Reviews for Black Myth: Wukong have just gone live ahead of the game's launch on August 20, and they seem to be largely positive about the latest Journey to the West adaptation.
Although there have been a ton of great game releases over the last few months, it's been a bit of a quiet Summer for triple-A releases. That's all about to change over the next few weeks though, and it all kicks off with Black Myth: Wukong in a few days. Game Science's adaptation of Journey to the West has been a long time coming since its reveal in 2020, but it's finally right around the corner.
Black Myth: Wukong is a beautiful, entertaining, and polished soulslike, slightly marred by its frustrating level design.
If you've been looking forward to Black Myth: Wukong since it was announced, then you're likely wondering if the long wait was worth it. Well, it seems that it was because, as of the time of writing, Black Myth: Wukong currently sits at a very strong score of 83 on Metacritic and a current score of 88 on OpenCritic.
