CZN had really good gameplay though the story was a waste because of the writer controversy. I say “was” because now I’m getting proper fun with the Event’s plot. They aren’t good between balancing the comedy and serious parts though I’m enjoying it.
If I were to say I think Stella Sora’s issues are a mix of the poor advertisement and the problems they took weeks to address. CZN had a bunch of shitstorms but addressed them in less than 2 weeks. This very event feels like it was tweaked around the ton of criticism it received. This speed was crucial because they saw they managed to get a huge playerbase and didn’t want to screw that one up. This response shows they care. Even if it is for the wrong reasons like something bigger they want to hide.
In comparison, I don’t hear much from Stella Sora outside here. Be it before or after launch. CZN, DNA and Ananta had their share of advertisement that repeatedly popped up in my timeline or other sites. The alount of times I saw Stella Sora were really few to the point I only knew of it’s close release because of Blue Archive players. The game isn’t bad by any means and it actually nails the BA-like atmosphere well even though it misses some of the stuff. It can stand on its own and it’s definitely worthier than most gachas in the market. But I only know that because I bothered digging into it first. While the other games I listed already gave me an idea of what they’d be like before doing that
