Customer Ratings & Reviews

There were times in this difficult Souls-lite (sorry, yes, I said it - but I mean that in regards to its systems, not its quality, which is amazing) when I didn't think I could finish it. There were times, after getting whooped by certain too-tough bosses over and over, that I didn't even want to. But there were other times when I marveled at what an experience it was; the beautiful lands, the mythical bosses, enemies, and characters brought to life, and the wild and memorable cut scenes (including the between-chapter animated shorts). The Souls-like influence mostly ends with the game's vibe, difficulty, and general design. Progression is more about skills, gear, and specific stat boosts. You lose nothing when The Destined One dies; your real-life sanity, maybe. By the end, I did most side stuff, skipped two optional bosses, and beat the final boss on my second try. In summary, I recommend it, and it's a really great game, but it does have a tendency to kick your teeth in until you've found the best upgrades. Even then, with end-game gear and stats, a couple of the optional bosses are a nightmare.

I was fortunate enough that it came in on release day. Thank you Best Buy! I am happy to say that this is not a digital code in a box, I only had to do a small update on the game after it finally downloaded from the disc to my console. And it does come with the deluxe upgrade code inside the case. The game is a nice action adventure RPG. Very forgiving but you will die a lot. And gives you a lot lore to dine on. I am playing it on a 60 Hz 4K LED 55 television. I do like what I see but I do wish I had a nicer set up to fully enjoy the art and gameplay till it’s fullest. I can see why this particular game won at the awards last night. If you’re a fan of the devil may cry series and enjoy something that tells a story with lore. I highly recommend this game for you.

It’s not a easy game but the graphics is amazing always motivated to keep train and train don’t give up the history is super interesting the culture the game is incredible I play more the 100 hour in this game I really love I enjoy every single thing

Great game! It's challenging but that's part of the fun in my opinion. Some bosses (there are many) are pretty irritating after losing to them multiple times, but when I finally beat them, it was a huge feeling of success. The music is great and matches what I'm doing in the game and it doesn't overwhelm the action. A very fun souls-like game which I think is a bit fairer than Dark Souls. Black Myth may be difficult, but I haven't run into something that is just in the game to "get" players. At least not in my opinion. Love the game, wanted the physical edition so I waited and I wish I'd played it sooner, but worth the wait. However, I have a complaint and it isn't with the game, but with FedEx who delivered the game to my home. The game case arrived factory sealed (new game, duh), but the lower right corner was damaged which doesn't let the game case securely close. This game was packaged along with a second game I ordered in the same envelope that was used. That second game is fine, Black Myth got damaged. The media envelope padding was pretty light and with FedEx being known to handle things roughly, it stinks that a brand new game was delivered looking used. It wouldn't have happened if I'd picked the game up in the store. I'm just happy its a corner and not more than that. The review for the game is the 5 stars, my review for FedEx shipping is definitely not that.

Feels like a cross between GoW and Elden ring with a great scale, beautiful graphics and art design, lots of secrets and bosses, and huge skill trees. Unfortunately it just feels a little repetitive as the game goes on. Explore area, kill enemies, fight final boss of area, rinse and repeat.

Awesome game, I'm nearing the halfway point and it sure is cool. Game looks incredible and plays so well. It's not an easy game and there's absolutely no settings (difficulty or accessibility) that make it any easier. Very rewarding to defeat tougher bosses and make progress in a game like this.

Game play was great! Game was brand new so it worked find. The story was amazing I played it in full about 3 times new game plus. Also when I bought the copy the container was cracked in the corner and I took it right into Best Buy and they replaced it with a new copy for me.

Excellent Game! Great graphics and gameplay. Really enjoy the backstory and storyline.

Great game, if you’re use to playing souls like games this game will be light work (imo) but if you’re not use to playing challenging games I wouldn’t recommend this game

Ive seen this game played on PC, on the PS5 on performance mode it still brings the game to life. Beautiful visuals and smooth gameplay. The combat is very cinematic, nice refresh. Cant wait to dive deep into its chaos.

Not an easy game by any means but it’s so much fun to play, it’s hard at the start, but you get better the more you play

Fantastic game. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The game’s price is lower than it is at GameStop, so that was nice.

Great game played thru the girst time and loved it sime much had to play back right away

Game is fantastic. Beautiful world. Engaging story. The combat is also chef's kiss.

Amazing game! You can’t go wrong with this 5 star game!

One of the best game. Graphically prettiest game I’ve played on PS5.

Would give 5 stars but the case was cut with a blade. I didnt notice it until I got home and I was like "oh well". The slice was covered with the sticker of my online order, which is why I didnt notice it.

I loved this video game and it arrived in good condition now to enjoy it very good purchase

Without a doubt it is the best game with souls like mechanics, a great graphic quality. Immersive gameplay... you can spend hours playing it.

This game was absolutely amazing. I grew up on Journey of the West so I do have some bias purely on the setting of the game. But aside from that this is just a really good game. Moment to moment gameplay was frenetic and fast paced. There was a good sense of progression in terms of the combat abilities and itemization. Early game you start a bit weak and it requires stamina management, but later on in the game your stats bump up significantly and you really feel like a powerhouse destroying everything. The game looks REALLY good. Only minor gripes I had with it had to have been with some areas that seem explorable, but there was invisible wall blocking it off. Also the dark areas in the game are REALLY dark (in performance mode). I don't know if it's something they forgot to fix, but switching to balanced mode improved some areas where it was too dark too play in at the expense of playing at 60FPS
