There are less than two hours left before the release of Black Myth: Wukong. Game producer Feng Ji posted a message early this morning, reminding players of three "notes".

Original content:

These past few days I have been thinking about what I should say if I want to give you a few words of advice before you go back to the West (Dad Alert)? After much thought, I can't help but mention three points:

1. Play the game moderately and take breaks. Play slowly and don't rush to finish the game. Anyway, there is no better choice after you finish the game.

2. If you are a stand-alone ARPG enthusiast, please feel free to play it and play a few more maps. It will never be a reskin of any game you have played.

3. If you have rarely or never played stand-alone action-adventure games before, then "Black Myth: Wukong" is very suitable as your first entry-level game.


The first and second are easy to understand, but what the hell is the third?

I know that many people who watched our previous trailers subconsciously thought that this game must be difficult and painful. The trial live broadcast on August 20 last year may have reinforced this impression. I guess many people's inner thoughts are probably like this: the monsters are ferocious and scary, the monkey's various operations are dazzling and difficult to master, I like Black Myth very much, I can support it spiritually and materially, but I'm sorry, I really can't play the actual machine.

This is not an isolated case. Many of my friends have been saying this to me. Even if they have already bought the game, they are not going to play it. After all, there is not even a difficulty option, and they may get stuck at the first level BOSS, let alone clear it.

Alas, you still have to buy it even if you don't want to play it. This love is really terrifying... Thank you again for your willful support. But I don't allow you to think of yourself like this.

In the last year before the release, the thing I discussed most with the planners was how to increase the flexibility and tolerance of the game's difficulty. Yes, we wanted both. We wanted to make each important enemy character respectable, but we also didn't want the enemies to be too brutal and the levels too malicious, which would rudely discourage new players who liked the black monkey's appearance.

I often recall how I started liking some seemingly difficult games from scratch, what they did right that made me crazy, and what designs made me want to delete the game.

Can a beginner in action play our game well? Today, my answer is, of course you can.

Even if you have never played any action-adventure games, I am confident that Black Monkey will be your first love. To be a little more corny, Black Monkey may be the best choice for you to fall in love with this type of game; and now is the best time to get into it.

The game is certainly not easy, but it is definitely not as unbeatable as you think.

If you don't have a controller, just use a keyboard and mouse.

Stuck here, go there.

I couldn't find the way, so I just wandered around.

If you don’t understand the game, why not read the story.

You can do anything, the only important thing is: be serious.

This is not because I have any obsession with seriousness, but because most of the healthy pleasures in this world come from seriousness.

The magic of a good game is that it allows you to immerse yourself in the present moment; the essence of immersing yourself in the present moment must be a selfless and serious experience.

A more straightforward truth is that drinking water is refreshing when you are thirsty, eating food is delicious when you are hungry, and only when you devote yourself wholeheartedly to overcoming seemingly insurmountable difficulties can you feel truly comfortable.

To borrow a sentence I wrote somewhere else -

Concentration is close to happiness; seriousness is salvation.

Life is much more difficult than games, don't be intimidated by those bluffing demon kings.

The little monkey will grow, and so will you.
