Black Myth: Wukong has been in development for a long time, and the excitement has been unreal ever since its reveal many years ago. Following various demos and gameplay videos, everyone is finally looking forward to playing through Sun Wukong’s journey.

With just four days ahead of the release, fans have been patiently waiting for the reviews. The embargo has just been lifted, and Black Myth: Wukong has now received a solid 84/100 score on Metacritic.

Black Myth: Wukong seems to have become one of this year’s biggest releases. Because Game Science is fairly new in the industry, fans were cautious about the action RPG. However, the studio seems to have made a major name for itself after these reviews. A few of the reviews are listed below.

  • IGN 8/10
  • GameSpot 8/10
  • PC Gamer 87/100
  • Gamingbolt 10/10
  • WCCFTech 85/100

Reviewers have praised the combat system the most. This is another triumph for Game Science since the combat was the team’s biggest selling point.

Sun Wukong’s large arsenal keeps the experience engaging, while the great mechanics ensure each battle is better than the last. Unreal Engine 5 also delivers exceptional visuals, which are further bolstered by solid character designs.

Moreover, there seems to be a lot of variety in the boss battles and normal enemies. All in all, gameplay fanatics will find a lot to like here. However, the game has a few drawbacks.

 

The performance isn’t the best, and the game seems to have its fair share of bugs and glitches. Reviewers have pointed to instances of randomly falling through the ground, the language switching between Chinese and English on its own, and more.

It should also be noted that the performance issues were also brought up by two reviewers in the past.

The action RPG has proven to be different from your average Souls-like, which seems to be a plus point for many. The creator of the God of War previously praised the game, and it seems the critics agree with his opinion.

Black Myth: Wukong officially arrives on August 20, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally play the action RPG after years of build-up and hype.
