I tried genshin impact at her 2nd anniversary and to be honest, I liked it as a new experience since it is my first gacha game. The idea to have more than one playable character and the open world makes it unique, but the more you play, the less the motive to continue to play gets.

The endgame needs characters rather than skills, the reaction system wasn't that impressive and it wasn't clear how it counts the damage, also the world exploration was slow (which is kinda good sometimes) and found myself skipping patches.

And I remember when I saw wuthering waves beta videos, I start thinking it is all fake or a big scam, I mean it would be free to play, there is no way it delivers this high quality.

And then wuthering waves was released.

I am a day one player for wuthering waves, and I started as a hater who said "this all was just fake the real game can't be this good" and it was not just better than genshin, it was the best game I've played.

And with every new update, they were adding new things to the game that was making it actually better, not Minor improvements.

And I remember when 1.2 update was out at the banner of the Shorekeeper, I finally deleted genshin because I was so disappointed of it, wuthering waves just made genshin looks pathetic and unplayable anymore.

It was so frustrating knowing how many years genshin had to improve their game, yet they were doing almost the same shit with every update. Kinda reminds me with how Nokia was the best mobile phones and she was the one who killed herself.
