DO NOT BUY Black Myth： Wukong - VERY Disappointing...

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

So Black Myth: Wukong has been out for a

while now and I've been giving it a try,

having a go, see if it's any good.

As someone who loves Dark Souls games and

Elden Ring, I knew I just had to play this

game.

Unfortunately, so far it's been kind of

bland, boring, and extremely

disappointing.

So the game is kind of like a Souls game.

You've got like third-person action combat

with targeted lock-on camera mode where

you roll around the enemy and you dodge

their attacks, and you also do combos and

stuff like that.

You've got light attack, heavy attack, got

different spells and different abilities

later on in the game.

So it's very run-of-the-mill kind of Souls

action RPG adventure kind of game, but the

twist is you are a monkey and you fight

animals.

So it's all like Chinese mythical animal

themed.

And beginning of the game starts off quite

interestingly.

The intro cutscenes are pretty cool and

everything, and you're doing like this

epic boss fight in the sky, and you get

knocked down to the ground and you lose

your god status, I guess.

And now you're just a boring normal

monkey.

With some clothing that doesn't look very

interesting, and you gotta start and

rebuild yourself from the beginning, I

guess.

So I found the movement in the game kind

of janky.

There's no jump button for some reason, so

you can't jump unless I missed the bit

where it tells you how to jump.

You just roll around.

There doesn't seem to be a— there doesn't

seem to be a guard button either, so I

guess all you can do for defensive

movement is just dodging.

And after playing the game for about half

an hour, I know it's just the intro

beginning bit of the game, but The intro

part of the game is supposed to be the bit

that hooks you in, and I just didn't feel

hooked in.

I felt kind of bored.

This boss here against this big boss, it

was kind of interesting, I guess it was

kind of cool, but after that it just got

very frustrating.

And you're just fighting either these

really boring wolves, like these wolves or

fox enemies, which kind of look

interesting, but then they're kind of so

easy to defeat.

You take a few hits, you just dodge around

them, they don't really do anything that's

difficult to avoid.

You have a few spells like you can

immobilize them, freeze them, and when you

do the intro beginning boss fight, you got

a few other spells like you can freeze or

stonify yourself so you can become

invulnerable, and you can also create

clones of yourself kind of like Naruto.

And you lose those when you restart it—

when you start the game at the beginning,

you lose your god status thing.

But you get the immobilize spell, which

is— I guess it's okay.

I guess you get a few spells like that and

then you can upgrade them, but I just felt

kind of bored in general with the game.

The game just didn't really seem very

interesting at all.

The combat system is basically just spam

the left mouse button for light attacks,

and then you got the right mouse button

for heavy attacks if you feel like you've

got time to pull off a heavy attack that

does quite a lot of damage.

So you're just going to spam left mouse

button, right mouse button.

I don't know why there's no block button

or parry button.

It just feels like the combat is very

basic and bare bones.

I don't know if they add these things

later on in the game, but they should have

been available in the beginning of the

game and then I wouldn't be complaining

about how boring the gameplay is, because

then I'd be able to do things like

guarding and blocking and parrying and

jumping, but you can't do any of that.

I don't know why the game feels so basic

and barebones in the beginning when they

should have just given you that stuff to

do in the beginning of the game, so it

would have given this illusion that the

game's actually more in-depth.

And then you got this bit, so you got

these— I don't know what they're called,

it's like Site of Grace from Elden Ring,

same thing.

You can rest, it resets all the enemies,

respawns them, refills your health and

mana and stuff like that.

And you've got a shop where you can buy

health flasks and other things, and you

can also upgrade your skills.

And you've got this weird minigame where

you fly around as a little bug so you can

eavesdrop on the enemies, but it's just

kind of stupid.

I thought it'd be cool if you flew into an

object like this.

It would have been interesting if you

could just land on it.

But you can't, and the enemies don't even

try to swat you out of the air.

You just fly in front of them, they don't

even seem to notice.

They're like, oh, the monkey guy is here

who can shapeshift, he might be among us,

and then there's a fly literally flying in

front of your face, and they don't suspect

that I might be the monkey, and they could

have just swatted me out of the air.

You can't land on their heads or anything,

which would have been funny.

It would have been funny if you can land

on their shoulders.

Annoy them.

So I flew around a bit as a fly and then

just eavesdropped on their conversations.

Kind of pointless because when you go up

to the boss that's up ahead, when you die

you gotta start back and then you gotta

kill these guys anyway.

So what's the point of eavesdropping on

them?

Didn't really learn anything useful.

So then you got this boss over here with

the giant head, which I couldn't defeat

because he just nearly one-shots you every

time.

He does these massive AoE attacks where he

can just two-shot you.

And it takes such a long time to heal

yourself.

You hold down R,

you hold down R to drink your flask, and

there's just not enough time to hold down

R when the enemy's spamming attacks like

this.

So you easily get 2-shot killed.

See, he takes out half your health in just

one hit, and he's got this big stupid fat

face with a massive chin.

He looks like an idiot.

He does this AoE attack where he punches

the ground and blows everything up,

and I just found the game to be really

boring and annoying.

I want to play games because it's fun, not

because it's annoying and I've got to keep

doing the same thing over and over again.

And then these wolf things, they might as

well not be there in the first place

because they just take a couple hits and

they die.

Like, what's the point of them being there

if they're not gonna present any kind of

challenge?

So I just found the game kind of boring.

I'd rather just play Elden Ring.

It's basically just Elden Ring, but you're

a monkey and you fight animals, and it's

Chinese, uh, Chinese themed,

which I guess looks kind of nice.

I haven't really played many games that

were Chinese themed.

It's all been bloody Japanese themed,

isn't it, recently?

Samurai this, samurai that, ninja this,

ninja that.

I feel like the whole Japanese setting in

games is so overdone, so it's nice to have

a Chinese-themed game for once.

But the gameplay just wasn't quite up to

my standards, and I didn't like the game.

I thought it's kind of rubbish.

Don't know why everyone's saying it's such

a great game.

I got bored in the first half hour.

Yeah, I give it a 6.2 out of 10.

It's boring and rubbish.
