  Wukong nie je najdokonalejšou hrou, určite má zopár nedostatkov a aj chýb, ale teší ma, že za posledný rok recenzovania sa vďaka nej môžem znova opakovať a spomenúť fakt, že hry tvorené na ázijskom trhu sú plodmi lásky, tvorené zo skutočného zápalu, s cieľom prosto priniesť kvalitu bez akýchkoľvek kapitalistických sra****. Budem v napätí pozorovať, aké ocenenia si hra v najbližšom období získa a, samozrejme, už teraz sa neviem dočkať toho, čo toto nečakane fantasticky zohrané štúdio prinesie ďalej!

  Black Myth: Wukong não faz nada de particularmente novo, a sua jogabilidade é fortemente inspirada no trabalho da FromSoftware, e a sua qualidade técnica pode descer para níveis miseráveis, mas se conseguires ultrapassar isso, a competência e engenho artístico neste Soulslike chinês é irresistível.

  Black Myth: Wukong is a visually stunning and mechanically sound RPG that offers a fresh spin on a beloved myth. Its engaging combat, especially the epic boss battles, and impressive art direction make it a must-play for fans of action RPGs. However, the game’s linear exploration, underwhelming gear system, and occasional technical issues hold it back from being a true masterpiece. For those looking for a challenging action RPG with deep roots in Chinese mythology, Black Myth: Wukong delivers an unforgettable experience, even if it stumbles in a few areas.

  Black Myth: Wukong may look like another soulslike on the surface, but in truth, it is a fantastic action RPG with great boss battles, memorable characters, and my favourite mechanic of the year so far, Transformations. You can be a rock with legs!

  An epic with a simple focus, Black Myth: Wukong may get tired before the end, but it should be seen, as it’s like no other blockbuster this year.

  Mówiło się o chińskiej wydmuszce, a dostaliśmy kawał porządnego tytułu. Choć szkoda, że twórcy nie byli odważniejsi i nie zerwali z łańcuchami soulslike’owych inspiracji.

  Pour une première création de ce calibre, Game Science délivre avec Black Myth Wukong un titre extraordinaire. Il y a quelques sujets discutables et à améliorer, notamment l’optimisation ou la courbe de progression (certes rarement irrégulière), mais le reste nous subjugue tellement qu’on valide le tout. Son gameplay est efficace, addictif et accrocheur, sa technique et son rendu visuel sont remarquables, et que dire de sa direction artistique. Il faut une machine de compétition pour profiter pleinement de Black Myth Wukong, mais quel régal…
