If you own a PS5, then I do think Astro Bot is a must have for the system. Not only is it a fantastic platformer from start to finish with plenty of content for the 14 hours or so it takes to do everything, it’s also a love letter to PlayStation’s history and honestly even gaming as a whole. I honestly haven’t seen this many franchises represented in one game since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and it was great that Sony even included series they don’t own, although some have a strong history on PlayStation as well.
Despite its flaws, Black Myth Wukong’s positives do far outweigh them and I never felt like they made me want to stop playing the game. Overall it’s a strong action RPG experience for those looking for something a little less souls like and something closer to a character action game. It’s a great first outing from game science and given it’s wild success so far a sequel of some kind seems like a no brainer. With some refinement, follow ups could prove to be something really special.
