Black Myth Wukong review: Exceptional combat but frustratingly restrictive

We’re living in the age of the Soulslike, and Black Myth: Wukong is living proof. Gone are the days of mediocre action-RPGs that barely hold a candle to FromSoftware’s greats; developers are spitting out exceptional Soulslikes left and right, and now it’s Wukong’s turn to take center stage.

Black Myth: Wukong is the first AAA-standard release from Chinese developer Game Science. It’s loud and dramatic from the get-go, with top-tier combat and more top-quality boss fights than I’ve ever seen in a Soulslike. But while it does lots of things right, it’s missing a few important elements of the formula, stopping it shy of achieving true greatness.
