Thread: Black Myth: Wukong Discussion and Reviews Thread
I just rewatched the trailer. It's just so good.

Will this be the game of the year? I'm really excited to read the first impressions.

Love all the transformations and abilities you have when transformed. And when the music kicks in at ~2:00. Perfection.

I hope there will be some puzzles and some platforming and not only boss fights. That's my biggest fear as not much else was shown.

Does anybody know when the first reviews will drop?

Regardless of the screeching from the journalists, nothing about the game seems that interesting to me. I also don't trust mainland chinese as far as I can throw them, so that's my bias.

If there really are performance issues and the game is too repetitive then 3 out of 5 stars is a fair enough score.

However, this just reads like some form of "punishment" to the developers for not going down the DEI route and bringing a consultancy company on board.

If you are reading between the lines here what we are being told is that if only the devs had paid for some of that DEI consultancy then they would have been told how to make women like the game.

Of course in reality if the game was super woke then the negative backlash would have also damaged sales.

GameSpot - Richard Wakeling - 8 / 10

Black Myth: Wukong is an uneven game where the highlights often outnumber the lowlights.

IGN - Mitchell Saltzman - 8 / 10

Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world.

PC Gamer - Tyler Colp - 87 / 100

Black Myth: Wukong blossoms with an eccentric cast of characters and expressive combat all wrapped up in the rich world of its source material.

RPG Site - Junior Miyai - 7 / 10

Black Myth: Wukong is a beautiful, somber, fascinating tale to experience — you just have to muddle your way through a forest of problems to enjoy it.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Ed Thorn - Unscored

A beautiful action RPG that genuinely delivers a grand odyssey with style, a staff, and a very cool monkey.

I ran the benchmark on Steam.

Yeah I'll wait, lol.

With ray tracing:
- The devs are visual retards, sharpening is turned to 11 looking like shit
- Reflections are nice at max but overall not really impressive visuals for the hardware demands
- Lighting seems off at times with elements that stick out
- At settings that aren't max, there's shadow weirdness going on at the foliage
- Image quality isn't great because of the strong sharpening. Other games with DLSS are way cleaner
- That simple environmental scene is already very demanding for ok visuals, intense scenes will crush the fps

Without ray tracing:
- lol it looks totally the same but runs three times better what is this haha is this the worst RT implementation yet?
 
Something stinks about this game and the drama around the reviews.

Despite knowing that mainstream media was going to take shots at the game over "diversity and representation" the review codes are still sent to those outlets anyway and the more independently minded reviewers seem to be shut out?

Chinese reviewers outraged because they think it should be high 90s? OK.

This is definitely a "wait and see" game now.

This from the same cadre, like Mark Hamill, who want Trump Supporters to fuck off and not support them/their output after the fact.

Crybullies. Tell them to go piss in a corner in a round room.
 
Crazy successful game, insane. Majority of players are from China, of course playing it because it's a locally made game.

Really shows the size of that market, it's yuge.
It also really shows how ignorant these SJWs are about the Chinese gaming market. The Chinese in general hate all this liberal woke crap that they even made a word up for it.

Baizuo (Chinese: 白左; pinyin: báizuǒ, Mandarin pronunciation: [pǎɪ.tswò]; literally "white left") is a derogatory Chinese neologism used to refer to Western liberals and leftists, especially in relation to refugee issues and social problems. It can also be used to mock anyone perceived as naively moralistic in general.

There was no way Sweet Baby Inc. was ever going to blackmai-, I mean, convince Game Science to include diversity and inclusion shite in the game. Shit, the recent failure of the Hoyoverse boycott should have been clue enough that these woke game activists are NOT WELCOME in the Chinese gaming sphere.
