Wuthering Waves, a new Gacha game from Kuro Games, is facing technical issues at launch, prompting an apology and compensation from the developer.

Zenless Zone Zero, a new gacha game set in the world of New Eridu, offers a refreshing departure from the typical gacha game formula. The game features a unique story and presentation style, with voice lines for dialog options and a vomic-style storytelling format. The characters are quirky and fun, and the combat system is reminiscent of Honkai Impact 3rd. Unlike other gacha games, Zenless Zone Zero does not require constant character pulls or rely on pay-to-win mechanics. However, the grid exploration aspect can feel tedious and time-consuming. Overall, the game shows promise and is expected to be F2P friendly upon its release in 2024.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, a gacha game that aims to streamline the Final Fantasy VII compilation, is shaping up to be well-designed but struggles to deliver on its original pitch. The game covers different gameplay elements and genres from the Final Fantasy VII series, including turn-based combat, third-person shooting, and cutscenes. The closed beta test revealed a new narrative called The First Soldier, featuring a young Sephiroth. Combat combines elements from the original Final Fantasy VII and FF7 Remake, with the addition of sigil and shift mechanics. However, the menu interface is cumbersome, and the lack of controller support is a major drawback. Overall, Ever Crisis is a solid gacha game but falls short of providing a comprehensive overview of the Final Fantasy VII series.

While Honkai Star Rail is more generous than Genshin Impact at launch, most of the resources are one-time things, and the game still monetizes FOMO.
