It is a rare thing when a game ends up looking as good as the initial trailers promised, but Black Myth: Wukong _ **** _ has delivered where many games have not. The graphical fidelity and visuals of the title cannot be overstated, and the scale of its intro alone shows players the kind of work and detail that went into the title, presenting Wukong as the divinely powerful being that he is in the Journey to the West novel. It’s all impressive work, but this level of graphical fidelity and scale comes at a c
The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn’t be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e
This mid-game Transformation allows you to transform into a Macaque Chief and deal multiple slashes with your long blade, with the last hit dealing more Damage and granting more Focus . Its Heavy Attack is slower, but much stronger, and grants even more Fo
The last and best Transformation is acquired through a secret ending and by defeating the final boss in Black Myth Wukong , and therefore, it is as difficult to obtain as it is powerful. With the Azure Dome Transformation, you can turn into the Stone Monkey to gain many talents and features, such as Indestructible, Earthshatter Slam, and best of all, the Monkey Mind Spell, as detailed be
Unlike many action-RPGs or soulslikes, Black Myth: Wukong features no map at all, leaving players to explore its vast areas entirely on their own. While it’s clear that the developers aimed to encourage a sense of exploration without players relying on an artificial mini-map, this approach is a double-edged sword due to the game’s level design. Early areas might feel relatively easy to navigate due to their streamlined nature, but by Chapter 2 — and especially in Chapter 3 — levels become far more expansive and layered, with numerous interconnected pathways and verticality. What makes this even more challenging is that Black Myth: Wukong ‘s environments tend to blend together, lacking distinct landmarks to aid in navigat
SonSon and Mega Man: The Wily Wars are good for references, but what if players wanted to experience the actual novel in a video game format? Later games managed this with some artistic license, though some old school games did try to cram the novel into an NES cartridge or an arcade board, to varying degrees of succ
At least, with **Black Myth: Wukong ** , it is obvious why there is extra storage required, unlike titles like Call of Duty: Warzones and EA Sports FC 24 & 25 . The game looks amazing, just like the original trailer a few years ago that blew everyone’s mind. No matter what is said about the game, it is nice to see a title that delivers on its intended promises and doesn’t falsely lead players into thinking it will look better than it actually does. Ultimately, the 130GB is a steep but worthwhile sacrif
It’s a post-apocalyptic, futuristic take on the tale, where, after Monkey forces their ship to crash, Trip (Sanzang) uses a special headband to make him escort her home safely as recompense. The game played well, despite some frame rate hiccups, and earned multiple awards, particularly for Andy Serkis’ performance as Monkey. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate into sales, leaving it as one of Ninja Theory’s most underrated ga
While it’s unrealistic to expect the removal of all invisible walls or significant changes to the environment’s design in a game as large as Black Myth: Wukong , a mini-map that highlights actual routes and dead ends could provide a simple solution. This would ease exploration, especially for completioni

Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine’s new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong’s staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp
