Okay just bought it

Maybe we should ask Metacritic to post pix of reviewers along with the reviews so we can ignore blue hairs etc.

Sounds like the performance is dogshit.

Denuvo strikes again!

Black Myth: Wukong review: monkey business

A Journey to the West, or a stuttering halt?

This gaming industry is so fucked with these clowns. And it's going to get worse. Then they will wonder and cry why so many layoffs

 

[balls of snow]

Can people stop taking people like this seriously? He fabricates a lot of pointless drama.

Outrage culture. Will he admit theres no conspiracy now? Nope, time to brigade star wars outlaws. Will he even play Wukong? Nope time to dig up some dirt on Dragon Age next.
I petition we bring back console warz to the front again.

You want every reviewer to give every game perfect scores?

 

[DragoonKain]

Damn, no physical version? Hmmm... debating to buy or wait for the physical version. I'm getting tired of buying games twice these days.

Goddamn I hate that Xbox delay so much.

Sigh.

What's performance like for Series S

You should avoid all reviews in general. Quite easy to do if you play it on Steam as you have 2 hours to see for yourself if ud enjoy it. Hopefully someday Sony does the same.

 

[clarky]

It looks like I can wait for 50% off on BF

Get your hand in your pocket you scrubber. Its in the mid 80's.

I'm just happy that it's not a 60-70% disaster

Why would 70% be a disaster?

 

[Fbh]

Sounds good.
Though the few reviews I've seen seem to confirm they didn't send out any review copies on consoles so I'll assume it looks and/or runs like shit on consoles.
Guess I'll put it on the "play on next gen or when I can afford a decent PC" list.

What's performance like for Series S

Currently, zero FPS.

 

[solidus12]

What's performance like for Series S

1440p 60fps

 

[FunkMiller]

Those stuttering in the benchmark tool tells you everything you need to know about the performance, with pretty much nothing going on... thats UE5 for you

It's the Denuvo. The benchmark has it.

 

[T4keD0wN]

What's performance like for Series S

Same as series X

I miss console wars.

PC or PS5? If it's PC, I'd be careful. Seems like UE5 struck again.

I'll take that as a compliment

 

[Chuck Berry]

So it is kinda like a boss rush... This is what i was afraid of

Where'd you get that notion? It doesn't sound like that at all whatsoever.

Level design is of the “wide-linear” variety, usually with a clear main path that leads you from checkpoint to checkpoint, but plenty of opportunities to venture off that path to discover optional goodies. The rewards for exploration are great, too: I’ve found rare crafting materials to make new weapons or armor, special enemies that drop a new Spirit Skill, Curio items that I could equip to enhance my build, and treasure chests that might permanently increase my max health, mana, or stamina, all of which made the time I took to find them feel well spent.

On top of that, there are several secret boss fights to discover, key items with mysterious uses that I still haven’t figured out, and plenty more reasons to stray from the beaten path and keep an eye constantly scanning the environment.

I'm talking about Kern lol. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

 

[Luipadre]

Lots of reviewer said its basically a boss rush mode with minimal exploration

Black Myth: Wukong is a good action RPG with one helluva boss rush, but what's between those battles holds it back from true greatness

Black Myth: Wukong review — It's good. But it could have been great.

The Windows Central review is pure salt.. They gave it a 7/10.

That's the Xbox tax for ya.

Just check any reviews below 80/100 and read them, u will pick up all their fakery pretty quick

Dev: Games not a boss rush honest.

Game drops: Yep its a boss rush.

Yes, 'physical' release is also just code-chits in the case.

My parody became a reality.

analog_future still need a "smoking gun"?

 

[ChiefDada]

The reviews are exceeding my expectations in terms of gameplay (i.e. not a soulslike) but it's a shame they didn't go deep with narrative (such a weird fumble), it probably would've made it top GOTY contender.

Anyways, add near the top list of games that I can't wait to play on PS5 Pro.

After Baldur's Gate 3 last summer they're now stupidly missing on this as well.
It takes a talent and yeah they were clearly rooting for this to flop. Oops.

For real. This takes place in ancient china and is made in China. What do they expect to make the main character... Nevermind. I'm not stepping in that one.

 

[Luipadre]

Everything after chapter 2 is under embargo still and thats when the game is getting a lot buggier. This stinks
