    Pretty solid for a F2P game, but not perfect. The resin system can be improved. The rate at which it recharges is acceptable, but the 120 cap is terrible. Its like you have to wait for 12 hours to fully recharge your resin, and you can spend all your 120 resin in like 15 mins just doing few domains, and you have to wait again.

The game gets pretty grindy once you get past AR30, but thats kinda expected for games like this. The gacha rate are horrendous as well. Storyline is alright.

    Also, why only support 60fps? Honkai impact 3, a game from the same developer supports up to 120FPS, so its weird why MiHoyo just didnt implement 120FPS support for this game as well.

    The best thing about GI is the rewarding exploration and the characters.    … Expand

    Pros:

    Really nice looking adventure game with really good movement animations. Interesting quests, nice music. A lot of details and useful functions. Cons: Very clunky system, controls feels sluggish. The progression system is pretty much dice and roll to get 5 star, 4 star characters and weapons with super low drop rates. Its like lottery which is normally regulated by agencies    Pros:

Its like lottery which is normally regulated by agencies that regulate gambling. Login rewards. Like so many other mobile games, but definitely unsuited for this type of game.

    Progression are locked behind map exploration and mini quests like that of guild wars 2. But in guild wars 2 map exploration is purely optional. Very very slow movement speeds to make sure you can't progress quickly.

    Flying is exactly the same as guild wars 2, even the rate of decline and updraft mechanic, they work and look essentially the same. I can understand the game choosing a climb and glide gameplay, but the way gliding is done just tells you that its a straight up copy and it is done to restrict movement and slow game progression.

    Conclusion:

    Largely a copycat with different skin challenging the originals. Could have been top game if done properly. End game maybe better but it will take too long to get there. Something that's ok for casual relaxation. May change with game updates.    … Expand

    It feels really weird. They avoided a lot of pitfalls that even BotW took a nosedive into (You're Zelda.

    They also have a intrincate elemental system that has it's flaws (electro end game scaling) but hey, it's complex and deep in a genre that people (Blizzard) seem to cater for gold fishes with low attention spam. And they have that in a game that flows like a modern Assassin's Creed.

    And yet, they bottled it with the resin system. This is the screwed up world were ARPGs are into: it's better to make a great game and kill it with a stupid system and profit with gacha AND pay to progress instead of making an AAA ARPG with reasonable monetization (cosmetics).

    The worst part is, while I would rather have silence than a tone-deaf response - I get it.

    I don't like the feeling that this whole thing tells more about the stock market disguised as gaming industry than about Mihoyo and Genshin. I don't like the feeling that, in the screwed up world we are into, Mihoyo could be "right".

    Into the paywalls:

    - The gacha system is a gacha, but it also is the least of your problems. It's a PvE game and the 4 star trash can clear it. It's garbage can, not garbage can't - and some non-5-star suports are even S tier, mind you. Same applies for some non-dps weapons and the farmable DPS wepons are A tier, not D tier.

    - There is a resin (energy) system that could makes it pay to progress - if it didn't have a cap after you pay a little bit. This is the firs wall you'll encounter, but not the last nor the tallest.

    - Unique items to max talents have a low drop rates on bosses you can fight once a week. This is "it".

    So yeah. They made a good game you can't enjoy at your pace past a certain point not even if you whale. That's bad design. That would be easy to fix (remove the energy system, reduce boss respwan timers form one week to one minute). If only they could give a damn...    … Expand

At face value this game is fantastic with decent gameplay and cast of characters with good visuals and sound/music. But let me go through the good and the bad with this review:

    -The Good-

    -The Zelda BotW looking style is really good and captures the inspiration of the game. Even running in the lowest graphics setting on pc the game still looks good.

    -There are two regions of the game one being the fantasy land themed region of Mondstadt which is the starting region and is the smaller of the two available regions and then the other being the Oriental fantasy themed area of Liyue which is the larger region. While the smaller region is pretty simplistic with enemy camps and some small villages here and there the larger region is filled with villages, ruins, mining encampments and other areas of discovery. Both maps even have their special statues that are called statue of the 7 which both regions have their own version themed around their own element that region worships as well as their own Oculus tokens to collect to max out the shrine of the region which gives adventure experience, currency, and even increase your stamina cap so you can run, climb, swim, etc more as you journey.

    -The story is pretty ok for your typical anime adventurer from another world please help us do things as you look for your lost sibling scenario, I think what shines is the cast of characters you can meet along in your journey which you can also unlock as playable but the only issue is its through the gacha.

    -The combat with characters you have is simple but highly customizable in a way. Each character you collect or get lucky to get are based around one of the 7 respective elements. While using different weapons, their combat styles along with accessories and element team composition play a role in how you will play. Elements even have a combined effect next to strengths and weaknesses to one another where you can really dish out damage, gain more defense against, or even break shields of an element yours is strong against.

    -Standard gameplay is pretty much like BotW, people new to it will be ticked because of the stamina system but those who have played it won't be bothered because this game goes by the same principles. like jumping at the last bit of stamina to get that leap of faith jump to climb to top or finding different slope angles to rest on. There is even cooking in this game which plays a big role in your adventure where collecting everything nailed down really helps in your cooking, crafting, forging, etc.

    -The Bad-
    While the game is good with the positives the negatives is what really drops this games score down:

    -This is the big sting to this game. One this is a gacha game first and foremost since made by a Chinese developer nuff said. The character rates in this game is really bad with 5* characters having a 0.6%, 4* Characters and weapons being 5.1% and the rest filled by useless 3* weapons. This alone is the largest stink of the game since you would like to play the characters more than get useless gear that will just end up being used to level up your better 4* weapons that you craft or get unluckily out of the gacha. There is a pity system where every 10 pulls give you a 4* anything but it takes roughly 100 pulls to get a 5* while that does not sound bad the next worse thing on this is next.

    -Lacking ways to get primogems which is the currency needed to do your gacha pulls. The rates used to be 5-10 per chest opened in beta but on release they nerfed it through the ground where common chest you get nothing and every other chest just tiers up from 2,5, and 10 based on chest rarity. All this to funnel you to spend nearly $200 usd to get that 5* pity pull since the price for the premium currency which converts to primogems on a 1 to 1 basi. A streamer even spent $2k irl money to get the chracter he wanted and then you have to turn around and pull them 6 more times to level their constellation 4* not much an issue if you get banner for them come up but terrible if you want to level the 5*.

    The limiting system is also bad since it gates the 28+ game really hard. You only get 120 resin with barely any consumables to replenish it besides the ones you get for level up you can only use once. And doing dungeons to get stuff cost 20 resin to run while mini world bosses cost 40 and big bosses cost 60 and you only fight them once per week. It also costs $10 to use the 6 recoveries you are allowed to with primogems.

    -Chests in game all drop garbage items besides a few select. You do get better rarities at higher world levels but it still ends up as all garbage for endgame and only reason to open them is increase AR.    … Expand

    I love the characters. Even though each type has its own mechanics mastering them and building them is part of the enjoyment so you will always have fun. Top tier waifus:
    Lisa (Ara, Ara…)
    Mona (Perfect buns)
    Noelle (Naughty of closet + the girl that you end up marrying one day)
    Barbara (Ufff... + the girl that you end up marrying one day)
    Ningguang (Professional model legs)

    *Enjoyment: 9/10*
    ===============
    Clearing domains with your build up character is really satisfying. I only wish the bosses that you find in the outside world would've being related to the story instead of just being "there" waiting to be beaten. The lack of toxic players amazes me, I've never encounter one and mostly all of them are like :3

    Really nice and wholesome experiences in co-op. It makes me wonder what is the game demographics.

    *Overall: 7*
    ===========
    This is a great game, which unfortunately its censorship and gacha mechanics ruin it. I wouldn't mind paying 40 or 50 box for this game, it deserves it, but seeing people paying from 5k to 10k to get the characters that they want… that's just insane! No game is worth that money no matter how beautiful its world is or how great its characters are.
    If you go for the F2P route you won’t be disappointed, the game will be more challenging but it will feel more rewarding. Just please bear in mind that it might take up to a year to get the characters that you want because you will have to grind and grind hard.    … Expand

You can aquire new characters with better skills than others with the Gatcha system, but it's not the only way of getting them (some are currently only obtainable through the Gatcha but the game is only 2 months old and already there are have been about 2-3 events every month where you can easily get those, and the amount of characters only obtainable through Gatcha decreases.).
    The stamina system doesn't prevent you from doing much of anything in a single day, it prevents you from repeating the same mission 10 times a day to get the best loot, preventing balancing problems. Every other quest which you get either daily, with a certain level or just by exploring the world do not require this stamina.

If you don't pay attention to the retarded story and annoying voice acting, there's a pretty well-defined gameplay loop with reasonably satisfying physics that would really REALLY benefit from being able to actually co-op the game instead of just killing stuff together. It's obvious the developers care about the game more than any other freemium pay-to-win mobile shovelware, with around ten trillion hours of reading if you actually care about the paper-thin plot and characters. Their premium (P2W) currency isn't terribly priced and doesn't really do much aside from give you good gear, however they have methods through which you can get those items without paying, so nothing remains exclusive. Even if the characters lore is shallow, each one feels like they could be viable and are very fun to use if given the proper gear and levels. The combat is really satisfying, usually requiring you to use a mixture of ranged and melee attacks kind of like the combat for Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's not a masterpiece but it's definitely a fun game with caring developers.… Expand

    At first I would definitely have pushed an 9/10.

    But now, I am extremely divided between whether MiHoYo wants to create a favorable universe to all kind of players, or is completely obsessed with money.

    After initiating my critical awareness and thinking three times about it, I realized that something is very wrong.

    Never forget this is a Gacha and sadly one with the worst possible rates and very expensive, those who enjoy the world at its full potential are the same ready to spend thousands of dollars, or the luckiest free to play players, and yet they tried to target a larger audience? Lel.

    Who thinks as a free to play player, that farming a whole month for nothing when it comes to pull Gacha for new content was a good idea? Do they hate us that much for not paying enough?

    Before going to the positive stuff we have to speak about the negative content.

    - Terrible rates.
    - Pity system not so pity.
    - Cannot target lock.
    - Cannot skip cutscenes... (lucrative reasons).
    - Cannot reroll secondary stats with the artifacts (for example we could use resin to reroll secondary stats).
    - Artifact sets do not have the same drop rate within dungeons.
    - Artifact sets drop rate terribly unbalanced (one set may loot too much often than another), as it’s not hard enough having the right main and secondary stats.
    - No global playing time indication.
    - User ID always shown at the bottom right corner.

    And now for the good part!

    An amazing work has been done to the universe, it is a pleasure to explore what the world has to offer.

    The characters are very charismatic, weeb oriented design and yet really well developed in their story and personality!

    The voice cast is really good and for the first time of my life I have a preference for Chinese dub in a video-game!

    The freedom of movement (walk, run, swim, and climb) with the fluidity of the animation powered by Unity Engine makes it a true pleasure for exploration and the rp aspect, and did I mention you can soar in the air with your glider?

    The variety of artifacts and weapons gives you the opportunity to make diverse loadouts to maximize firepower of your party.

    You can coop with your friends for much more pleasure!

    In conclusion, the game could be compared to a jewel stuck in a haystack, the hay is the Gacha, remove it or improve it, and there you have your 9/10 game! But for now (although it's a pain in the ass to say that) there is no way it can score more than a 7/10.    … Expand

    -Gacha
    -Relatively generous gifts during launch week
    -Very very low droprates (if you're f2p forget max tier troops ever dropping)
    -No guarantee system which you can use to buy any troop/weapon you want after pulling X amount of times meaning you might play for months and months if not years never getting what you actually wanted (it doesnt need to be too easy to earn that, it can take a month of two of play for example, look at the mileage system in Guardian Tales)

    TL:DR
    The game basically plays like your average MMORPG except you grind endlessly towards a character/weapon that you no only didnt design but may not even like/want (welcome to gacha). Another problem to the empty feeling world that the MMO wouldnt have is the actual multiplayer aspect of it, here you just follow the generic chosen one trope main questline totally alone in that big world making the game pretty pointless to anyone who doesnt want to play it purely for its initial world exploration and gameplay. But again given that 70% of gameplay is running for 4 seconds before your stamina depleats > walk until it fills up > repeat, 20% of gameplay is navigating game menus and the rest of that, 10% or less is actual combat which is not that bad but nothing too incredible either.

    Check out gameplay/characters/world online, if you like any of it then try the game out given that its free and fun at the start, enjoy while it lasts and uninstall if/when it gets boring.    … Expand

    HOWEVER, those who gave 10 out of 10 are just hilarious and biased, and I guarantee most of them are scams, or those players aren't reaching lv30 by now. Daily quests are extremely repetitive, and the whole open world is lack of re-exploration contents. This game IS a p2w game (a Chinese mobile game developer, what else do you expect?), and it has not one, not two, not three, not four, but five monetization systems, four of which are extremely profitable (battle pass, monthly subscription, skins (upcoming patch), and the gacha system (0.6% for 5-star characters OR weapon in one pool? Are you serious?). Several characters are vital for your experience (i.e., Wendy, Diruc, and Keqing), and their lower-tier substitutions are nowhere as good as they are. The main character (5-star) is underpowered, and several 4-star/5-star characters are also useless or underpowered except some specific mechanics in the game (yeah I am talking to you, Amber and Jean). Also, poor optimization for phones (so I don't know why people are rating 10/10 if they are playing on a phone). Poor rewards for explorations, quests, or even battle pass.

    I don't think this game deserves a score of 0/1 or 9/10 to be honest. Let's see if the operation designer can handle the game better (they screwed up the mid-autumn fest and Chinese national day, there isn't any event and Chinese players are pissed off).    … Expand

    В целом, игра не плохая. Прекрасное музыкальное сопровождение, графика вполне не плохая, с сюжетом всё ок. Открытый и интересный мир. Много персонажей за который можно поиграть, но их нужно выбивать. Доната вроде и умерено, а вроде и много. И бп, и энергия которая копится через определённое количество времени и т.д.

    -The game's story is good.
    -The characters and its elemental resonance makes new meta in every update
    -Free to play-gacha based game
    -The negative comments mostly taked about resin, gacha system, empty world etc.. Honestly idc.. as long as it has anime tiddies.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).. -The good thing, the developer made the pity system, so this game won't be a totally hell game..

    The world of MMOs gets bigger and bigger and this has good reasons namely discovering an unknown never ending world, fighting the toughest battles, being connected with people from the whole world and developing your own character whereas you identify yourself with him.

    A few years ago i heard about Genshin Impact but at the first glance i wasn't interested in it because as far as i understood it was a Single Player MMO or something what i have found weird.
    Last week it got my attention again and following the quote "The taste comes with eating" i gave it a shot.

    The intro starts with a brother and sister who have mighty personalities but an enemy appeared. Now you can choose to be the brother or the sister. Depends on your decision you will be separated from your family and then the journey begins.

    In your journey a cute and adorable mystic girl named Paimon accompany you in order to find and save your family. In the meantime you meet many peoples and stories what give Genshin Impact a recognizable face.

    The World is quite huge and detailed. I saw two cities and especially the second city which has real asian style was very beautiful and invites you to stay there even longer. The Flora and Fauna is also well integrated into the world whereas the weather conditions have a negative impact on your health.

    I like the anime-style and the characters i just met are detailed and are irreplaceable characters

    The soundtrack is very cool and contains an asian-flair that creates a deepening and serious atmosphere in Genshin Impact. The composer really knows what he is doing. The music still is in my mind what confirms the right choice of the soundtrack.

    Right now i'm in the prologue so i can't tell too much concerning the story. What i can tell is that the family that you try to save could become your enemy. The other thing is that the enemy who appeared in the intro seems to have a personal interest in you but it is not clear what she is really up to. These elements cause question marks and that's why following the story line is motivating.

    You are in a Four-Man-Squad and you fight the battle with one person whereas you can switch easily to the other warrior. There is basic-attack, special-attack and a very special-attack but there seems to be no counter-attack. Every warrior has a different style and how to attack. It is right that you can develop your own character very very far while you can unlock certain talents. Unfortunately your character cannot learn more new attacks.
    In connection to this kind of Development and Battle-System the Gacha-System takes a huge and important place in Genshin Impact. There are many characters that you can get in the Gacha-System whereas you can another characters through certain story-lines. But i have to admit that the fighting style of the characters in the Gacha-System is more interesting and refined than the other ones you can get in the story itself. The Gacha-System offers three banners which includes 4- and 5-Stars characters. I noticed that mainly the 5-Stars characters can cause a very-special-attack with an animation while i love the animation-attacks.

    Well, now we come to an issue with what many Genshin-Warriors have a problem. In order to get these 5-Stars characters you have to spend for example about 150-200 € in one banner. You have to draw a 10x-Ticket (in Genshin Impact it is called: Prayer) about 9-10 times to get a 5-Stars Character whereas there is a high chance that you get 4-Stars Characters. We are lucky that there is a pity-system or else it would be even worse. The problem is that you can draw a character you already have. In such cases you can get an exchange. You also get other kind of coins which you can spend at the Tradesman.
    My point of view is that it is reasonable to get the necessary money so that you can finance Genshin-Impact, new projects like "Zenless Zone Zero", the company, the employees and even the cleaning ladies. Paying at maximum 50-60 € per month would be very fair but not 150-180 €. To be honest, i just checked if there is some sort of a subscription-pass like in other MMO and yes there is one. You can get a pass for about 10,99 € and you can get a subscription for 4,99 € where u can get the necessary coins day for day. This pass for about 10 € is available at Adventurer-Level 20.
    This seems to be fair but nevertheless the users are very frustrated of the Gacha-System anyway. So seeing it in a long term i cannot tell if the pass is the solution of the whole Gacha-Issue.

    It would be useful to create a subscription-pass with a price of 10 to maximum 50-60 € per month and depending how much you pay you can get more coins for buying the tickets. So it would be great that if you pay 50-60 €, you get more than 12000 crystal coins for drawing the 10xTickets. I think this kind of concept could lower the frustration-grade of the Genshin-Warrior.

    Conclusion: 7/10    … Expand

Даже те, кто имеют задание легенд, оставляют кучу вопросов и недосказанностей. Концовку можно было сделать гораздо интереснее). Ну и конечно хотелось бы больше наград для free to play игроков, а то накопить 90 круток(70-80 софт гарант) и выиграть 50 на 50 для героя которого хочешь очень трудно. Но конечно игра имеет огромное количество плюсов, такие как музыка и визуал игры, благодаря которым уже целый год (я играю еще с патча 1.0, но переодически покидая игру на небольшие сроки) я слежу за обновлениями игры и самой компании, получая удовольствие, но к сожалению находя огромное кол-во минусов в игре, на которые почему то не обращают внимания разработчики. Надеюсь, что в будущем разработчики будут больше контактировать с комьюнити, учитывая их предпочтения и недовольства, а также проявлять к нему внимание!… 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.
