Okay, I started Snowbreak on the PC client. No stuttering or lagging issues for me. The game runs very smooth, even with all the settings at max. I'm currently on a laptop with a mobile 4060 and playing with a Playstation 5 controller, by the way. I hear the mobile version of this game isn't great, so it's probably going to be more of a "best played on PC" type game like Genshin.
Right out of the gate, I'm already seeing some big changes from when I played the beta. Not just the new gameplay mechanics, the story is different! In the beta, the player character was some random nobody hinted to be a corpse donation to the company for research after he and his sister died from the First Descent. The only people you recognize are Lyfe and Fenny. No one knows who you are and you're treated as a potential hostile then threatened by T to work for the company in exchange for a nebulous promise to help you get your memories back or else die.
Now it's changed to where you are a member of the company who knows who everyone is and everyone seems to recognize you back. The devs kept the amnesia part the same but really toned it down. Also, Fenny appears much sooner, even as just a voice, and the MC starts seeing the sister from the very beginning instead of later in the story. There was also nothing about the MC having Theotropic Nerves. I'll stop there since I only covered the very beginning of the game.
The enemy AI is somewhat better but is still a little too easy, imo. Then again, it's still the beginning of the game, so eh. The boss fights are a step up from the beta.
You can reroll but there there's no point in doing it. Also, it's super tedious to do. Just stick with who you get from the gacha and use the selector ticket when you get it.
Yeah, Snowbreak just wasn't for me. I don't mind third-person shooters, but I need a controller. And if I have a controller, I'm at home. And if I'm at home, I have a bunch of other games :<
I'm not actually an on the go gamer type though.
It's the same for me. The only time I open up games on my phone is just to check in really quick, do logistics, and quickly burn off stamina in auto-battle. I prefer playing on an Android emulator or a PC client.

Any potential good ones on the horizon people know about, or current ones without too much grinding?

Archeland is the only upcoming one I'm interested in.
Let's see...
Huh... so somehow
Some fucking how this happened:

I also pulled Yao 5*, who is also Thermal, but she's powerful af. My tradition of getting stupid lucky in gachas I don't care as much about continues
Arknights has Myrtle (uooooh)CN also just got the summer alters announced as well.
Wait, what happened with Chen? I kinda assumed people loved her because A) she was busted and B) shes ChenPeople disliked that her alter was a summer unit and not just a skin.
People disliked that her alter was a summer unit and not just a skin.*Artoria quietly leaves the room*
Plus being dumb broken with a water gun.
People disliked that her alter was a summer unit and not just a skin.There was also some lore stuff, like she could've got a way cooler alter but instead ita a summer unit, and how she's stronger with a water gun than with her legendary sword. And people didn't expect AK to do a summer limited banner back then. AND her original art used in her reveal made her look like Blaze and had to be fixed. It was a shitshow, I don't see Eyja or Swire getting that much hate.
Plus being dumb broken with a water gun.
It's not like Swire was good to begin with, to my knowledge.They already released their skillset and both seem pretty good and fitting alters at least that make sense, unlike Ch'en's.
Eyja was already OP though, wondering how they'll top her Eruption. Or her cuteness.
I unlocked the gacha in Snowbreak. Is the beginner banner good to go for?
Pretty much but don't go too nuts on it. All the beginner banner gives you is a set number of pulls at a discount rate for 10-pulls and a guaranteed 5* in 50 pulls instead of the usual 80. Since it doesn't have a time limit on it, I'm going to pull on it over time as I accumulate regular gacha tickets. The discount is also not tied to getting a 5*. I already got one from it and I still have another 10 pulls left.
5* units aren't a priority in this game as of its current iteration. That may change in the future but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Then what reason would I have to use the regular banner with the guaranteed 5* in 80 pulls over the beginner one? What advantage or difference is there with the regular one outside of the guarantee?
Also let me say that one shotting mooks in the head with a shotgun is damn satisfying.
