Zenless Zone Zero review - ultracool action at a smaller scale brings miHoYo's characters into focus


Zenless Zone Zero doubles down on its ultracool action with slice-of-life goofiness to make spending time in its slick streets a blast.

If Zenless Zone Zero's fun and stylish gameplay wasn't so distracting, its smaller scale might initially come across as a bit of a downgrade when compared to developer miHoYo's open worldin Genshin Impact, and the universe of possibilities found in Honkai: Star Rail. The pair are siblings who run a video rental store called Random Play, but their main gig is moonlighting as illegal Proxies - techy individuals who take on commissions from New Eridu's denizens in need of guidance, as they traverse corrupted Hollow bubbles that could turn them into Ethereal monsters if they linger. City commissions help you to get to know New Eridu's citizens better, tasking you with low-stakes objectives like assisting a clumsy Bangboo with its new job search, or rescuing stray cats in the back of a parking lot as you watch a teen romance unfold between two fellow rescuers.
