Here’s how much he rated Black Myth Wukong.


Black Myth Wukong released on August 20 and it was one of the most anticipated titles of the year. The Game Science AAA game was first announced in 2020 and it released four years later. It remained the most Wishlisted Game on Steam for a long time, before releasing to a massive success. Within three days of the game’s launch, it had sold over 4.5 million copies highlighting its phenomenal success. The game’s popularity in China can be judged by the fact that certain companies even gave their employees holidays and free copies of the game to play. 

Asmongold on Black Myth Wukong: "This is way better than what I'd expected"

Asmongold is one of the biggest streamers and he was mighty impressed with Black Myth Wukong. After playing the game on stream, he had nothing but positive reviews for the title. 

The mecahnics in the game are incredible. They are so well done. Each of the bosses is really well designed. This is way better than what I’d expected. 

When asked if he would classify Black Myth Wukong as the best game in 2024, he had this to say:

What other game would be Game of The Year if not this game?

When asked to rate the game, he said Black Myth Wukong is easily a 9 to 9.5. In a subsequent statement, he rated it 9.5 and the only reason for it not receiving a ten is that he would have wanted open-world exploration in the title. 

As one of the few AAA games to come out of China, Black Myth Wukong already has had a very successful launch. The game’s attention to detail and the research that has gone into the game development is evident in the output. 

I hope that this would empower them to make a big that is bigger with even more scope. It’s so weird to see a game like that and to see how amazing it is and compare it with other games and think what are they even doing. It’s just insane.

Black Myth Wukong is based on Chinese mythology lore and on the Journey to the West television series. In many ways, it is a core part of Chinese mythology and there is no surprise that fans are eager to play this game. 

There are a lot of things about this game that is just 10/10. The fact that the lore at the end of the chapters shows you what had happened and it has this anime in between. It's very clear that this is a labor or love. The story, for Europe, is like Norse Mythology. This is one of their main core lore mythology. I hope that the people from China give it the respect that I imagine it would deserve.
