great game I enjoy the game. Have similar experience with gaming pc with RTX 4060ti. I tried running on my red magic 9 pro it runs alright maybe 70-80% alright beside the often crashes. Still i will give the over all game 5 or 7 out of 10 . Enjoy the combat and the world. the Story is kinda 4/10 even with the ending for the arc and the music is 4 or 5 /10. Will continue to support the game.

i dont try wuwa because i know my pc so much that my PC succk , what are u hopping for gen 4th pc with 8GB DDR3 memory + secondary use of gtx650 with dead fan and im just cover it with pc case fan lmao XD , even my hommies on discord with their gaming setup still need to lower the graphic setting to play it smoothly. im gonna try ZZZ instead, i already trust hoyo for their optimalization. i no comment for wuwa because i dont play it

I'm sad, I was so into the game because of the combat. It ran smoothly for me at launch, I got Jiyan, I bought the monthly pass, then they did the quick update and it's been a slideshow ever since. Combat can't save the game when it stutters so hard you can't control the game. All the free stuff is useless if the game doesn't run. They somehow made it run worse. And the story is already bad, made worse by the fact it took me 3 days to do the last story section, the part that's supposed to be hype, because of stuttering. I don't even care to login anymore, it's like there's a new problem every day making it worse and the combat can't hard carry all these issues for me.

may i ask your pc spec buddy ? i just curious about the issue only affect to mid-high pc or it just a random, because some people said it run normally but some people also said it bugged/stutter/glitch etc. i just think maybe this game needs ultra gaming pc to run smoothly . i dont know im just guessing

Solid game for me. I'd give it a good 7/10.
As someone with a very good PC, I experience minimal issues with the game. Still, I consider myself an outlier because most people won't have my setup.
While I do have a bone to pick with stamina and all that, in the end, this is a gacha game. I'd be arguing with a wall.
Most of what I dislike is UI and QoL stuff.
Items should have their rarity easily displayed. As someone who is partially colorblind, the color coded system threw me off at first.
Not being able to look at future ascension costs. It's really weird not knowing what my characters or weapons need until they reach the level cap.
Locking synthesis to the Synthesizer. Let us do it in a menu like HSR.
Aside from those, I do have thoughts on progression and economy.
We could get more XP and Credits from combat. It feels very bad to barely get Credits and XP from combat that is fairly intensive.
Also, I still don't know if the game's economy is too expensive, or if I'm just in that stage of the game in which Credits are scarce. I bought a bunch of mats from the Pharmacist and Weapons vendors and noticed a huge chunk of my money gone.
It makes sense to spend money to bypass exploration and stamina, but it felt ridiculous.
Potentially spicy take warning incoming below:
I think the biggest thing about WuWa is maybe it's not what some people wanted.
I don't mean that in a derogatory way toward Kuro, WuWa, nor their hard work into the game. This morning, at least in my time zone, they released a statement addressing issues and their solutions.
I think some people concocted a version of Wuthering Waves in their minds, a headcanon if you will, and the game failed to live up to their (impossible) expectations.
Reading a vocal minority of people be unhappy with anything and everything, blowing up issues out of proportion, and the constant Genshin comparisons, are all very tiring. I left the Discord server, official subreddit, and leaks channel. I check the latter every once in a while for updates, but I don't participate in it anymore.
