Black Myth: Wukong Faces Controversy as Game Awards GOTY Nominee

Black Myth: Wukong, despite its commercial success and record-breaking achievements, is argued to be undeserving of its Game of the Year nomination at The Game Awards 2024 due to its relatively lower critical acclaim. With Metacritic scores of 81/100 for PC and 76/100 for PS5, it ranks as the worst-reviewed game ever nominated for GOTY at the awards, trailing behind other highly acclaimed titles. The article suggests that while the game's success is commendable, other games with higher critical reception might have been more deserving of the nomination.
