What goes wrong
These greedy mf don't care about user experience, you'd be wasting huge amount of time to collect these creds and spend them like crazy in no so random draws, and you can lose them all and got no...
The game itself is alright.. but its actually unplayable due to non stop yapping and horrible writing.
The optimization in this game is absolutely terrible.
its a cool game and i was able to play it for a little bit and really enjoyed it until they seemed to roll an update that just broke the game on linux which is sad, it ran very well using proton...
no matter what i do, it wont let me open the game through steam. it says "steam error please restart your game" everytime.
What goes well
The best gacha game, hands down
(Yes, imma say it, call me hoyoshill all you want, despite me being critical of their game for a long time now, ZZZ is still deserved of such high praises) Best hack-n-slash combat in any gacha games.

People like to call ZZZ a gooner game but in all honesty, it isn't. yes, there are woman with larger chests, yes they bounce. But the story of the game. the characters. the world. It's amazing.
There have been multiple moments where I've said to myself: 'I'd pay a respectable amount of real money to buy this game.' Aside from a couple moments of odd balance and rougher progression that...
