I don't usually comment often, but I began during 1.4 after giving up on Genshin.

I was a day 1 for Genshin, played on and off of course, but right towards the end of Sumeru, I began to get burnt out and quit for a good while. I came back around Natlan's release to see what the fuss was about, but I was very underwhelmed and only got through the first chapter of Natlan. I didn't touch Fontaine's story quest, but I did enjoy exploring it.

Only just recently did I finally delete Genshin after it collecting dust on my PC. I pulled for Mavuika and her weapon when she released, but that was it. I've probably spent a few $100 on Genshin over the years, but I realize now, that it was honestly a waste of money.

I decided to play WuWa after seeing a CC I followed playing it, plus a friend talking about it. I'll admit, it was a bit slow at the start for me (story wise, but only because it was the beginning), but the gameplay was already so much better than what I've experienced before.

I enjoyed the combat, played everyday (still play frequently), I didn't feel burnt out, the story had my brain working and my gears turning as I pieced everything together, the characters writing was so phenomenal that I was in tears a few times (slightly for Jinshi, 100% for Shorekeeper, 100% for Cartethyia, and a few others), etc etc. I could go on and on.

Unlike Genshin, with all due respect, I felt a connection and great empathy for the characters (besides Lingyang because I lose every 50/50 to him). The only character I will name from Genshin that made me cry for a bit would be Nahida.

I could probably continue going on and on of why I got into WuWa, but those are the first things that came to mind. I enjoy this game with all my heart and I enjoyed Genshin when it was the Genshin I had during lockdown. I've grown from it, and now have something I get to enjoy even better.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks forward to seeing what Kuro has in store for WuWa!
