It’s fun but won’t be for everyone
Despite the financial success of the game, Black Myth: Wukong Received mixed reviews with many critics stating that its exploration and structure leave much to be desired. I personally believe that it is the kind of game that some people will love and others will hate; I didn’t care for him though I certainly understand why so many have fallen in love with its bombastic boss fights. Once it lands on Xbox, it’s worth checking out, but just know that it might not be the Soulslake experience you’re looking for.
