pushsquare.com:

Black Myth: Wukong turned out to be a real game after all, and it launched on PS5 one whole week ago. We're hoping that most of you will have been able to form a functional opinion on the action title at this point, and so as always, we want you to give it an official Push Square rating.

In case you're curious, we gave the game a 'great' 8/10 in our Black Myth: Wukong PS5 Review. While we bemoaned performance issues on Sony's system, we heaped praise on the title's boss fights and often explosive action. «It takes time for Black Myth: Wukong's combat to truly click, but when it does, this is one of the most creative action titles on PS5. One after another, its spectacular boss battles steal the show — a procession of memorable encounters that showcase the game's incredible artistry,» we concluded.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Its a 6 out of 10. Middling combat, middling level design, middling RPG elements and a middling story.
Black Myth Wukong is the definition of a overrated modern video game in that no one would care about it if not for its graphical fidelity and overall high production value

Toward the end of chapter 2, I’m leaning toward 9/10. Potentially the third best game of 2024 so far. That could all change, of course, but that’s how I feel now.

Too hard for my slow hands...
