THE TRUTH!!! ZENLESS ZONE ZERO EARLY GAME REVIEW

#ZZZ #ZenlessZoneZero
Zenless Zone Zero has released this is an early game review to tell you the truth is it worth your time what is good about the game and what is an issue
#ZZZ #ZenlessZoneZero

[@bigfootisreal_]

The game will be chilling next to Arknight or maybe Hi3 in terms or revenue after first patch. But I'd say its overhated and overhyped at the same time by 2 different groups. I blame hoyo for this, because they promoted it as combat focused game with a high skill sealing when its not. Its a casual, feel-good game for casuals to button mash and make them feel like they are good at the game.

[@GambaAJ]

yeah on top of that to market it on the same day as WuWa 1.1 to try to combat them was a mistake

[@exu7325]

The game is only "overhated" (whatever that's supposed to mean) precisely because it was overhyped.

[@RadiantAnya]

I actually like the tv system because it gives the game a kind of DND vibe

[@GambaAJ]

I'm glad you like it that's why I want to engage with the community to see the different opinions

[@Danjiano]

It kinda reminds me of Darkest Dungeon

[@Danjiano]

@@RadiantAnya Darkest Dungeon is a gothic roguelike turn-based RPG. Movement in the first Darkest Dungeon reminds me of TV-mode in ZZZ. Look up Darkest Dungeon Maps and you might see how it's superficially similar.

[@animeforever1962]

Zenless has a pretty popular release and the reviews across the board seem pretty good. I like ZZZ and I don't find the TV system boring at all. I think all the popular Gachas out right now bring something fun to the table including ZZZ. I honestly don't doubt that this will be another hit for Hoyo.

[@a4arick106]

coming from someone who spend 5 hours in the game, felt like it would become a hit down rather than a hit up. but the design is cool enough for me to enjoy it

[@anon1539]

i feel the same way, especially regarding the tv system. Having played in the cbt2/3 i globally understand the way it works and find it more amusing than how i initially felt about it. In my opinion, i think the more you play, the better it gets, unlike genshin that gets less amusing with time. (friendly reminder, it’s my opinion, coming from a long term and diehard hi3 player)

[@Sirnaghost]

I played this game for like 4 hour. The TV simulation was main reason to unstall this game . I agree with your point combat feels basic its more of switching characters. And my question is why we cant se our pulled character in outside of the combat mode . This game is 50+ gb on pc and this is a zone based game by the way. PGR also a zone based game and its half of the this game size . But the character dilogue and story are really good ❤

[@nanakomatsu7425]

You date your characters, what do you mean? You even hire them on your shop! You just need to raise their friendship by doing quests and event quests with them (some of them get unlocked only after interacting with specific shops that they like/use to visit, for example Billy like gaming, so it's the arcade thing, Nicole is very likely to spawn next to food and gacha, Anby may spawn in isolated places, but occasionally on music-related places, very rarely next to the ramen one, that bear that I didn't want spawn almost at every shop except gaming raleted ones, but he is on a daily basis or almost at buying drinks on the second area, if you are looking for him and fail to trigger his events due to Nicole spawning in his place, that blue oni or something girl like ice cream, so she spawn next to the three bangboo and she stare at the refrigerator at their side), and you can choose to message them asking for a date, getting more friendship. You even see characters that you don't own on the world, occassionally (some spawn more frequently on certain areas according to their taste, appearence and roles). Btw, I love the combat, but I hate the TV as well, after rank 30 it becomes a pain, it start to alternate very easy puzzles to nightmares that never ends (they are not hard, but they are long to complete since you have to explore the whole map to check all the points of your commission). If you want to see your characters, you need to increase your rank, otherwise this will never happen (except maybe for the character on the event banner, that kept appearing everywhere for me, but many it happen because she attend school and there are a lot of npc doing the same next and inside our shop and in fact you can interact with her group of friends and her, even if you don't own her).

All the hate on zzz was so shocking to me. Even more when i saw people mentioning wuwa (a game thats first impression on me was so bad that i dropped it, heard its good now but its just not my cup of tea) Ive enjoyed the game a lot so far, got absorbed by the game for like 4 hours after launch. The story, combat and characters all dragged me in deep. The tv system was pretty ok, i like how most of them mix with combat and the ones that were full puzzle based were pretty nice. Overall the game had a really good impression on me and im still having fun to this moment. Def not a main game ofc, its a really good side game though. Ig going in not as a wuwa fan helped me out here lol

[@GambaAJ]

Truee

[@eyesofdeathperception6730]

Sorry, but its very clear that many of the people aren't criticizing this game fairly. The only valid argument I've heard has to be the basic combat. Other then that, everything else sounds incredibly goofy to me. Here are some common criticisms. 1. I don't want to play as a bunch of furries. You mean the only 2 playable furries in the game? You guys act as if majority of the roster contained furries. 2. So many lolis-! If you're a crying purist, sure. But there honestly shouldn't be a problem here.. 3. The TV sucks! I think a lot of people doesn't understand that this is a drastically different game with an entirely different goal here. This game isn’t open to the boring open world games.

[@GambaAJ]

Yeah that's why I try to give my early review a fair chance and just based on the gameplay only

[@nanakomatsu7425]

My complain is about TV, but combat is not like people keep saying, they probably can't read, otherwise they knew that it's not pressing one button, unlike certain other games, like WuWa, which literally have an entire class playable with one key and it's the one with the guns (and a lot of other characters can still be played in the same way and the game is on a permanent tutoral and always show you when and how to parry, always giving you a lot of time to parry, anticipating it with a big slow circle and if this isn't enough your friends can kill stuff in your places and you can get the rewards without hitting anything). ZZZ is probably a game made to attract different players, included furries, but not all characters are furries (even if I don't agree with you, because in my eyes anything with animal or monster-like appearence can be considered a furry, so, I consider furries not only the two "pure animals", but everyone with animal ears, tails and monster-like appearance such as that sort of oni-loli). Loli are on any gacha and on almost all non-American-war-related games, and sometimes they are on them too, even if USA companies prefer to release games with men under steroids than with normal or cute girls... And ZZZ is different even on that, since despite there are girls, they are mostly not "cute" in the most stereotypical way. No one of the lolis flirt with you for what I know, and they aren't sexualized or extremely cute and innocent, even if it's supposed to come a faction with something like that, but they are like idols, so it make sense.

[@Geminosity]

Here's the thing, I don't like the TV system either, but I think it's only a symptom of a larger problem with the game: the flow. When I sit down to a game I like a fluid experience for the most part, and especially with a the 'main gameplay loop', so, using something like diablo or PSO as an example, I'd load into the game and have unbroken gameplay until I finish a whole area (or even longer) and even then the break is only for a loading screen or, if we're looking at something longer like a trip back to town, then that will also be a fluid experience and also considerably shorter than my gameplay experience in the 'main' loop of the game. In ZZZ the flow is broken constantly and it feels like I spend an insane amount more time out of combat in each play session than I spend in it. Each fight has a little intro, an outro (WIPEOUT!) to bookend it too so even if you somehow tried to fix it by just slamming the fights together in a conga line it'd be very stop-start because each would have to transition to their little arena and do these bits. But they're not... they're constantly separated by chunks of non-combat that are much, much longer. For most, they notice this with the TVs but I can't help but notice it's the Hub world stuff too where I have to go take photos of cats, drink coffee or some other mundane stuff between scenarios and unlike my example of going to town to sell stuff from the Diablo/PSO analogy, these aren't things that serve the main game loop, they're distinctly unrelated things that might have been given some meta connection to loosely excuse why they're there (coffee gives stamina and boost, cat photos... uh.... part of your daily missions I guess?) It's like the cafeteria from monster hunter where it's a one per mission sort of gimmick that's short enough to be inoffensive but strung out and amped up several times over. Also, this too is 'bitty' because it's not one central activity (like selling and getting quests can be nicely rounded out to one or two) but a pick and mix bag of many that breaks that into chunks too. TLDR: the 'main gameplay' of fighting is broken into tiny uneven chunks and the downtime between them is freaking massive.

When the new trailer dropped, it looked like the combat would be a strong point (basically a Honkai Impact with a more Japanese high school vibe). I thought the combat system would be good and complex. Oh gosh, I'm so disappointed.

[@nanakomatsu7425]

I'll tell you a secret: it's divided into tinier maps, but it's bigger than a lot of fake open world games... By ranking up you unluck a huge quantity of shop and various places, with their hidden quests, that sometimes you can trigger only by talking to strangers or after interacting with objects or hurted/malfunctioning bangboo. There are whole chain of quests about cats and bangboo... You need to well manage your days and your rest-time to trigger all of them, because when you no longer have regular quests, it become harder to properly alternate time and days and you can rest only once a day when it's not night. Some of them are not even marked as quests sometimes, but in fact they are, you just can't trigger it until some point or you did it before and it's a sort of hidden quest with an additional reward (like the one to get Inky as your pet, where you have to keep finding him and gain his trust, but after the story with Soldier 11, the game never tells you that it is a quest and you'll figure it out only when you get enough trust to adopt Inky, you get punished if you don't pay attention in this game because some things aren't going to be said twice).

Tbh, i dont think the game is that bad. Far from the best sure, but its sth u can hop on a few mins a day and beat. To improve the combat, tbh, i think they should just take a page out of HI3rd's book and add more mechanics per fight, especially for bosses. From something simple like freezing the active character if it stays out for too long like Parvati, or sth more complicated like managing the elemental resistance buildup of kevin. More cool boss concepts like the latest perception boss fight and the shadow screen things would be really cool as well. They've already done it b4, no reason why they shouldnt put it in the game to make it more engaging

​@@MerkMD WuWa is already a massive success it's the first Gacha game to ever dethrone Genshin in the Global revenue on mobile and mind you they were competing against Clorinde the most awaited character in Fontaine, though they didn't win the Chinese market however the global demographic seem to love the game this is why Kuro should stop bending their knees to the Chinese soyboys and just cater to the global players by hiring a competent localization team.

[@salty7182]

@@MerkMD nah, the reason they keep pushing out new games is because they realize genshin is getting old and start to lose the hype, they have no intention to improve genshin at this point and decided it's better to just slowly push the players to newer game.

bruv the game wasnt captivating from the minute i started it. Didnt get the same excitement like wuwa and hsr did. The graphics and animations are just gorgeous but idk why i feel like the chars feel and look soo kiddish? The combat feels so repetitive tbh constantly having the pop up to swap it was so annoying. I didnt get the fulfillment of the combos tbh. The UI looks so cluttered and confusing man, its not that im lazy to read or what not but the whole screen is filled with words and pop up menus that cant make u focused ffs. The tv wasnt that bad like ppl say but i know itll get seriously boring soon. i just dont see me investing or playing this in the long run. Feels like a honkai impact remake

[@GambaAJ]

Yeah I like HSR MORE

[@blankuser987]

yeah, I played for a few hours yesterday to give zzz a shot. There's a lot of mixed feelings I have. I like the character designs, the style, and the vibe this game has. Combat can be fun at times. But... I think the story is quite meh for me personally. The TV section is tedious (I can see why beta testers complained sm about it), and the game feels incredibly easy. Ended up deleting it because I just know I won't be sticking to it in the long-term. Maybe if ZZZ gets improved in the future I might return to it, but right now it's not entirely enjoyable enough for me to stick to it.

@@doedoel035 so it’s a system where you navigate through these Tv to progress through the story or other game modes like their Simulated universe if you have played honkai only much or boring and tedious and I can confirm there is more after playing still but give the game a try and let me know how you feel

[@RKNancy]

From what I can surmise, TV system is a bunch of puzzles you can do to progress the story, usually water pipe connect style puzzles, which are the worst type of puzzles to get through.

[@GambaAJ]

@@RKNancy Nancy this is an update as well after 7 hours and clearing act 1 there was more and I went to bad after I saw it again

[@nanakomatsu7425]

It's like a path that you pick to decrypt the area and get access to the place that you need to reach. It usually comes before combat, but some quests asks only to explore the area without having to join any combat. There is also a pvp system with bangboo that you unlock later during one of these quests, but I don't know how many times it will appear again, since it's a part of bangboo-related commissions about exploration. It was kinda boring... About the problem, that game is made in Unity and that engine just sucks, honestly there isn't much that you can do about it, since it's by default both harder to work with and heavy to run for any device. Ask to cloud gaming services to allow playing ZZZ on their servers, this would bypass the problem. Other than really standard thing that you probably already tried, such as closing other programs, try different version of your drivers and so on, I doubt you can do much about it... It's a common problem even in other games.

Idk combat seems simplistic but feels super smooth after i tried wuthering . Found WuWA to be incredibly bland and just dead of any color and life, whether it was through voices or just the environment in general just like every unreal engine game is barely ran 60 fps and just looked so samey, almost exactly like the first descendant. And holy the story and dialogue in the first few hours of WuWA was dead awful. TV system is okay depends how much it leans into it later on. I just feel like hoyo's worlds are so much more vibrant and lively. Will i play this game for a long time? Depends how the next few days agoes, but i genuinely will never understand how WuWa got as big as it did

I understand the point of this game, 80% TV simulator with a f*cking dialogue 10% Comics 5% Sleep 3% Combat 2% Spending with Belle You know Hoyoverse, when there are huge changes they're not generous enough to make everyone happy with the release. I have no hope for this game, a minor change will not change the fact that it is boring. You don't need to cope, bro I know you will quit on this game I bet. This type of game won't last 🥱. If you don't know, they dropped the development of ZZZ after the success of Genshin 2 years ago and decided to continue after star rail. They're not really into this type of genre, in CN they don't like furry humans, that's why Linyang in wuwa received a lot of criticism. CN also doesn't like how cartoonish it looks rather than anime style, it's a very westernized 3D cartoon. It's a failure, since they already have too many gacha, and the player base is looking forward mostly not only a good but also a change of phase game mechanics, I mean come on it's 2024.
