The win of Black Myth: Wukong as Ultimate Game of the Year at the U.K.'s Golden Joystick Awards highlights the power of public voting and its engaged fanbase.
Black Myth's success over established titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth indicates a cultural shift, summoning support from various demographics, including politically motivated groups.
Despite its popularity, Black Myth's reviews were not as strong as its competition, suggesting that fan enthusiasm can sometimes outweigh critical acclaim in awards voting.
The upcoming Game Awards will see Black Myth compete, but the public vote's limited impact raises questions about its potential success against a critic-driven selection.
