The more I hear about it, the more Black Myth: Wukong leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It’s a good game, that much is clear from the critical acclaim and 20 million copies sold, but over the past year it has also been held up by certain groups as an example of what we should consider the perfect video game to be.

   Like Stellar Blade before it, it’s allegedly free of modern ideology and is only focused on feeling and looking incredible. It also marks China’s first time on the world stage of triple-A console experiences, and from a neutral perspective, surpassed any and all expectations. That is, except for picking up Game of the Year.

  This follows the story, wukong never wins. It is controlled by the God.

Black Myth: Wukong has certainly stirred up strong opinions, both as a landmark in Chinese game development and as a cultural touchstone in gaming. It's undeniably a technical and artistic marvel, and its success is a testament to the talent and creativity emerging from studios around the world. However, the notion that it represents the "perfect video game" is subjective and often fueled by personal biases or cultural narratives.

The claim that it’s "free of modern ideology" is intriguing but arguably misleading, as every piece of media reflects certain ideologies, whether intentionally or not. What might appear as a lack of ideology to one person could simply align with their perspective. Similarly, its story of Wukong being controlled by the gods adds depth, but also speaks to broader themes of fate, rebellion, and the human condition—ideas that resonate across cultures and times.

While it didn't win Game of the Year, its critical acclaim and massive sales signify its impact. Perfection in gaming is an ever-moving target, shaped by individual tastes, societal shifts, and the evolution of the medium itself. Wukong’s legacy will likely lie not in being "perfect," but in opening the door for more diverse voices in the gaming world.
