An officially licensed Black Myth: Wukong 8BitDo controller is currently available at a significantly reduced price on Amazon. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller, originally priced at $35, can now be purchased for just $26.24 by Amazon Prime members. For those preferring a wired connection, a version of the Wukong Ultimate 2C Controller featuring the identical translucent black aesthetic is also on offer for only $16.49, down from its initial $25. This Ultimate 2C model is compatible with both PC and Android devices.
This controller`s primary appeal lies in its distinctive design, which boasts a translucent plastic casing adorned with various motifs inspired by the Black Myth: Wukong universe. Adorned with flames and mystical sigils, the controller presents an aesthetically pleasing and unique look, while also housing high-performance internal components.
Consistent with other standard Ultimate 2C controllers, this model features Hall Effect joysticks for precision and longevity, alongside a rapid 1000Hz polling rate for 2.4G wireless or wired connections, ensuring minimal latency. It also includes additional remappable bumper buttons and a turbo function, ideal for executing rapid-fire actions.
Comparing the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C with Flagship Ultimate Models
The Ultimate 2C serves as the more economical option within 8BitDo`s esteemed Ultimate Controller line. Earlier this year, 8BitDo unveiled its latest premium models, the Ultimate 2 and Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controllers. These advanced controllers retain the remappable shoulder buttons present on the 2C, incorporating additional back buttons from the original Ultimate series. Notable enhancements in these newer models include an upgrade from Hall Effect to TMR electromagnetic joysticks, the introduction of adjustable trigger locks, and several other significant quality-of-life improvements.
The standard 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller is offered in a variety of colors. Furthermore, the first themed variant, the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Ultimate 2 Controller, was released on July 21st and is currently available on Amazon for $65.
According to Richard Wakeling`s review for GameSpot, Black Myth: Wukong excels particularly in its intricate and frequent boss encounters, often transitioning seamlessly from one to the next. While the combat itself and the diverse boss roster are highly praised, the segments between these major battles can occasionally feel less engaging and somewhat tedious. Nevertheless, the game`s compelling combat system largely compensates for these minor shortcomings.
