Nearly ten more of Black Myth: Wukong 's transformations are put on display for this segment of the trailer, each of which grants the Destined One unique skills, like the ability to become a spirit to avoid an attack or the ability to vanish into thin air. Several other transformations are difficult to interpret, simply due to how quickly the Destined One is moving on the screen. However, this is a testament to Black Myth: Wukong 's energetic and fast-paced combat, as it's likely to keep even the most skilled players on their t

Oddly enough, the localization into English has been done with mixed results. On one hand, the voice work is surprisingly good, even though there’s no lip-syncing. That we can forgive, but there are huge chunks of the game, at least pre-launch, where full journal entries and even button prompts in the world that weren’t translated.

The story is one of the more compelling parts, meeting characters that you may be familiar with in the lore, but how it’s told isn’t always particularly well done. While we’ll get to the amazing aesthetics and presentation later, most of the chapters generally start in a rather confusing manner. Our little monkey friend will end up in these new lands by methods unknown to the viewer. Whether it’s sneaking in a chest, waking up with a hundred arrows in you, or just teleporting through an ancient warrior statue, there’s never a good linear path for the storytelling, with what seems like portions of it left out.

Let's start off with TheGamer's review first , which comes from our lovely news editor Joshua Robertson. Josh gave Black Myth a 4/5 and called it a "beautiful, entertaining, and polished soulslike" that is slightly let down by some frustrating level design.
