The premise, in the publisher's words

Wuthering Waves is set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world after a catastrophe called the Lament wiped out most of humanity and caused unknown beings and monsters, called Tacet Discords, to appear. Humanity adapted to the threat and over time rebuilt civilization. The story follows the amnesiac Rover, who has awakened from a deep slumber and sets out to explore this new world.

How it plays

It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, fantasy, open world and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative and Single player.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 (9th Gen) / Ryzen 2700, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060/AMD Radeon RX 570/Intel ARC A380. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 150GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
