I don't know Black Myth so this is a rather one-sided comparison, but Black Myth is a souls-like and this one is not. Also, judging by screenshots, Black Myth seems to be rather dark and color-less, while this one is bright and colorful. And you're fighting more traditional monsters is Black Myth, while this one has you fight robots.

I would also ASSUME that Black Myth isn't quite as linear as this one -- Enslaved feels rather "on rails", even having points of no return within levels.

As the story goes, the rather special thing on this one is that it's basically a gigantic escort mission (but one that works -- your partner doesn't just charge ahead). Shortly into the game she puts a headband on you that will kill you if she dies... or presses "the button", of course. She wants you to help her get home, and will set you free then.
Hence the title. I always felt this was a very good way to have two complete strangers suddenly team up for no apparent reason.

As for lore, this one is a post-apocalyptic world where only few humans survived, and there are still active war machines "because nobody told them the war was over".

I don't know why you're trying to compare these two, but they are likely very different games.

The only true gameplay similarity is that you wield a staff in combat. Beyond this, they are very different in terms of length, combat style, and player choice. Enslaved is a 10 hour linear Uncharted-style title whereas Wukong is a 30-60 hour action RPG.

Enslaved displays only superficial references to Journey to the West. There is a Monkey-like character, a pig-like character and a person named Tripitaka; there is an arduous journey; Monkey is initially resentful but develops along the way... and that's about it. You'll find that the Buddhist and Taoist themes are largely absent (unless you interpret the story in a specific way) and are replaced by Western-style romance and determination. The quest for enlightenment is replaced by a theme which I can't disclose as it is a spoiler. By contrast, Wukong is far more closely and expansively aligned with the novel's universe and lore.

Both titles are well worth playing, even if Wukong is simply a much more sophisticated game. Here it's more about the dynamic between the characters and the joy of monkeying around in well-designed levels.

It may seem that way but the subject overlap is there. I was curious about this too. Two games' connection may not be apparent to a westerner who isnt familiar with the story of son wukong from journey to the west.

They're completely different games. The only thing they have in common are they are both inspired by Journey to the West. They're just telling the story in different ways much like how Dragonball is literally based on Journey to the West. The more you know.

Thank you for clearing up the differences :)
