Steam Has a New Free Game (And It Has Great Reviews)

by

On Steam, there’s a fresh free game available for PC users with a Steam account. This game can be downloaded, played, and owned without any cost. However, it’s important to note that Steam Deck users might encounter issues while playing this new release. At the moment, the game’s Steam page indicates that the compatibility with Steam Deck is currently “Unknown.” But don’t worry, as the developers are actively working on resolving any potential issues related to Steam Deck, which should be fixed soon. Until then, Steam Deck users might need to prepare for potential significant problems while running the game on their Valve handheld device.

Speaking of the free Steam game under discussion, it’s Wuthering Waves by Kuro Games. Some might recall

A game titled Wuthering Waves, developed by Kuro Games – a Chinese studio, falls into the category of free-to-play open-world action RPGs. The design of this game is influenced by popular titles such as Death Stranding, Pokemon, and Punishing: Gray Raven. It bears the closest resemblance to Genshin Impact, though, and can be categorized as a ‘Gacha’ style game.

Last year at The Game Awards, the title was nominated for Player’s Choice and Best Mobile Game, but it didn’t take home either prize. On Metacritic, its critical reception has been relatively lackluster, but Steam users have given it much more favorable reviews. On Steam alone, there have been 6,825 user reviews, with an impressive 89% expressing positive opinions. This results in a “Very Positive” rating for the game on Steam – the second highest rating possible on the platform.

You start off in this game as Rover, along with a lively group of characters known as Resonators. Your quest is to regain your lost memories and ultimately transform the world.

As a dedicated fan of Genshin Impact who’s invested countless hours into its world, diving into Wuthering Waves felt surprisingly comfortable – in a good way. The fundamental framework seems to mirror Genshin’s open-world exploration and team-based combat, making it an intuitive experience. However, what truly caught me off guard was the depth of the systems that lie beneath its surface.

For those planning to play Wuthering Waves, be aware that the main gameplay lasts approximately 20 hours. If you explore all the side activities, this time increases to around 60-70 hours. Those aiming for full completion should set aside about 215 hours for the game.
