Wuthering Waves just came out, and unlike many I decided to go in almost completely blind.
I had watched a couple of trailers, but knew practically nothing outside of the general premise and some brief clips of the combat. I was excited, but wary.
While many have enjoyed the game so far, the launch has been plagued with technical problems from day one, and there have been some seriously concerning issues and horrendous mistakes by the developer since then. At times things got so bad that some people even began to speculate whether the game might not survive…
So, is this a game worth playing? Was it doomed to be just some filler between Genshin patches, or does it stand in its own right? And what the heck are the developers doing?
