In case you didn’t know, GameScience’s release of Black Myth Wukong has been such a success that it managed to amass the most concurrent players for a single-player in Steam history. Not only that, but even after days of being out, and even after 200,000 user reviews, the game is still rated a 10/10 or a full five stars!
Players can see that right now where, at the time of this writing, lists 226,918 reviews with an average score of 101/ or five stars.
The Steam page for Black Myth Wukong lists 224,708 reviews that are “overwhelmingly positive” as of August 22. Of course, most people will likely point to China’s population review padding the action game, which is an assumption at this. Currently, there are over 8,000 negative reviews on Steam, which is even less than 5% of the total user reviews, which explains why it’s sitting at that score at this time.
Of course, GameScience’s debut AAA title is legitimately a good game (according to non-China-based critics), which doesn’t make this sight that odd to see. That said, it is getting a nice boost from players in China, which is understandable given the subject matter.
For those unaware, the Sun Wukong legend is something that’s been told and shared for generations within Chinese families. Heck, even someone that’s half-Chinese (me), have heard the stories and read the books when I was growing up.
To further emphasize its influence, Reddit userElvisis2 made a valid point stating, “Do people not realize what this game means for Chinese people? I’ve seen comparisons to Harry Potter, LOTR, and other fandoms but it much, much deeper than that. Imagine a story your entire family knows and grew up on themselves, with a plot that is YOUR culture and YOUR religion, with hundreds of different characters you’ve known and loved your entire life. It’s astounding what this game means to the people of China. I live in China and I’ve been playing it non-stop. My wife is Chinese and her grandparents were over for dinner and could name every single character on the TV, no matter the scene. It was insane.”
