    The game has combined the best of other games. A good way to kill time. I wish more bosses like a wolf, really interesting. And dungeons in the cooperative.

    Esperava mais desse jogo, tem os gráficos bonitinhos, a jogabilidade é boa, porém fica um jogo meio incompleto, depois de um tempo enjoa, mas é um excelente jogo, quem sabe no futuro tenhamos montarias, pets... porque a única coisa que vc faz no jogo é upar arma e matar monstros... nada mais...

    Genshin Impact.
    Um jogo que renova o conceito de RPGMMOs em 2020.
    Um exelente jogo que superou todas espectativas de jogabilidade, de gráficos e cenário.
    Ja consegui chegar no nível 30 de aventureiro, e sinceramente o jogo e viciante para quem gosta de RPG.
    E para os Hater de plantão so lamento. mas o jogo e exelente e inovador.

    Genshin Impact is the first gacha game I have ever played, and I have to say, its way better than people let on. First of all, this game is completely free and you can beat the whole thing without spending a penny. Without spending any money, I have pulled 3 "5 Star" characters, 4 "5 Star" weapons, and a bunch of "4 Star" characters + weapons. The game design and art direction is amazingGenshin Impact is the first gacha game I have ever played, and I have to say, its way better than people let on. First of all, this game is completely free and you can beat the whole thing without spending a penny. Without spending any money, I have pulled 3 "5 Star" characters, 4 "5 Star" weapons, and a bunch of "4 Star" characters + weapons. The game design and art direction is amazing and I really like the Zelda feel I get from the grass, land, and enemies. This game runs smooth on pc, and the colors really pop out at ya, and I love it. Pairing with the great visuals, the music is relaxing and I don't mind listening to it frequently. The combat is really good with each character using a different weapon type and elemental power. Combining the elements causes different status effects, and you can literally pair anything. The goal is to use multiple elements and switch characters frequently. Lastly, the open world is large and full of things to do, making this an incredible achievement for a free to play game.

    I am going with 8/10 as the online multiplayer is limited and there is no shared loot. Only the main player can open chests. Also, you have an in game currency that is needed to complete dungeons or collect loot from certain world bosses. This is an extreme mobile game aspect that is not welcome at all. It is rumored that an update is coming to increase the cap of this currency, but as of right now its not good.

    Either way this is a fun game that I will continue to sink more hours (not money) into.    … Expand

    Check it out since it's f2p! Music and artwork is fantastic, which makes exploring the world an enjoyable experience. Battles are not so challenging, which is good for me since I'm not a hardcore player.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing the game since the third closed beta test has gave me quite some time to admire the flaws and the pros of this game and as such I finally feel like I could make a review.

    Please a few notes before I begin: The game is not a ripoff of anything, if you think the opposite then I’ll politely invite you to **** off to your hate forum. Secondly I will not be doing comparisons as Genshin is a masterpiece and there’s no point in comparing it to anything else. Also just a bit of spoilers ahead, like just a bit not too much.

    Genshin Impact, the newest game to be released by Mihoyo, the creators of a very well known game Honkai Impact 3rd. Many would think the games are related because same industry and because the word “impact” but Genshin stands as a game with a lore of its own. You start the game with a beautifully animated cutscene and a character selection, twins of different genders separated thanks to a goddess from the world they were visiting. After you choose to save one, the other one is captured and the one you chose falls down to the world.

    As the story progresses we will get used to our character being known as “Traveller”, and soon after learning combat mechanics you’ll meet Amber the Outrider, she will introduce to new mechanics and the city of Monstadt.

    I will comment on the equipment system which is quite nice actually, you have weapons with different effects and artifacts, there’s many artifact sets that will grant bonuses based on the amount of pieces you have equipped (Headgear, cup, feather, flower and watch). There’s also leveling up and ascension which raises the character level limit. You can level up character skills and when it comes to the traveller, you can even change your elemental Now going onto elements and how they handle them. There’s many elements (Pyro, Dendro, Electro, Hydro, Geo, Anemo and Cryo) and every element has an interaction wit certain elements. I will recommend learning most of them since they’ll make your fights easier than ever. I know many people comment on the gacha system and how “It is predatory” or how “It’s impossible to even use it without paying” and let me tell you that by my personal experience this is the most free to play friendly gacha experience I’ve had in my life, you’ll be rolling the gacha quite often as this game rewards you for being curious, clever, it rewards you for thinking instead of complaining. So yeah the gacha isn’t even needed since you can play without any gacha characters or weapons and have an effective build regardless.

    The gameplay is smooth and the fun you can get is pretty much unlimited, there’s always a new place to explore, a boss you want to defeat with this different setup, a build you want to try, a challenge you want to take.    … Expand

    After playing it for just about a week now since launch, there are some good and bad stuff I can say about the game.
    The world is big and beautiful, graphics is amazing (some can say it's similar to Zelda:BOTW) but the game perfected it in their own unique way. It's a fun game if you love to grind.

    Problem I've been seeing people have, especially my friends, is that you get stuck after AR24 when there's not many things you can do to level up. The game needs more content to be able to level up your adventure rank. Your best bet is your 4 daily mission but that's about it, you can't do much more besides that.
    It's a great F2P game but it has a lot of paid stuff inside the game which is expected so I don't blame them since it is a free game after-all. Many great character are locked behind a gacha system which can be earnt through F2P but VERY difficult unless you pay.
    The cutscenes are great! Definitely a plus from me when it comes to cutscenes but some voice acting can be very cringe, ESPECIALLY Paimon who is basically your companion through your entire journey so you will definitely need to get used to her.
    Co-op is fun to a certain extent. It does get really repetitive after a while since you're doing the exact same thing over and over again. I wish you could do spiral abyss as co-op since that'll definitely make the game more fun. They need to focus more on co-op contents as this is what makes the game unique to Zelda:BOTW. I hope to see more soon.
    My final thoughts is the game is great (not amazing), needs more contents to level up and more contents to do especially with co-op. I can see the game improving as time goes on but right now I think 8/10 is a fair score.    … Expand

    A beautiful anime-influenced adaptation of Nintendo's Breath of the Wild that is technically free to play. If you are a patient gamer, you may find a good amount of enjoyment out of this game.

    Ever since Nintendo pioneered BotW's free-roam action RPG, people have craved for more. Sadly, with BotW being a Nintendo exclusive, a void has been left unfilled for the longest time. However,    A beautiful anime-influenced adaptation of Nintendo's Breath of the Wild that is technically free to play. If you are a patient gamer, you may find a good amount of enjoyment out of this game.

    Ever since Nintendo pioneered BotW's free-roam action RPG, people have craved for more. Sadly, with BotW being a Nintendo exclusive, a void has been left unfilled for the longest time. However, today, miHoYo has delivered. If you've never played BotW before, this game is a decent way to experience it.

    The game has fluid 60 FPS gameplay, a clean interface, a rich story, multiple characters, and a world more lush and with less empty land than BotW's.

    Now you may be wondering: If Genshin is that good, why is it not a 10? The reason for that is simple. It is a blatant copy of BotW with added content and level barriers that limit the free roam aspect.

    Nothing disincentivizes adventuring more than opening up the map and seeing that you're not high enough level to go anywhere. miHoYo should've granted the player complete freedom, as it was one of the defining features that made BotW great. But now you're forced to follow the story and grind levels.

    Genshin Impact doesn't cost a penny, in theory. This alone warrants a good rating for the game. It comes with cross-platform co-op if you want to play with others as well. However, the typical mobile game inconveniences will eventually get to you.

    No "free to play" mobile game can be truly free after all since the company needs to make money in the end. This game is designed to have microtransactions since it is a mobile game at heart. If you can look beyond that, it's not a bad game to try.    … Expand

    (10 points only from the standard of Gacha Game. and 10 points to adjust the points from those unreasonable haters.) There is a complete single-player gameplay experience for a F2P player. There is enough open-world content, extraordinary music, light, not fancy but interesting enough elementary battle system. The story is just OK.

There is a complete single-player gameplay experience for a F2P player. There is enough open-world content, extraordinary music, light, not fancy but interesting enough elementary battle system. The story is just OK. The quality of the game is actually increasing as you move from the first main city to the second one. So if you feel a bit tired after the first one or two days, I would recommend you to keep playing for a while.

    About the gacha system:
    In the single-player gameplay, you won't encounter any pay-wall where you have to pay to overcome the difficulty. And if you are not interested in online content you can simply leave the game until the next main story update. But of course, having more characters will create more variety in your combo and bring more fun. However, the drop rate is relatively low so I would recommend either you stay F2P (monthly card), or invest at least 150$ and use them in the correct banner.

    This game in general is ground-breaking in the area of gacha games. It annoies both the cellphone game producer as well as cellphone platforms in China (because Mihoyo refuses to accept their crazy 50% profit sharing rule). This is the reason why there were and will be a crazy amount of hater leaving 0 points. I really feel bad about it.    … Expand

    doesn't feel p2w, needs at least higher rendering distance, problem is stamina(sprinting, swimming, climbing, gliding and same for all characters, you need to pick collectibles in order to increase total amount of stamina instead of getting some by leveling up a character, which i'd prefer for ease of movement without teleporting all the time), gliding is quite slow

    First off, the good stuff. Visuals and Music were both very nice and polished, and the cooking system was decent as well. The way different elemental attacks interact was also interesting.

The way different elemental attacks interact was also interesting.

    Now to the not so great stuff. Having Gacha mechanics in a (mainly) single player open world RPG is an embarrassment to the genre. Imagine playing Skyrim and instead of getting a cool Daedric weapon from finishing a special questline, you could only get that weapon by getting lucky and spending IRL money. It's dumb to have in a game like this at all, regardless of how necessary it is to progress or not.

    Speaking of progression, while working through the main story, I got to a part where I could not continue until I hit a certain "Adventure" level. Again, this is something that should not even be in an open world RPG. You should be free to explore and take on whatever quests whenever you want, not be roadblocked because you haven't hit some arbitrary level. This is actually what made me uninstall the game in the end.

    While the combat was interesting with its use of different elements and their interactions with each other, I did not enjoy how each character you unlock can only use one type of weapon. It felt tedious to have to level and equip each character individually just because you want to be able to switch weapons and not get bodied by enemies.

    The story wasn't anything special/compelling, but it could get better later on so I won't judge it too harshly here. You also get stuck with an annoying guide NPC that follows you around and talks in the third person.

    Overall, I would say this is a middle of the pack PC game, but a top tier mobile game (depending on how well it runs on phones). It is super polished and has plenty of potential, but does not hit the mark for me. The point of open world games should be to freely explore the world you are in, and the roadblocks presented within this game, with level requirements and relying on Gacha mechanics to get the best gear/characters, keep it from reaching that level of freedom seen in other games within the genre.

    6/10 I'm convinced the only reason this game is getting so much hype is because it is free and has cute anime girls in it.    … Expand

    Genshin es contendiente a juego del año, tal vez su problema es ser tan bueno que mucha gente acostumbrada a su nicho (consola,PC, móviles) no reconozca la calidad y belleza de un juego tan completo, tan valiente y hecho con amor y un perfecto entendimiento del negocio de los videojuegos.

    If the microtransactions would be purely cosmetics, this would be easily a high 9 out 10 game. Because the gameplay-loop is inredibly addictive, the combat is fast and satisfying, yet has a huge level of tactical depth. The story and worldbuilding in interesting, the characters are charming and likeable. The exploreable world is huge and dense, there's always something to do, while the exploration is really rewarding. The leveling and loot system is layered and deep as well. There are tons of different activities (main and side missions, spiral abyss, domains, random missions, daily challenges etc.).

    Basically everything is present in this game to become one of the best games of the year. It would even have the potential to become a 10 out 10 title once the technical problems (such as the weird controls) are ironed out. It's basically a combination of Monster Hunter: World (in terms of social and leveling aspects) and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (in everything else), but more fun than those titles in many ways (or at least way more fun than MHW to me).

    But... the monetization system is extremely intrusive. Low quality mobile games have low quality and intrusive monetization systems, I get that. But what I want is this game to be treated accordingly to its quality, which means that its monetization system should be just as high quality, user-friendly and rewarding as the game itself. Otherwise, the game's gacha system will eventually undermine the game's value and artistic merits.

    This should stay as a free-to-play title probably, so there would be a constant influx of players and money so the developers could add in more content for years to come. But the free-to-play model should be changed from gacha-style to cosmetics-based. Cosmetics do not provide any gameplay advantage and do not lock out players from actually meaningful in-game content, but the gacha-system does.

    Other things should also be improved, like social aspects (co-op options), the leveling should not be that slow after level 30, and the Battle Pass should be made better as well in order to justify its $10 price tag. All in all, I'd give this game an 8 out of 10 for now.    … Expand

This game screams triple A with its huge open world, many different dungeons, and lots of exploration. I have yet to find any game breaking bugs but my biggest concern is the eventual difficulty spike at endgame without the top tier characters in the Gacha Shop. With a less than 1% chance to get a 5 star character your chances of obtaining one is likely null on top of having to feed duplicates to them to unlock special character traits that really bring out their full potential. Other than the horrendous rates in the gacha, the game is as polished as could be for a free game. If you don't spend you'll still be getting a great game that cost you nothing but your time. I give the game a score of 10 for how polished the game is. For the gacha system itself I would give it a 3/10 for its less than 1% and 5% rates for 5 and 4 stars respectively. The 4 star rates need to be increased to at least 10% and the 5 stars to at least 3% for me to even give the gacha system higher than a 5.… Expand

    -Navigating it is too slow due to limited stamina, aside from giving more stamina I think there should be 2 stamina bars, one for climbing and one for running at least
    -Somewhat clunky and not too smooth gliding mechanic

    -Lack of good multiplayer
    -You need to drop a couple of days into playing the game before you even unlock any multiplayer
    -Basically forget playing with friends in any real capacity outside of **** around for no reason given many many limitation put on multiplayer (you can only join worlds of others that are X level, you dont share many types of loot you can find around the hosts world at all, you cant go through the story together with someone and so on...)

    -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

    The story in the game is not ground breaking, but still fun and charming enough to know what is going on in-game world, keeps you pushing forward and progressing. This game is beautiful from huge vista to the flora and animals that inhabit the world, guaranteed to lose yourself exploring for hours. As you play for a few hours, you soon find out the bread and butter of the game is having your "Dream team or Squad". What I mean by this is that you pick 4 characters in a party, but each is different character that has different specialties in elements, such as wind, water, earth, fire, cryo and electro. With these elements on different characters you can mix, match and compliment each other, which the battles extremely fun to watch. For example, you can (cryo) freeze an enemy with one character than switch to next character that hits with earth DMG on the same enemy, exposing the ememy with cryo and earth DMG at the same time. That's only one many combs you can do. Also don't forget about different weapons and artifacts with set bonus which can upgrade, refine, or craft to maximize DMG or Heals in encounters. You can also craft potions and cook food buffs,
    The only down side of this game, which does effect much of the game is the Microtransactions AKA "Gacha system" where you pop " wish" aka loot boxes to get chance to obtain a rare items and characters But characters, gear and upgrade materials/items can be obtain also via in game or during story anyways so really you don't need to pay to progress which great. Which brings me to why one of many reasons this game is so great, its FREE to play! you get so much game content for FREE. As a current Gamer, MMO and RPG enthuse it ticks all my boxes, I can't put it down since launch. All in all i'm really enjoying the game and I hope this is helpful to people who want to try it out, Which I highly recommend.    … Expand

    The game has high-quality game graphics, excellent plot missions (both overt & covert) and unique elemental combat system. Of course it still has many unsatisfactory places: types of monsters are too few, monsters' AI is too low, modeling of items in some areas is too rough and so on.

    If you only allow the players to continue the main story mission after reaching a certain level, why making it so hard to level up? What if I just want to listen to the story and get out of the game? Are we not allowed to do that? If I ask you why the graphics of this games sucks, you say its because it will be mobile as well. If I ask you then why mobile is locked to 720p 30fps, you say oh because its a PC game. If I then ask why you have gacha in a PC game, oh because it is also a online game. If it is an online game then why is the player interaction so weak? Oh because it's a freaking PC game again...

    If your intention is keeping the players in the game even after the main story, as evidenced by the gacha mechanism, what do you want them to do eh? If your plan is to release part of the story bit by bit, when is the end?

    This one point is granted only because the data of your game is shared between mobile and PC, the only thing I like about this game, and that's the end of it.    … Expand

    I'm having lots of fun on the game and I already have a few cool characters. Maybe it will get harder to get characters later on, but the early game is very much fun so far.

    so it's either 0 or 10 no honesty in reviewing, games with these qualities are being sold at 60usd its a free game, i was amazed by the quality of the quests, 70% of the quests are voiced at any language you like, the open world is vast and looks stunning, one of the best out there

    Very good free to play game. Awesome graphics. Story. Game play. A lot of content to explore. I hope more is on its way. I hope they keep the f2p nature the same way it is right now.

    So far I am enjoying this game. I love the story line. You get to change characters which is awesome. We get an option to change voice language (amazing) and text language. So you can separate two languages. Character design is cute. it's a great game, great graphics, gameplay, story all of it. Even with the lowest graphics it's still pretty decent compared with other games.

    It's terrible that a pay to win game like this comes along and tries to ride the legendary wave that is BotW. Shameless appropriation and not well done at that. Game is unable to sustain the level of fun for very long, even at early stages, because it is rather bland. You're better off playing BotW again.

    The rates for getting new characters are maliciously low. The riculous number of different currencies in the game are designed to gatekeep you from getting any meaningful unlockables easily. Same old song from Mihoyo, new game.

    Instead of judging the game for having a mobile version, think that you can play this game wherever you want, pc, console, phone. And it's a great game so far! :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Surprisingly fun and well built for a game that looks like a Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (BotW) Clone. It definitely copies a lot of the style and mechanics and ideas of Breath of the Wild, but the gameplay and feel of the world is very different. especially when it comes to stats. The weapon system for one is actaully surprisngly similar to Destiny 2 (though I'm only a light Destiny 2 user).

    I'm only a few hours into Genshin Impact game but so far I find it more engaging than BotW, and I think this is because although BotW was more intricately made with more attention to immersion and the beauty of it, this makes it quite slow at times, and the world is very plain in my opinion and you can travel for hours with little to do. and it doesnt help that the storyline is very simple and (though I havent fninished it I am many hours in) a lot of it is stuff that already happens in the pas, but the present is the same, unevolving situation and list of tasks to do with a few fetch/kill quests from npcs.

    The graphics are pretty much on par with BotW, there is essentially no difference - some areas are niceer some are worse.

    The world of Genshin has a lot of stuff going on [SPOILERS OF FIRST 10 MIN GAMEPLAY] such as people from other planets, abundant elemental magic, dragons, gods, knights, power hungry factions. It makes for a very dynamic and lively feeling world and I am actually excited to see where it goes. It is one of the few games that has made my curiosiy overcome my self control and make me wan to play much longer than I planned to because its actually interesting and makes you want to level up and explore the world and go on with the story.

    The combat feels fun, which is difficult to pull off, but switching between characters (which is sometthing you can do pretty soon from the start) and their unique weapon types and abilities is actually prety fun. And trying to find good weapons and buff items and upgrade them adds a level of detail which is actaully really cool to play around wih, geting your favourite play style and more power. I actually enjoy combat in this game along with the weapon and buff system, none of which are easy o do at all, and in most other games I really dislike how nay of these are done, so I'm amazed to see it done so well here.

    Genshin is a much more alive world than BoW, where npc interaction is much more rich and complex and entwrtwined with storyline rather than simple fetch/kill quests. What's also interesting is how levels are designed - during quests you are often lead to large dungeon-type areas which dont appear on the world map - this actually reminded me a lot of Destiny 2 level design and the versatility was quite interesting and exciting, since you're discovering new things instead of exploring the same areas on the map.

    Unfortunately is basically devoid of online multiplayer until you reach adventure level 16, which I havent done yet but I am curious how that will be.

    Also, it is annoying how much content is lifted from BotW. There are just a lot of things you see pop up tha clone it almost exactly, like [SPOILERS FIRST 10 MINS GAMEPLAY] basically bokoblins exactly as hey arer implemented in BotW but they just look differen (they arer by far the most common enemy, there are camps of them often, you can unlock chests by defeaing them...) and you ge gliders and climbing and you drown if you run out oif stamina while swimming... That said, while way too much copies game mechanics from BotW, how the game actaully plays out feels very very different. It is much more action packed and plot driven and the combat is much more complex (but thank goodness wepons dont take damage like they do in BotW forcing you to always hunt out new ones or be stuck with clubs).

    There are also a few bugs at the moment like npc mouths stop moving while halfway through talking and dialogue accidentally being repeated in the wrong place. Also you can change the controls layout for key board or controllers even though apparantly some dialogue says you can change those settings. It also isn't erribly well optimised. I am running an intel 4770 RTX 2070 12GB RAM running a 1080p and in places my FPS dips into the 40s - even Horizon zero dawn almost never does that.

    Some design choices are also odd like, even on PC the FPS is limited to 60, theer are almost no HUD options (so you can hide useless stuff that takes up space on the screen), you cant fullscreen on other resolutions than 1080p (on a 1080p screen or below),

    Also this is more preference but to me the voice acting and the choice of words is often really cheesy.

    That said, it is genuinely one of the few games that has me actaully _excited_ to play more of it to see what happens. Especially because it's a free to play, I can highly recommend you try it. Although if your a PC user the download is very long right now because of high demand and bad servers. Its only 12 GB download, but downloads as 0.5    … Expand

    It definitely draws from BotWs bag, but it's fairly genuine in it's attempt at imitation. The game is fun and runs great. It has excellent voice work, and the characters are a lot of fun. I have not yet made it to the multiplayer, but so far the enemies are varied and the attack combinations with the elements server for an interesting mix of character swapping into active battles.

    Extremely high quality with extremely fun combat and pretty graphics. The Gacha elements can be completely bypassed using the characters given by the story which are quite good. If you loved Breath of the Wild you'll love this.

    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.
