not a fan of you doing a "Is it worth playing?" of a game that sponsored you. there is no way we'll get a neutral stance on the pros/cons. this would fit better as a showcase kinda video imo.

[ayukuro]

I was really hoping he would understand how the combat actually works :D The orb system is like a connect 3, you need to stack up multiple orbs and make your best to connect three of the same color.

[FrizFroz]

This is the kind of game that gets even better with time. The early chapters can be a bit of a slog, but the story, gameplay, music, and difficulty are taken up a notch with each new update. Story missions do get longer later on, but the meat and potatoes of the game lies in the boss fights and other game modes like Warzone and Pain Cage, where you fight hordes of mobs and bosses and the combat really shines. No other action mobile game pumps me up nearly as much as PGR's endgame Norman War and Babel Tower (looking at all of Mihoyo's IPs and ToF as a base for comparison).

Btw, you can turn off 9S's hacking game if you tire of it, it'll just be a nuke.

[Jackie_Tikki_Tavi]

Definitely prefer this type of combat over most other things when i want something fast-paced. Found this after looking into Wuthering Waves which looks just as epic, if not more.

[eclipsewaves]

These people need to start playing PGR before saying "oHh iT's a hOnkAi iMpacT rIp-ofF" and "gEnsHin iMpact iS beTter". PGR's gameplay and OSTs are objectively better than both of those games.

Probably the only gacha game that I respect as long as they keep their feet on the ground.

Combat is innovative and extremely satisfying, specifically the 3 ping system, the dodge and parry matrix, as well as the QTEs. Great boss design. Story is dark and good, albeit meandering at earlier chapters, it gets really good though, like the current Lamia quest and the Selena one. Gacha system is probably the fairest I've ever seen in the industry. But still a gacha though. Music is top-tier, specially if you love trance music. The world-building is convincing, but I think attention should be paid while reading the visual novel. Otherwise, it will feel somehow unbelievable. Probably one of the most important factor for me is how communicative the developers are to their players.

I think this review doesn't do it justice, the points of difference aren't highlighted enough, specially the 3 ping system, the fair gacha monetization, and the aforementioned. Cause without emphasizing those, PGR will just look like a generic ARPG.

Now let's wait for the PC client.

PGR is a good game to advertise. Game definitely deserves more attention and advertisement.
It literally gives every new character to the player just for doing dailies consistently which take like 10 to 15 minutes per day. You don't have to skip banner.

[Yuuki-SJ]

Been playing this a year noe and i can tell you this game is incredibly generous with ingame currency including a system in the game itself to aquire units wihtout ever spending a dime by doing challenges to get tokens to trade for construct shards and at 50 shards you unlock that construct. Super F2P and fun game with a high skill ceiling later down the line.

Edit: Forgot to mention the pity system is really good too where at 60 pulls its guaranteed an S rank if you havent rolled one before then. Its pretty on par with arknight's pity system but the generous in game currency plus pity puts a big smile on my face

[FallenNoir]

If you play as 2B, gather around 12+ orbs and just spam them through, you will get a little bit of an easter egg - a somewhat remarkable outfit change ;)

[SappyTedjajuwana]

glad you like PGR.
you should try wuthering waves when it released,
it created by the same developer.

[shadowmonarch]

Didn't expect you to review this game i had fun playing this game more then genshin impact felt like I'm playing devil may cry

[ZwalistyDrwal]

To be honest, I don't like anime but I really love this game. The artstyle of it is totally unique compared to any gacha anime game out there, much more toned down and not too over-the-top. Also the combat system is probably one of more technical skill-based gameplays I've ever seen, feels truly rewarding once you get better by for eg. memorizing attack patterns of enemies. And to all that, add a really mature, rich, & engaging storyline, in which your self-insert character actually plays a significant, central role (that's other thing that I find unique in this game compared to other games of that type). Anyways, can't recommend this game enough, such an underrated gem.

As someone else in the comments said, this video doesn't exactly do justice to this game, not showing how really complex the combat really is.

[frossinaskylor]

For a new character released you can get her 100% every 60 pulls if you pull on the right banner. Those that arent new you can get them, but you only have a 70% chance to do so and 30% chance to get a random s rank character

[eiwhaz-tina]

FINALLY. RAVENS GETTING THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES

[sirdamned]

I feel bad for the people who watch this and get excited because they think Peon is actually giving his honest opinions in a sponsored video, lmao. Give this dude a few shekels and he's immediately your game's biggest fan.

[earthlingx]

@TheLazyPeon
Decent First Impression review.
If you want to fight hordes of enemies go to Challenge tab, then go into Warzone. (the rotation changes every 4 days)

If you want to fight 3 different bosses with increasing difficulty, Challege > Phantom Pain Cage (changes every Monday)

There are also ultra hard events called Babel Tower and Norman that require being in the zone to finish, and even if you whale on the game, the mobs can 1 shot you if you cant dodge properly.

Some fights can reach 5 or even almost 10 minutes depending on how tanky the boss is.

You can also join guilds and engage in guild battles that change every week.

Hope you can play more of the game and create an in-depth review one day.

[SpiderB]

Trust me there are definitely missions that are much longer than those, thosewhoknow.

[KKW]

the game didn't just months ago.... it's been out since the end of you have been missing out on this game :P, orb system connect 3 dots (orbs) and plan for them skillz u want to use/passives etc.... this is a true quality game and soon it's going to have a little sibling, an open world sibling that i hope it outgrows it in popularity and everything else it's called Wuthering Waves see if u can get in the closed beta i think it starts soon

edit : some grammar

[utkarshsh]

Best part is people trying to figure out how the orb system works, let's say the combat is 10 times more intricate than you've understood so far. Like interactions between core passives memories and qtes
