Ever since some trailers and pictures of Black Myth Wukong were released a few years ago, it has deeply attracted the attention of players, and they are all looking forward to whether they can feel the same experience in the official game as in the trailer. As expected, in the official version released two days ago, Chinese developer Game Science fully delivered on its previous promise.

Its outstanding features, such as fast-paced and diverse battles and carefully crafted and almost non-repetitive boss battles, make players call it perfect. But it is not perfect. After a week, players have put forward their own suggestions for some of the minor problems.

This guide will refine several of the most popular ones for you. If you think the same, you can communicate with everyone in IGGM Discord! If you haven’t made up your mind whether to start trying Black Myth Wukong, you can also consider whether you can accept it based on the questions raised in this guide.

1. There Is No Mini-Map In The Complete Game

Unlike other action-RPGs or soulslikes, in Black Myth Wukong, you can’t find a complete map except the road in front of you, and you can only rely on your sense of direction to explore a very open area.

Although players are aware that the developers want to encourage players to explore without relying on the mini-map, because of the design of Black Myth Wukong, you can only enter the next area after exploring a certain area, which makes it very easy to get lost.

In the first chapter, all the quests are streamlined, so you can complete the main quest without the help of a mini-map. But in the subsequent process, it will become more difficult because there are many interconnected paths. On top of that, the environments in a chapter are extremely similar, and there is no unique landmark to help you identify the direction.

In addition, there is no tracking system in Black Myth Wukong, which is very uncomfortable for players who like to explore some hidden secrets, optional bosses, treasure chests and collectibles, because they can’t explore completely, especially when they are looking for lost meditation points. If this problem is solved in future updates, more players will flock to Black Myth Wukong.

2. There Are Too Many Invisible Walls During Exploration

As I just said, you cannot unlock another area in Black Myth Wukong before you have fully explored a certain area, because there is an invisible wall between the two areas. This will greatly destroy the player’s immersion in exploration and it is very easy to get lost.

You may see an open space in front of you when you are avoiding some monsters or bosses, but when you rush there, there will be an invisible wall blocking you. This is likely to cause you to be attacked again during this period, which is very disadvantageous for your battle.

There may also be another situation where you see an open space during the exploration process, but you subconsciously think there is an invisible wall there, which causes you to miss some hidden treasure chests or secret areas. Most importantly, it will make you miss out on a lot of Black Myth Wukong Items, which are very important when you’re crafting weapons.

This will cause each player to have a different exploration progress for Black Myth Wukong, and the experience is also different, some good and some bad.

While it’s unlikely that invisible walls will be removed or the entire environment will be modified in a large game like Black Myth Wukong, players still hope that in subsequent patches or updates, there will be a mark to indicate whether there is an invisible wall here, which is convenient for players to explore.

3. Add More Some Deeper Trading System

The trading system in Black Myth Wukong consists of several NPC merchants. You can trade with them for some useful resources or Black Myth Wukong Items that can be used for upgrades. And their inventory will continue to expand as you progress in the game.

In addition, Shrines in the game can also provide you with specific goods related to the current chapter area or secret locations. This looks great, right? But in fact, you can only trade gold pieces or treasure statues with merchants, nothing else.

However, since there are so many consumables and resources collected in the game, players are very eager to exchange these unused resources for the in-game currency Will to facilitate upgrading equipment or Cultivate Spirits, and at the same time, the player’s experience will also increase.

As long as it is adjusted a little, more depth and convenience can be added to the trading system in Black Myth Wukong. Let’s look forward to whether it will change in subsequent games.

4. Cannot Reassign Spirits

It is worth mentioning that the character development in Black Myth Wukong is very good, as it provides different skill trees for staff stances, various spells and transformations, and celestial medicine passive buffs, and these systems are extremely flexible, allowing you to reassign unlimited times when you want to try new things.

However, this flexibility does not apply to Spirit Cultivation system. Once you select and upgrade certain Spirits, you cannot recoup the resources invested in new options. Although you can acquire more Will and Blood of the Iron Bull from the enemy, players can experience fewer losses by freely reassigning Cultivated Spirits.

If the developers improve this, Spirit Cultivation system will become the most competitive point of Black Myth Wukong, and it will be vibrant.

The above are some small opinions raised by players after experiencing Black Myth Wukong. We don’t know when these suggestions can be implemented, but it is still worth mentioning that Black Myth Wukong is definitely a game worth exploring! I wish you a happy game!
