I started the journey as a lowly tarnished, with only the guidance of grace to guide me on a perilous path of struggle, hardship and suffering. I stumbled, I failed and I died. I came back up again, learning from my mistakes.
In the journey, I faced many great enemies. Some I admired and respected while some I loathed and hated, yet thankful for them all.
I made friends, learned from teachers, faced-off adversaries, fell in love, cried in loss, and shared on the happiness of each and every characters of the game. For those who may call me their consort, their lambkin, their tarnished, or even their lord; i express my thanks.

This game was my second entry to fromsoftwares, ( the first being sekiro), and I am at a loss of words to express the emotional rollercoaster I went through during my playthroughs. I now understand why their games are so well-celebrated and has such a vast community.

It doesn't matter if I am a lowly tanished, I shall never put my foolish ambitions to rest.

Black Myth: Wukong is THE BEST game i have ever played till now. The narrative, the characters, the gameplay, the world design, everything is a deep appreciation to the epic tales of The Journey to the West, and the developer Game Science's take on the story of Sun Wukong on his path to attain freedom, breaking the shackles of the celestial court imposed on him, and to become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, aka the Monkey King.

This game was an adventure to say the least, to be in the hide of the Destined one, and to experience the tales that the Great Sage has lived through, following his footsteps.
The story is placed after the events of the Journey to the West, with the stories divided into six chapters, and each teaching us essential life lessons. We witness how many of the characters for the book are facing with emotional constraints: like greed, pride, lust, sorrow, loss, and many more; and how each chapter concludes with a very sweet and emotional music video made with different animation mediums to explore these emotional but moral teachings.

Every moment I spent in this game has made me a witness of how rich and beautifully designed a game could ever be. Every details, designs, art direction are at their finest; and the higher form of narrative that the game revolves around makes me appreciate it even more. It's really hard to believe this was actually one of the first AAA games from China.

Long story short, this game has become a very influential part of my life and have given me deep appreciation to the rich narrative stories and life lessons the tales from Journey to the West imparts on us.

There had been rumours of this being a part of the Black Myth trilogy; with one rumoured to be Black Myth: Jiang Ziya. So if the other one turns out to be Black Myth: Nezha, you can count me to be in the front of the line and my sincere support to the Game Science team.
