Gaming publications have published the first reviews of Black Myth: Wukong ahead of the release. At the same time, the action game about the Monkey King received high scores on Metacritic.
First of all, gaming journalists highly praised the battles — many praised the balance, resource management and fast pace of gameplay. Some even compared the action game to the latest God of War series, calling the game too forgiving for soulslikes. Rock Paper Shotgun called the project «a refreshing adventure after the Elden Ring DLC», and a journalist from PC Gamer called Black Myth: Wukong «one of the most fun RPGs he's ever played». The action game also had its downsides — for example, the IGN portal complained about poor optimization and a large number of bugs such as missing subtitles, freezes and disappearances of bosses.
