Infinity Nikki

This is a very predatory gacha game. It's also a wonderful work of art. The environments are breath-taking. The clothes are each more detailed, more beautiful than the last. The animations are drop-dead beautiful. It's also a blockbuster, AAA sized live service game made by women, for women. There are so many absolutely rad women characters in this game, the default gender is "girl" whenever talking about any historical figure within the lore of the game, it's mind-breaking how much it makes you realize that your brain defaults to men when talking about a character of unspecified gender, only for you to realize later that the character was a girl all along. It's also full of very very sapphic imagery. This is extremely precious, especially in the current political climate. The devs are doing their best and listening to the community as much as they can. Every update for a while now has been bringing highly requested optimization, game-changing QoL, and better narrative and patch direction. They're listening. Game dev just takes time. The player base is a cess-pool, however. Both Global and CN is choke-full of toxicity and entitlement. This is to be expected; because the game is a gacha trying to extract value from the players, the players get into a toxic relationship with the game itself. But the players view the company (Infold) as this sort of malevolent entity making decisions trying to actively harm or spite the player-base. They regularly ignore or forget fact that Infold is a collection of individual, regular human employees doing their best to make this game the best it can be, under the extreme strain of live service production and constraints stemming from tight schedules and financial considerations from upper management. The grievances and recriminations never cease. They're trying to strong-arm and blackmail the devs in order to force them to make the game fit what they want. They play the game way past the point where they're having fun, then blame the game, because live-service games encourage unhealthy relationships to the medium. This is a beautiful work of art. The free to play storyline/content is peak; it's a dress-up platforming exploration JRPG, like a cross between Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild and Love Nikki, but at the end of the 1.0 storyline you kill a god. The worldbuilding is dark and goofy and deep and wonderful but often badly communicated. It's messy but there is so much light and soul and beauty within this game. The level artists are god-like. The 3D artists are absolutely cracked. You can build your own home and the controls used to suck but they're pretty good now! They just keep making everything better, little by little. It's really good. Play this at your own risk, but if you're not susceptible to dark patterns... Just play the F2P storyline. Nothing about it is paywalled in any way. There are so much free clothes. Make outfits. Take photos. Read the lore. It ♥♥♥♥♥. This game ♥♥♥♥♥.

boring tbh too much pay to win stuff

（叠甲：我退游我也不讨厌暖暖，纯烦叠纸跟老姚烧烤） 先不说叠纸整的什么鬼活，单唠游戏来说没见过这么无聊的游戏 也有可能是我设备差吧，bug跟卡帧齐飞，说是大世界实际上不如我玩的解密游戏自由度高，说是电脑端界面显示仍然有种拿着鼠标玩平板的感觉。（实际真玩平板能烫死人） 我实在不理解贵司是觉得用户需要自适应到自己买个5080才能玩你这个更适合中国宝宝体质的换装游戏吗？ 我能配起5080我玩你这个啊？ 老姚你有啥资格跟3a斗啊？你赶得上老头环一根毛吗老姚？ 越更新占地越大，你跟内存厂家有个约会咋回事？ 暖让你赚不少钱你能找点好人整暖5不？还中国有暖暖，就这么传播中国文化啊 退游了，再您的见，（）八蛋

Majority of actual content is free, and the things that cost actual money aren't needed to progress. That being said, if you have issues with impulse buying or gambling this might not be for you.

I want to make it clear that while steam says I've only played Infinity Nikki for 6 hours, I've been playing this game since 1.0 through Infold's own launcher until it stopped doing its job and launching the game. There is a lot I love about this game which is why it pains me that I can't recommend it. I love all of the dress-up mechanics of the game, I think a lot of the outfits are gorgeous and, even though this is a gacha game, a lot of wonderful clothing pieces are accessible to free-to-play players. I like *some" of the story quests and characters, it is not the deepest storytelling ever but it is still engaging and exciting (to me at least). And I like the platforming aspect of the game! I think it's really fun! My first issue with the game is probably the main reason I can't recommend it and it is not related to any of the in-game aspects of it. It is just way too big. I had to get an external drive just to be able to update the game to its newest version. For a game that is advertised as rather friendly to casual gamers, it really seems like the player needs to invest into a computer with the disk space of a small data center (which imo is the opposite of what a casual player would want to do). I really wish the game was optimized better, seeing a new update is becoming less exciting and more disheartening because It feels like countdown until I will no longer be able to play the game. My other issue is that so many areas become irrelevant after their update season. The game rarely gives reasons for players to return to specialty areas from themed seasons like the firework isles or the danqing realm. They essentially become photoshoot spots and while that's part of the game I find it disappointing. Especially knowing that they take up precious precious space on my pc. I dunno, I don't really see the point in recommending a game of such size when the majority of the memorable quests and storylines that made me love this game are just an accessory to advertise a picture background.

I used to love this game, but I can't in good conscious recommend this or any game made by Infold. Also 119 GB is ridiculous for a gacha game, or any game really.
