Punishing: Gray Raven

The main story is actually pretty interesting, despair, dark and bleak, which I find enjoyable to read.

Combat is a tier difficulty higher than most gacha/mobile games and has some nice complexity.

However, the amount of content this game offers absolutely dwarfs what you might expect from a game without an open world.

And this is worth mentioning because PGR has always been one of the most impressive examples of optimization in the gacha market.

While its post apocalyptic aesthetic and stages can feel visually monotonous with a heavy reliance on bleak, gray industrial tones, the game compensates with incredibly fluid animations, lightweight performance optimization, and a stellar adrenaline pumping soundtrack.

The character roster is also incredibly deep, and one of the things I really like about PGR is how the lore justifies its approach to character releases.
