Black Myth: Wukong is a 2024 action RPG developed and published by Chinese game studio Game Science. Black Myth: Wukong is (as far as I know) the first big-budget video game release to western audiences from China. This game has always piqued my interest but I was hesitant to play the game because I erroneously thought Black Myth: Wukong was a “souls-type” game, like the Dark Souls series and Elden Ring. I do not enjoy playing “souls-like” games, but I decided to bite the bullet and play through Black Myth: Wukong.
