01.Introduction of the Game游戏介绍
This is actually the first 3A game in China. 其实，3A游戏是类似于影视作品中的大片的概念。It’s a 3A title, which means it’s a super high-budget (高预算的) game with top-tier production values (有着顶级的制作价值). Some people say "3A" stands for (代表): a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of resources. 同时，它创下了中国single-player game（单机游戏）的新纪录。
tier/tɪr/ n. 一层
Also, it is particularly hot in the US (在美国也很火). Within an hour of its release (上线不到1小时), it topped the Steam charts (登上了Steam榜首) , 同时在线玩家当天晚些时候数量突破了150万。

So isBlack Myth:Wukonga Souls-like game or not？Some say yes, because of its tough combat (艰苦的战斗) and intricate gameplay (复杂的游戏玩法). But others argue it stands out with (以......而突出) its unique storytelling (独特的故事情节) and rich Chinese cultural elements (丰富的中国文化元素).

So there's a diversity of views (人们观点不一). 这样看的话，Souls-like game好像也没有一个fixed criteria（固定的标准）。Everyone has a different Souls-like game in mind.
ErinbelievesGame Sciencehas really hit it out of the park(一鸣惊人)with this one.
Flora and Erin both agree it’s a game that deserves the hype. 不过，在一片赞美声中也有一些声音表示困惑。

Erin asked: “Did you know that some people are mixing up (混淆) China’s legendary Sun Wukong (中国神话中的孙悟空) with Japan’s Goku fromDragon Ball(日本《七龙珠》中的Goku)?”
Flora answered : “They are definitely not the same.”只不过悟空是七龙珠中Goku的原型。

孙悟空是中国经典小说Journey to the West（《西游记》）的中心人物，也是中国真正的cultural icon（文化偶像）。Meanwhile, Goku, or “Son Goku,” is a Japanese character created by Akira Toriyama . 其灵感来自孙悟空，但故事情节和背景都截然不同。
孙悟空来自于Chinese mythology（中国神话），而七龙珠中的Goku是诞生于modern Japanese pop culture（日本的流行文化）。

People may have been more familiar with Goku before(人们可能之前对Goku更加熟悉). ButBlack Myth:Wukongis reintroducing the world (向世界重新介绍) to the original Chinese Wukong and making waves (掀起波澜) in the correct format(以一种正确的形式).
02. Global Reception of Black Myth: Wukong《黑神话：悟空》的全球反响

As many of usknow, Erinplaysa lot of video games in herfree time. Shehasseen many of herfavorite gaming streamersin the Westbe blown away(被震惊) by the stunning visuals (让人惊叹的视觉效果) and the deep dive into Chinese mythology.
[图片]
Flora is really happy and proud (感到高兴和自豪) to see that people from all over the world are interested inJourney to the West(世界各地的人对《西游记》感兴趣) and the cultural background behind it (其背后的文化背景).
It’s not every day that a game prompts (促使) people to learn about another culture. Erin also felt so happy to see so many people appreciate her culture.
[图片]
So we all know it gave the world an insight into Chinese culture (它让世界了解了中国文化). 那么，作为游戏玩家的Erin，是怎么从graphics（画面），design（设计），visual effects（视觉效果）这些方面评价这款游戏的呢？
Erin认为the graphics are top-notch（一流的）。The design and visual effects (设计和视觉效果) are groundbreaking (有开创性的), especially when you consider how they’ve captured the essence of Chinese mythology (抓住中国神话的精髓) in such a detailed and immersive way.

下面，我们来看一下一些游戏评论网站是怎么评价的？
IGN给出的评分是8分（满分10分）。MC（Metacritic），给出了84分（满分100分）。原因是一些海外玩家觉得这个西游记的故事比较obscure（难懂）。
[图片]
Flora doesn't think there's anything wrong with that because not everyone is knowledgeable about different cultures . But Erin is different. She watched the TV series-Journey to the Westsince she lived in China for many years.

We can’t judge every game by the same standard without understanding its cultural roots (不了解它的文化根源). 用某一个人或群体所认为的统一的标准去衡量所有的事物恐怕才是真正的“lack of diversity”（缺乏多样性）。
If we look at the game through the lens of Chinese mythology and the era it represents (从中国神话和它所代表的时代的角度来看这个游戏), it makes more sense (它会更有意义). 如何平衡representation（代表性）和cultural authenticity（文化真实性）之间的关系，也许是游戏产业所面临的一大问题和挑战。

That’s why everyone is so excited about this game, it is a breakthrough (突破) for the creation of games in China(中国的游戏制作), as well as a beautiful and fun game.
Erinthinksthis game will inspire many games (激发许多游戏的灵感) in the future as well, so she isreally excited to see those as well.
我们相信《黑神话：悟空》只是中国3A游戏大作的开始，而《西游记》也正是世界了解中国文化的一个新的方式。
