Black Myth: Wukong vs Dying Light: which should you buy?

Black Myth: Wukong is a brand-new action RPG (released August 2024) with a stellar community rating of 4.3/5, but it only runs on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox via Epic Games Store or Steam. Dying Light, while older (2015), is available on all major platforms including Nintendo Switch, which is popular in the Philippines for handheld gaming. It also has a huge community rating base (1,420 ratings) and an average playtime of 22 hours, indicating substantial content. However, Dying Light's Metacritic score is 74/100, whereas Black Myth has no Metacritic score yet. Neither game has a listed price in the data, so cost cannot be compared. If you own a high-end PC or current-gen console and want the latest high-fidelity title, choose Black Myth: Wukong for its newer visuals and higher community rating. If you prefer a widely available, tried-and-tested zombie survival game that also works on Nintendo Switch, Dying Light is the safer bet. Both games are rated Mature, so they're suitable for adult players only.
