Black Myth: Wukong — Features That Would Be Great Additions

Black Myth: Wukong isn't a true soulslike game , but rather an action-RPG that borrows several familiar elements. However, sometimes this borrowing doesn't fully work. FromSoftware's games are known for their cryptic NPC quests that are almost impossible to decipher without a guide. Many games that follow the soulslike formula have adopted a similar approach, Black Myth: Wukong included. Although there aren't too many side quests in the game, the ones that exist are definitely worth completing , as they offer valuable rewards, including new spe


The last unmissable spell you unlock throughout the campaign of Black Myth: Wukong is unfortunately disappointing, and after a couple of attempts, it's unlikely that most players will want to keep it equipped over the other superior choices that share the same s

The other dangerous attack to watch out for here is the Sage summoning Fuban , a huge beetle monster, to perform a body slam. The camera will automatically shift to show you Fuban descending on the arena, so dodge to the side as it's getting close to you to perfect dodge out of the way. You can also back away and dodge to the side to get out of the impact zone, if you aren't confident in your timing.


The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn't be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e


Battles against massive Angels and Demons, as well as iconic embodiments of the Seven Deadly Sins — like Envy, Sloth, Lust, and Pride — are thrilling thanks to their distinctive designs and engaging combat mechanics. While Darksiders 3 may not be the strongest entry in its series or the soulslike genre, the satisfaction of taking down such notorious foes makes it a worthwhile experience in its own ri


However, it's clear that Black Myth: Wukong isn't without its flaws, as certain aspects could have been executed better. Many players have already voiced their biggest concerns with this new action-RPG. With just a few minor tweaks and additions, the overall experience could be significantly improved. From the absence of a mini-map to the abundance of invisible walls that disrupt immersion, here are some issues that need to be addres


The only optional spell throughout Black Myth Wukong Xbox Myth: Wukong is arguably the only one that isn't actually a spell. Spell Binder , as the name suggests, will block your ability to use any of your spells. Not just this, but also your spirit abilities, vessels, and any transformations. To balance this to make it a viable ability, you'll receive a significant attack boost and, depending on how full your skill tree is, a few other buffs as w


Black Myth: Wukong features excellent character progression, offering several distinct skill trees for staff stances, various spells and transformations, celestial medicine passive buffs, and more. What's even better is that each of these systems is highly flexible, allowing for unlimited respecs with little to no penalty whenever players want to try something new. However, for some reason, this flexibility doesn't extend to the Spirit Cultivation system. Once players upgrade certain Spirits (and there are many), they cannot reclaim the resources spent to invest in newer opti

Another melee attack the Yellow Wind Sage can use is a combo that starts by drawing his staff back, causing the bottom of it to glow. He will then swing it forward, before performing a forward stomp, and then finish with a wide swing. This attack is pretty easy to avoid by dodging around to his side and making sure you aren't in front of him.


One of the first full-length animated movies to make it to the United States from Japan, Alakazam the Great is an interpretation of the novel that makes Goku the hero and leaves out the details regarding the Buddhist relics. Instead, it follows Goku's rise to the kingship of the Monkey Tribe and how he becomes arrogant, and even tyrannical, only to learn some important lessons and change his w


The first spell you unlock is likely the one you're not going to want to let go of for the rest of the game. It's no wonder Immobilize is such an easy ability to get attached to since you get it so early on, and it's so quick, easy, and effective to util


Black Myth: Wukong has captured gamers' attention since its reveal four years ago. All the released footage looked impressive, which led some players to doubt whether the actual game could live up to the hype. Despite being the debut title from Chinese developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong delivered exactly as promised. Players are impressed with standout features such as top-notch graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, fast-paced and varied combat, and well-crafted boss fights with little to no repetit
