    Great free-to-play game that can give you 50-60 hours of cool gameplay with amazing plot and interesting characters.

    Q. How to be sure players are not having too much fun?
    A. Implement "stamina" system, in game that pretends to be single player.

    Q. How to be REALLY sure players are not having too much fun?
    A. Make limit of "stamina" and it's refresh rate ****

    Q. How to be REALLY REALLY sure players are not having to much fun?
    A. Make endgame a grindfest in pair with 0.6% 5* rate (which may not even be a character).

    Q. How to avoid players complaining about DLCs, not finished content and stuff like this?
    A. Pretend you add new content in "patches", timegating players from finishing this piece of crap too fast and forgetting about it.

    Q. What is an ideal type of endgame content?
    A. An exploration simulator in empty world ripped from botw/xc2/tales of/pick your favourite.

    Q. How to please CCP?
    A. Censor Taiwan and Hong Kong on CN server, who cares about freedom, when dollars are involved?

    PS. Dear weebs, no it's not revolutionary game, it's another predatory gacha with timegating content and making endgame a textbook example of grindfest.

    2. 5* character. The percentage is small but you get a 90 opening guarantee,
    and that's okay! Since you do not pump all the characters at once. The game can be played with standard characters and many of them are not weaker and you will definitely get 4 * character and eventually 5 * .
    3. No content after AR 35+ . That's **** It shouldn't be too much since the game has just been released and updates are planned every 5 weeks, and even now, the developer pleases with mini events and additional quests.
    4. Zelda clone. There are simply no words! Any game can then be said to be a clone of some other game. Example: Horizon zero dawn clone of Witcher 3 clone of Skyrim clone of Gothic ...

    Conclusion!
    Do not listen to the commentators, play it yourself, and remember that this is a FREE GAME !!!

    Great exploration game. Doesn't need to spend so much $$$ to advance in the game. The Resin system is good for me because I can't play so much in a day. This controls others from advancing too much. Anyway, the game is free. I don't know why some people are asking for too much. Low gacha rate? Don't pull. Expensive crystals? Don't buy. No one is forcing you.

    Genshin is a fun RPG. The story is pretty good. Maybe there is too much characters at some points. The dialogues are good. I really like Paime's lines.

    The combat is action with around two special powers. Really engaging. There are camera strange placements at times. The levelling mechanics is the frustrating part. Those of the characters are super fast and you gonna miss a lot of items to ascend. The adventure rank is another one, which is super slow (on purpose to make you buy, of course). After you reach level 20 with adventure rank the story abruptly halt, and you have to grind your way around. Then is goes again at 24, and to reach 26, it would take days/weeks of boring tasks.

    World quest do exist but they are not on the map, which makes them hard to find. I don't like a levelling system that is broken in two parts like that. It makes everything more complex then managing a character or a party. I must say there is a lot of nice RPG stuff too. Like cooking, creating potions, making or upgrading weapons. There is no real armours, only accessories of 6 types that you can upgrade. The under layers of upgrades are rich, no doubt about that. But there is a lack of simplicity, in my opinion.

    I give it a 62%. It's free and fun.

    Update: I have lower my score. The story doesn't move after level 25 and everything revolve around grinding. Since the game is only a partial product it's not surprising, but the way the grinding works isn't that fun. I heard about resin, that seems even worst. I have uninstalled the game, and I would be surprised if I ever go back again. Beating elite bosses 3 times to get a level item, isn't my idea of fun.
    And there was a credit card fraud after I bought into that game. 20 days after (no transactions after that). You draw your conclusion on the safety of their servers or employees. No support for that.    … Expand

    Putting aside the fact that this game is free and i will only recommend it if you really have nothing better to do ,sure it is fun at times i would even say it does really give an amazing first impression, but ultimately its just below average game for me and here is why

    -Uninspired this is one of the biggest gripe i had with the game ,this might very well be the most uninspired game of this generation ,which says alot since this generation is so filled with uninspired games even worse than dark souls clone ,this however takes it to ridiculous heights even the damn map looks almost exactly the same as Botw ,it tries to steal so many gameplay mechanics from breath of the wild and sure this really does sound great on paper it ultimately fails miserably i will explain later on in this review ,it even steals some animations from nier automata and it has an uninspired anime artstyle to pander to weebs because they are the ultimate simps who will spend their money on an anime waifu.

    -Gameplay mechanics are shallow and just dont work well together ,like the characters can do all sorts of flashy moves but god forbid if they sprint or climb their stamina will deplete ,this is kind of like the opposite of what nintendo does ,nintendo adds few gameplay mechanics and build an entire game around it ,GI however just shoehornes mechanics from very popular games and add gacha on top of it and just expects it to work ,elemental combos started out great but later on it just became awful ,same with RPG mechanics do you know why? because these mechanics have not been worked upon lack depth and are just added for the sake of more content.

    -It just baffles me that reviewers and many people praise the story, im not expecting planescape torment or Disco Elysium but has the bar really been this low? the story is the most generic anime garbage i have seen in a while and unless you enjoy that stuff im not judging ofc ,the praise for this games story is as empty as this game.

    -Awful dungeon and boss design this is part of my complaint on how the game shoehornes uninspired gameplay mechanics and expects it to work ,the dungeons suffer from the same thing.

    -Enemies lack variety and are poorly designed

    -side content/quest are mediocre at best ,poorly designed and will get repetitive later on

    **** Endgame and resin system if you read most reviews here you will get what im saying so i dont think i will need to echo what everyone has already said countless of times.

    Overall i only recommend this game if you want something for free and have literally NO game in the backlog you might even enjoy the first part of the game but ultimately it will fall apart later on ,i hope next time we see something that is original and has depth unlike this mess of a game    … Expand

As soon as you get past the first set of story quests, around ar30, you start to realize that just how much time and effort it will take to LEVEL, not build, but level just 1 character and their talents out. Then you factor in how long it'll take to farm a certain artifact set, to give you an idea here's how it is: you grind a domain and random artifacts drop, sets DO NOT have equal chance to drop (some sets are proven to drop more likely than the better versions). Now suppose an item from your set drops, the next rng is that is it even the item piece you need (flower, feather, goblet, etc.) and after that you need to see if it even rolled the proper stat (atk, atk%, elem %, etc.) that you need for your character. THIS ISN'T EVEN MIN MAXING, THIS IS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET A VIABLE SET PIECE! Min maxing is next to impossible because you'd be aiming for all of the above + a bunch of rng substats.
    So from an average, non-min-maxing player's perspective this is: rng ^ rng ^ rng, but that's not accurate either because each of those rng aspects are not equivalently balanced both amongst their own respective category and each other.
    AND THIS IS ALL LOCKED BEHIND A RESIN STAMINA WALL! Above that, this is just 1 character! You have an entire party to build, 2 parties if you participate in abyss!
    Nearly everything is locked behind resin: Adventure rank (most experience is gained through resin requiring dungeons/bosses), mora (in game currency), character xp cards, talent mats, weapon ascension mats, character ascension mats, artifacts.
    HELL they even have these 2 weekly bosses which you can only get rewards from once a week, but that too requires you to use 60 aka HALF of your max available resin!
    The only thing not locked behind resin is open world chests, daily commissions, abyss (but abyss is also time gated before refresh).    … Expand

    I have spent around 300$ to get characters but i cannot level them up without spending more - resources are limited hard by "resin" which is pay2play greedy mechanic.
    I have played few gacha games, but this is outrageous. If it was just a mobile game for 5 minutes a day i would understand, but they advertised it as some kind of JRPG, and it is clearly not.

    avoid at all costs unless you want to invest thousands, this game is not f2p friend nor "dolphins" friendly, so if you planned to spend few hundred, don't bother.    … Expand

    This game could have been Breath of the Wild on PC, but it will die as another Gacha mobile game that was just a cash grab in the end.

    Pros: - Gameplay is great - Combat is very good - Explorations and quests are also great (until they are gone) - Music is lovely Cons: - One of the worst Gacha rates in the industry. Let me break numbers to you. To get a 5* item (keep in mind,    This game could have been Breath of the Wild on PC, but it will die as another Gacha mobile game that was just a cash grab in the end.

    Pros:
    - Gameplay is great
    - Combat is very good
    - Explorations and quests are also great (until they are gone)
    - Music is lovely

    Cons:
    - One of the worst Gacha rates in the industry. Let me break numbers to you. To get a 5* item (keep in mind, just a 5* item, it can be a character or a weapon), you need to get at least 90 pulls (pulls are basically loot-boxes of this game). Let's say you really like that one 5* character that you want. Here are your chances. So your chance to get 5* character is 0.3%. There are 8 5* characters so you getting the one you want is 0.0375% (it will get even lower when they will add more 5* heroes). JUST THINK ABOUT HOW LOW IS THAT NUMBER. But there is a pity system, that guarantees that you'll get 5* item or character at 90th pull and guarantees a character pull after 180th pull (if you didn't get one on your 90th pull). To translate that to in-game currency, you need to spend $220 to get 90 pulls. $220 and you are not even guaranteed to get a character. This is an insult to anyone who has IQ over 10. Whale or not, the more you go into the math of Genshin the more you'll see how they are one of the worst companies when it comes to monetization. To compare, EA, the devil of loot-boxes have higher drop rates in FIFA games. Oh and to max your character or weapon, you need 5 duplicates. Good luck getting them, unless you are willing to spend literally 10K+.
    - Primogem gain abysmal. Primogems are an in-game currency which is used to purchase pulls (loot boxes). You need 160 primogems to get 1 pull, however, if you are a free-to-play player, after you are done with all the quests, you will be barely able to do 30 pulls per month. So basically you'll only get your 5* item after 3 months of boring grinding every day.
    - Resin AKA stamina system that is used in mobile games. Basically, you need resin the most important parts of the game. You only get around 180 resin per day and you only need 15 minutes to use it all up. Imagine being a PC player and wanting to play the game for hours and hours after a hard day at works but you can only do it for 15 minutes because once resins run out, you can't do any dungeons to get materials, and boy you will need A LOT of materials to upgrade your weapons and characters. Resin systems work for mobile because mobile players mostly play for a very short amount of time. However, you don't boot up your pc/ps4 for doing 4 daily quests and 3 bosses per day. It is more of a chore. Oh, and items drop only on certain days. So you had free time on Friday instead of Tuesday? Well suck it up and wait for the next day for your upgrade materials to drop. The Resing system doesn't need a rework. It needs to be removed altogether.
    - EXP gained and money rewards are not scaled by the world difficulty. You invested in a character that you don't want to play anymore? You got another character you want to level up now? Hope you didn't waste your EXP books because it will literally take you WEEKS only doing EXP activities (that of course require your resin). That just denied you to farm weapon/character materials. This game actively hates you and keeps you away from having fun.
    - There is no endgame. And the little content there is, it's being blocked by this atrocious resin system.

    TL;DR
    This game had the potential to be something great. Something unique, but I guess money is more important than a reputation. And people who defend it with arguments "THis iS a gAcHa GamE" are just the worst. Those who settle for mediocrity deserve nothing good in their lives.    … Expand

    But...
    If you have any intention of playing the game beyond that initial burst of gameplay you are going to start seeing issues very quickly. There are some technical issues such as not being able to change key-binds or turn off frame-rate locks but MiHoYo has already said they intend to fix those in 1.1, the real issue is in the monetization.
    1. Its a gatcha game, so all of your characters except a sparse few you get for free when you start, are going to come from lootboxes - in this game called "Wishes" - given the nature of this game that is to be expected, but in GI the rates are absolutely terrible. 0.6% chance of a 5* and 5.1% chance of a 4* with 100% pity rolls at 90 and 10 wishes respectively in theory this wouldn't be so bad if the game gave you lots of free rolls, and it does... at the start. But after that you stop getting free premium currency almost all together (60/day from dailies, while wishes cost 160) and free wish items Acquaint Fates or Intertwined Fates also start to become very rare likely in the range of about 1/wk after AR 40 - This becomes an issue when you look at the cost of primogems combined with the droprates the first time you buy primogems you get a 1x bonus so 6,480+6,480 for $100 which equates to only 81 wishes while after the first time purchase bonus it drops to 6,480+1600 for $100 which is only 50.5 wishes - the rate up banner gives you a 50% chance of pulling the character featured so if you really want that character and don't pull it on the first pity you have to wait for the 2nd pity at 180 wishes, That's $300 to 100% get the character from the banner and if you want other 5*s not featured in the banner you are looking at thousands potential 10s of thousands of dollars to get the character you want, keep in mind that after you get a character for the first time they are not removed from the drop pool after you hit max constellation so you could have "wasted" pity rolls on top of the already low rates.

    2. The Resin System: Need Mora to pay for upgrades? Resin. Need xp books to level characters? Resin. Want some good gear? Resin AND RNG.
    Resin is a Stamina system that allows you to spend a slowly refilling resource to get loot from various tasks in game: world bosses that drop character ascension materials, domains that drop talent materials/weapon ascension materials/artifacts, weekly bosses, ley line's that give xp books or Mora. Domains and ley lines cost 20, bosses cost 40 and weekly bosses cost 60. Resin refreshes at a rate of 1 per 8 minutes and caps at 120 giving you a maximum of 180/day without refreshing. That's 1 weekly boss and 3 open world bosses or roughly 20 minutes of gameplay a day. combine that with the 10 minutes for your daily missions and you only get 30 minutes of meaningful progression content a day without paying money for more game time. Its like an arcade except instead of a quarter its a dollar, and everytime you want to add more the machine charges you more, and after 6 refreshes the machine tells you to go home and that you can't play anymore. I don't think I have EVER encountered a PC game that actively tried to discourage you from playing it in the way that Genshin does.

    3. Chest respawn timers: when you first enter the world its full to bursting with loads of things to pick up, enemies to fight and chests to open, but after the first week or so when you've opened all or most of the default spawn locations the world starts to feel barren, you'll spend time running around aimlessly remembering the feeling of your first time through the world trying to get that enjoyment again, but its just not there with only a handful of chests re-spawning in random locations on a weekly timer there just stops being anything to do outside of instanced content - unless you want to spend hours running around other people's worlds hitting rocks....

    In short MiHoYo's greed, lack of meaningful open world content at higher levels, and gameplay time restrictions take what is otherwise an extremely enjoyable game and turn it into a frustrating mess.    … Expand

    The soundtrack, the artstyle, the gameplay elements are of a Triple A quality, an immersive initial experience within a great awe-inspiring open world that ends up falling on its face as soon as the ugly face of monetization shows itself and parasitize every single system the game has to offer.

    Most reviews have talked about the issues in this title, the resin system, the very low rates on the gacha rolls, the total absence of an end-game, the thin and gated gameplay loop, the paid battle pass, that requires more cash to be spent to finish it, all taint a game worth an 8 or a 9 into a below average end-result as demonstrated by the anger and frustration that leads people to rate-bomb the game.

    The game is a living and breathing identity crisis as it tries to take from every genre, and while it succeeds in some aspects, it always damages the good ideas with infuriating monetization schemes.
    It does not serve its coop mode, more of a clunky afterthought than a real feature.

    When the exploring is done, the world is a colossal empty piece of land with absolutely nothing to do in after the 10 minute daily quest is done.

    This game had the potential to be what World of Warcraft was to the MMO genre, taking an obscure niche genre and broadening its scope to become a Gaming Titan. Instead Mihoyo elected to forcefeed mobile monetization and predatory practices to a shocking degree, even for gachas and probably cuddled the market into accepting gambling addiction exploitation as a new norm for PC and console now that the mobile market is saturated with it.

    In the end, this game is probably worth a 4 or a 5, but it is reasonable to see those business practices as an unethical introduction for gamers to gambling addiction and incredibly overpriced systems. Mihoyo may have singlehandedly changed the face of gaming if the industry follows this trend.

    This title is like a dark prophet, announcing a wasteful era in gaming, where talented and creative artists, developpers and musicians are cannibalized by a greedy industry, unwilling to consider the craft of video-game making as the art is deserves to be.    … Expand

Your so called "resin wall" is just a way to make you feel you're doing something, while there isn't more content in the game. Would you all prefer "Come back in 2 months for more story?" type of game? I think not.

    I fell in love with this game from the get-go. I've played all the Legend of Zelda titles before, and even though I could call most of them great, Genshin Impact gave me an entirely diferent vibe. The local music, different in every region, the difference in the scenery... You can almost feel, like you're really in a different country.
    The story quests can easily occupy you for 40+ hours, but it will probably take you much more than that. The dynamic events, the puzzles all throughout the map, encounters with enemies - the so called "distractions" are adding to the dynamic of the map.

    The game presents you with few characters of varying elemental attacks: wind, fire, ice, water, which let's you finish the whole game (as of right now), but (and it's a big BUT) the game Free2Play system is one of the most fair I have ever seen.
    No, you can't buy experience with money.
    No, you can't buy story quests DLC with money.
    No, you can't "buy" certain characters or weapons with money.
    All you can do is try your luck in a Gacha (basically a slot machine). You can get good characters, mediocre characters - some better, some worse, but you can always make someone good, if you combo him with appropriate equipment.

    If you want to pay money to get a big advantage - you're in bad luck. It's a no no for buying "character pack" for 100$. You, as all the people, have some % chance of getting any character/weapon from one of three slots.
    Free2Play players can get Primogems (you roll Gacha with it) for doing: story quests, normal quests, daily quests, events, random encounters, opening chests.
    It's in no way a low amount. You'll find people complaining, that on the game release everyone got a ton of bonus Primogems and that now it will only go downhill - yes, it will, it will be quite harder. But the game doesn't require you to roll anything in order to complete literally everything. It's not a competitive game. You only play the game of "medium" vs "easy".

    Taking all of it into consideration:
    - Best free2play game ever, possibly better than Zelda Breath of The Wild
    - OST is just godly, the London and Shanghai orchestries did a perfect job
    - every character is different, you won't find 2 characters that do the same thing, just one better than the other
    - You can play the game on your PC and later play for an hour on your mobile phone wherever you are
    - Graphics are very nice and game is not hard to run on pretty much any hardware

    The base game itself is really great; the combat is fun, the controls is decent and there's some party and gearing strategy involved. The problem comes in when the monetization comes into play. The monetization of this game is    Amazing game for super casuals or whales (big spenders).
    If you're someone that is looking for a game to really get into, then this is not the game for you.
    The base game itself is really great; the combat is fun, the controls is decent and there's some party and gearing strategy involved.

    The problem comes in when the monetization comes into play. The monetization of this game is based on the energy + gacha system, that you often see on mobile games. You won't notice this in the early stages of the game (which is intended to lure you in), but the higher level you get to, the more exponential the issue becomes.

    The game will time lock you from progressing and put the things you need JUST out of your reach, tempting you to 'just spend to refresh your energy and you might get what you want' all the time. The energy system in Genshin Impact is one of the worst one I've seen from all the mobile gacha games I've played. You will run out of resources and in order to keep up with the 'difficulty curve' of the game, you are forced to only focus on a select few units and weapons. You cannot raise and use all the different characters and weapons at once.

    The Gacha itself is also fairly atrocious. While not 'the worst', it's down there with the rest. The rate to get a 5* is 0.6% and the rate to get a 4* is 10%. There's only a single safety net, where you 'guaranteed to get a single 5* within 90 rolls'. (This is 10 for 4*). Every other single rolls you make that aren't 4* and 5* are absolutely worthless. In the current state of the game, spending money on gacha might not be 'needed', but it definitely gives you an advantage and you'll definitely have a better time if you do spend money on the gacha.

    If it weren't for the (passive-)aggressive monetization system, the game would have been amazing. The voice acting comes in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese and they are really great. The graphics is pretty good. The combat is one of the better ones I've seen. Trying out different weapons and characters for party is fun. Some of the puzzles are interesting and some of the challenges are rewarding to complete. Finally the world is fun to explore for the first time.

    However all of the game's strength and positive points will come to a screeching halt once you hit that 'energy/gacha wall' and you're forced to just wait it out or spend money to play more.
    So this game is really nice for very casuals that plays at a very slow pace or whales that can spend money to keep on playing.    … Expand

    Welcome to Gacha Impact: Breath of the Resin.

    Honestly, this game isn't bad at first, I was really impressed by the amount of quality contents put into this game (story, graphics, soundtracks, characters..) However, all of them were ruined by the greedy and predatory business practices of this game. First of all, the gacha mechanic. It is absolutely horrible because of the fact that    Welcome to Gacha Impact: Breath of the Resin.

    Honestly, this game isn't bad at first, I was really impressed by the amount of quality contents put into this game (story, graphics, soundtracks, characters..) However, all of them were ruined by the greedy and predatory business practices of this game.

    First of all, the gacha mechanic. It is absolutely horrible because of the fact that spending 100 $ can't even get you a 5 stars character/weapon unless you are very very lucky. The percentage of pulling a 5 stars character in this game is 0.6 %, the absolute worst out of all the mobile games I have ever played for 5 years. If you somehow decide to play this game, please stay away from the gacha because all it does is destroying your wallet.

    Secondly, the resin/energy system. Once you hit Adventurer Level 35, all you'll do in this game everyday is spending 10 minutes beating the same boring dungeons/bosses and collect some materials, which aren't even enough to upgrade your characters. And if you want to play more, you have to spend money to buy more resin/energy because all they want is forcing you to cough up some money one way or another. What kind of game forces players to pay for their play time ? Is this some kind of arcade game now !?

    Finally, the rewards you get from playing this game. Unlike other F2P games that showers you with premium currencies and materials to get new characters or upgrade them (Fate/Grand Order, Arksknight, Azur Lane..) this game does the opposite by giving you not even the bare minimum. There's no daily log in rewards like other mobile games, events and achievements rewards are a joke because at most you'll get is 200 gems and you need 1600 gems to just do 10 rolls in the gacha. Open world exploration is not even worth doing because even after running around the large map opening chests, you get worthless gears, pathetic amount of 200 gold at most, and you need at least millions to upgrade just one character.

    All in all, I suggest everybody to stay away from this game because it is not worth playing at all. Please save your time and money on something more worthy, you can buy some good indie games and still have way more fun than playing this pathetic, greedy game that aims at nothing but destroying your wallet. And I still haven't talked about the lack of communication and tone deaf attitude from the developers.    … Expand

    - 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.

    A game that's a lot of fun until you, sooner rather than later, run into the inevitable gacha wall, where you're forced into paying a hefty sum of real money (unless you're willing to spend hundreds, possibly thousands, of hours on grinding, farming and waiting on cooldowns) just for the chance to win one of the characters or weapons you want.

    To add insult to injury, if you live in a European country, everything's a lot more expensive.
    6480 Genesis Crystals, which nets you a total of 40 character/weapon rolls (that will mostly or, more likely, completely, consist of trash), costs $99.99. In Europe, the same package costs €109.99.
    A euro is already worth more than a dollar, but the fact that they also bumped up the price results in the $99.99 package costing roughly $130 in Europe. It's equal parts ridiculous and unacceptable, considering the fact that you're not even guaranteed a useful drop if you actually spend this amount. To further put things into perspective: In order to get the currently featured five star character, you have to do a total of up to 180 rolls in the game. These rolls will cost you a whooping $444 if you live in the US, and if you're unlucky enough to be European, it will cost roughly €489, which translates to $578.
    Let that sink in. $578 for ONE character, and this character will be replaced by a different one in a few weeks, meaning you'll have to cough up another $578 for the new one, another $578 for the next one after that, and so on.

    If there was a non-gacha version of this game, where you could find characters and weapons through some sort of ordinary progression system, I'd gladly pay full price for it, but in its current form, Genshin Impact is just a cheap money-grab that in no way deserves the praise it's been receiving.
    Quite frankly, I find it disgusting how miHoYo and other gacha game developers profit by exploiting people's tendency for gambling addiction. I wish everyone would stop throwing money at them so we'd be rid of this plague of the gaming world.    … Expand

That reward is contains character levelling materials and weapon levelling materials to progress through the game. Now this is where the resin system becomes restricting. After AR30 you are basically finished with the main story of this game as of the current version of the game. The things you do to level up your characters and weapons are very limited because of the resin system. You can only do daily commissions to level up which does not cost resin, and thats around 10-15 minutes of gameplay. Dungeons (also around 10 minutes of gameplay) costs at least 20 resins and your resin storage is capped at 120. Moreover it takes 8 MINUTES to regenerate each resin which is ridiculous when 10 minutes is all it takes to spend 20 resins.

    Gacha rates are atrociously low compared to many other gacha games. 0.6% rate to get a 5 star weapon or character is ridiculously low.

    Controller support would be a fine addition since we won’t have to obstruct the screen with our fat hands. This will allows us to appreciate the astonishing visuals of this game even more. Moreover, it will be more comfortable for us to play with a controller for long hours. IOS 13 & 14 already added controller support for PS4 and Xbox controllers. Since, this game features multiplayer crossplay with PC and PS4 which both have native controller support built in for the game, it won’t be an unfair advantage for mobile players with controllers.    … Expand

    Short answer:

    It's a predatory microtransaction-riddled mess that lures people via the first few hours being decent. But it's actually a surprisingly shallow cashgrab for the gullible. It's genuinely not a good "game" and don't lt anyone tell you otherwise because it has fundamental core problems. Long Answer: The gameplay is one-dimensional and becomes stale shockingly fast.

    Long Answer:

    The gameplay is one-dimensional and becomes stale shockingly fast.

    It has no real identity of its own because it blatantly absorbs aspects from other games to try and have as much mass-appeal as possible to lure people in. A result of this is that it's all surface-level and most people realize this by the time they reach "Adventure Rank 30". Aka the ranking system from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon except turned into a slightly annoying grind instead of a tangible accomplishment.

    It's literally a Mobile game. Right down to the oversimplified braindead controls and some awkward camera issues on mouse/keyboard. The graphics are also an obvious holdback of this too but less important. However. HOWEVER. Being a mobile game also means something else...

    Lootboxes. The game is fully designed around lootboxes and trying to force the player to spend money. This is probably the single worst offender for this practice because it lures people in with the façade of a good game that doesn't really exist and then stonewalls progression if they get invested.

    It is genuinely not a good game. Anyone who has a gambling addiction or suspected vulnerability towards it... Never play this "game". Keep children away from it. Keep everyone you can away from it. It sets a very bad precedent for game development.    … Expand

    Right now, the systems in place right now make it impossible to play the game, seriously. Resin is a horrible system that limits the amount of content that you can do. This is similar to stamina systems in other gacha games, except taken to the extremes. If you log in and do your daily commissions + your resin activities you'd be lucky to get half an hour's worth of playtime. After that, you have to wait a whole 18 HOURS for your resin to reach full again. Its such a joke of a system. Any activities outside of resin based ones are mostly useless. ALL forms of progression are tied to resin. Character EXP, artifacts, talent levels, weapon/character ascension, EVERYTHING. Being F2P is a joke, and while it is a PVE game, you're still going to struggle doing some of the game's content specifically because the game WILL NOT let you play it. Resin needs changes before you even consider playing this game. Don't even get me started on the abysmal gacha rates this game has, you'll never get any characters you want as a F2P, not a chance.

Everything you want/need to do requires resin. Resin is their "Energy System" allowing for players to do content. EVERYTHING "meaningful" in this game requires resin. And even if you were to spend all your resin, you get like 20 minutes of game out of it a day. Trying to upgrade your characters is horrendous, there is no incentive on getting new chars because you can't even level them up. That's also gated behind resin, yes. As is gold. And character evolution mats. And weapon evolution mats. And talent upgrade mats. Even the WEEKLY bosses cost resin. Half of your daily maximum, mind you. The game forcefully limits the players to only playing around 20 minutes a day, doing "reasonable" progress, which pretty much diminishes to nothingness once you get to AR40. I do not recommend this game, in it's current state to anyone. In this worldwide pandemic we're currently in, they also put a gacha system in the game. New 5* characters cost approx. 400$ if you're really unlucky. That's a PS5. For one single unit. Did I mention that you need 7 copies of one character to max them out? So if you have really bad luck, you'd have to pay 2.8k $ to get one single 5* maxed. And then you gotta spend another truckload of cash to level them, get them gear and upgrade their talents.

    Genshin Impact is a beautiful game dragged down by its long-term content. Once you've cleared the (admittedly great) single-player content, there's very little to do. The energy system ("Resin") restricts productive play to roughly twenty minutes a day without spending, and the gacha rates are abysmally low (lower even than stingy FGO). Don't bother playing until these issues are fixed.

    5: Lack of communication from Development Team/Staff

    As of 10/22/2020, The developer conference post mentioned that Original Resin will be boosted from 120 to 160, and the required amount used for the weekly battlepass will be lowered. That’s all well and dandy, but I’d like to explain why this solution isn’t beneficial to the players or the game, and what could be done instead.

    At the current regeneration rate, we receive 1 resin per 8 minutes. Even if the amount of resin we receive increases to 160, we are still capable of regenerating nearly 180 resin every 24 hours. While the new rate of 160 is nice, as it allows us to complete our daily mission in our battle pass, it does not actually allow for more game time due to resin costs being very high and regeneration being so slow. (Regeneration is so slow in-fact, I can often go to sleep and wake up and still not have my resin completely replenished. Adding a higher cap will only exacerbate this issue.)

    Yes, I could refresh my resin with Fragile Resin but once I run out of fragile resin, refreshing takes primogems, which I barely have. I can rarely even make a single wish.

    I do not want to waste my primogems on energy.

    No one WANTS to waste their primogems on the energy system. And that’s where the problem lies. There is no REASONABLE incentive to spend the gems, therefore people won’t.

    It really is a shame because I enjoy playing this game so much and I would love to spend more time with it, but once I complete my daily commissions and burn my resin, I am left with nothing to do other than gather random materials.

    Because of the current limitations, I have been forced to explore every corner of Teyvat and I have found so many chests, seelies, and materials, that my world is almost ghostly. There is nothing left for me in my world. Unfortunately, this means I have nothing to do anymore. Since once my resin is used, I can’t farm character ascension materials of any kind.

    All meaningful rewards are trapped behind resin. Exp, Mora, Talent Books, Weapon materials, character materials, etc. I have hundreds of all of the materials that I could possibly gather that don’t require resin simply because I am -forced- to do this if I want to keep spending time with the game. This by design, punishes the player who has the time to play for long sessions.

    The Genshin community has repeatedly done the math and the amount of materials required to max even a single character is weeks of grinding materials. With a roster of 20+ characters and growing, it would take a year or two for me to see the roster all at the same level. Players can’t use the characters they paid you for simply because they do not have the resources available to them.

    PS. Kudos on Nook from official discord who is wrote this. I just copy pasted a part from his doc.    … Expand

    "The honeymoon period has ended, magic has faded, you have been caged."

    Anime styled ARPG, with similar aesthetic comparable to Legend of Zelda: The breath of the wild, with decent intriquin storyline and character development. The pacing is depends on player style first, core mechanics later. Progression on everything else, is hampered by monetization and RNG.

    The game has potential, that is squandered under everything ever so anti-consumer practices as possible.

    What are the anti-consumer practices?
    Gacha/Surprise mechanics - it has no place for PC nor Console, there's no ifs or buts, unless you honestly want another Star wars battlefront 2 - sure go for it.
    Stamina system - The whole "it is to limit your playtime" doesn't work on PC/Console gamers. That's a big no-no and should be abolished right away. Do not bring cancerous mobile mechanics to other platforms.
    Multi-platform - Why is it up in the first place if you're just catering one group only? And fail even to do that properly? It is meant for mobile games, but fails to run on most of the handheld devices due to heavy performance. A lack in foresight for sure, could be remedied.

    The mindless drones that rain praises have either stopped early enough, or have paid the price to be heard, they're just looking for justification for their spending, in a "free-to-play".

    This review might have been made out of pure spite, sure, but I honestly hoped for best. Not another scummy practice from gaming industries.

    So what does that left us? To make warning before it takes another step to wrong direction.
    Do not spend another dime until changes have been made.

    So what should be changed as free-to-play games tend to have something to make their income?

    First of all. Halt everything. Remove it from stores and build the core mechanics over. FFXIV did this since the base was a complete technical mess, this is a complete mess in another sense. Discord is literally on fire, outcries are made, but companies have no act fast function. Re-iterating the system is to have spine and will to change. Telling "but it's going to cost" is already coveted by the masses. Reset and start anew.

    Gacha mechanics has to go away. I won't even bother disclosing the odds. Making static pricing on units/gear - and for free-to-play side, grinding as always. Paying should be a way to skip the grind. Some might complaing P2W for sure, but this is a mostly single-player experience.

    Resin/stamina system - gripe of us all, it should be abolished at once for no-one. Gamers can't play since the system doesn't allow you to progress. It might be a fragment of a certain country imposing certain kind of mentality on it's citizens, but I digress. System that is based on limiting your progression as inhumanly as possible is just beyond me. It's the core component, that is rotten.

    Multi-platform incomprehension - The same old "but it's mobile game/gacha" isn't what the multi-platform is about. It is to exceed our expectations as trying something new, not to underwhelm us with everything bad. One would expect to have great experience. Not to have of scummy mobile market monetization schemes coming to PC and Consoles at full force. One can only wait for jurisdical intervention for mobile marketing, since it is and always has been predatory. It doesn't have to go that way, but does everything need to be forced down companies throat before they listen?

    Once you hit the wall you'll start thinking differently about the game. Even towards middle/end of current content drought and progress hampering starts to show its claws, more walls seem to close in as you notice not being able to do anything due arbitary walls on all activity, except flower picking. These walls are rock solid, unbending. Also informed that even with money you're stuck within the same walls that have been placed by the company.

    MiHoYo, this isn't going to work.

Apparently this is supposed to be normal by mobile standards but not here, PC frowns upon such practices hence doesn't matters how grand of a game it is it's wrong. Also the developers have a track record of not making better changes until their income is threatened by loss of playerbase in previous titles and this was just further proven by their response to the complaints about Genshin's system which shows that they did not read a single feedback post on their forums or surveys. So keeping all this in mind it's a 1 out of 10 for me, at least until it brings Very Significant changes to better it's systems, so please try it out without spending any money and move onto better games, Save yourself and your hard earned money, You as a consumer deserve Value for your Money, don't fall into their trap.… Expand

    The dreaded Resin has ruined the game for most, as far as I've seen, in a way that if it's not fixed soon Mihoyo may not be able to come back from.

    The game has immeasurable potential, to the point where i'd argue it could even contend for GOTY, but when the higher level gameplay, after the current main questline, is restricted to 2 to 6 activities daily taking no more than half an hour at most then the game is doomed to lose most of it's player base.

    After all, why play a game that you can't, well, play. Even whales will most likely see the lack of sense in dropping thousands of Dollars on characters and weapons they won't be able to enjoy using due to the extreme limitations stopping them from effectively leveling said characters and weapons up.

    Just the other day I rolled a new character, not one I really wanted a great deal but I'd still like to try them out, but since I got her she's been relegated to running the in game 20hour "expeditions" where the character becomes unavailable to use but comes back after that time with a small amount of resources.

    If this system didn't exist, or at the very least was reworked to be far less, or not at all, restricting then I'd happily give the game a 9/10, but right now I can't bring myself to give it a score higher than 3 because what use is a computer game you can't play as much as you want to?

    Imagine if Skyrim restricted you to 4 side missions and 2 main mission a day, and if you wanted to kill a boss during any of them it cost you one of your limited missions? There's no way it would be as successful as it was.

    Happy customers stick around, they're returning customers, but Mihoyo right now has a whole lot of very unhappy and frustrated customers on their hands and they're about to lose a lot of people that may have otherwise invested in their Battle Pass and Monthly "Welkin Moon" pseudo-subscription. Is that really worth the Resin system? I don't think so.    … Expand

If you play all day you should be able to hit AR 20 on first day. At that point you are still enjoying the game, new region opens up with way more verticaly and different look to it. So you go on exploring everything doing quests, using your resin (mobile energy system) that you noticed exists a while back. This will last maybe 2 more days if you play all weekend for example, at that point you will be close to AR 30. That is where ull notice that this big beautiful world starts to become less full. All the challenges you do, all chests you open they for the most part dont respawn at all. It's at that point when your further progress will be limited mostly by daily comissions which reset each day and resins. You cannot claim xp and rewards from bosses and dungeons this game has without resins. That's when you gonna play less than you used to and all these limitations will cause your score of this game to go down to around 5/10. There are still some quests and a bit of content at AR 32/34/36. Reaching that is gonna take you a week or 2 of just logging in for maybe 30-60 min per day doing comissions and using your resins. Then you maybe will want to search for some hidden chests or challenges you missed in the open world, but there will be fewer and fewer of them every day.. Once you hit 35 and eventually 40, this game is completely empty. It's going to be 20 min per day, then ull log off. Or you could pay real money for daily refreshes, which costs about $11-12 per day to do maximum allowed amount of refreshes. It makes you progress your AR ( adventure rank) about 3 times faster for a fee of $350 per mount if you were to do it every day. At that point all thats left of this game is predatory gambling for characters it takes on average hundreds of dollars to get the one you want and you need multiple copies to max their constelation making character stronger. Even if you decide to spend money on that and get lucky pulling shiny 5* star chances are you wont even have resources to level them up unless you spend even more money. AR 35-40 is when your score of this game would go down to 0/10, as you can't even play anymore. Theres no more content at that point other than predatory casino or waiting for resin and daily comission resets. This is a great single player game, it just lacks ending credits after you completed everything. As mmo in the long run, its just another mobile garbage that exists to make as much money as possible in as unethical way as possible. Oh and this online casino is rated PEGI 12 somehow.… Expand

    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

    IF YOU ARE F2P, just accept the fact that you will not get very far in this game and it will be incredibly frustrating/discouraging.

    IF YOU ARE intending to play this game with friends, it is worth mentioning that the co-op system is absolutely riddled with glitches and feels unfinished. You will not have a pleasant experience playing with friends. Treat this game as a singleplayer game. A lot of people have a misconception that this game is a MMORPG, however it is NOT one and will NEVER become one.

    My biggest complaint is that the company behind Genshin Impact (miHoYo) completely disregards their playerbase and feedback to the point where it is quite clear that they just DO NOT care. You should know that whatever suggestions/feedback you send to miHoYo or their staff will go unheard for the sake of continuing to milk their playerbase's wallet. The surveys in-game are purely Public Relations purposes and have no meaningful contribution to improving the game. There is no communication between the devs, PR team and the playerbase. The staff and devs do not listen to player feedback and makes it quite clear that they will not be fixing any of the issues any time soon. miHoYo uses predatory monetization tactics. They even go as far as scripting fake "leaks" to keep their playerbase on the edge with false hope. The only things that have been confirmed is information that was already in the closed beta testing. Everything afterwards is just empty promises with the intention of stalling their playerbase. miHoYo carefully manipulates their phrasing and wording to deceive players.

    - Primogems - Primogems are a form of in-game currency. At the start of the game, the world is filled with chests that reward the player with primogems as you open them. However, you come to realize that these chests DO NOT respawn. Your influx of primogems quickly runs DRY. The only way to obtain primogems is through purchase with real life money and/or doing your daily commissions (which only give you 60 primogems per day).

    - Gacha Rates - The gacha rates are abysmal. Definitely the worst gacha system by far. Your chances of getting a 5* star character is incredibly low (0.6% chance). You will have to spend about $200+ USD to get one. If this was not bad enough, there is little-to-no ways to obtain primogems by simply playing the game after Adventure Rank 35. (You need 160 primogems for a single pull)

    - Events - Do not even get me started on these events. These "events" are tedious with little rewards. These events are recycled from the closed beta testing (the developers have not even polish them since) with a glitchy co-op system. The rewards are not meaningful enough to get excited about.

    - Also, if you are planning to submit artwork to one of their events/contests, I suggest that you read the User Contributions part of their Terms of Service on the Genshin Impact website. Otherwise, you might find yourself at the short-end of the stick.

    - Stamina System AKA Resin System - This becomes a huge problem later on in the game. If you are looking for a long-term game that you can consistently play, then this is not the game for you. The game becomes nearly unplayable as most content become blocked by the Stamina System later on. This game is heavily geared towards casual mobile players who log in once a day to finish their daily tasks. As this game is being advertised as a multi-platform game, this is extremely disappointing. This game at its core is more reminiscent of a mobile game with a terrible and unrewarding gacha system.

    These are just a few of the many issues with Genshin Impact and miHoYo. I advise anyone who wants to try any game by miHoYo to play with caution.    … Expand

    Do not get me wrong, this game has a lot of potentials. Beautiful graphics, gorgeous music, interesting combat, great storyline. BUT, above all that, this game does require you to grind A LOT to keep up with the increasing difficulties.

    I am at Adventure Rank (AR) 42, which is basically the END GAME. Initially, the game was fun, exploring the unknown regions, doing quests, leveling characters, etc. BUT, after hitting AR 35+, the game feels empty. ANY progression you make needs a RESIN (which is similar to stamina in mobile games).    … Expand

    the game is really nice, it has its problems, but the company is working on them, and they have a good track record. i dont have that many positive things to add that others havent already said it before, just that the game is getting an unnecessary amount of hate from players, and that this situation will eventually be solved

    Bad end-game design, lack of content, ridiculous monetization. After reaching AR level 35+ (end game), you only play meaningful content for 10-20 minutes per day, other content is useless. Want to play more then 20 minutes? then pay $10, or wait for tomorrow

    Developer turning a blind eye towards their community. Pulling off amazing PR stunt. Resin cap increased from 120→160 what for? I never even cap at 120. Trash game, dont support, Mihoyo just coming up with a null solution to a big big problem like solving world hunger by giving everyone a bigger plate. Can you eat the plate? NO

    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.
