Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated games of this month, however, leaker Lunatic Ignus believes that while the game is enjoyable, it may not be a strong contender for this year's Game of the Year.


Lunatic Ignus, who has leaked news about Chinese games such as Black Myth, Shadow Blade Zero, and Lost Souls, has some weight in his argument, and his comments suggest that people may need to manage their expectations.

Lunatic Ignus believes that Black Myth: Wukong offers good gameplay, but it does not have groundbreaking features. The game focuses heavily on sprinting and rolling, requiring players to use different spells and skills to block enemy attacks. Black Myth's combat is attractive, but Ignus compared its experience to Star Blade and Pinocchio's Lie.


Despite this, Black Myth: Wukong could still be a hit, especially with the upcoming expansion packs/DLCs. Ignus said Game Science may add more content depending on how well the game sells.

Ignus also said that if the player's goal is to complete all the achievements of "Black Myth", it should take 40-50 hours to complete. He also pointed out that the PS5 version can run at 2K/60 frames. Game Science also plans to launch a 4K/60 frame mode, and the developers are already working on it.
