Does it deserve #6?
Is Zenless Zone Zero worth it?
For most people, yes. Zenless Zone Zero scores 8.1/10 and ranks #6 in RPG & Adventure Games. It's best for action fans who want stylish, combo-heavy fights in short bursts. Skip it if you want a big open world or dislike gacha. Price: Free to play; Monochrome from $0.99 and a $4.99 Inter-Knot Membership.
The verdict
Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoverse's most stylish game: a near-future city, a three-agent squad and combat built on dodges, parries and flashy chain attacks. Fights are short and punchy, which suits a phone, and the animation and music are top tier. Between missions you run a video store and wander the streets of New Eridu. Exploration is limited next to Genshin, and new agents come from gacha.
