I "Beat" Wuthering Waves: Here is My Review of 1.0

[@Lumiphatom]

I've said this alot on reddit. Alot people FOMO'd and burnt all of their resources trying to clear end game as soon as possible. When they figured out they didnt have enough resources at UL35, people complained. Its almost as though people forgot what a gacha game was and its a marathon, not a sprint. Especially, the fact that you can do up to Holo difficultly 5 without whaling in the game. We need a console release asap though.

[@zap7737]

yeah, the lack of self awareness by some of these people, is astounding. Also reddit is a cesspool and should only ever be laughed at.

[@LUCAS420BLZ]

I login and have still enjoy farming because it's not something I made mandatory the game hasn't made itself impossible to me, if I desperately want to get better damage against holograms it'll ruin the overworld where fights will be too easy and it'll just make it boring for me I like the grind and working towards a goal Outside of the echo farming Data bank level 23 is guaranteed 5 star but the drop chance never changes I hope in 1.1 you can turn echoes into tuners in some way in the future

[@maheee]

[@xlightninghawk6360]

okay, and who said that gacha games NEED a stamina system? can just remove it, they still have gacha, you dont need the shitty stamina

[@Money.D.Sensei-Boy]

This is the best take I’ve ever seen. Here’s basically my experience with Wuthering Waves. My biggest concerns with Wuthering Waves is because the four-star weapons are very limited with what’s good. If your F2P and have horrible luck on Gacha, you are essentially gonna get screwed over. Especially in the later stages. Like I used a four star weapon on my Jiyan. The difference between the four star weapon and when I got his signature weeks later, is like night and day it’s very shocking in a good way cause you feel good that you got the weapon and it’s so much better. But when you step back and really take a look. It’s also very worrying at the same time. Because especially for the tougher bosses, you will struggle with it for quite a while. Yes a large part of it is skills, knowing the combos dodging all that stuff which is fine. But as a mobile player who can’t afford a PC due to how expensive parts are. It’s not easy, it’s like every time I dodge my character doesn’t or its delayed and the bosses are able to hit me and sometimes I time it perfectly but get hit with the second attack from the combo because of Latency. but When you combine the issues with Latency in combination with the horrible camera controls on mobile and how even with lock on it's not always perfect. It’s extremely Frustrating. Echo exp is also a big thing as well because even if you have the skills. If your echos aren’t good and levelled up. you do notice the difference in power. Overall, I’d probably give the game a 6. It has the bare bone structure to be good and I will stick with Wuthering Waves. But especially for me because I’m on mobile there’s still so many issues. It’s not fun to play especially every day. Especially as I get closer to 40. I think I’m only 3000 experience away. If I do my dailies today and a few bosses, I’ll level up. But I don’t wanna do it Because I don’t feel I’m ready. I’m still trying to get used to the combat. But to my credit, The fact I’m almost union level 40 I think speaks volumes to what I’ve already been able to achieve, especially because combat systems like wuthering Waves tend not to be my favourite when it comes to mobile. So the fact that Wuthering Waves did it in a way where I find it entertaining I think it’s a good thing. But I do worry for the games future because it’s had such a rocky Start that if 1.1 doesn’t nail it home. They’re going to lose a lot of players and mobile players especially because if they don’t receive the optimizations they need to play the game. Wuthering Waves effectively could lose a huge part of their player base. This game was clearly designed with PC in mind not really with mobile and it shows with the performance/optimization issues.

[@vtankz3517]

Not to sound disrespectful but man you've been speed running content like crazy, even re rolling for hours an avg player won't have the same amount of progress as you do, by the time they reach that threshold a new patch will be out and they'll have even more to do, like 1.1 is only like 2 weeks away, just saying not everyone grinds games especially gacha games like you do.

Just it takes quite some time before one build teams that way too due to.. waveplates but eventually. I'm getting burned out on games with waveplates/resin and this game, while it was more generous than genshin we are now at the point where it's pretty samey. Also I'm getting burned out on these games. I just want new characters but I'm not willing or even capable of paying 200 euros for every character. Yeah no bonuses or 100% winning. It could even be more expensive if one fails every 50/50.

[@FarisGC]

The biggest issue for me is the performance. I get a ton of stuttering, especially in the open world, it's really not optimized well. I tried a ton of things to fix it, I ran on the lowest settings, I disabled DLSS, I added some entries to the engine.ini file, and nothing helps the stuttering. I really hope they fix the performance because Genshin, HSR, and ZZZ all run flawlessly on my machine, and if this experience continues for me, I don't know if I'll keep playing the game long term.

Well I'm not playing the game like genshin, I have hundreds of hours in genshin and basically my routine strat was spam buttons and win In this game if you only spam and don't react to the scrub mobs you'll take damage and blame the game for not being patient However if the issue is making the indicator more visible then I'm all for it especially on mobile it'd be better if there was an option to make the screen tint or flash the edge if you're about to be shot at so you can dodge

[@Stormtide]

yeah its a lot like honkai 3rd tbh and that was my favourite mihoyo game. huge fan of the fact that wuthering waves has something somewhat similar, it makes characters so much more interesting to play than just popping a few abilities for each character (plus every character having elemental basic attacks makes it even better).

[@drantino]

one thing ive noticed when it comes with parrying windows is that its hitbox accurate with vary fast moving enemys as the same hitbox as the damage would land. the main issue why it can feel vary bad is there isnt any priority over parry or not parry in such a small window that ping can effect if it is part of it. some games create extra hitbox with all the attacks as a extra window to solve this, this is actually the case in breath of the wilds flurry rush system, holy hell is that flurry rush hitbox huge. well others give priority. so one thing that ive found out about illusive realm is when trying to get the have the final upgrade for the turtle echo, glacio is actually the lowest count of metaphors in the game mode at 39. ive had 5 fully completed max difficulty runs of literally unable to get 32 glacio because enough didnt show up, hell 3 of those runs the final shop didnt even have a single glacio metaphor left.

[@MyLovelyForm]

combat is client side so technically there 0 lag, if u dodge something and u got hit that means you did it too late or too soon unless theres some weird bugs if u do multiple things at once, so yeah its actually skill issue if u die in this game unless theres a very low chance to be a weird bug or not enough dmg to finish the fight in time

[@zackang4731]

Just to point out.. Combat SHOULD be client side. But technically we won't know unless we see the code or we do some specific and difficult to control experiments to test it As someone who worked in quality assurance, I can confidently say that there will always be devs who don't design stuff properly, and testers/QAs who didn't spot such poor design problems because they tested in ideal conditions, or won't recognise the problem for what it is.

I feel the map is not memorable.. for example there are numerous iconic places in Genshin like windrise, the liyue harbour, jade chamber, tartarasuna, shogen's big japanese castle.. port ormos, avidya forest and the vanarana, the whole desert... Like when i go to these places i can remember the landscape and places I've explored but here the only places that have had any significance is jinzhou city which makes sense it's the city, the village where we met scar and the battlefield other than that nothing.. i know it could be because the game is new but i don't feel any connection at all.. and i agree the reason why Genshin exploration is so fun for me is because i can scout out all the chests while flying.. turn around and expect a challenge but in wuwa it doesn't feel intuitive at all as of now.

The grapple timeout is apparently ignored on desktop (based on recordings I've watched), and so some sonance caskets are out of reach. * Shooting games are im-freakin'-possible. Might be possible with a controller, and I have one around here somewhere…. * Cruisefly game also, though control's a bit better. Some of the overdash challenges I've been able to do, some not.

Exploration is much more easier and fluid in WuWa, im actually so done with how annoying Genshin's exploration is.

And the forte circut point is one ive seen kinda slept on for how much more it opens the game, like sanhuas forte gauge which is usable any time she wants as long as you can time it, or the ways they can influence your other abilities. It almost acts like a 3rd ability to use and i cant wait to see how the devs explore it to give more depth to other charatcers.

I love that this game has a skill based part to it. It is super fun and I love it. Tho since this is a gacha, at some point that won't matter. When u lvl up, u will be able to just spam atks and win. I rly hope that they will add some weird bosses that force u to use ur skill. While yes there are hard bosses in the game, but they can be easily spammed after a certain time. U just need to lvl up.

Personally I was looking for a bit of a shorter review and opinion based. I don't really want to learn about the game systems until after I decide I want to play it.

[@blackrain3715]

Mobile player here, but going to switch to PC. Hopefully it releases soon for PS5 as I'd play the hell out of it there. However, each time I load it on my phone a few seconds later I STILL have the connection issues. I have the S23 Ultra, it plays other games flawlessly. Genshin, HI3, PGR, HSR but this game? It'd be phenomenal if I could go at least ten minutes without the game crashing with connection issues. Settings are all on low at that too. I just don't understand how this games optimization is terrible for mobile players. It happens on cellular data and Wi-Fi. I want to enjoy the game, and I do when there aren't issues, but as of now it's more frustrating to play than anything.

I think it was extremely unfair to compare a 1.0 release of a gacha game to a 4.7 version of its competitor. You should have compared it to the original release of Genshin. In my opinion, there are a lot of things better about Wuwa than the original version of GI. I remember when 1.0 launched, I ran out of stuff to do in a day in a half of just grinding it out. Over 100 hours into Wuthering Waves at UL 46, and I still have a little bit of map exploration to finish, the cooking to max out, builds to work on, echoes to farm.. there's plenty to do besides just the tower. If you personally feel like you're "done," then that's a you problem. I'm going to keep working on my builds for an hour or so a day until 1.1 launches, and that's enough content for me in a gacha game launch after 100 hours of play. It was even more stupid to compare a mobile game to God of War. Almost seems like trolling. Yeah, it was designed for MOBILE. And for what it is, it's one of the best ever made.

This deserves more likes lol , well said

Yes you do because someone isn’t playing Genshin 1.0 when they login they’re playing 4.7

[@younge2273]

No because Wuwa has had 3+ years to take from Genshin, which it does worse in some aspects which is not good

[@lemayotv]

Tash compared the voice acting to GoW. Most games would fall short to GoW in this respect, but I don't think it has anything to do with it being a mobile game. If anything Kuro has waaay more budget for this game compared to a one time purchase game like GoW, it just shows that the English VA director didn't do a good job or Kuro as a company didn't care enough for the English voice acting

[@xorphz]

@@younge2273 Why would their 1.0 be on the level of Genshin's 4.7? Do you think their game was created this year? How do game development cycles work?

amazing review, i agree with the game not feeling finished but i am very optimistic abt the future of the game. if they continue to take player feedback this game can possible be one of if not the best gacha game oat‼️

[@ianzalcberg]

People need to stop defending the shitty and exploitative practices of gacha "games" This game will always be a 2/10 when it has the bones to easily become a 9 or 10 simply through scrapping the resource gating and time gating through the exponentially increasing materials required and the energy system. The game play is fun but the loop, like every gacha game boils down to just log in every day for 15 minutes.

[@akmalahmad2365]

I always trust Mtashed for his review. His review is very good, and echo with what I have in mind. No pun intended.

[@louemrick1609]

i was excited that i could farm echoes endlessly. The fact i cant level them unless i burn ALL my waveplates on farming echo xp is infuriating. I thought it was gonna be like genshin, but better because you could min/max easier. Turns out, they make it worse because leveling echos take all you waveplates away from doing anything else. guess im gonna give ZZZ a shot and hope its better.

Further into this great video, and can say it has gotten a lot better on the ohone, as I can hardly play it on my laptop that runs genshin impact just fine. But I can play it on the phone. I have issues with Solo Leveling Arise too on my laptop, but not on the phone.

Are you going to tell me the casual Vtuber Hexfire cleared more of the Tower of Adversity than The competitive natured Mtashed o.0. I'd suggest you watch her latest video on 2 person teams. It already goes against your: You can about 2 teams up and running from the starting resources. And i believe it is the better advice by far. I myself am currently trying to get my chixia up to lvl 70 and take the static mist pistol from the union lvl 45 box too see if i too can beat the holographic bosses like another content creator. And hopefully get the dps too beat the Tower of Adversity bosses with her aswell ;)

[@Soparandom]

Sir Not to be a dragged but it's easier to make end game for turn based rpg to live action rpg. As there are only 3 to 4 actions that can be taken and accounted to.

[@CyborgNinjaJesus]

26:40 This echoes my sentiment, but I have a big issue with how Kuro games has decided to balance the game that has me worried they might want to steer it more into a Genshin like rotation style, and it is the outro skill changes from CBT to release. Now, on the 1.0, outro skill buffs disappear when the character is swapped out of combat, this is a direct discouragement of animation cancelling that I honestly don't understand. I can now see that I'm not the only one that loves combat because of the animation cancelling, I think it's precisely what makes it stand out from other games, and I would like for Kuro to reconsider changing the outro skills to stay on the character even if it's swapped out. It's not a big deal, I know, but as an example, if that was allowed Taoqi could be a very viable support for Yinlin teams, providing Yinlin's off field damage (resonance skill damage) a big boost.

[@noob_jr_2sjrkc]

I give the exploration more credit because the fluid fast movement combined with QOL updates such as NOT HAVING TO PICK UP ITEMS and being able to SKIP DIALOGUE are massive. Genshin feels sluggish as hell by comparison. The actual challenges for chests also provide far more meaningful gameplay than Genshin's throughout most of its first regions. Puzzles might be easy, but still require MAKING CHOICES as opposed to simply performing a sequence of steps. Platforming challenges sometimes present hard versions where you have to combine mechanics like air dashes and the free grapple. If they keep embracing actual gameplay and evolve these challenges like Genshin slightly did with theirs, the later regions will be great. Heck, the only reason I was disappointed with the Overdash event is because they DIDN'T use the platforming mechanics like that, and instead made brainless push-the-button courses.

[@blastingpew]

they need to allow us to lvl up echos with lvl 0 echos cuz i have alot of useless echos that i cant use or use them to lvl others up and i am at a point where i have good echos for all my characters so i dont need to get more so even i dont need them to put them in the blender thing that give you a different ones and also i cant use them to level others up so whats the poing of them ?

Damn bro, you didnt jam out to the music in the final fight in act 6? The music for the Inferno Rider (a repeatable world boss ffs) is also great. I'm sure there are more but I usually adhd my way onto my 2nd monitor while I'm spending my daily waveplates lol

[@artemshenev7422]

I don't want to upset you, but there really is no catchy music in the game, the two that you named and that's probably it. And even these two reflect little in themselves, except that they are cool tracks. I think that's what he meant.

[@IamHolou]

if they make a big content patch inproving and adding to the content they already have, then i think this game will be top tier. i like it so far but we need more interesting maps, more elusive realm, more bosses to fight (or boss modes) and more tower content. Some quests would be nice too but not as important imo

[@PaulHofreiter]

No offense but the last half of that review sounded like a review for other streamers and people who have the luxury of playing this game for 8 hours a day than the normal person who plays during their free time (i.e. 99% of players). I would say I am on the hard core spectrum but I only get 3-4 hours a night to play and sometimes I have to play HSR instead, sometimes on the weekend or earlyier in the evening I’m playing FFXIV with my daughter etc. I’m union lvl 43 with two teams at lvl 70 but I still have some nooks and crannies of the map to explore and a majority of side quests unfinished. To say there isn’t a reasonable amount of content is just a really different, and you could say “privileged” perspective that really doesn’t apply to virtually anyone unless it’s your job to play the game (streamers) or people who make it their (unpaid) job. There is basically no satisfying that and I think it’s very unreasonable in a general review. The rest I do agree with and *as a gacha* I would give this a 7-8 as a 1.0 launch product. I think 6 is too low as that is slightly above average, and this game passes “slightly” above average. I think it could have been an 8-9 if they didn’t dumb down their story due to bad CN beta players suggestions. I played CBT1 so I know the original story, and if that were refined instead of thrown away I am almost certain we wouldn’t have as many early story complaints. I am a launch PGR player so I know what Kuro is capable of with a good story and it seems like they lost their way over responding to sensitive “I want to be special” crybabies. They also toned down the difficulty and I personally don’t like that but I understand this needs to be a mass appeal product so can’t blame them as much there. Most of what you said in the first half/first 2/3 if the me review I almost totally agreed with so really just taking issue with saying there isn’t enough content, since you really are the 1% here who can actually play so much that you exhausted *everything* the game offers already.

100% agree with the stories, and I am a story person, that's the primary reason I play these games. Star Rail has the most amazing stories. But Genshin Impact has many great episodes, and character stories. I get you will dislike them, as many has little fight in them. But I enjoy them tremendously. I have also enjoy Wuthering Waves character stories, and the main story has for the most part been fine to good.

[@free_manipur_from_india]

7? Its 4 at best.

[@imjustlikedenji5954]

On the timegated take, honestly, I kinda agree The thing that I absolutely hated about Genshin personally is how slow progression has gotten, I. AM. NOT. INTERESTED. Okay...? NOT INTERESTED in grinding the thundering fury domain for a SINGLE piece that I need, MORE months than I have And moreover, I also hated getting new characters that were simply not usable, I don't got that kinda time man... I'll definitely beware of this, try a different approach to not get bored, it's valid criticism. At the very least, it would be cool to have ways to progress in other ways than waiting for serum. Beating challenges in exchange for energy would actually probably work. Not directly maybe, but through like a shop, so it's not as if they encourage you to play more. Either limit the amount you can get or the time until it expires. I think that would satisfy most people who just want to keep progressing and min-maxing while also giving content that may be fun with friends.

[@jamesinnersky]

Amazing review, very fair, in details, no shilling or hating. I personally enjoy and want WW to succeed, but in my opinion for WW to succeed it needs to become its own thing and stop trying to copy Genshin and their systems. I can feel too much Genshin in current state of the game. Events are way too casual and easy, they killed OG storyline with dark setting and made everyone simping for Rover. I had enough of this stuff in Genshin. WW's combat system surely is way way better, but they need to put work for the game to become truly unique and good. For now it lacks personality a bit. And of course there's even more important issues such as optimization barely existing.

[@NotAHoyoSlave]

Cuz the graphics in WuWa are more realistic while in genshin its almost like roblox cartoons😂

[@illpinecone]

I think your feedback is all reasonable but I still think you didn’t quite fairly rate its amount of content. I mean how many triple AAA games have like what 1-200 meaningful hours of progression and content on day 1? Its not just that you blew through it playing 15 hours a day, its that it even has that much at all. Most FULL priced games are lucky to have 50-60 hours of meaningful gameplay. We’re basically asking the devs to do the impossible and make a never ending game with infinite time sink. There is a ton to do so at least in that regard i can’t totally agree on your point. Other stuff like music or performance yah I think those are valid.

[@MTashed]

30-40 highly engaging hours of a AAA game like Ghost of Tsushima is not the same as randomly opening Chest around the world to slowly level my world tier.

[@illpinecone]

@@MTashed That's a good point I'll give you that. For me I've still felt that totality of progression is a net positive so I still can't personally give wuwa too much of a knock in that department. Always appreciate your honest and genuine reviews though mr tash so I hope you keep covering the game and enjoying all the future updates!
