Black Myth: Wukong is the latest game to take the internet by storm, selling a staggering 10 million copies in just four days. It’s a gorgeous mythological action game that’s already drawn comparisons to some of the biggest games of all time, particularly Dark Souls. It’s easy to see why that comparison might be drawn, both games use similar third-person action combat and camera angles, but that’s honestly where the comparison ends. Black Myth: Wukong does draw a tiny bit of inspiration from Souls games, but grafts that onto a character action experience that shares more with God of War or Devil May Cry than anything else. It’s a prime example of how far too many things are compares to Souls-likes these days, instead of letting games speak for themselves.
