Black Myth: Wukong sports gorgeous visuals with a gameplay focus on dodging, which makes it stand out among its Soulslike contemporaries.
Black Myth: Wukong MSRP $59.99 Score Details “ Black Myth: Wukong delivers a fast and fierce Soulslike that stands out from its peers.” Pros Cons When I took down a giant flying blue dragon on my very first try, a feat accomplished even after I entered the fight with half of my allotted healing potions available, I never felt so accomplished.
Journey to the west Black Myth: Wukong’s story follows the Destined One as he works to gather relics and uncover the truth behind a past legend. I’m more enamored with what Black Myth is based on — the ancient Chinese story Journey to the West — than its actual execution. While it’s not nearly as cryptic as Elden Ring’s story, it still merely serves as a backdrop for the game’s selling points: fierce and furry action.
Aside from that quirk, Black Myth‘s combat delivers where it counts. There are standard light and heavy attacks, but the twist comes in the form of the Focus Gauge and Varied combos. The Focus Gauge is built up by landing light attacks, and under normal circumstances, heavy attacks require charge time. However, by executing Varied combos in the middle of dealing light attacks, players can pull out a heavy attack immediately by spending their focus gauge.
Unlike traditional Soulslike games, players don’t lose experience or currency upon death. Additionally, it costs nothing to experiment with different skill setups. In games like Elden Ring, that can be a stressor — the only way to respec stats is through using a precious consumable. Wukong lets me do so for free at any shrine. Anytime I was struggling against a certain boss, I could adjust my strategy and try something different without consequence.
