Dear game lovers, you must know that there is a very important event in the gaming industry every December. Yes, it is The Game Awards, founded by game journalist Geoff Keighley in 2014, and it has an authoritative position in the gaming industry.
This award ceremony celebrates excellent new games, excellent game content creators, and the most popular games of the year. Games like The Legend of Zelda and Elden Ring have won this award. Now, I think Black Myth Wukong has what it takes to win this award.
Flourishing Creativity
Black Myth Wukong is based on a Chinese mythological story called Journey to the West, that has existed for more than 500 years. This story is so popular in China that it has been repeatedly remade into a TV series in China. One of the most popular anime in the world, Dragon Ball, is also inspired by this story.
Now, the Chinese company Game Science has launched a game inspired by Journey to the West to share this wonderful Chinese mythological story with the world. It has brought vitality to the gaming industry.
Attention To Detail
Black Myth Wukong revolves around the self-development journey of The Monkey King, Wukong’s predecessor, and others. Its gameplay system is very satisfying, and you can create a build of abilities in the game.
The more ability points and Black Myth Wukong Items you gain during your journey, the faster you will level up. In turn, your character’s strength and the power of your weapons will increase. You will also have the opportunity to gain invisibility, lightning abilities, a creepy spider staff, and hardening.
The game also involves a unique transformation mechanic. When the chosen one retraces the path of his predecessors, once you encounter and kill enemies, you have the opportunity to transform into those enemies and temporarily use their abilities.
User-Friendly Boss-Run Meta
What’s more surprising for new players is that Black Myth Wukong has expanded into a more user-friendly boss-run meta. It has long been dominated by From Software, the company that created difficult games such as Elden Ring and Sekiro.
But now you have a new option. Black Myth Wukong provides convenience for players who want to play a similar game but may not have reached the skill level of this game yet.
Wukong’s character design is amazing, and there are 113 unique bosses in the game, each with different difficulties and mechanisms. These bosses complement the environment and the overall story, contributing to the broader world building of Chinese mythology.
Beautiful Cutscenes
More worth mentioning are the six animated cutscenes interspersed between each chapter. These animations were jointly produced by Game Science and many studios such as Big Smoke and Green Monster.
The cutscenes include 2D and stop-motion animations, which together with the game’s 3D graphics create a gorgeous visual experience. They give you a break between consecutive boss battles, help you understand the background stories of the characters you encounter, and let you immerse yourself in this myth through gorgeous visual effects.
It can be said that Wukong has achieved the ultimate in every aspect, as refreshing as a piece of art. In an era when the market is full of works that ignore details or dare not to innovate, works like this are worth encouraging.
