what do you mean? it's not just a boss rush game.
from the looks of the released footage so far, it has story, atmosphere etc. etc. etc.

you could characterize sifu as boss rush as well, and people loved it! it's 40 bucks and has 5 bosses! this is 60 bucks and has 80 bosses (allegedly)

if it's good, it's good! btw don't buy until release, and we'll see if it deserves what it asks for!

i just hope it delivers!

Ign just dropped the final trailer, the game looks great

I always found it suspicious that recent preview footage was 90% boss battles. I've been in on the hype because i was looking forward to exploring the world behind all this, but if its really mostly boss fights i think i'll pass, meh.

It's an exaggeration but several outlets who played a preview of the game described it as a boss rush. Here are some quotes but you can find more easily by googling.

Fextralife: "the game is mission based and each mission seems to be mostly a boss fight [...] generally speaking you go through a couple of enemies and you are on to a boss fight within five minutes."

PCGamer: "As far as I can tell, Black Myth is one long boss rush. No fuss, all fight."

Eurogamer: "Black Myth: Wukong is a brilliant boss rush, but is it a Soulslike?"

RockPaperShotgun: "my time with the first chapter did indeed feel a bit like a boss rush."

PCGamesN: "All of this essentially turns Black Myth into a boss rush."

VG247: "So, Black Myth Wukong is not a Soulslike. Good. It’s more of a boss rush, something that – to me – feels more like a game at the intersection of Ninja Gaiden and Nioh"

I doubt that you'll reach all these NPCs here, even though you made an effort to explain your point well.

I was imagining exploring a vast world behind all this with next-gen graphics, etc., but it's definitely going to be a dumbed-down version.

It wouldn't have to be open-world, but it sounds like the path to every boss is just a bit of window dressing and that's it.

Could still be a good game, but far from what i expected, and i guess that's not just us. Will see.

Good/Bad we will find out on release date.

If the game isnt for you then simply dont buy it, why do you care about its price? Leave the caring for us who are interested in the game.

You will definitely be fascinated by the exploration and side stories in the game

Well to OP's defense people were saying that this game will be 20 hours max. So not a ton of exploration to be had in that short of time.

Hmmm, 20 hours....

After watching 2 hours of gameplay there was hardly any story after the first cinematic cut scene. Powerful monkey dies. Monkey ancestor in the far future tries to get pieces of his soul to bring him back… then nothing. Just boss fight after boss fight with no context at all. Am I wrong ?

[Oodanna]

players would kill for fromsoft to add a genuine boss rush to their games without needing to use mods dx

Nope, that's pretty much it.
Game is blown out of proportions. It's a decent 7/10, but not worth the 60.

People always find random ♥♥♥♥ to get upset about, its not a boss rush, but even if it was when did it become "boss rush = bad"

Idk how people randomly come up with values to stuff. F2P games must be amazing cause its 1K+ hours of slaving away behind whales with unfun gameplay but at least its free :3

So was it a boss rush?
