(GTLR) – Black Myth: Wukong is a game that might make you want to break your keyboard or controller within an hour of entering its fascinating world of gods and monsters. The enchanting world of Wukong is as challenging as it is beautiful. The game makes it clear that nothing is achievable without grinding. With a rich storyline, intense characters, and the mischievous Monkey King at its core, it tests both your patience and your combat skills.

No wonder Black Myth: Wukong was one of the most anticipated games – the storyline, engaging characters, and rich cultural influences make it truly outstanding. However, after playing the first six hours, there are certain aspects that, in my opinion, make it less exciting. These will be discussed later in the review.

Black Myth: Wukong takes us to the world of Sun Wukong, a monkey born from stone with magical powers and supernatural abilities. For unknown reasons, he rebelled against heaven and defeated some of the most powerful gods in the universe before setting his sights on the Buddha. After giving up the fight, Sun Wukong was imprisoned for 500 years – this is the final part of the original story. In Black Myth: Wukong, we witness the earlier stage, where the Monkey King loses his battle with the gods and is reincarnated. This is where his journey begins from scratch. As you progress, you will gain amazing skills and powers to face increasingly powerful bosses.

The goal of Sun Wukong is simple: defeat the gods. At its core, Black Myth: Wukong can be described as a boss-focused fighting game. Cinematics are primarily used to introduce these bosses, with the first big one serving as a story introduction before the game dives into a series of intense boss fights. There are no maps, so you’ll have to memorize locations and shrines, which also serve as rest stops and fast-travel points. The game is designed to focus entirely on your journey to become the Monkey King.
