Hello Everyone~
I am gonna give my first impression review about game Black Myth Wukong which was released on 20th August 2024,made by Game Science and also published by Game Science.
This Game can play on PS5,PC and Xbox Series S and X
Recommended for those who like play soulslike game but its more easier and forgiving than soulslike game like Lies of P,Bloodborne,Dark Soul,Elden Ring and etc.
1) Story = 9 / 10
-Its story kinda not much driven and pretty straightforward but seem good regardless about Chinese’s mythology.
-No quick time event on cutscene sadly to make it more immerse of its story.
2) Gameplay = 9.2/10
– Its pretty much combo just like playing game God of War but got limited with Stamina and also limited Mana (Maximum Magic Point) which can make its game just like playing Soulslike Game Nioh or Lies of P..and also need Dodge,Timing to attack,reading Boss Pattern attack and so on..
-No difficulty setting in this game so it can pretty difficult or some is easy for those player that play soulslike game like Dark Soul,Nioh,Elden Ring,Lies of P but this game is easier compared to those soulslike game series because once death not need collect experience back just like Nioh and respawn at save checkpoint.
-Not Open World game,basicially just straightforward exploring without the map just like game Nioh.
3) Graphic/Character Design = 9.1/10
–Its Graphic already very good and very well detailed on its enviroment but still felt lacking as cant explore on map entirely which got some blocked on certain area ..
-Character Design are ok dokie overall for me but still lacked of its radiant aspect and also its more to monster tribe like Werewolves,Bear,Bandits,zombies and also big rats monster and others deity based on chinese mythology i guess..Armor design on this game also very good aspect just like playing God of War but Chinese vibe.
4) Music and Voice Actors (Chinese) = 8.9/10
– Music in this game is pretty soothing and calming ..not the best but still very good as playing through..really synchronize with Chinese music aspect as well.
-As Japanese voice dubbed lover..yeah its well done for chinese voice on certain character but for me still kinda lacking which only got funny vibe mostly well done..the others aspect voice kinda lack charm abit for me.
5) Features and Skill Utilities = 8.6/10
– There is only little Side Quest on this game on every stage of Map and got secret bosses in order to beat Final area of Boss on every chapter much easier..and also seem no mini games features on this game which only like Meditate ,searching rare stuff like Awakened Worms and treasure are good features on this game..
-Skill utilities kinda pretty straightforward just like playing God of War ..the more you beat Mini bosses and bosses the more new skill you can gain which can upgrade your character skill based on your grinding the levels and collect Sparks(Skill points) and also alot Spirit (for Transform Other Being)
Ok so Total of First Impression Review is = 9 + 9.2 + 9.1 + 8.9 + 8.6 = 44.8 / 5 = 8.96 / 10
