The media ratings for Black Myth: Wukong were released, with foreign media Screenrant giving the game a 3-star rating (out of 5 stars). In the media's review, "lack of inclusiveness and representation" became a deduction for the game.

"Black Myth: Wukong" Gamer Review 10 points: Flatten the bumps and make a road>>>>>

advantage:

The combat is fluid and fun;

The performances in the film version are amazing;

Diverse items and mechanics.

shortcoming:

The gaming performance is not good enough;

lack of inclusion and diversity;

The gameplay becomes repetitive over time.

Screenrant first praised Youke's excellent game design, especially the fascinating storyline and various boss battles. The large number of Chinese cultural elements and beauty in the landscape allow players to immerse themselves in the world of Journey to the West. However, due to some performance issues, it is impossible to fully enjoy them. These fatal flaws include frequent freezes, severe delays, audio desynchronization, and poor frame rates. From the second chapter onwards, it provides more exploratory and open space, but it seems a bit empty, and the protagonist's exploration lacks some motivation.

The author of this review is a female player who said that she had heard about the controversial reports of discrimination against women in the game's science team, and she also noticed the problems in inclusion and representation in the game. She pointed out that there are many fictional and fantasy creatures in the first two chapters of the game, but no female or feminine NPCs, enemies or bosses appear. The only exception is the boss Stone Mother, but it is just a static, glowing rock without any ability, guarded by other enemies.

The article reads, "The lack of diversity and inclusion echoes misogynistic comments made by the developer, which show that the developer disdains female players. Although Black Myth: Wukong does have some enjoyable moments, throughout my entire gaming experience, I felt that women are not welcome in this world."

The author also said that the game's background, Journey to the West, does include some important female characters. But in the adaptation for modern audiences, no female characters or only a few female characters are included, which is quite disturbing.
