I Played Wuthering Waves For 7 Days To See If Its Better Than Genshin! 

Correction THAT final boss was in fact NOT the Threnodian 😂 the Threnodian IS the EYE-like portal above us while we are fighting the boss. The boss we fought is actually a Puppet. You can barely see the strings in the cutscene.

idk if it will kill genshin but it actually killed genshin for me.

playing genshin again after playing wuwa for a week makes me hate genshin

Someone who actually finished the story and gave a fair review!? Thank you sir.

This was the most normal reaction to Camellya I’ve seen in my life

I love the war arc so much. Like how 4 of them went for the main mission until there's only 2 of them, then finally, the MC is the last one standing. It was all funneled to the MC and its exhilarating. PLUS JIYAN'S ASSIST TF. It gives so much thrill to me since I love playing games like DMC, metal gear reveangeance. It's fun, rewarding and veryyy good.

I don't hate Genshin, but I don't think I'll play again any time soon. Wuthering waves just feel like home. You grind to improve characters, yes, but you don't wait for resin to refresh and then spend the entire time decimating the same enemies inside the same space. With Wuwa, farming for your artifacts is integrated with the exploration so you can do two things at the same time. No resin caps, no monotonous domains, just pure unadulterated zoomies with some side of mayhem. I especially like those hologram bosses because they give you a chance to play the game with skills instead of builds. It's like Kuro managed to fit casual players and hardcore gamers into one single game without disrupting the other. You are not held back by what resonators you can mix and match in a team, since no elemental reactions will dictate your roster. Hence, there's no true meta because even if you have a loaded team, you're still at risk of getting wasted unless you know what you're doing. It's an excellent game, and I hope they keep this up in the years to come.

The movement alone has made it hard to go back to Genshin. Running up the walls is so fucking satisfying. Also it’s refreshing to have a developer who actually listens to the community.

one thing i really liked about punishing gray raven's story is the highlight is mainly a normal person trying their best to survive, to win or to not grief no matter the situation only for you to witness them die. everytime they do that, i always tear up and get super motivated and want to pulverize the boss. when they did it in act 6, i was so happy. if there's a take away from sometimes reading stories in pgr is the hope and will to live is being passed directly to me. i know it's very cringe but i'm a very negative person who only believes in my own hard work. when things don't go as expected i always have the urge to just abandon my dreams. seeing these fiction characters suffer more than me and never gave up always give me a sliver of strength to grind again. im also closer to my dream now btw. got into webtoons as a background artist. now working as a game level designer. i'm very grateful i didn't give up. even if i get a normal job after these. im proud i was able to step on the industry.

Zhongli is a mainstay on my genshin team because of his shield and i just thought i was really bad at dodging (and games in general). It took playing wuwa and getting confident to see that maybe i wasn't the problem. Parrying and dodging is so satisfying and i want to get better and actually feel like i can over time.

Oh yeah the yinlin companion quest is funny as if you play your cards and choose the right quotes she ends up flirting with you and teasing you

I was very skeptical when WW released (playing Genshin since release) and haven't given it much thought as well Yesterday I finally gave it a try, just to see how the game feels like ...the movement is SO much more fluid than that of Genshin, the Combat is on another level, the music and scenery is beautiful! Never thought that WW would be this much fun to play...and I only played for roughly 3-4h Starting Genshin today for dailies...it felt so bad, like everything felt slow and redundant 😂 WW is really good competition for Genshin and I like that

After 2 weeks of wuthering waves I just couldn't play genshin anymore and uninstalled it 😂😂

I can’t with him naming things 😭 he just called inferno rider “motorcycle monster” HELP 5:29

I really liked the 1.1 cutscene that dragon fight scene was fire

5:45 dude that vergil judgement cut end really got me

WuWa's infinite sprint when not in combat ruined exploration in Genshin for me, like how is such a small yet game changing QoL feature not in currently the biggest money maker ever? (as far as games go) I bet it's to sell "exploration characters" that have special movement or special sprints.

I played wuthering for a few days and didn’t realise the quality of life changes until I went back to genshin and ran for a few minutes

This review is better than IGN review on wuthering waves

I'm so glad that you destroyed the boss for that guys really hot mom

this was a really good video dude !!! i think wuwa and genshin are both cool games and there's no use comparing a 4+ year game to a recently out of beta game lol

I love your enthusiasm my guy, loving this game day by day, here’s hoping I get to be a Content Creator like you and make the people laugh 😂 👍🏾❤️

Genshin and WuWa are a bit different because WuWa is more focused on combat which I have to say is way better than Genshin. If you didn't know, Kuro is known for its insane combat because of its other game, Punishing: Gray Raven which its story system and dorm system are like Honkai Impact 3rds. It kind of of progresses like it to so idk if u would be interesting in doing the story much. I suggest watching solo boss videos on the game to see how insane it really is. Wuthering Waves's developing team is also more open to improvement globally unlike Genshin, where their team likes to ignore the global server and only listen to the China side. (Which for the past like 4 years hasn't really said anything until 4.3 where they went ham during lantern rite) One thing I feel is unfair when comparing these 2 games together is the fact that Genshin has been around for 4 years, and Wuthering Waves came out like 2-3ish weeks ago. Also, if you've been reading things like the mail and catching up on twitter or other social media's, day by day bugs have been reported and they are constantly at work trying to fix it as fast as possible. As COMPENSATION FOR THE BUGS, they gave us 1 million credits, like 30-40 standard banner pulls, 20 limited banner pulls, 5 weapon banner pulls, a free five star, and way more including level up materials for Echoes, Weapons, Characters, and Talents/Traces. Way more than Genshin could give with all their Anniversaries combined, and cane we talk about the fact that these rewards are mainly from bugs? But at the same time why do people like to compare games so much? It seems so hard to just enjoy both games without having arguments that lead to this, and that, and become one huge mess. Fun fact: Before Wuthering Waves was even supposed to have double banners, they had received so much feedback at this point on bugs and things to improve on, that as more compensation, they shortened the released date of Yinlin by around 7ish days. This is why Jiyan is on the banner but has less time left than Yinlin. Very Gkad you're enjoying the game, and hope you can create more content for it as it is also my current favorite game, and being really popular, it even broke Genshin's record of money earned on 1.0 release which was not something I was expecting due to the sales from PGR. Btw, pgr is also really generous.

I feel like in WuWa you can play at your own pace without needing to sacrifice so much time of your day. The dailies only takes less than 10 mins to complete and maybe 20 mins for the wave plates to be emptied. Explorations and leveling your data bank sure consumes a lot of work and effort that will require a lot of time to reach atleast level 15 but it was never meant to be easy anyway since the level of your data bank is directly proportional to the rarity of echoes that you can farm. I love how the devs gives as a choice to grind on the data bank by letting us hunt/detech specific echoes that we need to get which makes the grind easier. I also like the fact that even though your characters are still weak, the game still provides a way for you to progress in the story. For me, these things aswell as the freedom that this game gives to its players is what separates it from genshin. Also, the compensation rewards from the devs are really insane aswell as the character designs. Overall, in my opinion WuWa has a lot of potential and I don't have any doubts that it will fall behind genshin in the future. WuWa is loved and adored by many people and haters should try to play this game rather than constantly comparing it to genshin.

hearing my friend talking about genshin rngs and other things that kuro did better makes me glad i never tried genshin

We're all just waiting for the next expansion. The one I loved in wuthering waves is it feels mature than genshin. The character voice lines the interaction with the quest is good.

Man i tried playing genshin again after trying this game and it just didn't feel same lmao, i sold my genshin account and will be sticking with wuwa for now

A little sneak of a background sound of narwhal on the first cutscene is genius.

To be honest, I quit genshin a few months ago, after the after the infamous 3 wish livestream, so I'm going to be biased, but Kuro really nailed the combat and the movement. Their gacha rate is fairer, the guarantee on the weapon banner is nice and the sheer amount of compensation rewards we've been given these past 2 weeks makes every reward genshin's ever given seem paltry in comparison. The voice acting needs improvement, although there has been some talk about this already, and I really like how a lot of the bosses aren't simply bullet sponges.

*Playing genshin again just to 1 shot boss and feel good*

the new mt.Firmament update has a SICK story

Not him choosing Jianxin because she was the one shown first in the selector 😭

That one God in the Intro reminds me of Lucia on Kuro's Another Game "PGR/Punishing: Gray Raven" ngl

good review this is how you review games not just like echo chambering this game like this , that game like that

This video was really fair and unbiased in reviewing the game. Thanks a lot. Would you mind if I translate it into Chinese and share it on Bilibili to reach a wider audience? I think many people would enjoy it. :)

I ended up subscribing to you because you reply to pretty much every comments here and even holding up a conversation lol 😅

wuthering waves❌ Genshin Updates Waiting Room✅

I pretty sure i arent the only person to feel and got this mistake playing wuwa i climb every ledge cause they have the vaulting system and when i return i was like why i cant climb this ledge by vaulting over it and forgot genshin exploration is not as good i have to find an actual alternate route since characters made exploration better and genshin dont wanna bless my account with kazuha or scara so what did i do well i proceed to climb the mountain manually and genshin climb speed is so slow that is better to slow climb if u think is too high and will run outta stamina cause spam jumping in climb makes u lose more stamina which idk why they did that when this game is supposed to be an exploration type open world game lmao the exploration is so slow

Now I'm feeling proud of myself that i can play multiple games together without comparing them. Everything has it's own unique features. I play Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact sometimes, Wuthering Waves, Black Desert Online, Journey To Immortality is permanent for me though.

Genshin is like a bad ex you had who didn't treat you right and now when you have gotten a nice person you start questioning things 😭 and can't go back and accept the things she did now that you have experienced real stuff 😔

I play both. This is my take. World environment - genshin Exploration - wuwa Gameplay - wuwa Character design - genshin Character quality - wuwa Casual - genshin Challenging - wuwa Story - genshin but we can't really judge cuz wuwa is only story worth 2 patches I like both games, they're similar but different at the same time.

This was very entertaining to watch. I hope you do more videos like this covering Wuwa! :>

i agree to you alot as someone who's a genshin player. i find it ironic that they favor their other game called Star Rail like it's their most favorite youngest child even though i know not everyone is gonna love turn-based games (i don't like it as well but the characters are gorgeous!) i realized that after playing wuwa for days, exploring in genshin felt tiring and a mock in my face whenever i get less and less primos and not enough area's to explore. idk why but i find it really cool and heart-warming for wuwa to keep adding new events while you play like damn bro more rewards for me TT

more like this please for all of us too lazy to watch stories 😊

I don't hate Wuwa and I was ready to finish the 1.0 story to give it a fair chance to win my interest (as a story and character person) but I quit after the fifth(?) part (after the archive fight with Scar). I wasn't a particular fan of game pace and writing up till that point but what they did there with writing was almost an insult to me as an audience (and I'm shocked I haven't seen a soul notice, I guess I'm demanding). We went from point A to point B, all the time representing the main character's journey, following a clue and discovering a hidden place, and then we are given a "plot twist" based on us, the audience, being told by the character we navigate, that there were three days between A and B and that an important meeting and trap plotting happened in the meantime. You can't retrospectively separate the player from the character they play in terms of what they experience. You always have to give a clear sign the character will now experience something the audience won't know for now (using dark screen with some note, usually) Like planning Nahida rescue in Genshin. We knew it happened, we just didn't know the contents to discover it on the go. And even if they did it here, I would consider it a very bad writing because meeting Jinshi is so significant there is no excuse to just ommit it in order to deliver a surprise later. That's just not how wriitng works. Not to mention that the whole clue seeking has zero sense if Rover meets Jinshi before reaching the archive themselves. The game was basically lying to us there and that's something I have a problem to forgive.

Good on you for actually saying it's better/worse than x rather than fence sitting.

I never thought that withering waves’s release would piss me off more than genshin’s lack of rewards LMAO. It’s been over a month and I still can’t access the game (even though my device is compatible ) JIYAN’S GOING NOWWW😭😭😭😭

Really cool vid! Nicely made and love your review after actually finishing the story. Hope we get more of these type of contents

i can relate, after playing wuwa i've been really addicted to it, because i really loved the fighting style and its easier to farm for good echos, it became my new favorite game

Definitely agree with you, genshin for the last two years feels like a filler patch after a filler patch with useless boring characters interaction with the same thing happening over and over, and it’s rare to find a good event or a story quest usually the cool stuff always gets locked behind a silent quest or a book that you will never notice, or dain story quests that you will never see after a whole year, the story is so so slow and only move forward after a long time and nothing feels exciting anymore I’m just tired of waiting for an interesting story for years, I hope wuwa doesn’t do this stuff or at least don’t over do it like genshin. That’s for lore and i know not so many people cares about it.

Old Engine which works best on any mobile or PC vs New Engine that is better but requires a lot. I play on mobile and the truth is Genshin never made it heat but WuWv does. It's obviously an issue with new vs old. Can't change the tool now. So this is not a simple issue like people say WuWv is changing a lot of things. Genshin would need to build whole game again on Unreal Engine 4(or 5 which is the latest). But cause they can't do it does not mean they have issue. If a new game looks better it's is obvious that you would like it more. But we can't force Genshin to make it look better now. We should have some decent knowledge about game development before asking about it. While, WuWv is new and has a lot of opportunity to improve early on, it also has the more requirements due to which it can run at best settings in a good PC, whereas Genshin which runs on Unity runs smoothly on multiplatforms even with worse specs. Plus the WuWv has so less content right now it can update it much easily than Genshin. And obviously as a new game it is giving 2 free 5 stars and 100's plus standard and 30 plus golden pulls for free. And it was obvious that to attract the gamers they would give better farming results than Genshin. But after 2 years they would surely become same like Starrail, though they will be better than current Gensin. But all the rest of the problems players have with Genshin apart from wishes and rewards, all the other issues are just like a child's tantrum. It's not as easy to change gameplay, nor skipping stories make it interesting for players to keep in touch with the plot, and better graphics would require them to either completely make the game on new Engine or atleast make it impossible to play on mobile or low end PC for their own Engine. They have a lot of data to build too. Everyone says WuWv has less space than Genshin but it will surely go upto 30GB in 2 years. The issue of Genshin not giving better rewards is the only big issue that needs attention and can be acheived easily by them, rest all of the problems people make are not that easy to conclude.😢 Genshin started for mobile gamers but had PC and PS options, but WuWv did the opposite by focussing on PC gamers. None of people who make excuses not to like Genshin have actually played it for months and have understood the worldbuilding part cause they only care to complete a game fast and do serious combat more, which is not what Genshin ever promised to players. Everyone streamer just talk more and are less interested in worldbuilding part. Genshin made enemies strong some complained and when they made them weak others complained. It's hard to please everyone. I am playing both and I have to say for how much I liked the changef WuWu brought, I am not too much interested in it.

I heard about verina being OP and then reealise I got a free 5 star and said SAY NO MORE ! Then I got calcharo 10 pulls in . then I got rank 5 weapons for calcharo . Alittle grind and I got yinlin first try at like 30 wish in only the weapons for yinlin took time and grind after that I created an other team with encore sanjuana and second heal girl . All of that in 1 week . This is crazy and I never achieved this in years of playing genshin .

also dw man the monk lady you pick is pretty useful ngl haha she’s a shielder :DD I even find it hard to replace her with calcharo soon (I want calcharo but I don’t have him yet because I’m f2p ofc)

Delta, will you play more Wuthering Waves? Have you got Jiyan? ✨

I started playing WuWa probably 2 or 3 days after its release and in the beginning it was rather clunky, so I left it for a while (because adulting also exists unfortunately), but now that Kuro has fixed up a lot of the bugs (if not all) it just feels so damn satisfying! If I have to be completely honest it just feels refreshing, especially the fighting mechanics and all that. I haave both HSR and Genshin downloaded, but honestly I haven't touched them in probably two months now. I don't even wanna think how much stuff I'll have to update and download, which in itself is just .... appalling. Anyways, love the review man, it's lighthearted, honest and was absolutely pleasant to watch!

I still do Genshin dailies while I mainly play WuWa. Man it feels like such a chore. Wdym I can't use my grapple hook and run on walls. Genshin story and world design is the only reason I'm still playing.

i actually like those 2d platforming levels; i hope they give us some of that in the future.

I’ve been playing WW since release and it’s so fun.

rule34 growing results suggest it wont die anytime soon 🤣🤣

The game is decent, but they decided to go with a safe Genshin clone route. Everything from story and pacing and characters and even game mechanics is inspired or adopted from Genshin. Even the pulls cosy 160 gems, 1600 for 10 pull. Anyways, it doesn't mean it's a bad game it means it stopped being unique, and no longer dark and mature

Glad u enjoyed it!! but I man I died a bit inside when u skip Scar quest, holly. It was one of the best one in the game

Ey man don't forget to mention that Jianxin helped a lot in your journey

I used to play genshin on my brother's account for the first six months of the game, playing WuWa is kinda decent since i used to play Tower of Fantasy for a Year. I kinda addicted because of the game play that i became so rusted at PGR

Great video, glad you listened to your community and is willing to try out new games. You've earned yourself a new subscriber :D

Gotta say you missed an amazing story with an amazing voice over when you skipped to fight with Scar. Watch a video about it if you can, the voice over is awesome.

I missed the “attack him” option while I was doing the scar part of the quest and I had to do that puzzle but tbh it was pretty interesting.

I'm a f2p player i've played genshin before wuwa came out and it's impossible to get 5 stars characters meanwhile wuthering waves gave away 5 characters like candy during halloween. I have all of them so far

I test genshin and it took me a week to quit it. But Wuthering waves Is a *chef kiss* If only genshin like Ww, I've would be a loyal player now.

Bro had to sneak in “And she’s kinda cute” for that girl at the start 😭 (Real)

maybe its just me but I feel unlike the other genshin "killers" WuWa actually has potential.

That Lingyang part is a part of the main story-

Do you have any thoughts on producing a sequel? After the latest update of Wuthering Waves, the plot and presentations have ascended to new levels, making it incredibly compelling.

I remember starting out in genshin. It took days to get to level 10 without any major quests being done. I compared that to Wuthering Waves and I got to level 10 in about 20 minutes. WHAT?!

5:52 yep, I knew it

1st time play this game - auto is awesome quest and combat.. if i have to compare with my experience first time play genshin in day one , was meh because genshin took very slow giving me the hype.

4 years later, genshin MC: wtf is it, where it comes from, why old a*s archons know nothing about it, barely any info about it's powers or where tf is heading, why the sibling joined the bad guys. One month after release WuWa: we know what a kickass is the MC, where it comes from and why is heading where is heading ( i am trying to avoid spoilers here). To me that's enough to stick with it. I like long stories as long as they MOVE FORWARD instead of in circle leading to nowhere. The rest is just a matter for Kuro of improving along the way.

2:56 THE SILENCE IM CRYING

The only genshin killer is Hoyo themselves 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kuro does have another game called punishing: gray raven but they didn't advertise it correctly and so the game died out as soon as it got released. apparently there were some other problems with punishing: gray raven that i'm to lazy to look into honestly.

Like. You have the basic attack, magic and ulti with a cooldown. But also you can run on walls, you have a sprint and your glider RIGHT AT THE START learn other games. Also there's the grappling hook which works in the right places.

I have nothing against Wuthering Waves. I play both games. But how come my laptop can run both of Hoyo's games at the same time and when I try to play Wuthering Waves it starts lagging, stopping, freezing???? (New laptop btw, like 2 months old) I understand it's a new game, some launch problems, but I can not agree with all the people praising it, either all of them have the highest quality PC ever made or they just got lucky. I am so annoyed,I really wanted a new game to play on, but this is not it. Genshin still wins cause I can at least play it.😶

I think WuWa is more generous to the new player. Because they give a lot of present for us and you can select a 5 stars char you want in the beginning. Gameplay is fun and for me, f2p friendly because the award is really good and sometimes I didn't realize that I already have enough currency to pull from the banner. Fast pace fighting and collecting echoes are really fun to do as well. Oh yeah one more thing, THE MC IS REALLY USEFULL AND REALLY WORTH IT TO BE UPGRADED.

PLEASE WHAT IS THAT SONT AT 3:08 I NEED IT IN MY LIFE😭😭😭

the skip button is the game changer for me honestly😂😂 idc about those side quests npc's

I literally only downloaded because of yinlin. And i didnt have high expectations but then i played the game the story and the combat mechanics and the traversal was just wow. A breath of fresh air. See in genshin its the same basic cycles of e skill, buff buff, swap character burst attack (big numbers) then rinse and repeat. But in wuthering waves theres all these mechanics like outro skill, intro skill, and the dodge system actually serves a purpose. I logged in genshin today but just completed the event and logged off.

I mean it doesn't take 7 days, just take 7 minutes and go through everything and you know the difference.

i love this dude they’re actually replying to their comments lol that’s a w

this is the exact way i would commentate a story its so goofy

My 7 year old nephew narrates his entire day exactly the same way you do.

So much rewards , hot ladies , no big power differences , resinless farming , ease of movement these all things makes it hard for me to turn back to genshin

thanks because I skipped everything 😊

Just because of the fact that you bothered to play through the first 14 ish hours just to make a proper review i respect it. Sub from me and hopefully from many more cheers mate

after playing WuWa. you'll realize alot of things you're missing due to Genshin bullshits by HoYo giving you mid QoL.

Wuwa became much better after the recent update with less lags and overall smooth gameplay and the skip button but if in case I have to delete one game it’ll be wuwa cause I’ve invested too much time and money into genshin to leave it now. I have to get to the fuckass island in the sky while collecting the fatui like Pokémon

I also played ToF 2.0.. I mean WuWa for 7 days 😅 then stopped playing completely.. still contemplating whether I'll keep playing or uninstall it 😂

I wish the weathering wave community wasn’t so toxic, I’m waiting for the ps5 release, So I’m checking what people think, And all I’m reading is “Genshin could never”, and a lot of excuses made for the bad lunch, Like been excited about a skip button, because the story sucks, Like didn’t they rewrite it, And I’m a story guy, So I hope it gets better.

Play Punishing: Grey Raven. It’s one of the IPs made by kuro. You'll love the gameplay of Lucia: crimson weave. Oh and the music is top notch. Check out Narwhal

Scar is awesome yinlin is perfect, baizhu is a cold lady, Rover is badass. Ngl she is badass. Only issue she should have VA everywhere !

THE VERGIL ENTRANCE LMAO

I was skeptical at first, then gave it a try,,,, holy shit it was awesome ❤❤❤ and i never had a limited character with its weapon ever in genshin. So yeah im now addicted to this game.
