How Black Myth: Wukong Got Robbed at The Game Awards

The Game Awards Show Their True Colors From the first trailer, Black Myth: Wukong captivated the gaming world with jaw-dropping visuals, stunning combat mechanics, and a narrative rooted in rich Chinese mythology. Game Science delivered something we rarely see in AAA gaming—a unique blend of artistry and action that didn’t feel watered down for mass appeal. Now compare that to Astro Bot, which, sure, was charming and polished, but let’s be real—it’s a platformer that could have come out on the PS4 and no one would have noticed. What Astro Bot lacks is the cultural depth and sheer ambition that Wukong brought to the table. Let’s toss some truth bombs into the ring, eh? Sales Figures: Wukong sold over 10 million copies in its first two months, dwarfing Astro Bot’s mediocre 3 million. Player Engagement: At its peak, Wukong had […]

Legacy Gaming Media’s Hit Job on Black Myth: Wukong?

GAMING MEDIA WENT BANANAS WHILE GAMERS EMBRACED THE MONKEY KING The world of gaming is no stranger to controversy, but Black Myth: Wukong’s nomination for Game of the Year (GOTY) at The Game Awards has sparked a bizarre media pile-on that’s hard to ignore.
