popular outlets were criticized for unfairly targeting Black Myth: Wukong, calling the studio out with unproven claims. As such, this outcome is not entirely surprising.

Following this review, many fans have pointed out that Black Myth: Wukong is based on Chinese mythology. Therefore, forced inclusivity is hardly needed in such a story since this is already a problem in the industry.

Nonetheless, the anticipation for Black Myth: Wukong is still quite high. Fans worldwide are already buying the action RPG on Steam in droves, pushing it to the top of the best-sellers list. Elsewhere, the title has been at the top of Steam’s wishlists for several months.

While the diversity argument does not hold much weight, other outlets have pointed out that Black Myth: Wukong has various technical flaws that need to be ironed out. Perhaps reviews should focus on these elements instead of offering needless criticism over diversity.
