Free-to-play Breath of the Wild clone that's pretty good.

That's the thread.

I’ve been playing it, but just pop in on occasion so I haven’t gotten too far. 

I did get Mona and Fischl though, so those two have been helping me get more interested in the game.

Comparing it to BotW is being very generous, but it is a good game. Might even drop a few dollars on it.

I tried it because of the cute boy, but it wasnt for me

Venti never coming home from my pulls slowed down my interest in the game.

Sometimes I pop in for a couple minutes with my characters, but it doesn’t take too long for me to switch to a different game.

I've been playing this on and off since launch.

I'd say the biggest flaw is the amount of grinding you pretty much have to do to get anything done. And not far behind it is how expensive the pulls are for the gacha.

I spent a good amount of time saving gems so whenever a character I really wanted showed up, I'd hopefully be able to get them. I did after 80 pulls, but then I had to start upgrading them from level 1, which is just a slog.

 

Outside of that, it's good, especially for a F2P game. It just suffers from the same thing as, well, every game that tries to slowly bleed its users dry.

This Windblume event has been interesting. These side quests remind me of some of the weirder mini games from Kingdom Hearts.

I also finally rolled a Venti so now I’ll be playing this more often.

I just got this game for my PS4 last night and even though I haven’t gotten far, I have been enjoying it quite a lot. @Vela, do you have this game on your PC?

I do not.  I've gotta clean up my comp and make more space, but it looks cute.

Cool! Again, I like it so far. I'll resume playing it tonight.

Well that's all the incentive I need.  Not tonight though, how old am I and I'm still amazed at just how much time small projects take up when combined.  "Oh that'll take only 5 min, that'll take 10," it's suddenly nighttime and I'm wondering why I'm so exhausted.  Some people are just better at it I guess.

How about that WuWa?
