NovemberBlack Myth Wukong's Invisible Walls Are Ruining Player Immersion
While players can always farm more Will and Blood of the Iron Bull from enemies, the ability to freely respec Cultivated Spirits — even if it only returns part of the investment — would be a valuable addition. It would encourage more experimentation with different Spirits and make this aspect of the game more dynamic and engag
By all accounts, Black Myth: Wukong has been a resounding success. It smashed the record for most concurrent players in a single-player game on Steam , beating the four-year-old record set by Cyberpunk 2077 , sold ten million copies in three days , and scored a very respectable 81 on Metacritic . Not bad for a studio's debut g
While the way Sun Wukong is presented throughout the narrative usually has him in tense or difficult situations, we can still see his more positive and eager personality shine through, aligning him closely to an Aries, especially when considering his massive impact on the world of the g
He gains a new melee combo in this phase too, where he raises his hand glowing with light, before punching down into the ground and then slamming his staff down on the same spot. This is an easy one to dodge due to the wind-up, so just keep an eye on him and roll to either side as he performs each slam. He can also perform a staff swing before swinging a glowing hand upward, conjuring a line of spikes similar to the ones produced by his slam attacks. Dodge towards and around him so he isn't facing you when he summons the spikes.
Beefy file sizes seem to be commonplace in the video game industry now , outside of small, stylized indie titles that go for a largely 2D aesthetic. Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g
While it's unrealistic to expect the removal of all invisible walls or significant changes to the environment's design in a game as large as Black Myth: Wukong , a mini-map that highlights actual routes and dead ends could provide a simple solution. This would ease exploration, especially for completioni
However, while the game is already a critical and commercial success, there have been some major bugbears for players, most notably the invisible walls that plague the world. This has led to a flurry of player complaints onl
A simple quest tracker or log to keep track of active side quests would be a helpful addition to Black Myth: Wukong . It would make it easier to follow up on any NPCs worth revisiting and ensure that players don't miss out on crucial rewards. There's really no reason for the game not to have
The Yellow Wind Sage gets tricky during this first part of the fight by occasionally mixing up his combos. He can skip the second part of his typical melee combo and go right for the overhead slam, for example. It's important to watch him carefully and only attack when you've definitely got an opening (after the overhead slam and after the third wind blade, for example.) Another good time to attack would be after using Rock Solid to parry an attack, or after you knock the Sage over with a heavy attack.
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.
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 fight Guide fights with little to no repetit
Black Myth: Wukong is a massive adventure, and the time you spend journeying with The Destined One is likely not going to be over quickly. However, after finishing the action-packed adventure, there's a good chance that you'll be on the lookout for something simi
When selecting spells, both the Red Tides and Azure Dust Transformations are decent choices here. Burning the Sage can cause quite a lot of damage, making Red Tides a good choice, but Azure Dust makes you incredibly tanky and can knock him flat if you manage to land the heavy attack or spell. The new parrying spell you got from the Tiger Vanguard, Rock Solid , is excellent for knocking the Sage off balance and giving you a chance to counterattack. In terms of dishing out damage, Pluck of Many is insanely good at tearing through the Yellow Wind Sage's health bar if you use it right before, or right after, knocking him down.
