    "Game of the Year" my ass. Such good graphics and gameplay wasted on this disappointment of a game. I'd rather play EA's Battlefront.

    Genshin Impact is a visually stunning and captivating open-world action RPG that has taken the gaming world by storm.

Its beautifully crafted world of Teyvat is a testament to the level of detail and artistry that the developers at miHoYo have poured into the game. The game's mechanics, particularly the elemental combat system, add a layer of depth and strategy that keeps players engaged and constantly experimenting with different combinations.

    The diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique abilities and personalities, contributes to the game's charm and replayability. The gacha system used to acquire new characters and weapons, while controversial, adds an element of surprise and excitement to the gameplay.

    One of the game's strongest aspects is its free-to-play nature, allowing players to experience the vast majority of its content without spending money. However, there are microtransactions available for those who wish to speed up their progression or collect specific characters.

    Despite its strengths, Genshin Impact is not without its flaws. Some players have criticized the endgame content for lacking depth, and the resin system, which limits the amount of high-level activities that can be completed each day, has been a point of contention.

    Overall, Genshin Impact has set a new standard for free-to-play games with its breathtaking world, engaging combat, and constant updates that keep the game feeling fresh. Whether you're a fan of RPGs, exploration, or simply stunning visuals, Genshin Impact is definitely worth diving into    … Expand

    I literally can not even start! When I try to create an account, it wan'ts a code but they somehow screwed up the textfield and all I can enter in, are numbers from 1 to 0 and the letter e. But the problem is, they ask for UGT6 for example, which I can not type **** this game I guess?
    How someone fails on programming something like this is beyond me....

The game is incredibly grindy with having to upgrade your characters with artifacts and level up material. Resin, which you have a limited supply of, is used to go into temples that grant you artifacts after defeat. So you do about a few of these temples a day and your resin is already out, meaning you have to basically wait a full day to have all your resin back again. But resin is not only used for artifact farming, its also used for EVERY SINGLE THING TO UPGRADE YOUR CHARACTER. The game also has side quests which are very boring as they can be ridiciously hard and/or have lots of pointless dialogue which you can skip through easily as none of it matters. This game also has no replayablity has it is so hard to get back into. I've spent so many hours on this game that I regret I've spent. smh.… Expand

    1.- npc iguales, sosos y sin personalidad
    2.- diseños sobrecargados de los personajes 3.- mal balance entre elementos, haciendo unos más fuertes que otros
    4.- historia llena de huecos argumentales 5.- pocas recompensas y eventos de relleno pésimos 6.- mucho texto, tipo DEMASIADO, una misión principal dura 2 horas donde 1 hora y media son de texto aburrido y lento, no es broma, cronometree eso
    7.- exploración lenta y aburrida 8.- misiones de personajes aún peores, sin mucho sentido y cada vez más aburridas.
    9.- el poco cariño que le tiene la empresa a sus consumidores
    10.- que no sean capaces de meter más modelos de personajes en vez de los mismos de hace 3 años.

    Pros
    Combat system is unique
    Graphics are okay (imagine if China stole breath of the wilds art style)

    Cons
    Combat can be wittled down to button mashing and avoiding attacks
    Voice acting is bad
    Story is unengaging
    Tutorial is overly long
    Not a true open world
    Pay to win
    Toxic community

    TLDR play breath of the wild

    Genshin is a game based on starvation. Then you have to pay.

    Whatever is given for you for free is mostly worthless.

    The powerful 5 stars characters are behind a steep paywall: $500 to get it guaranteed, or 3 months of subscription and uninterrupted dailies. This game is for whales.

    It takes more than a year to have a decent account.

    Once you have invested time and money to build your roster of characters, you are left with 1 hour of end-game every month.

    There is no repeatable content, maps are added about every 12 weeks. That’s 8 weeks of nothingless.

    From Genshin CEO himself, the game targets addicted and secluded players.

    You can try out the game, and enjoy 4 great weeks.

    Then you face the ugly truth, whole game is a just a wrapping to sell you gacha characters.

But the game world in Genshin Impact doesn't have an intentional structure at all. It has flimsy bits copied and pasted from Breath of the Wild, superglued together seamlessly enough to give the impression of a real game. Instead, the meat of Genshin Impact is in the menu, which is a merciless jungle where the currencies are called Mora, Fates and Primogems, but are all proxies for the same rabbit hole: real-world transactions. Now, some folks enjoy seeing their money siphoned out of their accounts since there's a perverse thrill in knowing you might not get anything back, making the times you do all the more exciting. But for those of us who want to play an actual game should look elsewhere, because if you take a look under the hood of this thing, there is nothing to beat, only things to buy.… Expand

And while the better characters aren’t necessary to play the game, they are very, very nice. Some of them offer great utility to my roster, sure — but I’ve grown attached to others just through the sheer amount of time I’ve spent with them.
    It’s an open-world game, but it’s also a gacha game. The daily and weekly requirements, the currencies, and the luck of the draw all influence how and when I play. I can’t cram all my bosses or domains into one day of playing because of arbitrary caps the developers put in place. I can’t go pick all the flowers I want because some will only respawn every two days; like the inner machinations of its ever-looming systems, that serenity I found on the mountaintop is also dictated by the grind.
    And so, while there are a lot of ways to play, the game isn’t truly open — I can’t always do what I want, when I want. I love the world, but I always feel like there’s a tension between loving the world and exploring it, but always feeling like there’s an invisible hand, which is not completely free of insidious intentions, guiding my habits.

    Rather than a typical online game, Genshin Impact resembles a traditional single-player jRPG with a real-time combat. For a free-to-play title it is very impressive, but turns out to be pretty derivative and quickly slumps into monotony. [13/2020, p.52]

    Overall, in spite of things that should bring Genshin Impact down, the game is so much fun to play that the negatives are ultimately minor gripes. [...] The gameplay is smooth and simplistic, and it works great on all platforms - though I’m still not sure why the PlayStation version can’t be linked to a Mihoyo account so I could play on my phone when I’m not at home (PS Vita version please??) but it’s a small gripe to an otherwise terrific game.
