What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $41.99. That was August 2026. It has been discounted 3 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 33 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 33 weeks. It becomes a BANGER at $46.86, a level the record has reached 2 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including God of War Ragnarök ($59.99, scores 62) and God of War ($49.99, scores 74).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 20 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,586 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 27,929 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
1,210,918 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say
When I finished Black Myth: Wukong, I just sat on the main menu for a while. I knew the game was over, but for some reason, I didn't feel like closing it right away. It was a strange feeling, like something I'd spent so much time working toward had suddenly come to an end. When I first started playing, the visuals and combat were what impressed me the most. The world looks absolutely beautiful, and the enemy designs...
ok, so ill be strait up, this isnt really the type of game for me, ( single player and smash your face agaisnt a boss 100 times until you beat it) that being said, this game has some of the best graphics, art and animations of any game iv ever played. I am constantly blown away by the scenery and how crazy good the mobs/bosses look.
This game absolutely deserved to be Game of the Year in 2024, and I honestly don't understand how Astro Bot was considered to be a better game. My personal pick would still be Metaphor: ReFantazio, but I can definitely see Black Myth: Wukong being the more popular choice. The combat is incredibly fun and engaging, and the game never felt particularly difficult to me, so getting through the main story was a breeze...

Black Myth: Wukong scores 80/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2358720/black-myth-wukongThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 10, price as of Sep 23.
