Sifu

Roguelike Beat 'Em Up Released February 8, 2022 Developer(s) Sloclap Publisher(s) Sloclap Platform(s) Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S Powered by Expand Collapse

Both Sifu and Black Myth: Wukong are action-packed games with plenty of influence from Chinese culture, but they both take an incredibly different approach to their action.

While Black Myth: Wukong is a lot more bombastic with plenty of different customisation options to ensure you can play in whatever style you suit best, Sifu instead uses a rogue-lite progression system paired with unique hand-to-hand combat controls that challenge you to try something new, all while balancing the aging mechanic that means with each death you get frailer but stronger.

7 Ghostwire: Tokyo

If you enjoyed the exploration element of Black Myth: Wukong, but wished it was a bit more open-ended, then Ghostwire Tokyo is a much more modern approach that might be what you're looking for.

In this first-person adventure, you're tasked with learning what exactly went wrong in a Yokai-infested modern Tokyo. The streets you explore are detailed, and you get more and more unique traversal and combat abilities with more exploration.

6 Bo: Path Of The Teal Lotus

Playing as Bo, you'll explore a short and sweet 2D Metroidvania map inspired by classic Japanese mythology, with some tricky platforming and challenging boss encounters. It takes less than ten hours to complete, making it a perfect refresher after the massive journey that is Black Myth: Wukong.

5 Final Fantasy 16

Action RPG Released June 22, 2023 Developer(s) Square Enix Publisher(s) Square Enix Platform(s) PC, PS5 Powered by Expand Collapse

If you loved the flashy action and RPG-style progression of Black Myth: Wukong, and you want something just as deep to sink your teeth into, then Final Fantasy 16 is a surprisingly similar adventure to try out.

Playing as Clive, you'll follow his life and hardships as he learns about the medieval-style political intrigue his life has been steeped in as the world seems to fall apart around him. As he absorbs the power of mythical summons, his arsenal only grows more varied and powerful, making him one of the most fun protagonists to learn to control.

4 No More Heroes

No More Heroes

Action Released January 22, 2008 Developer(s) Grasshopper Manufacture Franchise No More Heroes Platform(s) Wii, Switch, Amazon Luna, PC Powered by Expand Collapse

The bosses were truly the stars of Black Myth: Wukong, with some of the encounters being as challenging as they were memorable, and if you loved the pure concentration of boss fighting action, then having a bit of a throwback with No More Heroes is perfect.

With a unique laser-sword-focused approach to action, you'll control Travis Touchdown as he strives to work his way up the ranking of assassins while earning money doing mundane jobs around the city. While the original Wii game has aged considerably, even though you can play through the jank, it's worth picking up the modern ports to see if this underappreciated series is for you.

3 Bayonetta

Action Released October 29, 2009 Developer(s) Platinum Games Publisher(s) Sega Platform(s) PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Switch, Nintendo Wii U, PC Powered by Expand Collapse

Around every corner of Black Myth: Wukong you'll be running into hordes of enemies that all need taking down and all in-between bombastic boss encounters, and if you want something just as flashy, then getting into Bayonetta is a perfect switch in pace.

There is still some exploration, but the levels in all three Bayonetta titles are a lot more linear, and you'll instead be focusing on the action to get to the bosses at the end. If you loved getting to take on interesting enemies but maybe want something with a little more action that's a bit more linear, then any Bayonetta title is ideal.

2 God Of War

God of War

Action Adventure Released April 20, 2018 Developer(s) Santa Monica Studio Publisher(s) Sony Platform(s) PC, PlayStation 4 Powered by Expand Collapse

Perhaps the title that has drawn the most comparisons to Black Myth: Wukong is the 2018 reboot of the God of War series (as well as its sequel, Ragnarok), and it's easy to see why.

Both Black Myth: Wukong and the new God of War titles take a similar approach to action as well as progression, and both lean heavily into mythological lore, even if it's switched from Norse to Chinese. If you like one of these games, it's likely you'll like the other, but maybe don't play them back to back for fear of burnout.

1 Lies Of P

Soulslike Released September 19, 2023 Developer(s) Round8 Studio, Neowiz Publisher(s) Neowiz Platform(s) PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One Powered by Expand Collapse

One of the most influential misconceptions surrounding Black Myth: Wukong is that the game is a Soulslike, when it's, in fact, an action RPG with a few Soulslike-esque elements, but if you want a perfect entry point to the Soulslike genre after playing Black Myth: Wukong, then Lies of P might be the best option.

Lies of P is definitely a step up in difficulty, and it'll introduce you to Soulslike progression as well, but it takes a much more linear approach to storytelling compared to other titles it shares its genre with. The rich environments it features are similar in level of detail to those in Black Myth: Wukong but switch up the aesthetic from the traditional Chinese to a post-apocalyptic steampunk fantasy.
