Black Myth: Wukong vs Natural Selection 2

Black Myth: Wukong vs Natural Selection 2: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, Black Myth: Wukong is the clear choice if you have a powerful PC or a current-gen console and want a visually stunning, story-driven action RPG. It's a 2024 release with high community ratings (4.3/5) and is available on Steam and Epic Games Store. However, it's a Mature-rated single-player game with no multiplayer modes. Natural Selection 2 is a much older (2012) multiplayer-focused FPS with strategy elements, rated 80 on Metacritic but only 3.3/5 by users. It requires a broadband internet connection and has a very short average playtime of 3 hours. While it runs on lower-end PCs (Core 2 Duo, 3GB RAM), its niche multiplayer community may be hard to find in the Philippines. Black Myth: Wukong offers more value for most Filipino gamers seeking a modern, immersive experience, but it demands a higher budget for hardware. Natural Selection 2 is cheaper (often on sale) and playable on older PCs, but its dated graphics and low player count make it a risky purchase. If you have a high-end PC or PS5/Xbox Series X, go with Black Myth: Wukong. If you're on a tight budget and love competitive multiplayer, Natural Selection 2 might be worth a try, but check the player base first.
