This game really surprised me, I went in very skeptical, expecting to the game to be a vehicle for lootbox characters. And it was, but what surprised me was that the heart of the game was actually in the world and the gameplay. It offers a world that is genuinely fun to explore, and the rapid character swapping creates a really interesting and dynamic combat system that you are always adjusting. I played all the way to the end of the release content before i had my fill, and I haven't been back. I know a lot has been added and I won't speak to anything since, but if you're like me and expecting an empty gatcha money pit, know that there's actually a really solid game in here that is lovingly constructed.… Expand

    I really like the view in the game, especially the cooking part. I think it could be more complicated for the cooking so it could be more fun. The only disadvantage of this game is it occupies too many space.

    great game in my opinion
    pros:

    pros:
    - it's free
    - nice graphics
    - interesting plot
    - frequent updating
    - various events

    minuses:
    - people paying real money have an advantage. after 9 months of playing I am able to do what whales do after 2.
    - the game is constantly evolving, but it's easy to just do everything that is available at a given moment and suddenly the game becomes boring (I note that a year ago the game gave a whopping 25 hours of play, now it is enough for twice as much, so the perspective changes depending on when it started to play)
    - AR lv, after reaching level 50, there is no difference if you have 55 or 60. zero significant rewards for reaching level 55 or 60, which is not easy.
    - 5 star weapons are beyond the reach of FvP players

    People complaining that the game is unfair and unless you pay real money you cannot compete with whales, they probably played a different game. You can easily do everything only with a team consisting of a 4-star character. it just takes more time to get it.

    gatcha system, it works like in any game of this type, people are greedy, they want every character, unfortunately without paying it is necessary to think what character they want, what they need and focus on those few.

    I recommend the game. the best I have known for a tablet for years, 10/10 in this category.    … Expand

    My only gripes with it would be the repetitive domain grind, uninspiring daily commission routine, and several UI flaws that waste players' time. Bit those ar every minor compared to the good that he game has to offer.
    I highly recommend everyone try Genshin for themselves.    … Expand

    This free-to-play game impressed me by the moment the very first time I see the graphics, and how it feels like a AAA free-to-play live service Style game, and yes it's a gacha mobile title with microtransactions and wishes: and it also can be played on PC as well, which is also impressive and disturbing at the same time; still a great free-to-play game

    Genshin impact has many towns that waiting for the player to roaming. Each town has their own culture the NPC in the town wearing that town garment and the building that show you the culture of each town. Outside the town has many chests to unlock by killing monsters or finishing the puzzles.
    Genshin impact has many fun things to do. Such as abyss mode defeat all the monster by the time-limited. Clearing dungeon to get the artifacts as a reward. Story quest dive into the story to know what’s going on in the town.
    The storyline focusing on the twins traveler who arrives tayvet attacked by the goddess and her/his sibling has been captured. So that he has to find her sibling and wandering in town to town to find the clue.
    The most attractive thing about this game is the elemental fusion. Each character has their element and some of them come with the skill that utilizes the element easily. The elemental fusion amplifies big damage. For example, put a fire on enemies then following with the hydro skill will cause a vaporize which can do a lot more damage than usual. So the player tries to build another character to make a combo.
    This game is all free but it’s the gacha game so that means everything is on your luck. The highest rarity is 5-star character and 5-star weapon which only get it from the gacha and unfortunately, the rate for 5 stars is only 0.6 percent. That was incredibly low. Anyways the game can not be that cruel they guarantee that you will get the 5 stars for sure when you reach the 90th rolls.    … Expand

    The first ~30h was really solid, if you enjoyed the exploration of BotW you’ll definitely enjoy these hours. However, once you’ve explored the whole map, there’s not much left for you to do.

    IMO the best way to play Genshin is to explore everything and then wait for the next map updates (maybe every 4-6 months?).

    I think this is a great game with lots of potential. It runs smoothly for me, but with older devices, it has some problems, even after turning the frame rate down. Also, they need to fix the resin system, namely the recharge rate. Even after making the cap 160, i think they need to increase it more.

After about 2-3 weeks of play, I got my first five star. Additionally, I’ve discovered this game is completely playable with only 4 star characters. as some 4 stars are better than even most other 5 stars, in Bennett and Fischl. Those two characters also have guaranteed drops, the shop and an event respectively. With all this said, I think this game can be improved a lot to be beginner friendly, as the artifact system is a little complicated and hard to master. In the end, I think this is a really good game with good potential, but it needs to be tweaked a little bit, so it can be better accepted in the gaming community.… Expand

    Solid game. I see all these complaints about "pay to win" but if you actually play the game, you will know that any character in this game can carry you through the end game. Plus you get a generous amount of pulls for free which means you will likely get more characters to help you along the way.

    The game is just great. Especially if you don't forget that it's free! I just sympathize with all the disgruntled critics who sit there for days trying to collect all the characters and spending thousands of dollars. You have clearly forgotten what it is to play and enjoy.

    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.
