I'll share my thoughts on everything from its mature anime-inspired style and immersive world, to its fast-paced, combo-heavy combat and the unique Echo system. We'll talk about what the game does right—like stunning exploration and satisfying gameplay—and where it could improve, like the grindy gacha system and lack of endgame content. Whether you're a Genshin fan or new to the genre, Wuthering Waves offers a fresh, exciting experience. Tune in for a spoiler-free, down-to-earth review of what makes this game stand out and why it might be worth your time!

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world action RPG set in the medieval kingdom of Bohemia during the early 1400s. Players step into the shoes of Henry, the son of a blacksmith, whose peaceful village is destroyed by marauding invaders. Driven by a desire for justice and revenge, Henry embarks on a perilous journey to restore his life and fight against political intrigue, war, and betrayal.The game features a realistic combat system, where precision and tactics matter, as well as a deep story-driven experience filled with complex characters, moral choices, and historically accurate settings. Unlike typical fantasy RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance focuses on historical accuracy with no magic or fantastical elements. Instead, it offers a gritty, immersive world where survival, swordplay, and diplomacy are key to navigating a war-torn medieval society.
