    A lot of wasted potential. It has the look of a grand RPG adventure, but behind the curtain it's still your standard mobile gacha game. These two types of games contradict each other:

These two types of games contradict each other:

    - "Pay to win" is a misleading term. You can't really "win" in a gacha game. "Gacha" is about collecting rare heroes and exclusive items. But without spending literally thousands of dollars, your collection won't contain many desirable collectibles. The whole game is about trying to sell you lottery tickets for seemingly exclusive virtual items. As in all gacha games, gameplay and immersion are shallow and soulless when you've seen through the inital eye candy.

    - Combat has potential but doesn't evolve. After 2 hours you will perform the same fancy looking moves over and over again. Gameplay feels the same at lvl 1 as at lvl 60. Likewise, you will fight the same enemies at lvl 1 as at lvl 60, just with higher stats.

    - It tries to mimic an "epic adventure", but there's nothing to discover. All the good stuff is in loot boxes and will never be found elsewhere. There's literally thousands of treasure chests, all containing the same common items, with zero chance to get anything worthwile.

    - After the inital hours with lots of eye candy, progress grinds to a halt (at rank 23-25), content is gated behind huge amounts of grind and/or paying money to make the grind more bearable.

    - The "endgame" revolves around farming small amounts of premium currency and materials. Materials will unlock the full potential of your heroes. Premium currency lets you buy another lottery ticket. Sooner rather than later, gameplay becomes a tedious job you go through just to get another lottery ticket or to make your heroes slightly stronger.

    - There 's no real challenge, you will steamroll 98% of the content. The only challenge comes in form of time trials, in which you won't be able to defeat some monsters within the time limit, since your team's damage output isn't high enough. How to overcome the problem? You guessed it: grind for months on end and/or pay for lootboxes.

    - Immersion is constantly broken. Before you meet characters in the story, you might get them in loot boxes. So you might run around with the "Anemo God" Venti, a very rare character, while you try to locate him in a quest. It's a bit like "Back to the Future", but twisted.

    Genshin Impact, like all other gacha games, is about "pay for a chance to get a super rare hero", "pay to progress", "pay to not waste your time". It isn't even "pay to have fun", since gameplay is shallow and whatever you might pay, it will never be enough, there will always be some bottleneck or some new exclusive hero that outperforms whatever heroes you might have collected until then.    … Expand

You are very likely to not get what you want. The game is not f2p friendly by any means. The main story won't take you long to beat. Even if you decide to put $60 which is equivalent to a AAA game, it will not get you much. The rate that you earn in-game currency to try to earn another character is abysmal after level 30. As a single-player game, it's great to float around and explore the map. However, the best/better weapons and characters are locked behind a THICK paywall. I can not emphasize this enough. Each character feels unique and offers very different things to the team that you build. Which is an excellent feature that would be better if you could actually unlock characters at a decent rate. The only hope you have as a f2p or AAA spender to get an upgraded team is by dumb luck. This game was designed only to appease whales. If you have $700+ to blow on nothing else, then by all means go for it. But as it stands, I have seen content creators blow $5k to get what they wanted. The rewards are given to you as a f2p is only what you get for the first 20 levels after that expect to not get anything. If you grind every day for 7 days a week you should be able to get a 4* once a week. Once you have finished the first Act there is literally nothing but grinding that requires extra grinding to grind. I.E. the materials you need to level characters/weapons typically require you to use resin. You have a max resin of 120. It recharges at an abysmal rate. In one day if you play early in the morning and then later at night you should be able to spend about 160 resin in a day. This isn't enough daily to grind through to level weapons/characters unless of course, you spend that sweet in-game currency which is your only hope to acquire new characters. If you want one of those sweet 5* characters, as a f2p kiss that dream goodbye. You need 90 wishes to get one. Unless your stupid lucky that one time. Let's break this down, you get a 4* after 10 wishes, as a f2p you can get this once a week if you grind diligently every day. That means after 2 months you get to open a 5*. Updates with new characters are expected at this time period. They promised that there will be free events that will give rewards. This past event only gave 2 free wishes. This was factored into the average wishes per week. After level 40 you can kiss this sweet average goodbye. You will receive wishes based on chests which net you 1 - 5 gems, you need 160 for one wish. Daily missions can net you 40 gems. In-game rewards vary but will come to a roaring halt after level 40. I will revise my review if MiHoYo fixes the resin system and the rate to acquire primogems. I propose that they give more rewards for events, dailies, and more goals. I propose that with daily and heavy grinding a f2p player should be able to open a 5* once a month. With weapons needing 5 copies to max level and 6 copies of a character to max level, getting a 5* once a month should seem reasonable. They do offer a character banner that you can get a guaranteed 5* after the 2nd pity. Which is after 180 wishes. If they are changing the banner 1 - 2 months, as a f2p you are very likely to never hit the pity for the character you want, even when it's "guaranteed". If you are just looking for a quick f2p rpg that has plenty of exploration and a decent albeit generic story this is a great game. I would give it an 8. But since it throws the other characters and weapons behind a paywall that is nearly impossible unless you whale it out, it gets very generous 4. I hope they change it so it is more rewarding for the f2p and at the VERY least for those who decided to put some $$$ get more bang for their buck. Whales don't even need to be considered as they will throw as much $$$ as they can and won't need the content.

    As of right now, it seems like whales are going to plunge in more money. The company could care less for f2p. If you want to spend money, don't spend more than a AAA game as you will not receive ANYTHING close to what you should. The company is not going to reward players as long as people keep dropping paychecks every update. If you have the thousands to spend on this game, by all means go for it. But if your not ready to game hundreds of $$ don't waste your time or money.    … Expand

    After playing it for more than i should have ( around 40-50 hours ) I can safely say that It was a waste of my time. In fact EVERYTHING about this game is a waste of YOUR time.

    Sure in the beginning you feel rewarded, exploration is fun, getting used to the combat everything is fresh. However sink as little as 10 hours and you will realize that this game was meant to be PAY to PLAY.

    Gacha mechanics are a pure cancer. I have never enjoyed gambling and never will. There is NO WAY that anyone can say :" By adding gatcha mechanics this game can get better. " It is the opposite. Not only THE BEST CHARACTERS and THE BEST WEAPONS are LOCKED BEHIND LOTTERY / LOOT BOXES but also the CHARACTER PROGRESSION! ( some of the more powerful skills are locked behind Constellations ie. Skill Tree that you can only get by getting the DUPES of the same characters ).

    Co Op is laughable as you are VERY limited to what you can do ( because chests and RESIN - a currency that limits how many Dungeons/Bosses you can do in a day )...

    Combat is OVERHYPED and it revolves around DOING the MOST Elemental Combos ( that ofcourse REQUIRE 5 STAR Characters which I HAVE YET TO SEE or not since I have quit this game ). Not only there are no blocks or parries but you are pretty much forced to play around weaknesses of your enemies. If you don't have the damage well you are in for a LONG LONG and boring fight ( A lot of bosses such as FLYING ELEMENTALS can be only damaged when flying by archers or mages.... so yeah you will be WAITING A LOT... even more so when you haven't leveled your archer and the weapon you have hits like a wet noodle ).

    The World is beautiful, exploration is fun and the characters are likeable but underneath all this lies a greedy predator waiting for you to open your wallet. ON EVERY POSSIBLE STEP. Your progression will become VERY VERY STALE to the point of getting maybe 1 wish per 2 days.... that is 1 chance at a lottery. ( You will not get what you want and most of the weapons are garbage. ) I never got a character or a weapon that I wanted. Sure you can make multiple accounts because in the beginning they will shower you with free LOTTERY tickets but its a waste of time if you ask me.

    This could have been easily 7 or maybe even 8 out of ten but GATCHA and BORING COMBAT ( im sick of seeing SAME SLIMES and SAME GOBLINS ALL OVER THE PLACE! ) makes it for a really frustrating and slow experience. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.    … Expand

    Exploration is fun. I found it addictive and somewhat rewarding. The start of the game is easily 9 of 10 if not a full 10. Then the gacha mechanics start to kick in. The elemental combat system has been done and swapping characters to get elemental combos isn't really fun. The end game spiral abyss takes this mechanic to 11 requiring 2 teams to beat each floor.

    I'm currently AR lvl 38, almost 39. I've done most of the content that game offers, except abyssal dungeon (currently on floor 7-3). All story content ends at level 34 so you're left with 4 daily quests each day and 10 randomly spawned world events, if you've collected most of the games loot chests and other collectibles (geo fragments etc.)

    I haven't used any money to this game and neither should you. The current way how the system works, you need constantly resin (this games energy). As a free to play player, you'll run out of resin within 15-30 minutes of gameplay (daily). It'll take 15 hours to recharge full energy. If you want to buy gems (premium currency) to get more resin, even with 100 euros purchase you'd run out of resin approx in span of a few hours if you're hardcore player.

    The current monthly "subcription" that gives 90 primo gems daily feels borderline insulting if you think about the fact that it's only enough to refill your resin gauge by 60 points. Thats approx 1 elite boss, or 3 dungeons or 3 experience or money orbs that you can do / daily. You have to choose which content you're going to do, as energy isn't enough for all of it. All in all, that's about 15 minutes extra gameplay (daily).

    I'll update my review score if things change for the better. This game would easily get 8/10 but as it currently stands I give it 4/10. I'd love to give some money to the developers to support otherwise fun and well crafted game, but the way they are currently handling games energy system it feels very predatory and unfair.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must say the concept is well, quite good. But i give mixed score because of this :

    - Many say the graphic is good, and yes its good.... for a mobile game and not pc game standart (RDR 2 for me is still had the best graphic) and its not well optimized.

    - The UI is too crowded for me and i understand this because this is a mobile game first and foremost

    - PAIMON IS SO ANNOYING!!!

    - The open world is really interesting to explore at first hour. Collecting chest, exploring dungeons, killing enemies, doing side stories, etc. But after a while, the world feels somewhat empty and the game become quite repetitive at long play and somewhat become boring to play (dunno if this true at later updates though)

    - The stamina system is bad, almost everything you do cost a stamina (sprinting, climbing and gliding) and the weird part is all characters share the same stamina

    - The Gacha system is meh... the rate is so low and to get better characters (or waifus) and weapons, gacha is a must because all obtainable weapons in the world are pretty bad. I rather pay $60 and all characters( or waifus) and weapons can be unlocked by progressing the game rather than spend $100 to get a single character (or waifu) and weapon

    - Not just Gacha, the entire monetization in this game is sooo bad, other than paying to get the premium currency, there's also a monthly subscribtion and battle pass which you have to pay separately so you can gamble more for characters and weapons. The fact that this is a single player focus game is disgust me.

    - Oh and people who says don't need to pay and play f2p is fine is wrong. Yes you can play free but what if you already reach the endgame? You gonna have a hard time if you don't have 5 star character as the game will be getting more and more difficult (already experience it on Honkai Impact 3).

    I know this is a shameless copy of BOTW but this isn't bad at all, the game has its own taste with the themes and identity.

    I can't say the story is good or bad though but i really hope the story doesn't take too long to finish ( i say this because i play Honkai Impact 3rd and bored with the game because the story takes too long and no end in sight as of now and gameplay is too repetitive).

    Update 30 November 2020
    Already reach AR45 now and i don't think i'm gonna change my score anytime soon due to this
    - The game somewhat become boring due to lack of endgame content.
    - Already finish the chapter 1 story and the quailty is average to me, more or less a typical high fantasy story.
    - The resin system is kinda meh, limits my progress so much.
    - Once again, the gacha. Already got one 5 star character but too many 4 star due to low rate of the gacha, and i don't feel like to pay for primogems due to the low rate.
    Thank God this game doesn't win Ultimate game of the year of Golden Joystick Award, if this game win then gamers around the world is really evolving backwards (liking game that encourage gambling than premium but complete pay to play games).    … Expand

    Now I have to say the existence of the resin system itself is not the problem, but the fact that it so aggressively hinder your progress. This game require a lot of grinding, either for character exp, character limit break material, gold (or Mora in this game), character talent up material, weapon upgrade material, artifact which themselves has RNG drop AND substats decided by RNG. Tons of resource which you need for EACH character you want to invest to (and you want at least 8 properly geared characters for the endgame), all require resin just to farm at all. With the pitiful amount of resin available you get at best 1 hour of playtime each day, which is not too bad for a mobile game, but Genshin impact clearly strive to be something more. There is a beautiful open-world in this game but the resin system discourage me for immersing in it, and I don't feel like spending on getting new character because I can't properly levelling them up anyway.
    I would probably stick around with this game hoping for eventual fix to the resin system, but definitely would recommend it to anyone, or spending anymore money on it.    … Expand

    В первую очередь это пэйтувин игра на самой мерзкой и предательской системе монетизации в виде гач, девелоперы стараются по максимуму из людей высосать денег. И проблема даже не в том что есть донат и человек который донатит в игру будет очевидно сильнее тебя а в суммах которые нужно внести в игру что бы получить 5* звезд героя с полным созвездием по самым скромным расчетам нужно внести и больше 4 тысячи доларов и то если это герой с баннера на которого самый большой шанс. Что бы получить весь контент игры нужно минимум 20 тысяч доларов ( под контентом я имею ввиду полностью прокаченного героя и оружие, и получить его другими способами не представляется возможным)

    Второй вопрос это система стамины которую они взяли с подобных мобильных игр. Эта система может быть достаточно хорошо работает для казуальных мобильных геймеров которые заходят в игру на 20 мин во время обеда, но никак не для пк геймеров которые приходят домой после работы посидеть пару часиков в любимую игру, что бы у тебя была возможность поиграть в игру хотя бы пара часов без ограничений нужно внести нескромную сумму в порядка 10$ доларов за которые ты сможешь купить ту самую стамину и поиграть нормально. Для игроков же что не могут себе позводить оплачивать такую сумму каждую сессию оставили возможность бесконечно фармить сундуки которые разбросанны по миру и не представляют собой никакого интереса кроме как получить с них 2 единицы валюты что бы купить впоследствии стамины (которая за 6 штук стоит 840 этой самой валюты) что бы просто иметь доступ ка данжам за лут с которых прокачивается все в этой игре от артефактов до героев и оружия). Так самое печальное то что на все это нужно тратить монеты которые после окончания сюжетной линнии и квестов можно получить только фармя определенный данж тратя ту самую стамину. В итоге мы приходим к тому что все действия в игре упираются в стамину которую хватает на 20 мин в игре людям которые не могут траттить такие большие суммы на ее покупку.

    На всякий случай вот мой идентификатор в игре как подтверждение моих слов и то что я провел более 80 часов в игре и получил большинство достижений UID701191279

Even the gacha aspect is just fine imo, but these god forsaken croissants just had to be implemented to ruin your experience past a certain level. If you want to play just the story then drop the game, you'll have a nice and enjoyable experience. However if you decide to take it to the next level, you'd better have your wallet nearby or be insanely patient. So much potential wasted just makes my blood boil, this is really infuriating. I hope nothing but the worst for this company devoted to develop well designed games behind the thickest pay walls I have ever seen.… Expand

    По началу игра вас цепляет красивым бесшовным миром и симпатичными вайфу, наивным но приятным сюжетом, любопытной механикой боя, музыкой и общей атмосферой кавая. Нет серьезно вы просто не можете оторваться. Технические недоработки (странная работа камеры, невозможность изменить управление) не так сильно портят впечатления от игрового процесса.Но что происходит спустя 20-30 часов???

Технические недоработки (странная работа камеры, невозможность изменить управление) не так сильно портят впечатления от игрового процесса.Но что происходит спустя 20-30 часов???

    - вы упираетесь в нехватку ресурсов для прокачки
    - ограничение фарма тех самых ресурсов (золота и книжек опыта), система ограничения смолой просто убога ее нужно вырезать и забыть что такое было
    - отбитая система монетизации через гачу, стоит очень дорого, шанс выпадения страшно низкий
    - невозможность собрать вайфу отряд мечты с необходимыми способностями и весело пинать мобов, а все потому что рандом в системе монетизации
    - монетизация настолько дорога что это отбивает всякое желание вкладывать в нее деньги, посмотрите видео где люди реально вкидывают по 1000-3000$ и что они получают

    Потратив 60$ в игре вы не получите ничего хорошего взамен, соотношение цена контент просто смешное. Лучше купите Киберпанк и Ведьмака на сдачу.

    Основа игрового процесса это постоянный рост вашего вайфу отряда, использование разнообразных новых приемов, тактик и стихий. Я не сомневаюсь что разработчики добавят новый контент в игру и допилят нерабочие штуки. Но если они не поправят систему монетизации, не добавят возможность покупать конкретных нужных тебе героев на 4 звезды за адекватные деньги, то я не вижу смысла продолжать играть в это.

    Моя оценка китайскому шедевру, который я ждал больше Киберпанка
    5/5 стонущих Лиз и няшных заек Ембер
    0/5 за монетизацию
    -1 за ограничение фарма смолой

    It is a good and certainly fun game in the areas of history and exploration of the open world, with the bonus of being a free game to play.

    Довольно интересный сюжет, ради которого стоит поиграть в игру. Интересно побегать в открытом мире и изучать его (первые часов 10-20). Кроме сюжета и мира не могу выделить ничего особенного. Контента в игре по сути - нету. Единственное могу выделить бездну, но и с ней много проблем.

    Все жалуются на смолу, но проблема не только в ней. В игре нету цели. Зачем я нафармил себе артефакты и бегаю по миру? Я не знаю...
    Сама бездна может и дает неплохие (нет) награды, но чтобы пройти 5+ этаж нужно прокачивать неинтересных мне персонажей и тратить последнюю волюту, которой мало и фармить ее нет возможности.
    Весь патч 1.0 я сидел и верил, что разработчики смогут исправить минусы игры, хотя бы немного, но по анонсу 1.1, видно, что им наплевать, и она добавляют ивент, который просит 40 смолы.
    В игру можно было добавить по миру случаные события с очень сложными боссами и тактиками и хорошей наградой, в игру можно было добавить более сложные достижения, в игру можно было добавить больше сундуков и монстров, больше способов фарма чего угодно, но они добавили 4 персонажа и сюжет с ивентом (ЗА СМОЛУ).
    Вот я до последнего верил что разработчики из мобильной игры сделают хорошую нормальную игру. Но они просто плюют в лицо всем игрокам, и не дают цели и бесконечного (ну или хотя бы восстановление сундуков чаще) контента. Жалко, что в потенциале хорошая, игра, осталась мобильным мусором и играть дольше, 30 уровня приключений нет смысла.
    В итоге: Игра все же стоит внимания и можно пройти все задания и загадки, но сидеть и фармить бездну или артефакты, сейчас (и скорее всего вообще все патчи) - бессмысленно.    … Expand

    We got 2 more hours of gameplay after 1.1 update. And that's all you need to know. There aren't any solved problems. And I just realised, that even after they add another region to explore, they won't add anything, except some more hours of gameplay. No fixed endgame and no more reason to play. I feel abused. I'll drop this.

    Graphics are great, the world is great, the overall experience for the first bit is really immersive and fun. Then the Mobile cash grab catches on. Leveling requirements start to overwhelm you with ridiculous material requirements. Great Potential, Greed strikes again.

    I'll give it a four for the artists, concept artists, the orchestra, voice acting and the people responsible in making a beautiful environment for this game.
    it has a great potential, but it's all about gacha(loot boxes) with impossibly hard rolls, expensive micro-transactions(if you don't know, micro-transactions means paying with real life money), and the quests are a chore to do (It's    I'll give it a four for the artists, concept artists, the orchestra, voice acting and the people responsible in making a beautiful environment for this game.
    it has a great potential, but it's all about gacha(loot boxes) with impossibly hard rolls, expensive micro-transactions(if you don't know, micro-transactions means paying with real life money), and the quests are a chore to do (It's really boring sometimes). You get useless weapons if you "roll" and your chances of getting another character is low.
    Gameplay is repetitive if you've played other game titles in a PC or a Console. At first, it's okay. But the longer you play; a few weeks of playing or you're in AR(Adventure rank, similar to level) 20+ in game, the game gets empty and bland. Not much for you to explore or see. Bosses becomes insanely hard for no reason despite character upgrades + high level.
    I would personally choose Fallout 4 over this game. At least Fallout 4 doesn't have a companion in high pitch voice following you around(And no, you can't change my mind about Paimon. She's quite annoying and you can't get rid of her in-game.)
    The game features CO-OP, but due to the game having not much to do(you can't do story mode together), you and your friend can't really do much.
    The controls are okay and the mechanics is a so-so. The elements mechanics in the battling system was nice to have.
    I prefer having more controller vibration detection, it makes me feel more immersed. It would be nice to have more vibrations on arrow shooting, sword swinging, special abilities used, etc and not just explosions.
    It's a fun-okay game, but it requires dedication for the grinding(Don't grind too much, it can make you feel dizzy due to prolonged exposure to bluelight, so don't grind for hours non-stop. Please. It happens to me and you will feel sick, dizzy and nauseous. Don't forget to eat, drink and rest. You are not a mechanical machine.)
    Openly minded, I like this game. However, the developers might want to add more monsters and not just playable characters(they add playable characters a LOT. It would be nice to see other monsters that you can fight) as well improve the controls and mechanics on console and pc gamers.
    Overall, I would recommend this game to anime fans who got time on their hands or if you are just bored and wanted to play this game for **** and giggles. But I personally wouldn't recommend this game for gamers who mainly focus on the story as it can be frustrating to play( as you need to grind and level up to a certain level just to proceed with story.)    … Expand

A beautiful game, made by an incompetent company, that can't even avoid hacking accounts. MiHoYo is extremely bad and miserable. You don't know how to add content to the game itself, they don't farm enemies that are still there, without respawn chests, without EXP, without Mora (Gold), protecting nothing and constantly activating the combat camera that has become a joke after hours of game. Bad coop, constant RNG on equipment focused on bad status (Def and HP) taken from games like Epic Seven (which is one of the biggest and most hated problems of the E7 franchise).

    Constant release of 5-star limited characters, with no recourse to upgrade them and no places to use them. Unfortunately this game should have learned more from games like Ragnarok Classic, Warframe and other MMORPGs and less from greedy Gachas. I think that a PVP can never exist in this game, because it is rotten and poorly planned with the sole intention of plagiarizing quality franchises like Zelda BotW and Nier Automata, focused only on Whale players who have the constellations completely.

    Free players will only take 5 star weapons on regular banners or the character Jean (practically everyone who plays has her) who should be 4 star, but they forced her into that rank, probably to deceive players (Nigguang was already 5 stars, but they dropped their rank and unfortunately killed Jean).

    Bad, stressful events (Xiao's event will be like that too, I guarantee). Abyss is unfair in the extreme, absurdly difficult even for PC users (let alone on smartphones) resetting only the last 4 floors, making it impossible for beginning players (F2P also won't make the abyss easily) to complete it, to catch the miserable rewards. In CBT it was said that there was a complete reset of the abyss, but the ridicule of miHoYo, as it always does everything wrong.

    I insist on saying, do not play. Not worth it. Play Persona 5 on your Playstation, Zelda on your Swtch or Nier and Final Fantasy 15 on your Xbox, but don't play this disgrace here.    … Expand

    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]

    Oh, the joy of exploring this beautiful world. Oh, the clever combat, the great voice acting, the compelling story. This is one of the best RPGs of the year. And it’s almost beyond comprehension that you can get it for free.

    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.
