I, frankly, couldn't handle the wait, nor did my scummy press pass count for much for this particular game, so I figured I'd do the next best thing and get impressions of those who had actually managed to play it at Gamescom. Here's what I uncove

Black Myth: Wukong initially seemed too good to be true. Its beautiful graphics, fluid animations, and fast-paced gameplay were so impressive that a groundswell formed on social media, and the title jumped to the top of many gamers’ most anticipated lists. Of course, those thoughts of the game being just a tech demo lingered, but over time, developer Game Science showed more of Black Myth Wukong DLC|https://blackmythwukongfans.com/ Myth: Wukong and it became clear the title was very real. Now, having played the game for a few hours, I’m happy to report that, based on this first hands-on, Black Myth: Wukong is one to watch out

Sun Wukong’s staff is his main offensive weapon, capable of flashy combos with a press of the light attack button. Holding the heavy attack button can charge up a stronger attack that, in its basic form, has Wukong slamming the staff down on an enemy. As players mix up their combos and charged attacks, they will fill up a focus meter and eventually earn a focus point. These points can be spent on an even more damaging attack that can be timed at the end of a combo as a pseudo-finis
It’s an elaborate ballet of dodges and attacks that makes Black Myth: Wukong so addicting - taking risks to get in damage and then retreating when necessary. Things get more interesting with the introduction of spells and transformations, the latter of which can completely change up gameplay. I only had access to a few spells during the preview, one that allowed Sun Wukong to freeze an enemy in place and get some free damage, and the other that turned him invisible for a sneak attack (or to bypass a group of baddies altogether).

Another person revealed to me that although they loved the game, they couldn't beat the first boss as "it was a little bit too tou
Many other humanoids, even if they carry additional skeletal arms or have insectoid legs, are muscle-bound—almost regal in their depiction. Once players are shown the full scope of Black Myth: Wukong , there may yet be more grit to be found. So far, though, its world is a sunnier one filled with beasts and proud demon kings not marred by horror in the ways we've seen bef
Black Myth: Wukong was a standout at Gamescom this year. Public queues regularly exceeded a four-hour wait, when they weren't closed due to reaching capacity, and there was a considerable buzz on the show floor. Brave people camped out at the booth with a sandwich in hand, sat on a camping chair, slowly counting down the hours until they got to play Game Science's upcoming Chinese Mythology-focused Soulsl
Players were given 30 minutes to try and defeat four of the game's different bosses, with most people I spoke to only managing to defeat two of them. The Elite Macaque Chief and Tiger Vanguard were two of the more popular bosses, with Game Science saying the Tiger was the harder of the two, but a member of the public sharing that "actually, the Monkey was hard
