[Xlice]

lots of blood sweat and tears went into this one and no holding back on my thoughts (POSITIVES & NEGATIVES)
thank you to those who have been patient for it, and to those new to the channel, welcome to my very nerdy and excessively information dense reviews
i have high hopes for this game, but that also means i will call out things i believe need urgent changing or else they won't be received well on launch

[Hamizannn]

This is such a high quality review of this game. No bias, straight to the point, explaining the mechanics and nuances of the game into a very easily digestible format without missing out on important points.. I think this is by far one of the best reviews of wuwa out there. Thank you for making this! That felt like a 5 min video!

Also, man.. Really cant wait for this game to be released. I recently started playing pgr, and honestly, i'd say it is the best action gacha game out there rn. I kinda regretted not starting sooner. But i'll for sure be starting wuwa on day one!

35:51 "Monke is monke."

Truly an intellectual analysis! Love it.

QTE energy is displayed by the circle next to the HP bar and skill resource.

[SixtyFourBlades]

My number one concern about WuWa is that Tuning Unlock system on Echoes because I can see that causing burnout REAL QUICK.

[clumzy]

17:14 When it indicate with white waves when the QTE ready, it only means that character will do their Intro skill. If u want the leaving character to do their Outro skill, the circle near the character's health bar should be full.

Finally, a review that isn't just "OMG NEW GENSHIN KILLER???". I learned so much from this one video, despite having seen several reviews before. I also appreciate you drawing attention to the more niche aspects of the game, like the sound design. I will definitely be sending this video to my buddies who want to understand the game better. Great work 👏

[EddyTorrent]

Gotta be one of the best wuthering reviews out bro. I can feel the effort put into this one. Thanks for taking your time and giving Kuro a solid take on their game. I truly hope it does well on release 😊

[dastergamingwithedz]

There are plenty of things I've seen that I like (*cough* Jiyan *cough*) but I'm still feeling pretty detached from this game because I've only seen others play it. I need to experience it for myself to judge whether it's something I can see playing in the long-term. That said, this is a great in-depth review! Thanks so much for the hard work, Mr. Xlice.

I'm going to say I fall into the "casual" category, so it's going to be interesting how the combat will appeal to me personally! I like a good challenge every now and then, but hopefully they don't make regular farming (e.g., character leveling materials) that much difficult. I also think the story has a lot of potential, with the concept of sound and soundwaves (the Resonators have soundwave tattoos/marks, it looks like + the Echo system, etc.). Overall, I'm pretty excited! I hope it turns out to be a good game, no matter how long it captures my interest. ;)

You can really tell how much work you put into this detailed review into this new upcoming gacha monster and I believe it truly paid off. I've watched many other reviews but nothing compares to yours at all! I know we all appreciate it so much. I've been back and forth with thoughts on this game but I also agree that overall, it's starting off looking pretty good, but there are still my own issues that I'm worried about personally like the combat being a bit too difficult or complicated for my personal playstyle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us.

Thank you for the long review Mr. Xlice! I really like aspects of WW but haven’t quite settled on if I want to get it myself yet, but I’m leaning towards yes, so reviews really help :)

[zolore]

Yeah but PGR had their own Cursed Waves (Roguelike) and Abyss, they just did what they already had in PGR their previous game lol. Other than that, great video ^^

[Sync]

Man is quite rare to see some good game reviews in youtube like this, keep up the good vids man 🔥🔥🔥

[mrwhitecloud]

This is my first time encountering your channel, and I'm really impressed. Thank you for preparing a straightforward review of key elements of the game. This really helped me understand where Wuthering Waves is at currently, and what potential changes to keep an eye out for in the future. I'm very excited to play this at launch!

29:00 hey cbt2 players here, while those 5 are almost always the good stats, it also depends on the characters, for example Chixia. She is a basic attack characters, so I'd argue basic attack damage bonus is really great for her.
Although that doesn't mean that I am comfortable with the artifact system right now, it is pretty hellish to find the good substat. Man even going for main stat is pretty rough, especially on the "3" cost echo. One type of monster can have 3 different type, as in it can be spectro, fusion or other things. And it's really really hard to get fusion echo that have fusion damage bonus main stat. It's hell.

[raiden]

I like this review.. Unbiased.. Unlike some other reviews

[AzureAetherXx]

The artifact equivalent grind sounds kind of miserable considering the range of stats available. It seems like its also a major feel bad that you can't even tell if a piece is even worth leveling until after you have leveled it. If that is going to be the case I think that the EXP you get for foddering a piece should be higher to compensate. Just a suggestion.

Either way great review looking forward to the game.

[claptrap]

thx for the review vid. been looking forward to this game

[notapllicable]

14:40 not to be a downer but be wary of these types of features since getting free dupes of characters can mean nothing if the game is balanced around having them, i.e. dupes of characters are a requirement to beat content instead of optional

[FlameSparkZ]

WuWa looks really good, looking forward for its release. But I hope they do something about the Echo leveling system, like refund stat tuners if we use an Echo as Exp.
