Black Myth: Wukong (2024 Video Game)

What a let down
21 August 2024
First off it runs awful on ps5

Im getting under 15 fps in some of these boss fights That can be patched I guess tho.

The game itself is not good, not necessarily bad but definitely not good. The level design is really bad, levels are invisible hallways that pretty much boil down to a series of straight lines, in these levels are a very small number of boring enemies that die in a single hit and borderline can't even hurt you. Exploration is simply walking down paths in a straight line till you find some more crafting materials. Yay.

The controls on ps5 feel very unresponsive as well, specially the one to heal, if say 30% of the time when I press left bumper to heal nothing happens then I press it again and can heal. This is with full stamina and having flasks left so idk what's going on

But okay what bout the bosses

I've done 20 so far and not a single one was particularly memorable, they are extremely easy and mechanically simple and I feel incredibly let down so far.

Obviously I'm not done yet, I might drop it but I spent $70 so I'm probably gonna finish it. Who knows Mabey it gets much better later on but as it stands the fps is unexpectedly bad for a modern console and that alone makes it not worth playing let alone the many many other flaws.

Oh and the story / dialogue is so cringe.
