Black Myth: Wukong is a pleasantly surprising Soulslike, even if it’s given me an enemy for life
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
You may or may not have seen Black Myth: Wukong impressions floating around as of late. Some claim it’s not a Soulslike, or is merely Soulslike-adjacent. Some say it’s a “boss rush” with a world that lets it down. Having spent 90 minutes with it myself, I’d like to add my ferocious take to the pile: you play monke = is good. But no seriously, I think no matter if it’s a bit Soulsy or not, my key takeaway is one of relief. There’s a lot more substance to back up the style than I thought there would be, alongside it feeling a lot more compact than the behemoth I envisioned in my head. All good signs for the complete package, which strikes me as living up to the crushing pressure of its number one Steam Wishlist spot.
