GOTY-winning RPG gets huge discount on Steam and PlayStation, but act fast

You can currently pick up the Game of the Year-winning RPG Black Myth: Wukong with a huge 30% discount on Steam - but you’ll need to act soon if you don’t want to miss out.

It’s fair to say that the year 2024 was a huge period for video game releases, having released bangers such as Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and Metaphor: ReFantazio, to name a few.

The year 2024 is perhaps why critically acclaimed games such as Black Myth: Wukong may have been overlooked at prestigious award ceremonies such as The Game Awards and BAFTA. However, it did pick up ‘Ultimate Game of the Year’ at the Golden Joystick Awards and was voted GOTY by the Steam community.

What does the community say about Black Myth: Wukong?

Black Myth: Wukong has a Steam review rating of “Very Positive”, taken from over 70,000 user reviews.

“First off, visually this game is absolutely stunning. Every chapter looks incredible, and the art direction is top-tier,” wrote Forficula. “My main advice to anyone looking at this game: do not buy it expecting Elden Ring or Sekiro. It isn't a Soulsborne game, and judging it by those standards misses what makes it special. It has its own rhythm, structure, and combat identity.”

“After 100+ hours and 100% completion, I can confidently say Black Myth: Wukong exceeded every expectation I had,” explained lvrlore. “Combat is an incredibly satisfying, rewarding skill without ever feeling unfair.”

“Black Myth: Wukong respects your time as much as your skill. It challenges you, rewards you, and never mistakes frustration for good game design. It will not hold your hand, but it will not bury you alive either,” said sinex "3.
