Dont' know about you guys, but my phone (vivo s1) currently running this game fine, sure there's some stuttrering but then I found out mostly because my connection is weak af.
Storyline is good for me, slow pace, easy to understand which is always been the opposite from other Mihoyo games like GGZ, HSR
Graphics is very pretty, remind me a lot of Persona and that's enough for a 5 stars rating imo. I'm always vibe with 2000s styles. A bit blurry on moblile, but some how kinda add to the charm
Can't say much about music, mostly I play it muted, but Eng VA voice direction in this game actually sounds like normal people having normal conversation without being too loud or too exaggerating
For gameplay, it's easy, remind me a lot of Hi3 on the first day, which is mostly just button smash, nothing too complicated unless you dont't know how to read or too lazy. Being simple never meant as a bad thing, I'm sure casual players would love it, unless your're one of a combat centre maniac
let talk about this game:
+ Nice game. pass the the trial battle. game crash.
+ Open game again, wait for loading, tap again, wait for loading, tap again, wait for more loading.
+ Do next mission after that. Nice cutscenes, game crash in mid of that cutscenes.

¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯
Just started playing this game less than a week ago on my desktop computer. Don't have as much experience with this game on mobile, so review will be based on cpu version. Although everything besides for lag or download speeds should be same no matter.
The graphics and artstyle are superb. Gameplay is nice with it being a roaming game instead of just left to right or turn based type games. Characters are very nice looking and very diverse in regards to their personalities. Upgrading isn't too bad so far. Very easy to understand and maneuver. The ui and menu's where a little confusing for me at first, but with experience not so confusing. There's a lot to do as well. Not just story mode, but other modes as well. I like the story so far. Not boring. I haven't tried the gacha yet as I am happy with the characters they give you from the start. I did receive another character, although don't remember how. Plus I have decided to save up on gacha materials for the time being.
All in all a game I will definitely make one of the main games I play. Highly recommended to try out, for sure.
As per usual, it's one of those Mihoyo shticks and it isn't anything different either.
What doesn't change is the non-existent of subtlety in the writing, they just had to spell out their problem instead of giving out their emotions as if they're trying to pad out their cutscenes as long as possible. Because this game would've been shorter than Cry of Fear if they hadn't done that.
The gameplay is alright, but weighed down a ton by the amount of cutscenes that you have to sit through and it just doesn't have to be.
Without being bothered by the cutscenes, the gameplay is relatively simple, you dodge, you parry, you attack, you switch, you ultimate and you're done.
But there's one thing that I have gripes with the combat... it plays another cutscenes.
Then there's this... TV dungeon crawler minigame...
i got nothing else to say about it aside the art direction that tries to represent how the scenario suppose to look and how we suppose to understand, while the idea itself is incredibly smart, i couldn't say the same thing if you had to do this for the next few years.
Overall Zenless Zone Zero is a game about all style with no substance, it looks really cool and it plays really cool, but that's it, it's cool.
as for other things, there are people on the internet said that this game is suppose to be cozy. I recommend NIKKE over this if you want cozy game that can be beaten with one hand.
So my Day-1 overall impression so far :
First from Graphic
As Overall Design from Maps, Chara until Enemies design has been well-made and now be more motionic compared to other Hoyoverse games.
Second from Sound into Gameplay (Maps until Battle mode)
Start from Maps Soundtracks so far quite enjoyable, relaxing and good-matching with vibe. You can even relisten all Soundtracks on MC's Room but kinda wasted that beside the game consume more battery as usual you can't even listen the soundtrack on background for Mobile if u want to do multitasking but PC you can just let it loop on Client itself. Meanwhile Gakumas had done better in Mobile.
Soundtracks on Gameplay can match with your taste if you are into Urban Genre with High-BPM but shamely there's only few only them and I personally can't match myself with the tense that I was hoping for. But anyway the soundtrack itself still good and some of them have a good match with Story you're working for or the Cutscenes that you pay attention on. I put my score neutral because there's only few song that I was looking for.
Third from Game Stats (from Gameplay & Contents until Endgame)
The Gameplay itself had done better compared to Honkai Impact though it work slightly different but it has it's own kit like Parry with Assist button, Chain Attacks, Anomalies.
But I have worse experience for that. Start from Auto-focus which super annoying especially facing Thanatos which if they always Dive back and you can't even hit em properly, more worse if there's more mobs which will messing with your Camera focus unless you play safe with Perfect Assist. Then the Character Display if you are on Mobile against Big Enemy like Nineveh, it's hard to tell which pattern they about to go unless you wait for Perfect Assist mark, PC won't have this issue though cuz you have better Display . It's hard to tell if such pattern can be countered or not like one pattern you can counter with Perfect Assist but that same pattern couldn't be countered with PA at the same time even you still have PA point. Last one is if you switch unit during Attack Motion, that last unit still vulnerable to get hit if the motion itself hasn't over yet until they gone, so that unit still can die if you're not carefully on switching even some pattern can make it invulnerable but still can't help that much.
For Content, from Hollow Gameplay kinda meh especially if you try to clear The Prophecy quest which will take hour to clear it without Battle Gameplay which for me definitely boring to keep because it doesn't feel like how some Rogue-like Gameplay should be. Some of quests has something like that, well the Speed itself already get better but still there's big minus like the button can be very sensitive if you are on big map even with High FPS it still annoying even if you drag the camera by hold press on blocked object like wall I could say more worse experience but mostly directed to similiar statement like this.
Battle Gameplay is fine but Hollow mechanic is meh, which I scored neutral for this.
Another like Event that had been held so far (until 1.1) is less related to Battle Gameplay, it's relaxing which less pressure to clear but there's none for Battle related only. There's some New Content for Battle Gameplay like Disputed Node & Inferno Reap, I appreciate for New Node for make it harder and not being Speedrun related but just wish there's limited event similar like this with same if not harder Difficulty level. Inferno Reap could be potential to be season content as Hollow Zero so far is finest Content for both Roguelike & Battle Gameplay but need something that can motivate me to play & raking more beside grinding for Denny. Once you done with Inferno, you had nothing left and back to be 2 Hollow Run/week.
I'm not going to talk about Storyline but my score stand my overall impression.
This game is good and bad, impressive and not, matched and not at the same time for me.
As someone who grew up in the 2000s this has the be one of my favorite gacha games of all time! it gives off the exact vibes of funky ps2 - ps3 games. back when things were kinda grundy and experimental.
I honestly don't understand why people aren't happy with the tv mode? but I've grown up with games like Etrian Odyssey and persona Q, so i adore dungeon crawling with my whole heart!
I also cant get over the slice of the life aspect to the game, the arcade mini games, running around and playing soccer with the funky lil bangboos. This gacha game genuinely reminds me of a paid game. it feels like a game I've paid for, its not just "log in - spend stamina - log out"
Perhaps its a me thing? but I like the game? I love it actually I love decovering hidden tech in the character's movesets, I love getting attached to the chatracters through the story. No other gacha game makes me so happy for other characters. Not PGR, WUWA, genshin, HSR, HI3, AG, Nikke, or even Fate.
Eventually I just stop caring about the story, but not Zenless. I think its because I feel like I i really bond with them? like in persona you can hangout with them, play video games together, and really talk to them.
TL;DR- I feel like I'm playing a different game than everyone else. I don't get the hate at all? as someone whos played almost every major gacha game since 2016, ZZZ genuinely makes me so happy. and this is someone who hates genshin, and HSR.
Short Review:
This game is not for weak devices. My device can smoothly play genshin yet this game still takes a toll on my phone, a lot.
Very much laggy especially in fight scenes. The story, Voice act, sounds is good. My problem is it takes so slow to load, plus freezes in mid games or even just walking in map alone.
Maybe it's mh device problem but nonetheless i want to enjoy playing it, might transfer in laptop soon. Lastly, the game is like HSR, I haven't gone far from the game because of it's lag.
What does the game contains?
- You start your character as a Proxy, you're like a manager for other character.
- If you play hsr you may adapt on the game pretty well.
- They give you many starter pulls, make sure to reach Inter-knot lvl.5 so you can use code redemption.
Will be updating if i got more further in the game.
Lastly enjoy the game to it's fullest!
