Black Myth: Wukong is about to be released, and recently major foreign media have announced their ratings for the game, most of which are relatively high. However, foreign media Screenrant unexpectedly only gave it 3 stars, and elaborated on the reasons for giving it 3 stars, which caused huge controversy.

Screenrant's specific rating is as follows, with only 3 stars out of 5. They believe that the strengths of Black Myth: Wukong are: smooth and interesting combat; the filming is sometimes impressive; the variety of items and mechanisms. The weaknesses are: the game performance is not smooth enough; lack of inclusiveness and diversity; the gameplay is repetitive.

In the specific text description, screenrant also said that the graphics of "Black Myth: Wukong" are like movies, and the visual effects are amazing, but unfortunately, due to frequent freezes, severe delays, even audio and video synchronization and poor frequency, these visual effects cannot be felt, especially during boss battles. After the second chapter, according to the official recommended specifications of the game, it is impossible to experience the best performance and can only choose the lowest graphics settings. Moreover, although "Black Myth: Wukong" creates amazing landscapes, it lacks interactivity. Most of the landscapes cannot be used, which limits the interactivity and operability of players.

In addition, screenrant also talked about the boss battle. Screenrant believes that the boss area of ​​"Black Myth: Wukong" is just an arena. The boss and the player cannot bypass the invisible wall, making the action very inconsistent. Of course, screenrant also praised the boss battle for being interesting and challenging, but most of the bosses are quite easy to deal with, suitable for players who are new to soul games.

Finally, regarding the lack of inclusiveness and diversity, female characters were mentioned again. The author said that as a female player, there were no female NPCs or bosses in the first and second chapters, only a stone boss called Mother of Stone. The game is adapted from Journey to the West, which has some important female characters, but the game did not make some adaptations based on this. Although it will not affect the fun of the game, it may affect the feelings of female fans.

After this article was published, it immediately sparked heated discussions in overseas forums. Many overseas netizens disagreed. Some people complained: Would a mythological game with mythological characters be not diverse enough? Some people also said: This article did not convince me. I am ready to buy "Black Myth: Wukong". Others think: It would be a good day if these reporters went to the streets to beg. Some people even said: If the all-black cast of "Black Panther" is diverse, then why is the all-Asian cast not considered diverse?

Of course, this is just screenrant's own opinion, and for most other foreign media, Black Myth: Wukong is still a good game. For example, IGN China gave it a score of 10, while IGN International gave it a score of 8, Metascore gave it a score of 84, and Gamespot gave it a score of 8.

Most foreign media believe that the shortcomings of "Black Myth: Wukong" are that there are too many bugs, and the English version is not optimized well enough, and Chinese often pops up. These are things that can be fixed later in the game. If there are problems in the game, the shortcomings should be acknowledged and corrected in a timely manner. However, criticizing it under the banner of "not diverse enough" and "not inclusive" is too obvious.
