Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine's new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong's staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp

Given the abundance of consumables and gathered resources, every Black Myth: Wukong player will have items they'd like to sell in exchange for Will (the in-game currency) to upgrade their gear or Cultivate Spirits. However, this option is currently absent. With just a few tweaks, more depth and convenience could be added to this system, allowing players to better manage their resources and enjoy a more flexible trading experie

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

What makes the earlier portions of the fight against the nightmarish creature entertaining, is that if you go into the fight before beating Scorpionlord, the two will fight each other, and you can just watch them go at it until Duskveil takes out the otherwise frustrating venemous threat. You'll still, of course, have to worry about Duskveil (and his second health bar) but the pure satisfaction of getting to watch two bosses take each other on is unrival

We're going to look through each of the spells and rank them, excluding the Transformation spell, since there are enough separate transformations to make this its own entire category, as well as Somersault Cloud , which acts unlike other spells and cannot be used like a standard spell in com

Players who enjoy enhanced mobility will love the Wave-Rider Armor set, which is made up of the Serpentscale pieces. Mobility and Stamina, in particular, are vital for survival against bosses in Black Myth: Wukong , especially as your Stamina can often deplete if you haven't leveled it up enough within your Foundation ski

Unlike many Action Adventure Game-RPGs or soulslikes, Black Myth: Wukong features no map at all, leaving players to explore its vast areas entirely on their own. While it's clear that the developers aimed to encourage a sense of exploration without players relying on an artificial mini-map, this approach is a double-edged sword due to the game's level design. Early areas might feel relatively easy to navigate due to their streamlined nature, but by Chapter 2 — and especially in Chapter 3 — levels become far more expansive and layered, with numerous interconnected pathways and verticality. What makes this even more challenging is that Black Myth: Wukong 's environments tend to blend together, lacking distinct landmarks to aid in navigat

As Focus Points are consumed from every Heavy Attack once they have been built, you should receive this bonus a fair amount in battle, allowing you to take large chunks of health off bosses relatively quic

Approaching a valley, which is almost as wide as the player's screen and that looks like a walkway to a new area, the player is suddenly and abruptly hit by an invisible barrier, preventing them from going any further. Despite their best efforts to circumnavigate it, they found it's truly a dead end and just one of the many examples of this issue within the g

Sun Wukong's three-eyed rival is every bit as challenging as you'd think he would be (it's always the humanoid bosses who have to worry about). He's truly a test of everything you've learned throughout the game and perhaps the most satisfying to finally get the chance to take d

While the Centipede Armor Pieces are more build-specific, specifically for those who want to experience a Poison build, it is one of the best Armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong , and well worth crafting. By equipping half the set, aside from the general Poison Resistance provided, you will receive a huge reduction in the damage-over-time status effect from Pois

There are quite a few items and buffs to unlock that make these duplicates more powerful, which means you can commit a fair portion of your build into making these soldiers borderline unbeatable, but the main trade-off for the power of this ability is its high Mana cost. This means it can be fantastic for shorter bosses or even standard enemy encounters, but in longer boss fights, you might need to focus more on saving Mana for other abilit

Whether you enjoy Rock Solid will massively depend on your play style, and you'll keep it equipped depending on whether you're willing to go to the effort to absolutely master it, or if not, you'll likely want to keep the other option equipped in the same s
