Black Myth: Wukong gameplay; I don't get the hype?

[BrawlMan]

Just like with Hollywood movies.

Somebody get me off this ship before the iceberg please.

The only good thing I can say about this is that, thankfully most of games I play are smaller budgets or from some Japanese studios. Capcom already please the Chinese market with their Devil May Cry mobile game, so that has no effect on me really. I do have concern with the Western AAA industry, but I don't touch most of their crap, so fuck em anyway. The only games from China I care about right now is this game and that robot game I showed last week.

Yes, I saw that eariler too. I think the game has finally started to grow on me. Because it's starting to look great imo

For a game that I assume is inspired by Dark Souls, the character sure can take a lot of punishment.

That's the Legendary Monkey King. It makes sense he can take more than a ton of punishment.

This has been in development for what....10 years now?

Production most likely started in 2018-19. Before that point, nothing was ever announced or shown until 2020.

Jesus it feels like forever. 2020 did count as 10 years alone so.....

Final trailer

Really excited for this game, the new music they show in the trailer has that bhuddist sutra vibe to it that's incredible, not heard something this unique since the Metaphor trailers, and all these transformations being playable is amazing.


Also who else spotted the 4 heavenly kings XD.

I wonder if I could mod it, because when I grew up I remember watching him alongside some pig guy and others...

You might have been watching Monkey Magic. With Piggsy and Sandy as the side kicks.

Reviews go live tomorrow which is a good sign because that's a whole weekend before the game comes out, so they are confident. But I still don't like anything I've seen of the game.

Would’ve been awesome(er) if the soundtrack was Wu-Tang.

Black Myth: Wukong Review - IGN

A great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a few too many bugs.

8/10 from IGN.

Black Myth: Wukong Review - Monkey Business

Black Myth: Wukong delights with a gauntlet of thrilling boss battles against a menagerie of Chinese mythology's greatest creatures, but the moments in between are disappointing

So apparently the game is more of a long Boss rush than anything else. Which according to Gamespot makes the levels feel a bit empty when exploring for collectibles. And the combat is also not very intuitive and will take work to get used to. But to make up for the complex combat the game also isn't particularly hard, while it spikes near the end of the game it's not overall all that tough which coming from game's media means it's probably pretty simple overall.

Cool. A boss rush games. I might check this out on a sale.
