An ambitious but uneven action role-player, with impressive visuals and excellent boss battles, that are held back by an inherent shallowness – particularly in the lack of meaningful exploration.

Techniquement à peaufiner, mais grâce à son univers aussi beau que rafraîchissant et à un gameplay aussi exigeant qu'il est réjouissant, Black Myth : Wukong marque assurément les esprits. Dans le bon sens.

Prenant pour qui apprécie les dialogues à choix et les univers de Tornquist, Dustborn n'est pas sans défauts, mais le combat de ses personnages résonne plus encore aujourd'hui que celui des Invisibles de Morrison à leur époque.

After the first hour, I was sure finishing Dustborn would be up there with folding laundry in terms of chores – but just a few hours later and I was invested in the welfare of all my little freaky friends as they played gigs, fought robots, and had sometimes melodramatic conversations. Its band of well-intentioned weirdos tells an absorbing story in an alternate-history America, and while I may have started by rolling my eyes, I was high on science fiction satisfaction and wondering if I was too old to get a neck tattoo and some neon accessories by the end.

Overall, it was enjoyable to watch the relationships between the characters unfold. However, the prologue soured it early on for me, as it felt a bit too overexaggerated. The conversations and getting to explore new environments were some of the best parts of Dustborn, while I unfortunately found the combat system to be a little lacking in places. Still, the idea for this game is incredibly unique and one that I really enjoyed.

Dustborn grabs the generic modern day adventure game formula and adds a bunch of cliché and often annoying characters, a subpar story, some low-grade music, along with a heavy-handed dose of politics front and center, resulting in a middling and overlong road trip that's more concerned about its poorly delivered message than anything else.

Where Dustborn works – its characters and story – it really works. Leaden combat and side-missions leave it a little lacking.

Dustborn is a single-player, story-driven action-adventure game about hope, love, friendships, robots…and the power of words. You play Pax: exile, con-artist, Anomal — with the ability to weaponize language. Looking for a new life and a way out, Pax has been hired to transport an important package from Pacifica to Nova Scotia, across the Justice-controlled American Republic. Sounds like a legit reason for a road-trip, right? So pack your bags, assemble a crew with their own peculiar powers, and get ready to travel the country! Explore the stunning Neo-Western landscapes of an alternate history America on a robot-driven tour bus, and stop at a dozen locations along the road to build your crew, manage relationships, complete missions, and face increasingly difficult challenges. But the people you stole the package from want it back, and the authoritarian Justice is hot on your heels, so don’t forget to pack your baseball bat! (And, oh yeah, you’re travelling undercover as a punk-rock band, so you’ll definitely need to brush up on your musical skills before your next gig.) At the end of the road lies salvation…but to get there, you’ll need to cross an entire continent.

Après une première approche compliquée, Black Myth Wukong nous a ouvert ses portes (littéralement) et on doit dire qu’on aurait été déçu de passer à côté de son aventure. Soutenu par l’un des gameplay les plus grisants de ces dernières années, le jeu de Game Science nous offre un défi savamment dosé qui nous donne envie d’en découvrir plus à chaque fois. Pas si linéaire que cela en fin de compte, le périple du Prédestiné aurait cependant gagné à être plus concis et à gommer ses portions les plus étendues pour se concentrer sur l’essentiel. Quoi qu’il en soit, pour cette grande première, le jeu honore sa promesse en termes d’immersion, de système de jeu et de divertissement, même si on regrette le manque de rythme, la redondance du level design et quelques légers défauts. Les créateurs de Black Myth Wukong ont fait parler leur science : la formule n’est pas parfaite mais l’alchimie opère !

Black Myth Wukong si è rivelato un'esperienza ben al di sopra delle nostre aspettative e riesce incredibilmente ad esserlo pur presentando tutti i difetti che ci aspettavamo a causa dalla scarsa esperienza del team di sviluppo e della parziale immaturità dell'ecosistema dello sviluppo cinese. Questo è un gioco che più che mai rappresenta il suo mercato: è imponente, impressionante, a tratti eccezionale, ma al contempo si concentra troppo sull'impatto tecnico e sugli elementi macroscopici, tralasciando dettagli importanti e cadendo in ingenuità che non ci si aspetterebbe da un team con tali capacità tecniche. Resta un action estremamente variegato e divertente, con qualità uniche e alcuni momenti altissimi. Siamo lontani dal capolavoro, ma non dubitiamo che farà parlare di sé e, se questo è l'inizio della storia dei Game Science, non vediamo l'ora di scoprire cosa combineranno in futuro.

Black Myth: Wukong è un titolo che cattura l'attenzione per la sua grafica impressionante e il fascino della mitologia cinese, ma nonostante l'esperienza visiva e un combat system promettente, soffre di diversi problemi che gli impediscono di eccellere. Il mondo di gioco, seppur bellissimo, risulta vuoto e privo di profondità, con un level design lineare che limita l'esplorazione. Il sistema di combattimento, basato su schivate e contrattacchi, mostra presto i suoi limiti a causa di una gestione delle collisioni imperfetta e un'intelligenza artificiale poco brillante, rendendo alcune battaglie ripetitive e frustranti. Siamo lontani dall'attenzione ludica (e non) di un qualsiasi gioco From, se vogliamo usare un termine di paragone. Il titolo di Game Science rimane quindi un prodotto incompleto, che avrebbe beneficiato di un ulteriore periodo di rifinitura, e che non riesce ad eguagliare la cura ai dettagli dei suoi diretti concorrenti. Un diamante grezzo, insomma.
