Wuthering Waves is a free-to-play open-world ARPG where fast, flashy combat meets monster-collecting mayhem. You play as the Rover, teaming up with elemental warriors called Resonators to battle mutants and steal their powers, literally. Zip across rooftops, wall-run into boss fights, and collect Echoes (creature skills you equip) to build wild combos. It's like Genshin with a bigger moveset and fewer stamina nags. Frequent updates, gacha pulls, and team theorycrafting keep the grind spicy.

It's weird, witty, and wildly strategic.
