Black Myth: Wukong vs Darksiders II: which should you buy?
Both games are mature action RPGs, but they cater to different segments of Filipino gamers. Black Myth: Wukong (2024) is a modern, highly anticipated title with a stellar community rating of 4.3/5, but it's only available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox via Epic and Steam. Darksiders II (2012) is an older, proven game with a Metacritic score of 83 and a community rating of 3.7/5, and it runs on a wider range of platforms including Nintendo Switch. For Filipino buyers with up-to-date PC or console hardware and a preference for cutting-edge graphics and storytelling, Black Myth is the clear choice. However, if you have an older system, a Nintendo Switch, or want a game that's already well-reviewed and shorter (5-hour playtime), Darksiders II offers excellent value. Without price data, cost cannot be compared. Ultimately, choose Black Myth for the latest experience, or Darksiders II for broad platform support and a proven track record.
