most of the top gacha games are mostly from China.

I tried it back when it launched and it was genuinely a very well made game in terms of actual gameplay, but then literally all the progression was just 100% pure RNG bullshit and gacha pulls, which fucking suck completely on every level. I genuinely don't understand how slot machines like that are addictive, because you do nothing and then you lose and that's it that's the whole mechanic you're just non-interactively losing over and over every time you look at it. Gacha mechanics ruin games and should not exist.

This is the impression I got early on too. I remember at launch a lot of people were hyped up for it and the first hour or two looked pretty fun and promising, then nope welcome to gacha hell

The first 80 to 100 hours or so are high quality BOTW-style open world exploration and a somewhat fun combat system

But yeah it's just a generic gacha after that.
