Black Myth: Wukong
Black Myth: Wukong stands out for placing Chinese mythology at the centre of an action RPG.

Why I recommend it
I recommend Black Myth: Wukong because its identity is clear. Game Science has built an action RPG around Chinese mythology, rather than treating it as background decoration. You play as the Destined One, facing challenges while uncovering the obscured truth behind a legend from the past. That premise gives the adventure a specific cultural foundation and a strong sense of purpose.
It is also an easy game to place for anyone choosing what to play next. This is a PC release built around a solo adventure, with action and RPG elements at its core. The focus on a single-player journey makes it a good option for people who want to progress at their own pace. I would particularly recommend it to players interested in mythology and story-led action games, including families comfortable sharing or discussing a solo experience.
