    A half decent game ruined by a greedy miserable company. Avoid anything mihoyo! Stay away from this scam game! I played many gacha and this has the worst banner rates and the worst pity system I ever seen. Avoid this game! And first anniversary was a JOKE and a slap in the face of players! Stay away from this!

    An amazing game ruined by the Resin system and developers not listening
    Не вижу смысла писать своё мнение о том, о чём написали уже более детально
    Но суть одна - смола
    Простите, Михуё, я не хочу донатить в игру, чтоб в неё играть

    Ten 1 por tu aniversario, y agradece que te doy 1. Juego completamente bonito al comienzo para luego terminar siento un juego repetitivo que solo entras dia tras dia a hacer diarias y en vez de enganchar a su comunidad a seguir jugando en su aniversario prefieren pasar completamente de ella.

    I don't understand why people don't see what this game really is. It's just a bad copy of Zelda. It has no mobile optimisation, needs way too much disk space, needs to be connected at any time (it is completely stupid for a mainly single-player game) and, on top of that, it has a dumb pay to win gacha. Don't waste time and money with this thing and simply play another game.

    Garbage game, 0 content for anniversary with garbage character Kokoming banner, forcing the players to suck on Kokopium much, also sinks to a new low deleting ALL negative reviews on the official Hoyolab website and affiliated communities, pathetic.

    Why such small anniversary awards?

    Where are the KFC wings?

    New Persians trash

    And the plot is flawed

    Скатываемся в пучины бездны…
    Это безусловно не может не печалить.
    Годовщина в пролёте, персонажи выходят откровенно слабыми, эндгейм контента почти нет, печально в общем

    Unfortunately the developers stopped listening to the community, they don't want to fix bugs, add difficult high-end content. Mihoyo just ignores us. Anniversary awards are very bad too

    Toxic community, Characters not worth pulling, company is too stingy.

    If you don't spend money you will get disapointed.

    They still haven't fixed Monas C1 after 2 years. The devs don't care about bugs unless they reduce their profit. Just shows how much the devs don't care about the game or the community.

    Good game ruined by developers - mihoyo. There were many claims before the anniversary but * Anniversary * was the last straw. Such neglect of all who supported the project all year.

    The game is predatory and full of abusive micro-transactions that interfere in your gameplay;
    Content is limited to 15 minutes per day unless you pay;
    You need to play for two months to get a single 5-star item (there are over 300 including constellations and refinements) unless you pay $444.44 for each one;
    The battle pass is the worst I've ever seen, it's just garbage;
    Multiplayer is worse than playing singleplayer and is totally useless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yea this game kinda sucks. Graphics are good (ish), but the microtransactions are nuts, 30 dollars to "pull" a character, who 1/30 times will be **** and youll have either wasted money, time or both, gameplay isnt good either, mostly just run from here to there, kill this non difficult or thought provoking boss and get the thing, then run back to quest giver, adventure rank also is a annoying, because after level 20, the game slows to a snails pace. Also the game is wildy oversexualized. Expand

    The base game seems pretty well made and the open world is very good. However, it's still a predatory gacha game that prays on your money and will often end up forcing you to spend way more than you'd spend on any AAA game just to progress, and the abundance of child characters in questionable clothing really drove me away as well

    优点:丰富的剧情故事,手机端游戏当中画质最好的RPG游戏之一,很多角色可以玩, 很多活动。
    缺点:在玩法上与《塞尔达:荒野之息》类似,游戏中几乎重要的材料都可以通过“原石”一种货币来买到。

    Whatever your preconceptions may be about a free-to-play gacha game made in China it’s nothing short of stunning, presenting you with a sprawling Zelda-esque open world to explore, the green grass and blue skies looking beautiful thanks to console-grade production values. Even the monetisation isn’t too in-your-face, although it does eventually start to get a bit grindy in the late game. Genshin Impact is easily the most accomplished and alluring Zelda-alike available for mobiles, easily outstripping paid-for rival Oceanhorn and its sequel.

    Genshin Impact is easily the most impressive free-to-play game on mobile. It offers such a rich world that rivals those of ambitious console and PC games while pacing its content such that mini play sessions using touch controls feel satisfying and worthwhile. There's nothing about Genshin Impact's business model that is new or praiseworthy, but it thankfully doesn't get in the way of enjoying what is otherwise a legitimately amazing open-world adventure.

    Genshin Impact is an amazing open-world adventure that draws heavily on both its Breath of the Wild and anime inspirations to create something truly special. Even if the gacha model introduces some undesirable level grinding deeper in, the excellent combat, addictive exploration, and beautiful world make this one of the most exciting games I've played all year.
