PGR is the one I truly stuck with not just because the gameplay is amazing but the developers genuinely care about the player base from their f2p friendly model to their constant care of their units not just in cosmetics and new units but also buffing old units sure they may not compare to new units thats understandable but the fact they give progression and care to units who are obsolete shows they care for f2p players.

[trgr]

The reason why I only play PGR it's because the game values your time. Especially for me who is working 40 hours a week. You can do your daily and weekly quests less than 10 minutes, Grindiing is easy and no need to deal with equipment RNG's all are fixed (weapon and memories), F2p friendly, gives satisfying combat experience and most of all, no censorship. The narration style of story might not appealing to everyone but actually I enjoy it. Been playing since global launch and no plan to stop. 🥳

[dellehave]

one of the reasons PGR earns so little is also duo to the fact you as a free to play player can get every single character without having to spend wisely or skip.

[ofentseworks]

Punishing: Gray Raven and Snowbreak. Satisfying so far, but I am hyped for Wuthering Waves.

[SmolPetals]

Man I can never get enough of PGR Lee Hyperreal so fun to play. His moveset is the definition of peak unlike that DMC mobile hot mess

[nevolence]

You have no idea how happy I am that you included Path to Nowhere, absolutely goated game. I've especially been enjoying their signature music lately (especially during the Eleven and Coquelic patches), AISNO's music and art team are insane.

Chapter 11 of Guardian Tales gave me an existential crisis. This is how good the story gets after the first chapters. GT deserves so much more, and the community is so fond of the game!

[zdarlight]

Been playing FGO, Arknights and recently Path To Nowhere for a few years . Played and dropped other gacha games as well but still stuck to these three probably because I'm a sucker for great lore, storytelling and how easy it is to do their dailies. Path to Nowhere is not as big as the other two yet i feel the developers try their best to put in quality work with a smaller budget through the art work, storyline and VA especially in their events and also the gacha system is more generous.

one game i will never stop playing is honkai impact, it was my first ever gacha game back in 2018 and i'm still going strong logging in every single day. also we're nearing the beginning of part 2 of the story, so i'm excited for that as well

i also play all the other hoyo games (yes, tears of themis too), but hi3 has that special place in my heart that can't be replaced

[aegrelius]

I've been a genshin and star rail addict, as by logging in daily with no fail. And have added reverse 1999 to that list since launch, it's just such a beautiful game both regards to characters, music and aesthetic.

[samsan]

reverse1999 all da way. I never played Gacha game before but Reverse1999 really did changed all that. It's so unique that when I was introduced to the game I was so hooked and because of the energy system I am limited to the daily activities. I was so hungry to play so I searched for similar games of this genre and I actually went and played all those game recommended to me BUT to my disappointment nothing came close to the quality of Reverse1999. as a Millennial I could so much related to the lore of this game, it's like reliving those pop cultures in the past again, the character designs, the lines, the lore, the music, the game mechanics. It's just perfect. I could really see how much researched went into developing this game. especially the voice acting, it makes every other game look so dull and boring. Those lines, those accents, and how expressive the voice actors are, really portrayed a lovable unique characters (even those insignificant 3 and 2 stars). You just wanna spend your hard earn money for them. I am just in love.

what makes AK special and different is how much they actually make you use your account, I have played genshin, PGR, reverse and a few others where events are just... grind, but in arknights every event will have every level of difficulty, every new event you know you will have fun dealing with the challenges, its by far my favorite gacha

[didyouknowthat.channel]

I see Nikke, PGR, and Blue Archive. This is a man of good taste!

[khandimahn]

My top 3 that have stood the test of time so far - Blue Archive, Path to Nowhere, Star Rail. BA is relatively simple and relaxing, very F2P friendly, and has cute stories. Sometimes goes a little harder on the fanservice than I would like, but I deal with it. Path to Nowhere has the best writing of any gacha I've played, the latest chapters and events have kept me going to the next mission to see what happens next, chapter 13 can't get here soon enough! Also some of the best character designs, in my opinion. Star Rail can be a bit of a grind, but being turn based I can do most of the grind while eating dinner or whatever. Not the best writing, but the world is big with lots to explore and lots to do.

[captaincalamari]

I gotta agree. Nikke is the only game right now i actively play and do dailies for. The others are if i get in the mood for them, where i actively play them for months but suddenly lose interest and repeat that cycle.

[MsRafdi]

you should definitely try Alchemy Star, it's also a really fun gacha games and has a unique gameplay too, or try Last Cloudia it has a good story, stunning gameplay, although the games required a hardcore grind but they're still help you out by giving so much rewards the more you grind the event

[JusticeFreedomDestin]

Azur Lane is by far my favorite gacha. With all the faults that other gachas have, this one is the redeemer for the genre. A large part is that I feel like the devs are very involved with the community and actually play the game

[owenxue]

I AM SO GLAD YOU INCLUDED GUARDIAN TALES!! Although I do have something to say about your comment on the f2p, I think it is actually quite free-to-play friendly it gives you a lot of opportunities to stock up on gacha currency and it's a a lot easier to earn gacha pulls than other trending gacha games I've played ex. Honkai, Genshin, Blue Archive etc.
