Genshin 6.3 story review (spoiler alert!!!)
Nod-krai the area as a whole was quite refreshing.
less grind, oculis are more easier to get, you get compass to find chests and lunaculus by default, puzzles are more easier, world quests are short. honestly, Nod-krai is a massive improvement over other nations, you don't feel overwhelmed that easily. Nod-krai is probably the best mini nation ever in terms of grinds and rewards.
in my opinion, 6.0-6.3 story was quite good, less yappy, stable compare to your usual archon quest. those beasts ate 8hr long.
but anyway, i would say i was quite satisfied. i was happy the way the strory concluded. they didn't try too much, kept things grounded and less confusing which i like so much. Even the villain, dettore. i wouldn't call him a flowed hero or whatever but his questions to the traveler was quite interesting and mind opening. Tho he wasn't nice but his words make you think thrice.
i would give it a good old: 7.9/10
Good, Balanced, grounded and less boring. Read Note

Wuthering Waves The Game. (wordy)
(Note: no ai was used to write this.)
A Brief Journey:
I have been playing wuthering waves since 2024, may 24th to be exact, nearly two years. i have experienced many ups and downs in this game community. first few months after the game was launched was very painful. version 1.0 arrived with game breaking bugs and horrifying lags, some couldn't progress the stories for one of those reasons. many left but i chose to stay.
The reason why i even bothered to play wuthering waves was because I was tired of genshin, the grind was slow, the characters required ever more grind to build them correctly or anywhere close to being useful. but wuthering waves caught my eyes one day and so i decided to hop on the ship.

Genshin 6.2 review (15 pictures)
The story was... decent, i expected more but it was simple and hopeful. but like most Anime, your hopefulness gets taken away very quickly. nothing out of the box, just plain and simple. the ending was interesting and it made my anticipation for the 6.3 story is higher.
My rating: 7.5/10. simple, worth playing but nothing too creative or crazy.

Edo star or hsr 4.0 may get cancelled (update)
NEW: Edo star will get delayed by 4 weeks atleast. they will not do a 100 revamp. i will dig out more infos about this if possible.
OLD: due to raising political tension between china and Japan , it is said that the edo star might get a new revamp or get scaped entirely. what i am sure about is if either of those scenarios actualises, we won't get to visit the next planet anytime soon.
right now nothing is clear. i recommend writing until makes things clear.

See You Tomorrow (Review #063) (updated)
Honkai: Star rail 3.7 review...
it was a flow less story, the ∞/ people of amphoreus no longer exists anymore but the weight of the their memory will live will us as book.
review:
This story was absolutely insane. The fact that a writer pulled all this off and actually got the studio to back it is wild. The guts it takes to write something like that must be unreal. The music hit perfectly, the callbacks to past stories were brilliant, and overall, it was an incredible ending to Amphoreus’s journey.
Rating: 9.5/10

Genshin Impact 6.1 Main Quest Review (⚠️spoiler alert) (updated)
Review: The story itself was decent and definitely worth my time, but it was structured poorly. Dumping all of Rerir’s lore in one go was a terrible choice—it felt like I was reading a book that refused to end. The soundtrack, however, was spot-on and really elevated the experience. Unfortunately, the constant detours from the main plot made it feel scattered and less engaging. I’d rate it a 7.4 for the story and a 6.5 for the endless, unnecessary chatter
Overall: 7.4 for the story. but those relentless yapping must stop.

wuthering waves 2.6 part 1 story was.....meh (20 images) (review) (read)
Review:
positives:
This story chapter was decent overall and worked well enough for my playthrough. Augusta was definitely a standout—her character design and outfit felt deliberate, and her look perfectly fits the role she’s meant to portray. The world-building, while not jaw-dropping, was solid and consistent, and it did its job in keeping me immersed. The real star here was the music—it was beautifully done and added so much depth to the atmosphere, often carrying scenes that otherwise might have felt flat.
negetives: That said, because this is the first part of a two-part finale, my expectations were naturally higher. I was hoping for a true “fight against the dark tide” kind of story to set the stage for the grand conclusion. Instead, this installment felt a bit restrained, almost like it was holding back, this story again felt like a companion quest as most of the content ( past stories) revolved around her which I honestly don't prefer. there were many interesting world building but it came to no avail. septimont is a place for many so i couldn't get why did they stay around Augusta or iuno so much. The villain, in particular, wasn’t intimidating enough to leave a strong impression, which hurt the sense of urgency and danger I was expecting. And once again, Fracsidas barely made an impact—something I was really hoping would change in this chapter.
In the end, this part of the story feels like it’s building toward something bigger, but on its own, it doesn’t quite deliver the weight of a final arc. It’s enjoyable, with strong moments of character design and music, but it stops short of being truly epic. I’d give this first part of the finale a 7.4/10—a solid setup, but it needs the second half to really seal the deal.
Rating: 7.4/10
final thoughts: its very underwhelming for an ending. septimont is in grave danger but all it took was two people, rover and Augusta stop it like its another Wednesday? i am not satisfied. i couldn't feel the “hunt” vibe in this story.

wuthering waves 2.5 story was... (☝🏻tap to read) (15 pictures) (**⚠️spoilers)
Review: In a story both stirring and shadowed, Phrolova emerges not as a caricature of evil, but as a soul shaped by scars too deep for the light to reach. Her arc is a masterstroke of subtlety—where once we’d expect chaos for chaos’ sake, we instead find conviction, bruised ideals, and a past that bleeds reason into every so-called crime. She is no comic book villain, no cape-wearing destroyer of worlds—but a woman carved by consequence, acting not out of madness but necessity. One cannot help but understand her, even as the world condemns her.
And oh, the score—what a symphony of sorrow and strength! The OST wraps itself around every moment like a second narrative, whispering pain, pride, and power with every note. Each crescendo feels like a cry from her soul; each silence, a wound unhealed. A haunting beauty lingers long after the music ends.
Rating: 8.7/10
From the pen of this humble viewer: A villain? Perhaps. But never without cause. Phrolova is not evil—she is inevitable.
THE END.

The part 2 was a bit.....
Part 1 of the Septimont story quest in Wuthering Waves absolutely nailed it. Great pacing, strong buildup, and it really set the stage for something epic. But then... Part 2 happened.
Unfortunately, the second half felt underwhelming. The story lost its momentum, the battle was forgettable, and the ending left me with more of a shrug than a cheer. It was short, rushed, and didn’t live up to the hype Part 1 built up so well.
It’s like they handed me a sword made of lightning in Part 1… then replaced it with a wet stick in Part 2. I expected glory — I got a fizzle.
part 1 rating: 7.5
part 2 rating: 6.9
Total septimont story rating: 7.2 (unsatisfactory)

Satisfying Downfall.
once a wise man said: “They didn't treat their players as users to exploit, and they didn't make decisions they knew were shortsighted in function of a bonus or politics. They knew that if you put the game and the team first, the revenue will follow. They were driven by idealism, and wanted players to have fun. They realized that if the developers
didn't have fun, nobody was going to have any fun. And they understood the value of respect. That, if they treated their developers and players well, those same developers and players would forgive them when things didn't go as planned.
But above all they cared about their game, because the love games.”
