The journalistic salt is flowing over Black Myth Wukong getting a GOTY nomination.
Explanation
The statement implies that Black Myth: Wukong has received a nomination for the Game of the Year (GOTY) award, which is categorically false. Specifically, reports indicate that Black Myth: Wukong is not nominated for the GOTY at the Golden Joystick Awards. Furthermore, the game's reception is mixed, being rated in the low 80s on aggregating sites such as Metacritic and Opencritic. This suggests that the game has faced criticism, which could be tied to the phrase 'journalistic salt'—a colloquial term for criticism from writers or reviewers. However, the assertion about the nomination stands incorrect, as there's no evidence to support that it received any such recognition at this award level. As such, the statement should be classified as false because it misrepresents the game's status in relation to the GOTY nomination and creates a misleading narrative around its reception.
Key Points
- Black Myth: Wukong was not nominated for Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.
- The game has received mixed reviews, with ratings in the low 80s on major platforms.
