Black Myth: Wukong is arguably the biggest game of the year. The game is the latest adaptation of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West and contains many characters and lessons from it. The game takes place after the events of the novel and depicts a darker and edgier version of Sun Wukong's story.

While the game has been widely praised, one aspect of its story has been theorized by fans. The game has a somewhat controversial perspective in its depiction of the Buddha and the Celestial Court as a major antagonist.

The original Journey to the West is a deeply spiritual novel that follows the journey of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, towards enlightenment. It is a story that blends elements of Taoism and Buddhism and is one of the most iconic pieces of Eastern literature.
