Hey everyone! So, I’ve been keeping an eye on Black Myth: Wukong and it's shaping up to be something special. While it has some soulslike elements, the devs have made it clear that it’s an action RPG with a strong focus on narrative. The game is easier than your typical soulslike, with upgrades and spells that make combat more dynamic.

For those of you who love deep stories but are hesitant about soulslike difficulty, this might be the perfect blend. Thoughts?

I’m honestly so hyped for this game. The gameplay footage I’ve seen so far looks stunning, and I love that the developers are focusing on making the combat more accessible while still keeping it challenging for those who want it. It’s like they’re taking the best parts of soulslikes but removing the frustration. Plus, the narrative focus could be a game-changer. I’m hoping the story is as rich as the visuals.
 
I love the idea of blending soulslike elements with a more narrative-driven approach. Do you think this could attract a wider audience who typically shy away from soulslikes?
 
Do you think the emphasis on narrative will water down the difficulty, or could it actually enhance the overall experience?
 
I’ve been following Black Myth: Wukong too, and it’s exciting to see a game that doesn’t just mimic the Souls formula but adds its own twist. The focus on narrative and more accessible combat could make it a standout.

Plus, the setting and story rooted in Chinese mythology are a refreshing change from the usual medieval fantasy. I wonder if the game’s depth in storytelling will match its gorgeous visuals. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
 
As someone who loves story-driven games but often feels daunted by soulslike difficulty, Black Myth: Wukong sounds like a dream come true. The fact that it blends challenging combat with a focus on narrative makes it sound unique. I’m also excited about the mythological elements, which feel underexplored in mainstream gaming. It could really set the game apart from others in the genre. I’m curious to see how the community will react to the balance between difficulty and story.
