不管你是不是游戏爱好者，这两天一定都被《黑神话：悟空》刷屏了。
自8月20日正式上线并开启全球发售，短短一天时间，国产单机游戏《黑神话：悟空》就全网霸屏。据报道，游戏在Steam平台的同时在线玩家数已荣登Steam热玩榜首位。这一成就，标志着中国游戏产业的内容质量和文化美学得到了全球玩家的认可和青睐。
A highly anticipated video game based on ancient Chinese literature classic was released worldwide on Tuesday, thrilling gamers around the world.
The game, Black Myth: Wukong, an action role-playing game developed by Shenzhen-headquartered Game Science, was inspired by the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology and the 16th-century seminal novel Journey to the West, one of the four great classic novels of Chinese literature. It is infused with traditional Chinese cultural elements, offering gamers a novel experience of Chinese imagination and landscape.
Black Myth: Wukong is already a top seller on multiple platforms, including Steam and WeGame, marking a new milestone for Chinese Triple-A games — those with high budgets and profiles produced and distributed by large, well-known publishers.
为什么称《黑神话：悟空》为“全村的第一个大学生”？
《黑神话：悟空》是第一款国产3A类动作角色扮演单机游戏，取材于中国“四大名著”之一的《西游记》小说，主要讲述《西游记》之后的故事。玩家在游戏中将扮演一位“天命人”，为了探寻昔日传说的真相，踏上一条充满危险与惊奇的西游之路。
The game is set against the backdrop of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.
After Tang Monk and his disciples successfully obtained Buddhist scriptures, Monkey King (Sun Wukong) was named Fighting Buddha and gradually vanished without a trace. The player, known as the Destined One, embarks on an epic journey to uncover the truth behind the legendary tale.
在游戏圈内，3A级别游戏代表着游戏制作的最高水准，一般指大厂制作的高成本、高体量、高质量的单机游戏。国内大厂多年来都没有做3A游戏，所以，由一家没什么大众知名度的小公司制作而出的《黑神话：悟空》在整个游戏产业和玩家圈心中，是被当成“全村的第一个大学生”来看待和呵护的。
中华传统文化的沉浸式体验
《黑神话：悟空》的故事背景设定在一个佛道体系崩塌的世界，轮回不再，前世今生的记忆纷纷回归。游戏中的主角“悟空”是玩家可以操作的角色，也是主线剧情的源头。除了传统的孙悟空角色外，游戏中还出现了其他经典角色，如四大天王、黑熊精、黄眉老怪等。
值得一提的是，游戏内以《西游记》原著的佛教背景为依托，运用顶尖的画面技术和丰富的细节对许多佛塔、寺庙等中式古建筑进行了高度的还原，将一个充满东方韵味的玄幻世界完美地呈现在游戏场景中。这体现了游戏主创团队对中华传统文化的尊重和传承，同时也为玩家提供了沉浸式的文化体验，在整体上提升了游戏的人文价值和艺术观赏性。这种文化与游戏的结合，也为中国文化在海外的传播开辟了新的途径。

《黑神话：悟空》利用中国场景元素打造了一个令人惊叹的梦幻景观，有荒凉的山脉、古道、山水亭台楼阁、沙漠和古庙。其灵感来自1986年的电视剧《西游记》以及电影导演周星驰的改编作品《大话西游》。
The various minor demons, demon kings, gods and Buddhas that appear in the game all feature Chinese aesthetics, forming a contemporary illustrated compendium of creatures from The Classic of Mountains and Seas, a major source of Chinese mythology.
《黑神话：悟空》深度挖掘《山海经》的神话内涵，对《山海经》元素进行创造性吸纳与转化，巧妙地将古老的神话故事与现代电子游戏的叙事手法紧密结合，创造出一个极具中国特色又满载奇幻色彩的游戏天地。
Additionally, the game features traditional Chinese instruments such as the guzheng, bowls, wooden clappers and gongs. Much of the music is composed using Chinese-style chord structures.
此外，游戏还配有古筝、碗、拍板和锣等中国传统乐器。大部分音乐都是使用中国风格的和弦结构创作的。
As the game combines ancient dialogue and a worldview that blends Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, players are immersed in an environment in which simply strolling leisurely or sitting alone by a cold river offers its own unique pleasure.
由于游戏结合了古老的对话和融合了儒家、佛教和道教的世界观，无论是悠闲地漫步或独自坐在冰冷的河边，玩家都能感受到独特的意境。
