Hey there, so I stumbled upon this game, Black Myth: Wukong. A few years back, people were buzzing about how epic it looked in the trailers. Fast forward to 2024, and bam! It just took off like a rocket. You’ve got Game Science throwing down this mix of soulslike stuff with that classic Journey to the West vibe. Honestly, feels like they cooked up something kinda amazing. And guess what? You can nab it now for less cash than a fancy dinner — which is, like, wild.
So, apparently, it was the RPG hit last year — barely ever on sale, you know? Sometimes they’d shave a buck or two off, but mostly, it stayed at sixty bucks. Suddenly, bam again! Fanatical slashes the price by 27%! You could practically hear gamers doing happy dances everywhere.
If you’re clueless about why it’s a big deal, here’s the lowdown. You play this character, the Destined One. Pretty intense name, huh? You trek through lands that feel like they sprouted right out of Journey to the West. But it’s no picnic. Monsters pop up like they’re on vacation, ready to mess up your day. Then there’s Erlang. His boss fight kicks things off like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
In terms of staying alive, you go all Kung Fu Panda with a staff, spells, and even turn into spirits or something. Personally, I dig that. All the ways you can fight and mold your journey? Kind of makes you feel like a legend in your own mind. Or maybe that’s just me getting too into it.
Not just me, though. Nat Smith, in this review, gave it like an 8/10. Said it was a wild action RPG with visuals that blow your socks off. Sure, some parts of exploring might leave you wishing for a bit more flair, but the action? Solid! Makes you feel cooler than a cucumber, if you get my drift.
So if you’ve been holding out for a sweet deal, here’s your sign from the universe. It’s going for $43.79 or £37.99 on Fanatical. No clue how long this steal is gonna hang around, so maybe don’t sleep on it.
Oh, and guess what? An expansion’s supposedly on the horizon. So, perfect time to dive in, right? Get the hang of it before things get even bigger. But hey, if you wanna prep yourself for all the chaos or tweak the game with mods, go for it. Maybe get the hang of it the old-fashioned way first, though.
Anyway, we’re always yakking about games over on our Google News thing or our Discord. Pop in if you feel like chatting more about epic game stuff or whatever.
