TSA writes: Black Myth: Wukong is a stunning retelling of Journey to the West visually, but how does the gameplay hold up?
After a magnificent 20-year tenure with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Phil Rosenberg, SVP of Global Partner Development and Relations, recently announced that he is bidding adieu at the end of 2025. Phil has been a stalwart and integral part of growing the PlayStation brand and, along with this team, has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure all gamers enjoy a vibrant experience on a variety of PlayStation products.
It's pure speculation on behalf of the author of this opinion piece and it hold no weight at all.
@lukasmain
Im curious how you can make that comment when he specifically mentions Blackmyth? No weight at all? Either...
A. You can't read
B. You're letting blind loyalty take point
C. You just didn't read it
D. You're trolling
He never suggested a special exclusivity deal. Far from it. The author is just speculating.
@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "hidden gems" BMW should of released only on PS5 since its considered a hidden gem that could only be played on PS console just like the rest of the other games he mentioned. The game was announced awhile ago as a multiplat. The S of late has been holding its own with third party and 1st party games. It's also clear that the S did have issues for awhile also and maybe GS really can't optimize for the console. I'm just exploring every possibility.
Hmm, I dunno at the end of the day. The S has been performing well optimization wise lately. I dunno it's hard to tell anymore what's, what.
There is no way in high hell Sony would pay money for this, something so successful and not advertise it as an exclusive console game. There's just no way, they've done it for everything else, why would they not do it for this.
It's people who can't let a story go, there's no deal, they just probably supported a new Chinese studio with their China Hero Project and give them tools to help develop on their console. If Microsoft came along and offered them the same tools early on for their console I'm sure Sony wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Sony took a chance on a new studio early on and they benefitted from it, that's their reward.

Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is the most-nominated game at this year's BAFTA Games Awards, with 11 nominations.
However, the Cambridge-based studio's action-adventure game has missed out on a Best Game nomination; instead the nominees are Black Myth: Wukong, Helldivers 2, Thank Goodness You're Here!, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Astro Bot, and Balatro.
And we would’ve getaway with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids games.
Congrats to NT on their 11 nominations I wish them good luck 👍👍
Beautiful game, love the series, and the character!
Well crafter and well done.
Good. The game is unique, heartfelt, and beautiful. Yes, the mechanics are rather simplistic. But the teams dedication to storytelling is on full display. It's definitely not for everyone, but it won't disappoint those who appreciate video games that push the boundaries of the medium.
More like pushes the boundary of how short a game can be while still charging fifty quid
Love the game. Beautiful looking, game play was solid and it didn't over stay it's welcome.
Good game with the best graphics and animation I've seen this gen. They need to focus more on the gameplay though if there is HB3.
The finalists of the 25th annual Game Developers Choice Awards have been revealed, with Astro Bot and Black Myth: Wukong tied with the most nominations at seven each.
????.... this must be the outlier.
I’m very curious as to why there’s ONLY PC reviews… now where have I seen this before? 🤔
Honestly I put zero faith in ‘professional’ game reviews. These people are activists more then anything
So he expected a Soulslike game but this is 'just an action game where the bosses are sometimes hard'. What the actual..... So then Ninja Gaiden and games like it must be crap because they are also action games where the bosses can be difficult....note 'difficult' , not 'hard' Mr Journalist.
Whats hard seems to be your crotch area for the concept of 'Soulslike' which this game is NOT. In fact why don't you take all the disc covers from your favourite souls games and jam them up your ass sideways...right where this pathetic review should be.
The very fact that you brought up the fake misconduct claims as worth mentioning ( hint: they have fuckall to do with the product you are supposed to be professionally reviewing ) immediately invalidates your thoughts in the game since you are a sheep incapable of forming your own.
NOTE: Not ONCE does he mention technical issues so his 6/10 is literally because it didn't feel soulslike enough and the action didn't 'feel' right. Oh and anticipation was dampened because of the sexist studio ( although that didn't affect his review....promise! ). Yeah right.
