I’ve never been so utterly blown away, yet simultaneously so unbelievably frustrated by a game as I have been with Black Myth: Wukong.
This is, undoubtedly, one of the most ambitious and impressive action games I’ve played.
It’s stunningly gorgeous; its combat is fantastic;
it's incredibly challenging, but always satisfying to overcome; and the setting is refreshingly unique and steeped in rich Chinese culture, just to sing a few of its praises.
Despite all of that, it often feels like it’s barely holding it all together.
It’s a rickety roller coaster for sure, and there were definitely spots during the ride where I was not having a great time, but taken as a whole this is one adventure where the bumps are worth it.
