Then let's wait for Azure Promilia then.

I can believe the frustrations that players have had with the game. I'm very much on a 7/10 only because 8 seems too high for me when the other 8-10/10s have set such a high bar. I really really like the game and personally like the TV system and lack of extensive exploration because I'm already balancing 3 other games that ask me to explore an open world. My only gripe is that the standard banner feels like a Weapon Banner. Remember that WuWa has the same character switch-for- more damage system - when u tag in another character they increase damage efficiency and is actually important for breaking the enemy's guard bar. Difference is that ZZZ really puts the need to switch in your face with the battle UI. WuWa is subtle.

My problem with ZZZ is that it has nothing to really offer players. Combat doesn't feel good with HP sponge enemies that don't attack you. Story is Mid at best as it's not bad, but not good either. TV's... nuff said... So what's left? Isn't that basically the entire game? Graphics can only go so far for a game, because it's best selling point is that it looks good. Also... How the hell was this game 50 gigs? It's not open world, they re-use locations, and most maps are pretty damn small.

This game's size on pc confuses me as well, dont know about the mobile situation. I can get get Genshin, wuwa and even star rail having large file sizes because of the open world and semi open world in those games, but ZZZ has basically nothing in it compared to those games that could make its size this big. For a game like ZZZ, Its file size shouldn't be this big right? For a 1.0 game it should be around 20-25 gb, 30gb at most maybe? Take a Game like PGR for example, it is similar to this game, but has more content in general (guild stuff, dorms, permanent big events, more game modes etc), with it being an older game, yet it still has a file size of 20 gb. What on earth did they do with ZZZ to make its file size this big? Even after being this big, it still needs to load every time i go to another area. its annoying to see a loading screen every time i try to get out of the store to go to the streets or the parking lot.

The big storage is definitely the pre-rendered videos and the comic style since those definitely are not in game scenes etc add that with animated NPC phones etc whatever things we don't see much as a player not unless we really look into it. So im still trying to play ZZZ lvl 28 and played the game "challenged mode" since the beginning thoughts given pretty much unlocked all the game mode from what i see: Combat: Flashy that's it especially the swap counter, and depending who's the char. you got it can be "fun" in terms of seeing flashy animation but given i got Soldier 11 my team comp. well...aren't flashy, 2 char. Soldier 11 and Anby almost has identical animation (basic attack,skills) and my last is Lucy and i like her design but gameplay wise she's just okay. TV: Hate it hurst my eyes especially when it statics. HUB: Mini-game, pretty much. Hard Content: Only in hollows (hate it cause TV) especially if you got yourself too many debuff but other than that, the game has too many safety net swap counter,dodge and 3 char. in combat theirs literally almost no risk and given its repetitive cause the bosses attack pattern is not that complicated making the combat much more very static/repetitive. The status effects etc are nice but its also one of safety nets of the combat, building a team with good stun/daze basically stuns lock the enemy easily which my team got and in terms on spongyness of the enemies, you can remove it but simply building a good team and good char. but the assist/QTE attack does definitely easily delete mobs so building a team with good daze/stun is pretty much a easy mode till if they nerf it so hard. That's pretty much my experience with the game, as for my opinion who is this game for combat wise, well definitely for casual of all casuals.

The fact that a side game has a bigger file size than wuwa

I personally love it alot. Yes the tvs in main story could be reduced a bit but otherwise it's fun as hell with doing the switch combos etc and finding a team that works for ya (I'm using Neko, Lucy and Piper Nd they work amazing together). Absolutely love all the inspiration it's taken from persona (from the UI, to the segmented days, the vibe of the hometown, working the video store and even entry to the hollows feels like entering tv in p4 for the shadow world. The ending screens are also pretty epic especially when your character has pulled off a cool finishing move and the camera shows diff angles of it and I absolutely love the comedy of the story- from Amby mentioning boss music, Billy failing superhero landing as everyone lands on her and Antons Shonen fight monolog with the mechanical "bro". ALSO ABSOLUTELY LOVE that Anton is based off of grown up Simon from Gurenn Lagann - he dresses similar, talks about his "bro" often and even uses drillbit weapon

The main problem that a lot of people don't seem to realize yet is the fact you can't appreciate (for a lack of better word) your characters in this game. In other gachas you can either use them in open world/instanced exploration or in the lobby with many different interactions. ZZZ has neither, you only see the characters in combat which is effect spamfest and in the upgrade screen which is like 2 animations standing. In a game where characters are main selling point this is very bad.

​@@Hikaru-Kamiki-Oshi-No-Ko Cope dude. Stix just said his opinion about the game.

I think with the emphasis on the lollies it's obvious to me that this game is directed towards a younger audience hopefully at least lol so with the simplicity of the combat and even the main characters looks/ages, I feel that this game has just not directed towards my demographic. However I could definitely see a bunch of middle schoolers early high schoolers loving it

The main story is all voiced, as are the character stories. The only parts that are not voiced are side stories. If you made it to part 2 I can verify that the enemies do not just stand there. By level 2 you need to build a 2nd team at least because if you try to fight through HIA content or the Hallow Core you need to have the characters who have the elements that are the enemies weakness or you will get wrecked. I think the story is deep. Lite? The world is wrecked by “Hallows” that can appear at anytime are full of dangers and people trapped in them turn into Monsters unless they have a resistance to it. Why are the hallows there? Who is responsible for them? That’s the whole point, is to go in and research it. Already contacted by some mysterious clients who hint at knowing much more about things we don’t know anything about. I agree it’s not a main game. Although I spent a bunch of hours on it already. But personally loving playing it. Just scratched the service of combat mechanics. Bangboos, weapon upgrades, skill upgrades, and we haven’t even uncovered the disc system yet (artifacts).

I loved the game; it's so much fast paced and its perfect for me I have already reached the outpost where real challenge start (SU of HSR or endgame), it's pretty fun because of same as HSR style where you get buffs and deal a lot of dmg rather than complex combat system this game offers fast battle system where synergy of team is important I grow up from Persona series or more like Shin Megami Tensei series, the vibe I get is so the same so, the TV thing really didn't bother me. The reason why Hoyo decide to use TV exploration is probably because in an open dungeon setting it would take too much time to clear the dungeon and it's so not for casuals like me. I cant say much about PGR since I have never touched the game, against HI3 I can say ZZZ is better than Hi3, what I really don't like about HI3 is the meta changes so fast than a blink of an eye and a lot of content are whale focus BTW I MLB Sakura on Nikke with 180 pulls and I want to brag it

It's just ok to me. My main problem is that the combat feels very lacking to me. It doesn't flip that go monkey mode fuse in my head.😅 And just a heads up to people i have the initial difficulty the games ask you to set at the start on hard.

imo stix summarzied it perfectly. there is no need to pay attention to the enemies, i seriously tried playing it with my eyes closed and it works. you just gotta listen to the sound cues when to block an attack and the rest is just smashing one button. your character moves towards the enemies automatically, they are staggered when you attack them (most of the time) and you dont have to dodge AOEs or ground targeting abilities whatsoever... i really want to like the game but the combat...

I am the opposite. I had high expectations and was disappointed. That said i am giving it another shot. Sometimes after time passes and you know what to expect from a game, both its strengths and weaknesses, you may actually find enjoyment and that is what happened with me. I have accepted it's just a visual novel style gacha with stylish characters to collect and flashy casual combat that makes you feel like you are godlike at the game.

Yup! I'm of the opinion that first impressions are important - but games continue to get better the more you play them. Whether you choose to invest time into them is up to you though! I've went back to games after quitting and found them more enjoyable the 2nd time around!

The game is not bad per se, but it is too simple and borderline boring at many points. It is way too casual for a game that expects you to hop in everyday to do stuff while spending more time reading than actually playing.

Was curious. Saw it dropped on PS5 about a week ago. The initial trailer looks good but I've got other games in my library to focus on over this lol

I think one thing that would be neat is if they add an attack you can use in response to a parry. That way you have a choice, swap or do an attack.

ZZZ is the definition of just meeting the standard. Combat is fun and simple if you just look at the surface then yes it would be really fun. But once you realized how limiting it is, especially as a so called "combat" focused game, it really makes it boring. As you said the switching of characters in combat is just forcing players to swap to this character or to that character. And yes people can just say "Oh just don't switch, wait for it to end", but IF we are to get much harder enemies which let's be honest is prob more hp, you lose the damage that you can do. Basically, you have no freedom on the combat. The "Parry". Let's be honest, it's just a fucking dodge, reason for that is you can literally dodge if you ran out of parry. It is still the same thing, the difference is you just lose damage. How does that make sense? The game will reward you for parrying a lot of attacks by depleting your parry bars, be unable to parry, just dodge as a substitute, and lose dps. Why, as a game, would punish the players for being able to do a mechanic THAT THE GAME HAS AND MAKE YOU DO LESS DAMAGE/DAZE. Also why is the parry auto? Why is it that a single input of parry block 3 fucking attacks. Why is that I can just press space as soon as I hear a sound que and it will auto dodge if it's unlockable or "parry" if I can. Why is it that I can just press parry and I parry the guy who is coming to attack me off screen. Heck I can even parry shit that is 10 feet away from me. It just gives you the illusion that "OH SHIT I PARRIED THOSE SHIT" while in truth, it was just the game. And I think that's what the game does, it lures you into thinking that this game has a good combat system with these animations and amazing sfx for the parry. Enemies, pls let's be fucking for real, it is not difficult. I saw fucking mr pokke play a rally commission he posted, saying that the fight was hard made him sweat or something, so I logged in to get to the fight he did. Did the fight, honestly, it was nothing special. Fight was just there. It felt like I was just fighting a bigger standard enemy. I wanted this game to be good, really, as a fucking gamer you'd want to play a good game but I just can't overlook the fact that the game is holding my hands in combat. I'd still play it yes, but would I play it if there are other games I can play? no. ZZZ is just a game you'd play if there are no other games to play. And let's be fr, a dev no matter how much they say that this game will be a on/off game, would still very much want to have a larger player base, larger profit, and consistent players. This game def need a lot of work if the devs really care and wants their game to be a success. But the improvement will be, I fear, minimum as their base/core mechanics are already limiting. This game would be much better off if they would just focus on the story, which I think is a hit or miss.(story is good but not amazing, but it's also 1.0 so maybe it will get better, amazing cutscenes and good music as well)

The parry being auto meant I got hit because I used to press space, took time until I figured that out lol. All things being said, combat is not as easy as you make it sound to be or you're still in the early levels. Enemies become more challenging and you have to increase the power of your characters and use everything the game tells you to use, so there's that. The problem is you have to do stuff that you probably won't like to get to that point of the game.

@@indefinite_rogue8668 The combat mechanic is def easy or made to be easy. Well I do see your point that it may get challenging. But the reason why I think the combat will be easy is cus of the basic mechanic of the game like parry with no effort. The more you get play the game the more you realized the parry is just reactive. No timing need just react as soon as you see the prompt. And I played the hazard zone and enemies just felt like bullet sponges (and that is with just lvled characters no proper build). You gotta understand the hard part right now for the game is just a dps check. And the funny thing is almost no one really has a build character yet. So the hard part is just temporary. The enemies felt like they were just simple? Like I said just a bigger sized enemy. The amount of enemies(different enemies) that I encountered that did the spin attack is just too much. I think that this will be just another hoyo game where the game will be hard but it's because you "haven't built your character properly" hard. And that's not a bad thing like I said ZZZ is like your standard game. Just don't expect a lot and you will def have fun. ZZZ really just hits the baseline of any game/gacha game, and I think that's ok. And I think that the more people get critical(not hate) about this game will be good to the game as it will lower the expectation for the game.

As I view it, if youre not hooked in after the tutorial phase you're not really going to enjoy the rest. People enjoy the game, but for most its not really for them.

I absolutely love the UI and the art style. I'l play it until they close the servers. The story is kind of interesting I am saving my pulls for Yanagi

I agree with you! I'm having fun with the game as well. It's a game where you enter stages and beat monsters, similar to PGR, HI3rd, and Solo Leveling. I really appreciate miHoYo's character design in their games, and I was also looking for a game in this style that is a bit easier. This way, I can enjoy some good time just beating enemies without the need to master dodges. I also play WuWa and PGR, so if I want more challenges (and stress), I can always turn to those games.

What ZZZ does different compared to the other games is the overall theme which they pulled off quite well in my opinion. There are just some character concepts and lore you won't find outside of this futuristic world and that alone makes it interesting with no need to compare it to games with similar gameplay. The world and theme just fits my personal taste way more so I'm quite enjoying it.

I really want to like it. The combat is good and the animations are amazing. But for me, that's all it's got going. Story is ok....characters are ok design wise...difficulty isn't high. It's definitely a game to only play on the side when WuWa or the other gachas I have don't have events or new content.

zzZ cured my insomnia. 10/10

"The bosses just stand around." Fighting Thanatos be like: Post-video edit: Now that ive finished the vod, i do agree with most of the points here. Really, the only thing i dont is the UI. I dont have any problems with it. i have the key things mapped to the same keys i have them on in genshin/hsr/wuwa. No touch the spunky fiery girl. Koleda is pretty great, love using her. Have her paired with Ben and Anton.

The game's better than I thought. And we definitely got some bodacious women arriving soon with Zhu Yuan, and Miyabi.

You have to speedrun at first to unlock at least the modes that have a weekly monthly resets or you'll lose pull resources yet the game progresses so slowly due to the tvs and the important resources and game modes are lvl gated too far into the game the battle commission are good tho feels that I can finally use the characters I've pulled and their reasons played in the first place

My biggest gripe isn’t even anything gameplay related, as I feel like this is more of a button-mashing fighting game than any other genre. My biggest gripe is how much memory this game requires to be installed. Over 20GB. Even Wuwa is about 12GB and its so much more immersive than ZZZ. Probably won’t keep it for long, as I had to delete other games just to make room for this one.

definitely a side game that is fun for like an hour a day, which I like, because I have enough other big games that are taking up my time and I still have to fit in responsibilities and life to live outside. So it's perfect for me. 🤷‍♂

I dont like the swapping mechanic either, and I hate how its just spacebar and swaps in whos next in order (having to space bar twice to get the character you want out).. Not let me speficly choose whoI want to bring in. Such as Wuwu, 12 and 3, represents who I bring during a battle. The chain attack least gives me two options (left and right click), but then it changes the order each time. So 1 being on my brain as my main DPS, or 3 being my support. If you get what I mean. For fast combat, I dont wnat to have to look at the portraits, then decide which button I have to press, rather than knowing the right button from the start. So this is whre the flow of combat is getting disrupted for me.

I actually tried playing with just one hand, spamming leftclick and right click everytime the boss flah yellow is enough to clear the level 30 weekly boss. I enjoy dungeon crawler games so the TV part is decent enough.

i agree with the majority

i really liked the history, is the first one that i actually am reading

Well I got to Hollow Zero in about 4 hrs or so but the boss moved a lot for me.

Definitely the BEST early review. Good job, Stix. I do heavily agree on switching combat. I dont like it being automatic. WuWa has a very similar mechanic with intro and outro skill but, it's MY CHOICE to engage. And considering how fun the individual characters are I'd like to keep playing as them instead of being pushed out every time I play the character well.

Throw in the fact instead of triggering via a 3 ping or some condition like Honkai impact 3rd or Punishing gray raven, you simply fill a gauge for Wuthering Waves and long as you attacked a enemy in the last few seconds, you can straight up CHOOSE to switch and not `lose` the gauge until you do the intro/outro. AKA you can SAVE your QTEs if you wanna get thru your resonance skill, resonance liberation and echo skill usage first. Which is a massively nice subtle change because im not panick forcing a bunch of QTEs out. Which is why Zen-lazy just forcing it immediately on proc is just gonna ruin doing say, particular rotations to apply buffs/debuffs or beeg hit attacks because it `demands` you do a switch asap. One of the worst times a actionie fighting game can ruin itself if you are FORCED to NOT do your beeg dmg hit and instead have to stop mid-way to switch to another character and go thru thar own combo but then get stopped right before the beeg hit with another switch.

I mean there are aspect that i hate but this game is very much overhated by many people imo. Things I learn when a gacha game are releasing is to keep your expectation as low as possible because there will be fuck ups made from the devs.

So far the only thing I wish the game had was fights in more narrow spaces but all the fights I've done are in wide open spaces, making it less diverse for me.

No open world is a dealbreaker for me.

I love zzz ngl ive been enjoying it more than genshin i think its smooth and has a great cast of characters

So far I like the game. I like heavily stylized games like this and Persona. The character designs are also peak and entertaining. And I played Crystar so Im used to simplistic combat.

@@Stixxy 👍 No worries, mate.

Also just a qick few more nitpicks of mine. It seems only Boss enemies get debuff icons, which I find weird. Also you really have to turn down character voices and sfx sounds to hear the music during combat. Half of this game is about it's busting beats which by the way F-ing SLAPS! yet you can barely hearing it.😅

A lack of sound balancing is one of the worst ways to utterly ruin many games, sadly i cant remember any examples of titles that pull that crap in spaces where the music gets utterly blocked by not only extremely loud voices, but also them talking too often. Though in the latter case, Sand Land definitely comes to mind since they are repeating line so often, its just as ear-grating as `Paimon` levels of yappery. Seriously if a game cant have atleast more then 10 lines of `dialogue` to cycle thru in the `open areas` and actually put a damn checker to prevent repeating the same voice line in the past 5~10 minutes, then its clearly a problem, especially if said voice lines are LENGHTY and done ALL THE TIME, instead of only when you are idling for longer then say, 3 or more minutes doing nothing.

I play the character i want on story quest there is a button for that o_o

Tbh i like the game soo far...My issue is just the TV and UI for some reason -The TV in the "HSR like gamemode" is ok and acceptable but TV in story is just...torture,i mean i hate when you just moved like 3-4 steps then a dialogue stop you from continue and it's continue like that...which is insanely annoying but i'm still playing because i like the game and wanted to see the end-game -about the UI i'm still keep getting confuse in the sea of Buttons and icons (they're cool but i'm just suck and not get used to those even i'm already spended 20h+ already) but other things +Musics : is soo good (Expectable from a Mihoyo game) +Combat : is not too insane but not too interesting either but the animation,flashy and detail into characteristic combat style of the characters is really nice +Story : it's just like wuwa at some hours at start but later on the story will getting more interesting and more cool with really detail animation cutscene +Characters : they're not too insane but making A character look like S and S look like A is something i kidda like (which making them more regularly and not somekind of people came out of the hollow after living in there for years without turning into monster)...idk why people keep hating about this +World building : because the game is like "semi open-world" making devs can make the world more detail and adding more things to make the world look more lively and more lovely which is cool and with their "cartoonist" animation making things in the world having they own uniqueness +Animation: what do you expect me to say? :p Overall rating (my thought) : 7/10 (The game can be better and hope that they can improve on what is getting negative review especially new player experience because most people leave after some hours) i'm still very hype for what the game and the devs can give in the future...maybe ZZZ will be in my games list for awhile (atleast to next 3-5 update)

finally unlock dating feature at rank 31

I didn't come to it expecting an open world, but I did expect a dungeon crawler where I could run about the hollows with my Gacha characters smashing crates, throwing switches and fighting enemies without having to deal with loading screens or transitions... the irony is, after I got sick of the stop-start choppy gameplay constantly dunking us into combat, out, into tvs, out, onto the streets, and whatnot I found out that Rally missions exist and do exactly what I wanted. Why the heck are rally missions locked way out at level 25? These are what the story missions SHOULD have been and I'm baffled they instead stuck with the TVs despite having 3 CBTs of people saying "the TVs suck, do something else."

It's pretty good at the current state if I don't compare it with other games and just rate it as it is. My only problem is the TV maze being everywhere but it's not like it breaks the game and make it bad. Also we all know Hoyo won't listen to the players anyway so it is what it is.

Combat is deeper than I expected with hidden mechanics, but those will only be useful in the end game. This game caters to casuals so the story part of the game will always be easy.

Wassup...

@@Stixxy It's alright. Not that great but not completely awful either.

I enjoy zzz also the it felt like persona in the overworld

7:44 not enought still tbh. thankfully there was more in the trailer wich is hype

Well, I do feel kinda the same.. it's not too bad.. now I have gave it a hour or so longer. It's side game. 😊

I bought the $4.99 monthly card for ZZZ so that it would help motivate me to stick with the game for 30 days, to see if it gets better. I expect by that time it will be more fun, but to be honest I am not impressed with the game at this point (I am only inter-knot level 23 at this point). Overall ZZZ shows promise, but with so many "deal breakers" in the game I am not sure I will stick with it, (and that is fine, every game does not need to be for me). There are many other games to play (and soon to release) so it is what it is. Good luck Zenless Zone Zero developers, I hope your game finds it's niche for a bright and successful future! Anyway, good video!

At first I hate it. but then it grow on me and I love it even the tv system. The only thing that I hate is the UI navigation when using controller. It too clustered, messy and inconsistent.

The .. brought me here

I am enjoying the game so far. Good animations and graphics, story is kinda bland and the world is on rails. I enjoyed the quirky humor and the style really reminds me of the console games of the 90s-early 2000s. So I think the game is good but it isn't my main game. I play snowbreak, path to nowhere and zenless.

2:47 No sir. After watching the first cutscene in both I was already able to engage in combat and explore the world freely. 😅

I haven't played the game because my mobile is not compatible for some reason (not on predownload). I will only say something about the comparison with Wuwa. Yes, the beginning was slow and kind of boring, but being an openwolrd allows you to get out and beat echoes' ass, so you can find other things to do before going back to the story.

L25 now and enjoying the game though I think the advertised 180 pulls was highly misleading given the need to play the game (just like any other gacha) to obtain the majority of them. I mean imagine if Wuwa said you get 180 pulls and a free banner selector, but then you had to likewise grind the game for them? Also not a fan of the pity system and prefer other games like ToF or Wuwa's. I'd like a way of banking stam or raising the limit so you didn't have to login twice a day or cap out. Agree with your point of 1/3 of the cut scene's lacking a dub. Given the length of time Hoyo had to cook this is unforgivable. Even if they had an excuse like keeping the install down in size they could at least offer the option to full fat download a more complete version. As for the graphics, they seem kinda lacking saturation and the brightness is turned up too high. Would also have enjoyed a 120fps cap option seeing as I use a 144Htz display so generally like playing at 120fps for most of my games and though I have a 4070 I don't like playing uncapped in games due to the ramp in fan noise and bouncing off the rev limiter. As for the combat, to add another point to what's mentioned about the child like AI level of the mobs, it would be nice to allow for zooming out the camera just a little. If you're playing the big bear (anyone for that matter) you're sometimes so close to the target that it becomes next to impossible to see the parry queue's and have to kinda spam parry based on the audio queue instead. Rest of the game like aesthetics, story telling, animation and music are all great.

I'm struggling to get through the beginning of the game (I'm level 19) but I'm t r y i n g

Even with a free ten pull i don’t wanna log in

I like the game so far, i love the vibes which it gives, style. Combat is enjoyable, if it is easy, it doesn't mean its bad - try The elder scrolls, or mmo combat, they are easy, but they are enjoyable for many people. Also i am lvl 26 in zzz and i start to get to difficult fights, one time my character died even, and i completed games as sekiro for example. A lot of not interesting dialogues to follow, but cutscenes are great. So just skip them, why people see something irritating in it, when in the most MMORPG people dont even read quests descriptions, and no one gets hate about it and its a normal thing to do

I hated that the regular bundle can come S weapons instead of characters. It is so frustrating you see a S and it is a weapon.

I quit HI3 and PGR within 2 weeks . So I don't think I want to play ZZZ too . My schedule is already tight with HSR, Wuwa and genshin.

I love playing wuwa. Almost collected what I can collect in the map. Zzz is a good change of pace game. Nice and simple.

The quality of game is a 10/10 in many aspects that helps the vibe, but i stay for the gameplay not the vibe.

Game is very lacking in the important parts in the first 10 or so hours... but Ima stick with it. It's not tedious or annoying or anything, just hope it gets better as I level up.

how? did u exepect candy crush?

I like ita lot

I extremely love the game

4:16

Im so glad you DIDN'T trash the game. I know it isnt for everyone, but I really enjoy this game and I dont usually enjoy other gachas as much

navigating through UI specially the character stats is horrible, they need to make it more clear, other then that I enjoy playing this game

God the UI is bad lmao

I dropped ZZZ just because it was not for me. I did try but I think like everyone is expect something new, something fresh probably better than HI3 but....yup we got this. I played Persona but their dialogue is more preferable than ZZZ. As for WuWa, most people probably said it boring on early chapter but they just do a dump lore with few subtle thing while ZZZ always yapping about some random thing which make the dialogue felt more longer. I prefer WuWa introduction more but no hate on ZZZ though.

I feel like people went into this with their expectations waaaay too high, I didn’t have any expectations at all and wasn’t even planning on playing it but am very much enjoying it so far

I literally had zero expectations to the game. if the game aint fun, it aint fun

Because of my high expectation i'm feeling really unhappy at first, but still i forced myself playing through the entire game and now i'm on level 31. I think this game is not bad in the end, i think it's 7/10 at best, if TV mode removed it will goes to 9/10 for me. they should fire people that think TV mode is good idea, i'm on endgame and still hate TV mode, i mean, is there a people that love TV mode lol. someone said TV mode on rouge like mode is feeling good, but nope, it's bad, really really bad, they should get rid of it 100% from the game and only use it for limited time event instead. i'm really enjoy belobog story, belobog frickin cool and i think belobog story carry my mood to play more. But the Zhu Yuan story is bring me down again, it's bad for me, i will probably just skip all Zhu Yuan main story. 🤔 i'll just leave my 3* on appstore till miracle come and they fixed TV mode.
