Thoughts on trying "Black Myth: Goku." The graphics in the movies and battles are too awesome!

The Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG by the Chinese game studio Game Science, is based on the classic Chinese novel " Journey to the West" and follows the journey of the "Heavenly Myth," a character reminiscent of the Monkey King. The game is based on the classic novel "Journey to the West" and follows the journey of "Sun Wukong". The game was released on August 20, 2024 (Tuesday) on PC and PS5, and even before its release, it was the talk of the town for its outstandingly beautiful graphics and action. We had a chance to play "Black Myth: Goku" in our editorial office! If you are wondering about the difficulty level and gameplay, this is a must-see! The conclusion is that this game is quite fun! This time, I, an action lover, would like to review my impressions of playing "Black Myth: Goku".

Simple and exhilarating action

The first thing that struck me when I played the game was how fast it responds to evasion. In action games in general, there is a price to be paid for the attack, such as being caught in the gap between motions or not being able to evade at the timing you expect. However, in this game, instead of a weak normal attack, there is a delay in the attack, and the invincibility time for evasion is long, so I could enjoy the action enough!

Also, you can do more and more big moves to frighten your opponent by acquiring skill moves. Personally, I prefer "tense battles where you have to beat your opponents by avoiding their attacks" rather than "one-sidedly defeating them with strong moves," so I thought it was good that there were many simple attacks so I could concentrate on avoiding them! If anything, it is closer to a " gentle death game " than a "Warriors" game.

A player-friendly style!

Next, let me talk about the system. In this game, you don't lose any points even if you die! So when there is a boss that you just can't beat, you can level up by defeating the small fry and then challenge the battle! Also, since there is no concept of falling to your death, you can explore to your heart's content. However, you can't explore the game to the fullest because there are only parting paths to explore.

Still, I want you to see the overwhelming graphics!

I will say it again and again. The graphics are really amazing. The unique atmosphere of the westward journey, the equipment, the sunlight, and other details are nothing short of impressive. Of course, the well-known weapons of Sun Wukong, such as the Ruyi Cudgel andSui Dou Kun, also make an appearance! The movies and battles are full of gripping performances that are sure to get you hooked!

A few things to think about

I've praised this game so much that I'm sure there are some things I didn't like about it! You say, "Of course there were some bad parts! Of course there were! The first is that the main character is quite tough and does not get intimidated by the attacks of his opponents, so he is often cut down and dead before you know it. The main character is not scared of light attacks from the enemy. This is a good thing, but instead of deciding to attack, he gets cut down somewhat. (He does get scared of big moves and heavy weapon attacks.) But this is nothing to worry about once you get used to it.

Second, the story assumes that you know the Journey to the West. Many of the movies contain many famous phrases from Journey to the West. I regret myself for not learning it, as I would have enjoyed it more if I had some knowledge of the Saiyuki. However, the game is enjoyable enough even if you don't know the Journey to the West.

Recommended for action game beginners!

I think action games are hard to get into because of the large penalty and the sense of loss, but this is not the case with "Black Myth: Wukong"! There are no unreasonable small foes in between bosses, so I highly recommend this game for action game beginners. Of course, action game experts and those who like "Journey to the West" will also be able to enjoy this game because of the presentation of the techniques and the tension of the battle! Black Myth: Goku" is available on thePlayStation Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store, so if you are interested in the game, buy it now!
