Black Myth feels like they showed what they could do, got people to invest and more talent to join, and then they finally came out with a good finished game by not rushing it. I heard there were bugs, but I never had any. This was what No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk could have been and eventually did become had they been in development for longer.

Black myth is the perfect example that it is still VERY possible to create great games with a smaller dev team. It’s just that larger producers are too busy squeezing as much money from their consumers as they can, they became akin to that of scammers.

I thought black myth was basically a boss monster hunter game with a super closed arena like environment based on a trailer and was ready to forget all about it. Bought it day 1 after previewing gameplay while holding my breath and crossing my fingers. I havent even thought about any other game since its release. I skipped work monday just to play it without my kids around 😂 i am 100% sucked into it and the world and story they created. One of thee absolute best games i have ever played and cannot wait for the new content theyre making for it. I’ll preorder any game from game science now. And i havent pre ordered for about 4 years

Well after watching xqc stream Cuphead on Kick it might aswell been a sham because I barely got to see anything from the game except a grown man screaming 💀

Wukong was truly a unicorn and felt like a fever dream game. Oddly enough, the one thing its trailer did was both seem believable, yet too good to be true at the same time. Like, there are times when you can tell a game looks just way too good and like its simulated gameplay. Just basically a high rendered cutscene made to look like people are playing, but Wukong actually looked legit. And then it was legit.
Thinking about Wukong, I hope the people that made Atomic Heart can learn what from what they did with that game, and make their next one better. Because I remember that game seeming too good to be true, and was surprised when it eventually came out, but it just wasnt there fully as a gameplay experience.

Wukong was one of the most surprising games I've played, i never knew anything about it and the little I saw on trailers during some events were pretty phishy, but after it released, a couple of weeks later I read a little bit and saw some videos and it was enough to take the risk and buy it. Such an amazing game

People at Game Science were originally working with Tencent. They were the core dev for a Journey to the West related title. Tencent pulled the money on them but people were really in love with that game. So these guys came out and made their own stuff.

I fell into the boss rush Wukong category and was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. This game is awesome. I just started
NG+
Now where the heck is SILKSONG?!?

Every once in a while, Falcon doesn't sound quite right. He doesn't sound "off" just different.

[Aichi]

Honestly, Havent gotten to play Black myth myself (yet) but watching lets plays and friends play the game...


The trailers were really underselling Black Myth

[AndrewsYoutube]

I bought 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' recently on Steam because it was on sale for dirt cheap. I'm about an hour in now and I love it.

[itson]

Black Myth and Space Marine 2 felt too good to be true, and they actually turned out outstanding... And like always, Love you Falcon and Gameranx..

[nope_OP]

Why i feel falcon.. doesnt sound like falcon..

[spirx]

I was overjoyed when I first heard about a game about the monkey king. But just like everyone, I too, thought it was too good to be true. so I took the news with a bit of salt. Never have I ever been so happy to be proven wrong. Black Myth: Wukong has now become on of my most favourite games. The way it continues wukong's story was absolutely amazing. Hats off to the developers. Real Chads right there.

[SomeoneWitSkill]

Honestly, Wukong and System Shock remake should be number 1 and 2 IMO. The other games were either indie games that LOOKED like an indy game, or made by a massive studio who has done big things before. While FF7 remake seemed unlikely...it's Square Enix, they have done this before. But Wukong looked way too good to be true, the graphics, storyline, artwork, combat, all looked too good to be done by a unknown Chinese developer. Same with SS, while it was done by a decent studio, they haven't made something like that before and both games turned out amazing.

This was a fun video and BMW is epic. You guys should do a video on 10 games we thought were gonna be awesome but turned out to be scams.

[xXFroZenNinjaXx]

Black Myth Wukong is SO GOOD. It really has no right to be as awesome as it is.

[Mxcxbr]

Dude black myth wukong is so good, I was upset when I did everything because i didn't want it to end

[far_turtule]

Black Myth Wukong is my favorite game right now I can’t get enough of it. Over halfway through chapter 3 just hit level 60. I have beat the game 3 times now and I am level 200 😂
