Zenless Zone Zero Review

Zenless Zone Zero reviewed by Sarah Thwaites on PC, also available on PlayStation 5 and mobile.

By leaning into early 2000s nostalgia and then blending it with a stylish vision of the future, Zenless Zone Zero crafts an inimitable world that’s easy to get invested in. Exploring New Eridu and getting to know this charming cast both in and out of combat was a thrilling ride I was keen to keep at for hours on end. It’s not necessarily as deep as many of its gameplay inspirations, and momentum-killing hacking puzzles can sometimes sour the mood – but with exhilarating, approachable combat and many extracurricular activities to take care of, it was always easy to turn a corner and get swept up in the captivating culture nonetheless.

This game's animation is on next level among the other Gacha games, not to mention how smoothly it runs on every platform.

At least it's obvious Hoyo puts the billions of dollars they make back into their games. The gacha model is a bit slimy but damn is the game polished.

Hey, the description says it's also available on Xbox Series X|S. It's not.

Man everyone loves the Victoria Housekeeping characters huh?

Hoyo could have gone the lazy route and milked players for more money, but they decided to make yet another game that pushes the gacha genre foward in a positive way while respecting the player's time and money. The overall vibe of the game is top notch for 90's kids.

This is a game you will either like or downright despise.

The animation in cutscenes and the voice acting is incredible. Great game

[KusogakiRenfir]

This is better than HSR and Genshin imo. It has more style and it's less time consuming to play than the others

[Sklumbo]

Loving the game. Level 34 right now and its just like every other hoyo game, casual and beautiful fun.

[teresmajor]

Game's art direction is on next level

[fionadeonmeister]

Great review. Loving Zenless Zone Zero.. Enjoying the combat and animation for mobile game is peak. Plus the gameplay is so buttery smooth. Plus its cross play for mobile, tablet ps5 and Pc. Cant wait for more patches to come.

[LBPreviews]

Looks like it's worth a try. Love the aesthetics.

[timbridger]

The game has a pacing issue. It's advertised as a combat focused game, yet you spend 70% of your time with TV puzzles and the rest for random slice of life stuff. Also, you can't even admire the characters you buy outside of combat.

[moonlight]

and when you're in an anger mood, this game can really help you to release some steam.

[fieldboyy]

Just started yesterday and loving the game so far. Amazing combat, characters and detail

[MegaRocket]

how can this be considered a proper review when the game just came out smh

[kingcobra]

Dont play this on mobile unless u litteraly have a phone that came out this year it suffers from crashing and is unplayable to most of the mobile player base

[peautifulbenis]

It’s pretty fun. Makes me want to make a purchase to support the devs. Game looks well made

[Channel-zsgg]

Given how badass the game looks and how the enemies look and feel the combat should really smack more but doesnt and this is one of those games where the enemies look cooler than the characters

[nirvana]

so what about the in game purchases or progression system? will it be impossible to progress without purchases or are the purchases more aesthetic in quality?
