Too broken, and gets worse with every patch. New patch: Overly contrast adrenaline injector makes it too dark in doors, sound is a mess, another badly designed game mode, menu tiles randomly stop working. And stuttering to top it all off.
Takes months to fix simple bugs. Most of the beta bugs were present at launch.
Devs quickly forgot that they fixed most of the issues in 2042; now they reintroduced them again. Challenges, portal, maps. Breakthrough is a huge downgrade. 90% of maps suck in every game mode.

Underneath all the brokenness is a fun game that has almost nothing to do with the battlefield. Marketing fooled a lot of people.

The very definition of generic UE slop.
Fallen Order was a mediocre game, yet it had potential. And survivor made no improvements, same game, larger world.
World expansion only exacerbated all the original problems: backtracking, obnoxious level design with annoying restrictions.
You have just arrived to the planet? Run pointlessly until you find a meditation point. You got a meditation point in the ship? Who cares, you can't fast travel from it. You want to go same way you came? Impossible, make a big hook. Why is it so hard to let you fast travel from anywhere and abandon all the souls-like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Map doesn't help with navigation either. So many levels inside a level lead you to more backtracking, as the place you want to go can be easily obstructed. Or there is simply no shortcut. Also majority of exploring feels pointless. Useless cosmetic after 5 minutes of platforming. Yay.
Watered down clichéd narrative (map\planet searching fairy-tale), clunky combat and movement do not contribute positively either.
To top it all off performance is abysmal. One of the worst ever. Definitely deserves less than it's mixed rating just for that.

Кривое дерьмо. Периодические краши, багующие скрипты, бесконечные погони лечащиеся только релоадом чекпоинта, унылая супергеройская сюжетка с никому не интересной говнодрамой. Геймплей иногда работает, но только иногда, пока не упрешься в какой-то баг или гейм дизайн решение из палеозоя.

Боюсь представить что там насрали без модов, особенно Living_City. Справедливости ради действительно делает игру лучше, но только вне миссий. В которых придется проводить большую часть времени. Некоторые штуки из мода там сильно бы улучшили общий экспириенс, а вне миссий в их использовании просто нет смысла. Но когда на тебя во время партии в шахматы нападают вражеские фракции это забавно.

DLC берет все самое худшее из основной игры и умножает в несколько раз. Скучнейших миссий 90 штук с более всратыми условиями. Сюжетка вообще непонятно для кого про второстепенных бомжей. Пробегается за пару часов. Из нового только машинка и пулеметные камеры, очень интересно.

А, и самое шикарное. Если купить игру в стиме, то онлайн функционал не работает. Пока не напишешь в суппорт или не купишь игру в уебасофт коннекте.

Wukong exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, the intro is beyond epic. Celestial Court, Erlang. The Four Heavenly Kings. 
Animations, transitions, and overall directing are of a very high quality.
It is an adventure game, much like God of War 2018 or Fallen Order. However, unlike those two, the levels are incredibly linear without any metroidvania elements, which is a big improvement in my eyes; there is almost no copy-paste and no back tracking.

Gameplay:
The core itself is janky; hitboxes, responsiveness, getting locked into animations and timings aren't perfect. Even though difficulty is fixed, the game itself isn't very hard if you explore thoroughly and kill all of the bosses. Most of the bosses won't pose a challenge. Level design in acts 3, which is the weakest part of the game, and 6 is lacking. Also, invisible walls are annoying. 
However, the variety of bosses and enemies is incredibly good. 100+ unique bosses is a commendable achievement. Which is more than Elden Ring has, for example. Fighting in Wukong never felt repetitive to me, despite those flaws. Progression feels relevant for the most part, but closer to the middle you just dump it into stats. There are several abilities to choose from. Combat itself is decent; there are many skills to use, and they are mostly restricted by cooldown, which is a good thing. You use your whole arsenal, 5 abilities and 1 vessel, in every boss fight. It is not about spamming dodge/parry or one skill/attack. Many people praise the combat, but it's not the strongest part of the game. 

Story:
It is good if you didn't read the book. Zhu Baije, main villains and side characters are well written. 
But after reading forums and two volumes of The Journey to the West, I could say the story gets even better. A lot of attention to detail. Black Myth: Wukong captures the spirit of the book and amplifies it through visuals. Which is a great achievement in itself.
Every chapter you get a great self-contained story. At the end of each chapter, there is a cartoon explaining the backstory of the characters participating. Those cartoons are very touching and beautiful. The soundtrack reinforces that feeling. Even without understanding the backstory, a lot of cutscenes and interactions are very epic and gorgeous looking. For some people it might be hard to follow at times; it tries to tell a lot of things without over-explaining. 

Definitely a must-play for those who like the adventure genre or read TJTTW. For the longest time, I wanted a next-gen epic mythology-based game; Wukong satisfied my urge.

As expected, incredibly broken. Many graphical glitches, artifacts, noisy image, bots appear out of nowhere, stalkers going through closed doors, don't react to shooting or noises nearby, frequently bug (had 3 of them stay inside each other during alerted state) and do stupid things. Crashing. Most of it was expected, but what surprises me is that the game is sitting at 79% positive reviews right now. Meanwhile, same-ish broken games like Dogma 2 or Starfield are at 60%. Stalker's state is a lot worse. Performance is only fixed by modders; vanilla state is close to unplayable with sluggish camera movement due to a combination of input lag and mouse smoothing. I haven't experienced stutters, but probably would if I had no mods from the start. City areas are performing terribly, though.

One year later there are some noticeable improvements, but still in early access state. Sadly my old saves seem to be forever hardlocked.

They made a game based on a movie with Tom Holland?
WOW! Nobody asked for this.
