A game that so desperately wants to outshine its competitors, yet underperforms in most regards.

While so far having a superior combat and traversal system compared to games like Genshin Impact, it currently sorely lacks the charm and vivacity in its world, narrative, and characters to keep me engaged. Wuthering Waves has the potential to rival some of the biggest open-world gacha games on the market, but with a poorly optimized launch and a mediocre roster of characters, its margins for success are unfortunately slim.
