Games worth discovering
So after a week of playing this game casually, here's my updated review:
๐ Story: I just finished the main story (at least for this 1.0 version) and it's decent, nothing mind-blowing, and totally unfinished obviously. What irks me the most is the voice-acting, some characters have decent voice acting, but english female Rover just sounded weird and out of place sometimes. I know Jane Jackson worked hard on this, but it obviously could've been better, specially during the epic final boss fight cinematics, it was visually stunning, but her voice could use some more energy during that, it kinda bought down the epicness of that fight.
๐ Farming/Exploration/Side-quests: They're okay-ish, some are interesting, some would really just make you skip the dialougue. But overall, they're all rewarding and incentivizes exploration heavily, like unlocking beacons, and discovering side quests, and new echoes for your data bank. And navigating the environment is actually fun for the most part. Farming materials isn't that tedious, not to mention the energy limit is already 240/240 right of the bat without us doing any progress first, which is HIGHLY generous for a game like this. OVERALL rewards as you progress through the game and all the quests are abundant as well, not to mention their compensation everytime there's a reported issue.
๐น๏ธ Combat: I've played my fair share of action RPGs, both free to play Gachas and actual paid Triple A titles, and the combat here is good enough for the genre. It's not complex but it's engaging enough to be fun, specially if you don't have maxed out characters which makes combat more engaging and rewarding. You can pretty much use literally anyone as your main dps, a side dpsย and the support that provide shields and heals, just build them correctly, read how their skill works, and you're good to go, doesn't matter much if they're 5stars or 4stars, as long as you know how to use them, not just mashing the attack button.
๐ฌ Bugs/Glitches/Connection Issues: During the release, it was obvious that the game was pretty unoptimized both PC and specially mobile, although I didn't experience that much issues myself. As of today, there's still a lot of environmental glitches although they pretty much fixed most of them. Graphics are still stunning and they didn't compromise any of that, but it's still unoptimized for some devices, frame stutters are still there but it's better now, and so far I don't experience any more issues on the PC version. I've heard heating issue is still a problem, but let's be honest, it's still a case-by-case issue and not just on the developer's end. Ping used to be 70-100, now it's just 30-70, both PC and mobile.
๐ Overall, it's a decent open-world Action RPG gacha, with the most stunning visuals and decent combat in the genre. It's also mostly single player with optional co-op, so for me there's no "being left behind" pressure and I didn't need to rush things as there's literally no competition, and I really prioritize playing at my own pace.
And hey, thanks for reading!

Revised Review: Pretty Yet Janky
๏ปฟThe game starts you in a fantasy setting with a small story scene then a tutorial story battle with no auto, you end up auto walking a lot after meeting the main villain! And autoing story to side missions untill you get to your first city/kingdom to be Cinematic. Which takes a fair bit of time leaving you asking when is the tutorial going to stop? ๐ฅ
This drains interest and stifles exploration, the game feels rushed yet dragged on at the beginning with a bunch of coincidence that lead you into the next section of overly convenient story. ๐

Man I dont know about this one .
๐ Storyline: tbh not even sure there is one in this game , everything is so muddled up where the start of the game scene is actually like in season 2 lol and then you have a boss fight in the park where its supposed to be the crab man but instead you have a massive transgender dude in a thong and has a whip and in high heels no less (oh dudes completely pink as well)............?????

Me personally, I enjoyed the game and that is the main point of playing the game most of the things about this game is nice and far exceeded my expectations it's just satisfying in combat I love it and most importantly it's a new released game and I believe it will be an amazing game it's obvious. And there is one more thing that I am seeing lot of people doing is comparing games to Genshin?? why what's the point it's a 3+year old game and this is newly released even genshin was buggy and not upto the mark before and the developer of Wuthering Waves is KuroGames who made such an OG game Punishing Gray Raven and they did so well on this open world game which is not their forte. And THE MAIN THING KuroGames listen to their community and improving the game day by day (rewards as well) which Genshin never did that and story progression is so slow as fck

Exactly, I tried to play Genshin before back when it was newly released, it never really hooked me even though it was really a one of a kind open world f2p Gacha game back then. I never made any comparisons in this post and I really don't intend to, or even mention it because I'm really tired of these comparisons. But to be fair, it can't be avoided due to the similarities. I never played Genshin that much but I'm not really gonna join the hate circus just because I love WuWa. I'll just play and enjoy this at my own pace and stay away from the toxic side of the community of both games.

- The story is average. Just like you said, it's nothing mind-blowing but nothing to exaggerate about either. Still a story I'd prefer more than the one in GenshiT with no shed of seriousness in it and the infant characters are 24/7 screaming on your screen. And voice acting part shouldn't be addressed in the story point of this review. - The farming & exploration aspect is good, not bad. I think GenshiT has a more entertaining influence in this field, solely due to the fact the game is 3+ years old and has more contents than WuWa to keep people entertained. However, when it comes it comes to visuals & environmental beauty, WuWa does it way better. In fact, this was one of the few things that made me want to wait for WuWa after seeing it's trailer for the first time. - The combat is just "good" ? Are you kidding me? Can you point me out another open world game for mobile which has a more fast-paced and exciting combat than WuWa? The only other single player open world game available for mobile right now is GenshiT Impact, and the combat there is lame AF. Having a cool combat is the biggest strength of WuWa that has drawn many attention towards it. It's just like PGR but as open world this time. - I don't know about any bugs because I have never experienced any even before the fix. I didn't find any bug in Solo Leveling Arise either before global release. People tend to complain about stuffs when their devices cannot handle the spec requirements of a game. And a lot of people don't even know WuWa is actually quite a spec heavy game whose minimum requirements is Snapdragon 835 and the recommended is Snap 8 Gen 1 , 2 and 3 . But of course it was nice enough for Kuro to listen to problems their user base was facing and deal with it promptly, something which MiHoYo would never do.

Author likedI just want to make it clear this is my opinion, not attacking the game, nor an indicative of the actual quality of the game. Now then: My apologies for including the VA in the story aspect, it was something that I felt including since you really can't here her speak other than the story. Yes, totally I agree with the exploration and graphics, such a beautiful looking game, stunning as I said in the post. About the combat, I stand by what I said, because like I said, I've played countless open world ARPG before, not just f2p gacha games, and I've experienced a lot of ARPG combat style already, that's why I said it was decent. BUT if you compared it ONLY to the f2p gacha games of its kind, then IT'S EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT compared to them. No arguing about that. So I'm sorry if I somehow offended your experience. I also didn't play Genshin extensively, that's why I never mention it at all, as I have no valid comparison to make that would base on my experience. Anyway, thanks for the response! About the bugs, I rarely experience any as I play from a SD8+ Gen1 device, and a PC with RTX2060, but I was speaking from an objective standpoint, sadly, the game isn't still that optimized for mid-range devices, that's a fact. But Kuro has been fixing it and they're doing a phenomenal job at that.
