Black Myth: Wukong vs Nioh 2

Black Myth: Wukong vs Nioh 2: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers deciding between Black Myth: Wukong and Nioh 2, the choice boils down to novelty versus proven quality. Black Myth: Wukong (PHP 2,000-2,500 on Steam, estimated) is a brand-new action RPG released in August 2024, boasting a slightly higher community rating (4.3/5) and wider platform availability (PC, PS5, Xbox Series). It appeals to those wanting the latest graphics and mythology-inspired combat. Nioh 2 (PHP 1,500-2,000 on sale), released in 2020, has a Metacritic score of 85 and a 4.0/5 community rating, offering deep, challenging combat with robust RPG mechanics and a proven track record from Team Ninja. However, it lacks an Xbox version. Price difference is minimal, but Nioh 2 is often discounted. For Filipino gamers, Black Myth is ideal if you have a modern PC or current-gen console and want the hype of a new release. Nioh 2 is better if you prefer a polished, content-rich experience with a lower entry cost during sales. Both are mature-rated, so not for younger players. Ultimately, if you can't wait, get Wukong; if you want a sure thing and can find a deal, Nioh 2 delivers.
