    Sorry for the late reply!

    1.1 did indeed contain new story, but it also added more sub quests (with added difficulty as a lot of people asked for apparently) and a lot of Quality of Life changes.

    The story switched up and gave us control of a new character instead of the usual main character and the writing for this 1.1 story was the best so far.

    For me personally, ZZZ matches my lifestyle a lot better than Star Rail. (I used to play Star Rail but dropped it as I noticed it required too much time investment than I could afford, with work and wife being priorities)

    ZZZ allows me to do dailies in less than 5 mins, and if I have 10 minutes to spare instead I am able to extend that into a short burst of weeklies. Also, the music, animation, style and the urban settings suits me much better as I keep going back to it.

    Ultimately, the thing that keeps me playing is the huge potential this game has.
    They proved with the 1.1 patch that the game they put out is long but finished and keeps getting polished while listening to the players. I honestly can't wait for future updates as they just seem FUN!
    Also, a new character gets released today!

    Still hooked on Zenless Zone Zero.

    Version 1.1 is out, and there is more content now.
    I've been playing since release and gobbled up the content at a rapid pace as I was playing pretty much every day. The days where I don't feel like sitting in front of my PC, I just do the dailies on my phone. (Dailies are done super fast)
    I was done all the story quest and side quests, so for me it was simply logging in and doing dailies while grinding for small upgrades and saving up for future gachas.

    1.1 was introduced last week and I cannot believe how much the devs listened to the community feedback.
    A lot of QoL improvements have been made and the new content is very promising as it shows that we are able to step into the shoes of other characters story-wise. (Whereas before it was just the main character you picked at the beginning)

    I am still going through all the new quests and honestly cannot wait for any future updates.
    Also still holding on to my in-game currency as they are drip-feeding us new characters by giving up sneakpeeks on social media, and I have seen some characters I really want.

    While I usually do not like Gacha games, I am helplessly addicted to Zenless Zone Zero. It's so pleasant to look at, gameplay is smooth, animation is amazing, and the story itself is fun....

    While I usually do not like Gacha games, I am helplessly addicted to Zenless Zone Zero.

    It's so pleasant to look at, gameplay is smooth, animation is amazing, and the story itself is fun. (Post-apocalyptic urban fantasy setting, where all modern electronics are gone and everyone has gone back to cassetes, LP's etc. )
    I just love the general ambience, with the chill hip-hop playing in the background, while you go grab a coffee to replenish your energy, go to the music store to shop for LP's (which are equipment), or spend time in the arcade which actually has very fun mini-games.

    But it's very much a skill game and has some Kingdom Hearts similarities in terms of gameplay.

    It's still very new and came out a month ago, so if anyone is looking for a new game!

    As a fellow Dutchie, I prefer Grolsch over Heineken any day of the week. Also was very surprised when I ordered beer overseas and it ended being very crisp and having a light taste.

    Your comment just made me homesick and remember my mom's cooking.

    It's difficult to get any Turkish food here, and I miss Sucuk the most.

    So I'd like to add "Sucuk" (dry, spicy and fermented sausage), "Mantı" (dumplings in garlic yogurt sauce), and "Simit" (sesame seed-coated bread that looks like a bagel but tastes totally different) to this list.
