Why are you forcing players to sit through the whole MAIN QUEST without SKIP button in some places. It is so annoying. This is not GI. This quest was the worst in pacing, the SLOWWWWWW WALKKKKKKKKKK i wanted to throw my PC. IF the next patch also has this issue i will uninstall this game. Really dissapointed in KURO. Give players the choice to skip or not, do not force it
Nice Gacha Game 👍🏻🙂

I rly wanted to give this game a chance... but the story after 4h is so boring it is mind boggling. Flat characters, flat dialogues, flat combat. It is utter garbage.
[h1]How Is This Game Free?[/h1] I genuinely don't understand how this game is free. I've played plenty of free-to-play games over the years, but Wuthering Waves is one of the very few that actually feels like a premium AAA experience. Between its cinematic storytelling, incredible combat, beautiful world, amazing soundtrack, gorgeous visuals, and constant updates, it honestly feels like a game that should have had a price tag. The best part is that you don't need to spend money to enjoy it. [hr][/hr] [h2]My Experience:[/h2] When I first started playing, I thought the story was good, but nothing extraordinary. The beginning follows Rover, the protagonist who wakes up with no memories and gradually uncovers who they are while helping the people of Huanglong. It was enjoyable, but I wasn't completely sold on the game yet. Then I reached the Mt. Firmament (Jinhsi) storyline. That was the moment I realized this game had something special. Then I played through Black Shores. From that point on, the writing just kept getting better with every update. Every new chapter somehow managed to surpass the last, and by the time I finished the Version 3.3 story, I honestly just sat there wondering how this was still a free game. The story doesn't just improve. It grows into something far greater than the opening chapters ever suggest. If you're planning to try this game, I'd genuinely recommend playing until Black Shores (Version 1.3) before deciding whether it's for you. That's where Wuthering Waves truly finds its identity. [hr][/hr] [h2]Story:[/h2] The story is easily my favorite part of the game. It's emotional, cinematic, well-paced, and filled with memorable moments that actually stay with you after you finish them. Unlike many games where the protagonist feels like they're just watching everything happen around them, Rover feels like a true central character whose past, choices, and future are deeply connected to the world's story. You never feel like you're simply watching other characters be important. You're an important part of the narrative too. By the latest chapters, I honestly consider Wuthering Waves one of the strongest story-driven games I've played, not just among free-to-play titles. [hr][/hr] [h2]Combat & Gameplay:[/h2] The combat is phenomenal. It's fast, responsive, stylish, and incredibly satisfying. Every character has a unique playstyle, boss fights are genuinely fun, movement feels smooth, and the game rewards learning mechanics instead of simply increasing your stats. It's easily my favorite combat system in any game of this style. [hr][/hr] [h2]Free-to-Play Done Right:[/h2] One of the biggest reasons I respect Wuthering Waves is that it never made me feel forced to spend money. Yes, it uses a gacha system, but the game constantly rewards players through exploration, events, quests, achievements, and regular updates with enough premium currency that even free-to-play players can build excellent teams over time. At no point did I feel like paying was necessary just to enjoy the game or keep up with new content. It's also available on PC, mobile, and PlayStation 5, with Xbox support coming soon, and your progress carries across every platform. [hr][/hr] [h2]The Developers:[/h2] Kuro Games deserves a lot of credit. They actively listen to player feedback and continue improving the game with almost every update. Instead of feeling like the game peaked at launch, it genuinely feels like it keeps getting better every few months. That's something I wish more live-service games managed to do. [hr][/hr] [h2]A Common Misconception:[/h2] Because Wuthering Waves is a gacha game, a lot of people form an opinion about it before ever trying it. Part of that comes from the way some members of the community represent the game online. Like any large gaming community, there are players who focus almost exclusively on certain characters in ways that can overshadow everything else the game has to offer. Unfortunately, that's often the side people see first, creating the impression that the game revolves around that kind of content. I think that's a shame, because Wuthering Waves deserves to be recognized for its storytelling, world-building, music, combat, and overall production quality. Those are the reasons I keep coming back, and I hope more people experience the game for those strengths instead of judging it based on the loudest parts of its community. [hr][/hr] [h2]Final Thoughts:[/h2] When I first installed Wuthering Waves, I wasn't expecting it to become one of my favorite games. I simply saw a beautiful game with impressive graphics and thought, "This looks interesting. I'll give it a try." I came for the visuals and stayed for the story. What started as simple curiosity slowly became something I looked forward to with every update. Every new chapter pulled me in even more, and now it's one of those rare games that I know I'll remember for years to come. If we're talking about free-to-play games, I genuinely believe this is one of the best story-driven experiences available today. Even when compared to many paid titles, I think it stands alongside some of the strongest narrative experiences I've played. If you've never tried it, I'd recommend giving it a fair chance and playing at least until Black Shores before making your judgment. [b]"How is this game free?"[/b]
After playing Wuwa since ver 1.0, I can confidently say this game has come a long way. The difference between launch and the current version is huge. The developers have put in a tremendous amount of effort to improve the overall experience, and it really shows. One of the things I appreciate the most is that Kuro Games genuinely listens to player feedback. Many of the issues from the early days have been addressed through continuous updates, quality-of-life improvements, optimization, and meaningful adjustments based on community suggestions. It's refreshing to see a developer that actively communicates with its player base instead of ignoring them. The character models and animations are top-tier. Every resonator is beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail, from facial expressions to combat animations. The art direction is consistently impressive and makes every new character feel unique. The gacha system is also one of the fairest among modern gacha games. The pity system is generous, obtaining premium currency is reasonably achievable by simply playing the game, and the rewards from events are frequent and worthwhile. As a f2p player, I never felt completely left behind:)
К сожалению этот ебанный кал вылетает и выдает ошибку прям во время битвы с боссом. Персонажи выглядят очень красиво, но в сюжете нету красивых анимаций и персонажи каменные. Так что игра так себе, пусть поучатся анимировать персов у ZZZ/
Looks nice but I came back to the game and I am constantly fighting overleveled things and I have no idea how to pick up where I left off.
