alright time for a proper review, I've been playing this game for two weeks now so i have a more proper opinion kinda
pros:
- a well polished and perfectly executed 2000s nostalgia asthetic with an absurd attention to detail
eg: cds in the shop all have illustrations, you can see what a character is doing on their phone or pc,the tv in the menu is interactble and some of the ads are referenced in game .etc
- very immersive world , thanks to the social media (interknot) feature and npc interactions you can get a very good idea of what the world is like despite the small scope.
- characters have different animations that fit their personality as opposed to cycling through the same five animations like some kinda of gacha life video,npcs and playable characters look like they belong to the same universe so it's makes the story a lot more immersive compared to hsr or genshin,if you don't care about the story,certain parts of it,or just want to do it later you have the option to skip through it and button mashing actually works this time(cutscenes aren't skipable for the first time tho)and the story is replayble so no need to make a new account to play it again,thanks for such a basic game feature hoyo
- wacky characters,if you enjoy a silly cast of likeable goofballs than you're gonna like the characters in this game a lot,belobog industries and the cunning hares are the best example of this.
-unique 3d animations,i don't need to explain this one
- banger soundtrack cus this is mihoyo we're talking about
- the combat is easy to get into and looks cool,i haven't gotten that deep into it so i can't say for sure how complicated it is, especially since i don't Play that many fighting games,tho if you're expecting a souls like experience than no this game follows a pretty traditional difficulty increase,things get hard when you reach higher levels,the hardest content is higher levels of hollow zero but i haven't played it so idk.
- not as grindy as something like genshin ,ascending a character/weapon only requires one item as opposed to four/three,all level up items are obtained from the same location so no running around and crafting can be done anywhere,leveling up a character/weapon doesn't require money it's only required when ascending them, ascension material (or rank up as it's called) is open on all days of the week, stamina is 240 and you get 60 for free, dailies can be performed in like a minute and you have options.
cons:
- if you hate rng gear (artifacts,relics,echos) or just can't tolerate dealing with multiple games like this then this game has it too
- the smaller scope of this game and movement might come off as restrictive
-the tv puzzles are kinda bland but they've been improving,plus the devs said they'll be working on it
- 19 gb (android) and 110 gb to install (pc) on launch is craaaazyyy for a game like this like what??
any way that's kinda it,zzz is a very polished game with fun but casual gameplay if that's you're thing then you're gonna like it.
UPDATE: IT'S 1.1 AND THE VOID GLITCH ON MOBILE GOT FIXED BABY LET'S FUC//ING GOOOOOOOO
