The verdict
A free, easy benchmark for checking your PC before buying. Its combat-free fly-through likely overstates real performance, so skip it if you want a true stress test.
Great for
Players checking whether their PC can run Black Myth: Wukong and tuning settings before buying
Main risk
Results come from a light, combat-free scene, so real gameplay FPS can be much lower
