Black Myth: Wukong Review Highlights & Concerns: PS5 Reviews Absent Ahead of Release

Black Myth: Wukong is being well received by reviewers, but a red flag appears: PlayStation 5 reviews are missing.

Black Myth: Wukong is coming out in a few days so of course it was time for reviews. Not from us unfortunately, because apparently the publisher has hardly sent any codes to Dutch media. That’s why the guard wants to see how the game is scored elsewhere in the world.

On Metacritic, the game has an average score of 82 after 54 reviews It is not surprising. Also up Opencritic things look good for the developer Game Science: also an average of 82. According to the reviewers, we are dealing with a very hard action RPG. However, the performance seems to be not very good, as many reviewers have noticed.

There is nothing wrong with these reviews, you might say, but something is surprising. All reviews were done on PC. There is no sign of reviews on the PlayStation 5 and that is always a shame. Since there are many complaints about the performance of the PC version, people are looking at the console version with fear and trembling, but we will not know how it will run before it is released. The Xbox version was previously postponed because Game Science needs more time to streamline things. Reason enough to wait a little longer, the guard thinks. Preordering seems like a bad idea in this case…

Black Myth: Wukong is essentially a retelling of the famous Chinese story Journey to the West. In this story, the Monkey King has been imprisoned under Wy Zhi Shan Mountain for five hundred years. The game will be released on August 19 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
