positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played for about 59 hours, so this isn’t a knee-jerk negative review. The game has real strengths: the combat feels good, the world is interesting, and at first it genuinely feels promising. Unfortunately, the longer you play, the more the progression systems completely undermine that experience. The gacha is extremely predatory. Materials are painfully scarce, and your world level increases faster than your character power, so instead of feeling rewarded for playing, you feel punished for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never cried because of a gacha game story, until WuWa 3.1 came out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Frankly, I love this game. I've got 36 hours of playtime in it. It's fun, the story is engrossing, the characters are well written. Sure, it's a Gacha game, but the gameplay and exploration are great and the writing is fascinating with awesome concepts. I DESPERATELY want to be able to recommend it. But I CAN'T do so, and it's specifically due to the sheer bloated file size. As of 3.1 at the time of writing, this game takes 124GB or space on a PC- and it's likely about to go up to around 140Gb…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Steam hours don’t even show the whole story here since I was playing this day one from Epic... it's prolly 700+ hours deep at this point. As a day one player and a spender on the game, I really want to address the good and the bad after 2 years of playing. The Good First the good... combat. As someone who is also a day one PGR player from the same developer Kuro Games, I already knew these devs can cook action games. The combat is elite. I like the cool flashy moments, the parry mechanics,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what can I say about this game, it's definitely not bad, I downloaded it only because of the collaboration with cyberpunk. So the storyline in the game is cool, the characters are interesting and beautiful, the music is excellent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I started Wuthering Waves about a month after its Steam launch, and honestly, I haven't missed a single day since. I’m writing this after hitting 100% completion on absolutely everything: the map, every quest, all holograms, and even the end-game modes. And after all that, this game is a solid 10/10 for me. I’ve spent countless hours on Destiny 2 and Dota over the years, and Wuthering Waves has still managed to be the game I've spent most time playing this year.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who has never been into the anime universe, this game is exceptional. Here are the things that impressed me after spending 100+ hours of playtime: Smooth combat & gameplay. Responsive controls, both on keyboard/mouse & gamepad (I use the keyboard more because it gives me better control and flexibility in fast-paced combat, but I switch to the gamepad when I want to sit back and chill). Stunning visual & animation. Unique character design. An immersive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I downloaded this just to play the Cyberpunk Edgerunners event, being that I'm obviously a Cyberpunk 2077 nut and holy sh-t. It was GOOD. Of course that'd be the case, considering the writer and producer of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Bartosz Sztybor, along with CD Projekt Red writer and editor Milena Zając, were involved in making this collab work and they did a really great job of explaining the crossover with Kuro's own universe. I wasn't expecting they'd actually cut that deep. No spoilers…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The collab with Edgerunners brought me to the game and the storyline with Shorekeeper hooked me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compress the game its 124.91gb. Kuro games wuwa has best gameplay but please COMPRESS THE GAME FILES. And thanks for bringing this to steam so i can write this review.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played Wuthering Waves for a long time, and my experience with the gacha system has been unbelievably frustrating. I've had to go to around 70–80 pity on virtually every banner and according to Wuwa Tracker, my account ranks among the unluckiest in terms of pull luck.According to Wuwa Tracker, my account is in the bottom 2.83% for 5★ luck, meaning I'm unluckier than roughly 97% of tracked players. I understand that RNG is part of gacha games, but when you're consistently hitting hard pity…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, I wasn't going to do this but Kuro Games is literally forcing my hand. First of all, I'm so tired of how this game started as a Genshin competitor with a diverse cast of characters, but now it's another waifu collecting game with a low quality fanservice. During Lahai-Roi I started to hope that we're past this and the story doesn't need to rely on waifus to sell, but it's been 9 releases between 2 male characters. We have 41 limited characters SIX OF WHICH ARE MEN. This is insane. WuWa…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, but couldn't. Story: After the first 5 times of them showing characters sad past memories in a pocket dimension, it started getting repetitive. Little did I know 5 more time spaces showing characters sad pasts were waiting ahead. After getting through Sigrika's sad past dimension, I was done with it, gave it one last chance, and whoa another (Lucilla) sad pocket dimension. Every single quest in this game follows the exact same formula of meeting a new girl, seeing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full Game Review Been playing this game since release, long before it came to steam. My absolute playtime should be at 1200 - 1500 hours plus-minus. I have completed all of exploration, all (available) achievements, all content as a whole as a complete free to play player, so the review will be based on a F2P standpoint. Short Form: Story: 10/10 Gameplay and Progression: 8/10 Combat: 9/10 Content: 8/10 Characters: 8/10 Powercreep: 8/10 Developers: 10/10 F2P Friendliness: 7/10 Total: 8.5/10 -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They just need to decrease this game size and optimise it better, then its a best game right there
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my first gacha game and I have to say I'm very impressed. I gave it a try because it was voted players choice GOTY and I can see why. The combat has a very high skill ceiling and is very satisfying overall, especially when you land combos and counters. I will say the new player experience leaves something to be desired, you get bombarded by UI menus and a million popups and notifications you don't understand, but if you can push through that intial overstimulation this game has a ton of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely Worth Playing Gacha Game Wuthering Waves is easily one of the best action-focused gacha games out right now. The combat is insanely smooth, responsive, and genuinely skill-based — dodges, parries, and combo swaps feel so satisfying that even normal enemies are fun to fight. The world is beautiful in every region, with stunning landscapes and stylish cities that make exploring a joy. The music fits perfectly too, adding atmosphere whether you’re gliding through a valley or fighting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wuthering Waves actually managed to make me quit Genshin completely. Everything else feels so much better than Genshin, even though I have to admit the story at the beginning (Huanglong region) is bad that I think you should just skip it. Black Shore is where the story starts to become good and interesting for me, and my favorite romance part of this game is when Rover tries to save Shorekeeper. I feel like Rinascita region is where this game truly shines and the story really begins for me.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been a day 1 player who has bought monthly pass and battle pass since then, bought many skins (almost all), and yet had to quit because of the 50/50 system. Constant 50/50 losses, almost 6 times in a row twice. This made me walk away from the game slowly and today’s Qingxiao update was the last thread that got cut, because I lost 50/50 again. Never touching this game again. They say WuWa is generous, it is not. Also, the amount of crashes in the recent updates have been unbearable - even on a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How Is This Game Free? 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. My…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is free and pretty and many more good things that I can say about it But for now, I'm giving it a negative review because it's becoming more and more unsatisfying to play just because of the poor optimization. During cutscenes or even freeplay, the audio doesn't load fast enough and you are literally playing with bugged asf audio. You'll only hear certain attacks (not even all of them, no background music, cutscenes' audio doesn't match the visuals, etc.). So yeah, I'm playing with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first and only gacha game I play. It got my attention at release when I was willing to give a gacha game a try & I remember being confused whether to get in to WUWA or Genshin. I ended up choosing WUWA and glad I did. I have over 500+ hours on PS5 that's how much I love it and now I have moved to Steam so glad WUWA is on steam unlike genshin. I still wish they add achievements support on here. The story of the base game is pretty basic and can be underwhelming but it picks up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s good, the quality is noticeable, with updates every few weeks and new characters and content. Combat feels great, not too hard, not too easy. But at the end of the day, it’s still a gacha. The monetization can be predatory, and if you’re someone who struggles with spending too much on these types of games, you should probably stay away. For low spenders or F2P though, it’s surprisingly chill, you can enjoy pretty much everything without feeling forced to swipe. Great game overall, just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly this was a big surprise. I decided to play it just to have some downtime from fps games. A game I wanted to play just because of the 'flight' utility; see the world from above and enjoy the scenery. I did the "viral" global filter from tiktok too, to make it look more story book like (high contrast and color while lowering brightness). And to my surprise it was one of the few game that that I would find soothing and relaxing: more often than not I would pass out mid convo with NPCs.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wuthering Waves honestly cared more about me on my birthday than some of my close friends. Honestly, it moved something inside of me. That a game cares more about the most important day of your life than some of your IRL friends. It got advertised to me as a Souls-like an I agree, it can be sometimes pretty challenging to master some gameplay mechanics. (Right, Lynae?) Tha graphics are phenomenal and it rarely gets boring. Sadly, I picked up WuWa after already being exhausted of the Genshin…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the take of someone who's never played gacha games before, so take it as such. The graphics are great. The world is vast, the game is fluid. Combat is fun. But! The game mechanic's revolve around 'gambling'. So you're rapidly slowed down in your progress, and psychologically trapped into 'needing more and more'. I understand that this is a free game and that's how they make money, but I'd rather pay for a game that doesn't psychology tricks me into micro-transactions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the gameplay is good, content is great, but it's hard to enjoy playing when random stutters happens every 5 minutes. and don't just accept how much space this game needs, the devs could do well to optimize it but either they can't or they won't..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know it’s a Gacha Game, but play it first before dissing it. I spent like 200+ hours in this game. That alone is a testament to how much I enjoy this game. Also huge W for the devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually never cry at game stories, but the 3.1 quest made me cry so hard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this game, I finally achieved one of my gaming dreams: playing as Rebecca. Her gameplay is so chaotic and energetic. I can feel her strength and wild nature with every blast from her shotgun, Guts. All the references to the anime, along with the story quest where she gets much more screen time than in the anime, are everything I could ask for as a Cyberpunk fan and, especially, as a Rebecca fan. Thank you, KuroGames. You really nailed it.

unlabelledView post →This is my first 'gatcha' game. I thought I would give this game a try since it was F2P and see if it would be good enough to keep me interested. I gave it shot because.. well I didn't know what else to play. I am primarily an RPG genre player and I had just finished Claire Obscure 33 and I was debating on what game would be able to pick my time on. I was and honestly still leaning on getting RDR2, but I figured this is 'free' and well why not, worse case I will get bored and I can just stop…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wuthering Waves delivers one of the most enjoyable combat systems in the gacha RPG genre. The animations are smooth, exploration is engaging, and the game continues to improve with each update. While there are still areas that could be refined, the overall experience is highly satisfying,and TO NEW PLAYERS: This is the best time to start the game. Cyberpunk collab, free 5 star, you can get a full 5 star team for free eventually. You will get Rebecca just to login
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trying Wuthering Waves and I guess it didn't take long for every open world gacha game looking mildly ambitious to just be Genshin Impact clones. Insane how much is identical.
unlabelledView post →Despite Wuthering Waves being a gacha game, this never holds it back. The gameplay, characters, world, exploration, and music are of extremely high quality, and with every update, it delivers richer and more dynamic features that further immerse you in this innovative world. Personally, I play this game for the story and characters. I have absolutely fallen in love with the narrative Kuro is trying to convey. It is undoubtedly one of the most visually stunning, thematically rich, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best RPG I've ever played. Wuthering Waves is a high quality post apocalyptic story driven game that strongly covers themes such as freedom, resilience, family, identity, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. This game's narrative presentation is phenomenal and constantly improving with each story quest update. Currently, there's over 100+ hours of story content to experience, its the greatest aspect of the game, and you don't even have to spend money to experience it. Many of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who has tried a lot of gacha games, wuwa is one of the two that i regularly come back to. It'a a nice, story rich and just honestly a really fun game, especially for a gacha which is quite rare. The character design is really nice, the combat is fun and engaging, it generally respects your time more than most gachas, Exploration is really unique, In the beggining the story might be a slog to go through but it picks up later, and the beginning areas of the map are also nothing to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a review as a Day One player that quit for a while and as a HoYoVerse fan (Since Day One daily grind of Genshin, ZZZ, Honkai: Star Rail). Wuthering Waves is an amazing gacha game. I would dare say I enjoy it more than Genshin at this point. The current story is absolute cinema, and the game is very fun to play. I quit the game for a long while because the game felt very clunky and meh in 1.0. However, when I returned and played story after the Mt. Firmament area, the content is leagues…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →People's Choice for 2025 for a VERY GOOD REASON. Live service makes it tricky to navigate the balance between game dev direction and community feedback. Most devs will put up the facade of listening: social media interaction, quality localisation, surveys and questionnaires where you ask for QoL that devs may or may not put into their other games instead. But KURO GAMES listens. At launch the game was admittedly a mess, with bugs, awkward localisation, and story that was all over the place.…

All I want to do is log in, grind, explore, and fight more bosses. The world is massive and surprisingly alive — the music, the combat flow, the character animations — everything just clicks. The combat feels insanely good once you start chaining dodges, parries, and echoes together. It’s like every fight has its own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game used to be good, and had the potential to be great. The game looks beautiful and has some decent gameplay but in the end that's all it has. I realized (after like nearly 400 hours on steam and like 300 hrs before it came to steam) that I was in a trance. This game has nothing worth the spending at all. Meta-wise the game is horrible, they release a brand new damage dealer who shatters the game's meta and stays in T0 for a bit but loses 30% of their damage without pulling their…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the few decent Gacha slop games i've played, you dont have to worry about the Gacha aspects too much and you can get currency pretty easily just by playing, it can get harder to farm currency late into the game but by than you should have most of the characters you want anyway.

And honestly, despite its flaws, this is a game I genuinely love. The world is absolutely beautiful. The environments, atmosphere, animations, combat effects, and overall visual design are incredible. Exploring the world never gets old, and there are so many areas where I just stop for a moment because the scenery looks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This might sound like a weird reason to not like a game anymore but every single time I open this game it could be once a week, twice a week, it could be every day there is an update that I have to restart the whole game for it to happen and it got to the point that I dont even want to open the game because it will take a while to open and update and I cant just open it and play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely love this game. I came from Genshin and this game has singlehandly ruined Genshin for me. Tonnes of Rewards. Updates are brilliant, New Characters all the time, The story is getting better and better and feels very unique. Better yet... the Devs actually listen. There's been a lot of quality of life changes and they rerun very powerful and dun characters frequently. Could not recommend more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got about 600 hours into it The game it's really cool , rich story , cool open world. If you have very little time with about 3-5 min you can finish your daily stuff and log out. The end game it's actually decent, not to easy not to hard, Con: Not so much, Probabilly the lack of CO-OP stuff , this game really could be more social, There are a few issues with asetts loadin but it runs fine. Score: 9.5/10 Tip: If you wanna try it , please do not use your Lusturus tides ( green one ) on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish they didn't do the unspoken 3-banner rule. Characters only get three banner appearances total---their debut and two reruns---aside from the occasional special event. But those events usually just throw in extra characters as filler. If you want an older character, it's basically impossible to get them unless they randomly show up in a special event.

unlabelledView post →Wuthering Waves, while a fun game to play, continue on their path of anti-consuner practices. In the latest Cyberpunk update, they made it so that players have to buy an entirely new type of currency in order to get the limited time characters and weapons. This disheartens people who have been saving pulls for what looked like a good event, and takes advantage of players fomo in the hopes of squeezing some extra cash out of them. Not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think my playtime speaks for how much I enjoy this game. (switched to PC launcher version recently) Gacha aspect can be rough if you're not used to it but it's still more forgiving than most gacha games. Peak story, peak character designs, peak voice acting (in all languages imo) and peak music. Game visually looks more and more phenomenal with each subsequent update with significant amounts of story content and new areas/regions (every 42 days usually). Performance can be a tiny bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 250 Hours i can confidently say: Absolute Cinema. The Story is peak overall, the beginning of it is a bit bumpy and rough because you get just thrown into it and it drags on every now and then. Once you get into Rinascita This game goes all out and throws peak story after peak story at you with pretty seamless transition. The cutscenes feel like you're in the middle of a movie and you get every aspect imaginable, cute dorkiness, dark sides of underground organizations, action filled…
