Wuthering Waves

Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Very Positive · 87%2025

The verdict

A beautiful, fast-combat open-world gacha with a story that improves a lot after the slow start. Skip it if 50/50 pulls, FOMO, heavy storage needs or optimization issues bother you.

Great for

Fans of flashy action combat, cinematic story and music who can tolerate gacha systems

Main risk

Predatory-feeling 50/50 gacha and FOMO, plus heavy size and poor optimization

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negatives cite a forced external launcher, locked graphics settings on Steam, Steam Deck failing to load after 3.7, and login problems. Several reviews agree, so fairly confident.
