    It’s straight up decent to be real. Most people just rate it horrible because there are some features that are ripped from other games and awful community exists. If you actually play it, you can kinda enjoy it.

    It's really amazing and fun at the beginning of the game. However, as it proceeds it becomes more boring and draining, especially after AR 50. More further, we can easily say that there is almost nothing to do after AR 55.

    It is a good pastime. I like to do my dailies commissions and farm some artifacts while hearing an podcast since the game doesn't really need the full awareness of the player but I really only play because of the rewards (primogens), it isn't funny at all to farm the same set for de 908th or to do the same stupid commission to protect a Ballon for the 67th time.

    The story of the game is just a miss or hit, some are good, others are not. One thing annoying is the amount of unnecessary dialogues this game has that doesn't add anything to the stories or the event and it is just an annoying thing between you and 60 free primogens that 80% of the time is just worth it 1/3 of a wish that you get a literally useless 3* weapon.

    Many people complain about the gatcha system and I agree it sucks sometimes. I had my bad moments but also has lucky moments. I like this system simply because I am 100% F2P and honestly I have all characters that I need to beat any challenge in this game and if I managed to get this without paying 1 cent, at least for me, this system worked just fine so I don't have any reason to complain. I think people have to know, they can't have all characters in the game. They need 2 top-tier DPS and pull for good supports only.

    The combat system is cool, many people say they don't like the Spiral Abyss, I like it. I pretty much always get 36* on every abyss reset, not because 50 primogens are a great reward (they are trash) but because I like the challenge that only floor 12 (and sometimes floor 11) bring to the game. I always wanted more content like Spiral Abyss or new floors but Mihoyo never brought it. It is a shame, so I can only play Spiral Abyss every 2 weeks.

    The exploration of this game is one of my favorite parts. I like to solve puzzles and explore the world and the maps of this game is really beautiful. It is a shame that the content ends so fast.

    The graphics of this game are ok, the models of the characters are kinda bad, they lack models of musculus type of characters. Actually, they pretty much only have 3 models of characters, child characters, teen characters and adult characters. All are slim.    … Expand

    The actual cost of the game varies from “free” to “outright extortative”, and anyone with impulse control problems should never, ever, ever play this game, as it will try to fleece you for all that you’re worth.

    The game’s core mechanics drive you towards grinding, but the result is that the amount of “fun” gameplay you get will ever dwindle over time.

    All in all, as much fun as I had with this game starting out, I can’t recommend it. It’s a game that tries to eat your life, and it is unfinished to boot.

    Maybe when the plot is finished, you could just pick it up and play it as a free open-world game. But you’d have to be able to ignore the myriad ways in which the game is trying to get you to open your wallet and devour your time.

    All in all, this is a game to be avoided, not because of its low quality, but because of its incomplete nature and attempt at eating your life and wallet.    … Expand

You might be thinking "HEY! isn't being inspired by a Zelda game a good thing?" Well, yes and no. in the right circumstance of creating something new and great yes but this isn't it. It's a copy of a popular game to sell gacha, nothing more. Environments and mechanics were lifted straight out of BotW to sell this generic, low-key slot machine featuring poorly animated females.

    good:
    * Looks nice but that's a given since it's a clone of a good looking game
    * Element reactions are fun
    * Exploring has it's moments

    Bad:

    * lack of main story content

    * often, poor subtitles don't match what the characters are saying

    * cringe dialogue that is neither engaging or smart, really just grown people acting and sounding like children

    * MC is thousands of years old, was a powerhouse (loses his powers ala Samus) and yet acts and looks like a teenager without the street savviness you'd expect from someone that is thousands of years old

    * Everything is a grind-fest. Weapon? Grind materials, mora (in-game gold) and experience items. characters? skills? level up? food items? weapon refining? EVERYTHING is a soul-sucking grind-fest
    of multiple materials locked behind chambers only open certain IRL days of the week and costs insane amounts of mora so you'll constantly be grinding with minor returns. or you could grease the gears a little bit (or a lot) with some cold hard cash *nudge*nudge*.

    * co-op is a mess, want to play with just one friend? TOO BAD! we are sticking you with random people whether or not you like it! We'll also randomly drop people in mid-match for cannon fodder.

    * Low summon (aka gambling) rates. Ironically, the rates are so bad to get some animated boobs most weebs would probably have better luck IRL.

    * can someone explain why I need flowers to ascend a character to a new level? Do they eat the damn flowers?! None of this crap makes any sense. They didn't even try. You don't have 1000 masks of the many slain Hilichurls (which they have lowered rates on after all pre-mature ejaculation from weebs)? Too bad, now you can't be stronger.

    * The main point of the game (unfortunately) and the worst: boobs look like jello unmitigated by gravity so just standing still they are flying all over the place S E P A R A T E L Y. Again, cringe community proud of their pathetic cringe so don't bother trying to discuss this with anyone who identifies as Otaku or weeb. Imagine if they incorporated these unrealistic physics on a guys crotch. You'll have their two balls flying around just standing still. Hilarious...until the weeb community gets involved and does their cringe crap.

    * Otaku community. If you aren't one of them, you'll have a bad time interacting with the community. Every other sentence is blatant predatory and cringe. You'll never meet a group of more pathetic people proud of being sexual predators. What's worse, majority of characters are at least modeled after to be/act/look like teenagers or children to up the creep meter.

    * game gets a free pass to be **** because it's f2p and the target demographic (pathetic teens with no money and pathetic man-babies with no friends) eat this anime loli **** up.

    * main story quests are locked behind Adventure Rank (levels). there are only two main story arcs. the second one is an annoying long fetch quest. go here get this, bring this there, ad nauseam. The rest is just terrible filler junk that will have you roaming around looking for materials and treasure chests until you've lost your grip on reality and fun.

    * every sidequests is some pathetic sob story: "my daddy's gone I miss him...can you deliver this one flower to him thousands of miles away for 200 mora?"

    * Paimon

    * Limited interaction with the random people you find in the world. Just some basic dialogue usually.

    * Other thoughts: I wish there was more enemies vs enemies situations. It pretty much seems the entire world is out to get you. There are times you will fight treasure hoarders, Fatui and whopper flower all at once. Somehow, there is a secret pact that if they see you in the world they will team up to **** your **** up. Also, NPC friendlies don't react to their environment and are unaffected by enemies around them.

    all in all: it's everything you'd expect from a gacha, crappy rates, poor storytelling, all in a attempt to sell you some animated boobs. This game is the definition of the ongoing battle between the West vs East of gaming. This type of gaming is popular in Asian countries where "fun" is often times synonymous with "grind-fest" and misinterpreted as "rewarding". There's enough articles out there that go into depth about the split of the gaming community but you'll quickly see the fans of this title will be, by and large, Asian. Youtubers don't count as they are just following the money and are often paid advertisements promoting the **** out of this terrible game.    … Expand

    The resin system is bad. Western-style monetization models have proven to be better, it needs to go. All it does is hold back what could otherwise be a good game.

    The game is also incredibly easy outside of the abyss, almost to the point where you wonder why you're even playing.

    Genshin Impact is nice for a free-to-play cross-platform RPG; the singleplayer and the story is enough to warrant a separate game, but it's all included free of charge, and executed wonderfully with its pretty anime-style graphics, cute voice acting and overall praiseworthy design.

    Unfortunately, a significant portion of the game's progression system is locked behind a paywall that is not only unreasonably expensive, but also purely lootboxes. There are no direct purchase microtransactions in this game whatsoever. Now, I can forgive lootboxes that contain nothing but aesthetics, but weapons, characters and a section of character upgrades can only be attained by spending real money. While Mihoyo is generous enough to give rewards in the form of currencies so that you can access lootboxes by simply grinding the game, it is however a slow grind, and I believe it is practically impossible to max out any of your characters by relying on the freebies.

    Additionally, there are only a very limited amount of weapons and weapon types available in-game, and surprise surprise they are all locked behind lootboxes. Moreover, the simplistic skill system and lack of more enemy types make the combat minimalistic, if not shallow for what you would call an RPG game, even if it's on mobile.

    Don't get me started on a resource system that limits your ability to obtain rewards by consuming "resins", which are units that refreshes over time. Of course, you can spend real money to expedite the attainment of this resource.

    The game also sports a poorly executed multiplayer mode. Genshin Impact's coop system lacks content, activities and it does nothing to encourage you to play multiplayer. It's a nice addition, but it is an afterthought.

    Genshin Impact has great potential, however it is ruined by greedy business tactics and lack of ambition. You want to play Genshin impact? Have fun, but don't get too attached.    … Expand

    Another bad point is the limited respawn of monsters and bosses, you need an increasing number of itens to upgrade your characters and weapons, the resource is limited to a daily respawn of monsters and to gated chests from bosses where you have to spend resin a type of resource that you slowly generate through the day, you can buy Resin with your limited gacha currency or real money.
    So after you open all the chests in the world and do the main story of the game you will be in a spot where you have 4 daily quests, some random events that can appear or not, some chests that may or may not respawn (like 10 or so in the vast world), monsters that you kill and they take 24h/daily reset to respawn, or bosses/dungeons where you need to either spend Resin to get their loot or real money.
    In a F2P perspective the game is not that bad as long you want to play as a specific character from gacha, those will cost you almost all the resources you can earn in your first week of playing if not more.
    0.6% for a 5 stars where a 10 rolls on gacha cost around $19 USD has a guaranteed chance for a 4 star, but that 4 star can be a weapon and not a character.
    Dozens of streamers have spend more than 1.000, sometimes close to 3.000 to get a single copy of the character they wanted.
    In general the game is amazing, has an open world just like the way a good open world game should have, the combat is fun and well done, some quests are really well done and you can expect the game to become even better in future with more characters, new places to visit and dungeons, but like i said before its very limited for F2P.    … Expand

    Decent, but uninspired all around. Gameplay and graphics are held back by being cross platform. fun but lacking in depth, difficulty or design to keep it that way for long.

    -The world is beautiful at first glance, but after a few days of playing, nearly every location (so far) has more or less the same atmosphere. It gets old no matter how much i like it.
    -Character designs are quite nice, amber is a favorite, and they are animated fairly well
    -Characters have a little more customization than some similar titles, though even with the entire gatcha roster their are fairly few at launch
    -Enemy variety is a bit lacking, their are a few variations of each enemy, but that aside their are only a few enemy types, and fewer still that are significantly different in combat
    -Combat on the whole has some interesting features like elemental reactions, but some enemies can feel like damage sponges even when you out level them. The AI is fairly basic and and easily exploited if you are willing.
    -Map is compact but fairly large and filled with lots of stuff to do. It's very fun and reasonably fast to navigate which almost makes the plentiful teleportation points a pity.
    -The characters themselves are passible, their are no grand backstories or anything, and only a couple are really memorable for me. That said every NPC is unique and has at least some dialog.
    -The story is nothing special, at least for now, not any huge glaring faults but, not very inspired.
    -Climbing is quite fun, though it could be faster. I only dungeons used the mechanic in a unique way, rather than practically disabling it.
    -Dungeons are fairly dull affairs, with no puzzles and only very occasional platforming to break up combat slogs.
    -loot and rewards are plentiful, but even higher tier chests can be duds and actually exciting finds are quite uncommon after a short time.
    -Graphicly it's nicely stylized and smooth aside from a couple of bugs, but ultimately feels like it is being held back by the cross platform nature.
    -Too many menus and currencies
    -linear stat increases punctuated with infrequent skill unlocks makes leveling up more boring and less exciting that it should be, though exp items are given with such frequency that combat EXP is practically ignorable, and I often level up 5+ times at once on multiple characters at a time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genshin Impact starts out unbelievably entertaining and exciting. It's so easy to get hooked and spend hours playing. You get to meet delightful and endearing characters that you would want to be able to play with and level up. It's seemed a little too easy to ascend them all at first. You could easily believe that the game will be consistent in impressing you.

    You don't really mind investing resources, thinking the game will be generous to let you grind out upgrade materials because it's a no-brainer, people not only want to pull a character just so they could collect them.

    Early on, it’s easy to think like it's a great idea to pull as many characters as you can only to hit a certain Adventure Rank level to realize that you shouldn't have invested in all the characters you got from pulls. Why? Their stamina system, namely Resin, is a heavy time-gate. How much resin you can get is how fast you'll advance. Resin will force you to prioritize building characters that you will need to advance further. What I don't understand is that Resin can indirectly discourage players from spending on pulls, because more characters, more items, that need to be upgraded to become relevant in your current World Level.

    Resin takes a whopping 16 hours to fully regenerate to the max capacity, but it just takes 2 weekly bosses to spend it all, or 3 Elite Bosses, or 6 domain runs. Resin is so heavy on time-gating players that it takes too long to regenerate, collecting rewards cost too much resin and there are too many Resin sinks. It does not scale in any way with your Adventure Rank. Meanwhile, the resin costs scale up, because higher AR means more access to resin sinks. The materials required to ascend and to level up not only scale up, but it also skyrockets!

    After you happily blaze through all the quests currently available, what’s left are daily commissions and a few world quests with rewards that do not scale up. Doing meaningful activities that push your progress forward becomes mind-numbingly slow.

    What do players do without resin? Some are smart and start planing out and getting materials that do not require Resin to collect and open chests that they find along the way. But the more frequently you explore, the emptier and baren the world becomes.

    Genshin Impact is just a recently released game so I am hopeful that it will improve to keep the player base invested. While I am truly infuriated by Resin, I am still excited to see how miHoYo will expand the world that is Teyvat.    … Expand

    Good gameplay but I can't even grind it that much. It gets boring. I grind for the sake of grinding and not to progress the story. Not a game for me.

    The story is really good, but why tf the developers are releasing a game with only 20% of the story done? This game has 7 nations but we can only access 2 of them right now, and they are planning to release the others nation in several years, like wtf are you sure the players are still playing and not bored?
    The gacha system is even worse, they said this is an rpg game, but you can only get characters from gacha and the rate are very low for some good characters. If you want to upgrade your characters, you also need to get another same character through the gacha system again.
    Resin system is even worse, you get only little resin daily and can't really do anything daily. I played for only 15 minutes daily because of the limited resin system.
    This game surely has potential and I hope the developers could really update the game and make better system.    … Expand

I remember some time last year, people were outraged about the "rewards" they received after some events and quests; and they have good reason to be. How do you expect people to enjoy the game, when they're not being rewarded fairly and properly? If you actually did want to spend a little money to make the game progression easier, then you would have to go through the game's crappy wish system, where the RNG is either amazing, or more unfair than a casino. Other than that, there is still one major issue I have with the game. It's the lack of actual content. When people who play the game regularly run of content to play, and ask miHoYo to add more things to do, they interpret that as rereleasing the same stuff almost every single time. Sure, it technically adds something to do, but that's not what people want. This also poses a problem for the people who just started playing and are overwhelmed by the amount of content they have to go through. This makes the game feel like a chore more than an enjoyable past time. The art style and a lot of the character designs are pretty good, and so is the combat. I think Genshin Impact has a lot of potential, but the developers not listening to the problems of the players makes it hard to improve the game.… Expand

These two types of games contradict each other:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was like, almost on depression because of a goddamn video game girl, I litterally went secretly buy a 100$ google play card

    This game was my drug
    And it is
    If you look at it two seconds, most of its character are girls
    It's a damn manipulative game, it's crualty it shouldn't exist

    Yes, the content is good, well I always hated that game anyways, I hate the gameplay even if it's an unpopular opinion, and I hate that it looks like every part of the stories are big characters promotion

    This game could have do way better, but well it's a Gacha, and after having realized how down bad I was, I finally realize all of that

    Don't worry for me, I have a girlfriend now and I found back my independence, and I'm not spending on gacha anymore

    Just, don't play this game if you're young, or don't let your teens play it

    Never. Let. Them. Play it.
    Do it for me please, I don't want to see anyone else doing the same mistakes than I did, ever again

    If Fortnite is a money and addictive trap for kids, Genshin Impact is the Fortnite for teenagers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    - PAIMON IS SO ANNOYING!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Сама бездна может и дает неплохие (нет) награды, но чтобы пройти 5+ этаж нужно прокачивать неинтересных мне персонажей и тратить последнюю волюту, которой мало и фармить ее нет возможности.
    Весь патч 1.0 я сидел и верил, что разработчики смогут исправить минусы игры, хотя бы немного, но по анонсу 1.1, видно, что им наплевать, и она добавляют ивент, который просит 40 смолы.
    В игру можно было добавить по миру случаные события с очень сложными боссами и тактиками и хорошей наградой, в игру можно было добавить более сложные достижения, в игру можно было добавить больше сундуков и монстров, больше способов фарма чего угодно, но они добавили 4 персонажа и сюжет с ивентом (ЗА СМОЛУ).
    Вот я до последнего верил что разработчики из мобильной игры сделают хорошую нормальную игру. Но они просто плюют в лицо всем игрокам, и не дают цели и бесконечного (ну или хотя бы восстановление сундуков чаще) контента. Жалко, что в потенциале хорошая, игра, осталась мобильным мусором и играть дольше, 30 уровня приключений нет смысла.

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

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

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

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

    Сначала с плюсов:

    Боёвка отличная и эффектная, все внимации отлично проработаны. спустя огромное количество времени она не надоедает, а даже становится разнообразнее, благодаря новым персонажам.

    Открытый мир замечателен, он очень разнообразный. Ландшафты Мондштада и Ли Юе отлично подходят под их стихии - "Ветер" и "Земля".
    Он не самый большой, но он завершён только на 20%.

    Сам лор(не сюжет) может быть многим интересен

    Теперь про минусы:

    Самое простое - гринд. Гринд в играх это не плохо, но в геншине он ограничен так называемой "смолой", которая тратится на открытие сундуков с наградой. Артефактами, материалами прокачки перонажей и оружия, а так же еженедельными боссами.
    Всё это - банальная попытка заставить игрока заходить ежедневно, под угрозой упущенной выгоды.

    Донат. Он тут решает. Люди не вложившие ни копейки не смогут получить более сильных персонажей(Да, все персонажи хороши, но одни слабее других, и на одних нужно меньше гриндить), да даже 4х нужно будет долго выбивать(Сожелею всем у кого нет C1 Беннета). О хорошем оружии они могут даже не мечтать, крафтовые да черногорские. Даже банальный Ржавый лук будет праздником.
    А донатерам подкуточка :)
    Эксклюзивные 5* персы, которые f2p могут получить только каждый второй-третий баннер.
    А если понадобился и Торталия, и сразу же Чжун Ли после него, то иди донать.
    Вот просто не советую донатить вообще в эту игру, (Да я батл пасс и карточку только покупаю, ничего страшного - очень знакомая мне фраза, да и люди у которых уже из-за этого зависимось от этой гачи)

    Ивенты ну очень скучные. Как бы разрабы не пытались, но они всё ещё интересны только наградой. Да и при том что сами эвенты - набор заданий, который поэтапно разблокируется через промежутки времени(что я говорил про упущенную выгоду?).
    Дополнительные ивенты - та же рутина, но меньше.

    Сюжет не впечатляет, есть пару моментов, по типу Двалина и Архонта вихрей что очень эффектны, но их мало. В основном сюжет умеренно спокоен и однотипен.

    Недостаток контента. На 50м ранге тебе нужно неделями гриндить на прокачку персонажей и крутки, ждя этого короткого изобилия в виде ивентов и новых обновлений, которые на этот момент игры интересны только наградой.

    Комьюнити. Оно не портит игру, но я просто не советую в него вступать.

    ...
    По итогу имеем человека, зашедшего в "среншин" "по рофлу", увидевшего там хороший открытый мир, интересную боёвку, не самые скучные квесты и милых тяночек. А через пол года он уже думает что гринд и донат это весело, и игра замечательная.    … Expand

    Genshin is a game that will lay upon you a story, a well designed world, and the promise of a good open world gacha game only to lead you to the realization that it might as well have been a pipe dream.

    The rates are terrible, power creep is constant, the only thing the grind leads to in the end is your progress "grinding to a halt", everything starts to feel barren and you'll regret the time you spent getting to that point.

    But that's just on the surface: let's talk about some mechanics that are also not fun to deal with.

    Resin. The generic energy system that locks meaningful rewards behind a gate. In a 3d open world game.
    Might not sound that bad right? Well, let's just say any "meaningful" grind is locked behind this resin mechanic.
    Cool weekly boss fights? Considerable amounts of resin required.
    Currency used for upgrades? Considerable amounts of resin required.
    EXP for your characters? Considerable amounts of resin required.

    Combat. Combat becomes dull when you realize that most of your team will only be used to apply elemental statuses for combos (in the game's case they're elemental reactions).
    Use crowd control, group up enemies, apply 2 elements. Then boom. You win. Congrats.
    Bet you feel really proud of yourself.

    The Loot: Any actually useful loot will be obtained from the dungeons (that cost resin to enter), the bosses (that cost resin to claim the rewards you get for beating them), and the gacha (that costs the good ol' premium currency that is annoying to grind, or an obscene amount of money).
    Going around the world, opening chests, that's not gonna do as much as you'd hope in the end.

    That's not all but you get the point.

    I can't be arsed to keep going. There's so much I could complain about that I can't be arsed to write it all down.

    Though, despite that, I'm rating it fairly high considering how badly I think of the game?
    Well that's because early game felt great.. It was fun and not very repetitive.
    If you're gonna play this game for a few weeks and then stop permanently then the game's worth an 7-8. Maybe a 9 if you're into thirsting over virtual women, most of which look like like they belong in the 8-16 age group. Buuut it's not my job to judge.

    TL;DR
    Promising game when you start, fun for a few weeks at most, gets progressively more boring and grindy, the grind is restricted via an energy system, and rng will **** you over.    … Expand

    To put this into perspective..
    -You have to pay for the privilege of grinding a daily battlepass system each month, around $20 here.
    -You have to pay even more for the gems to buy resin refills so that you can actually finish the battlepass on time (Resin is the stamina system in this game, you get 1 every 8 minutes but the natural generation is not nearly enough)
    -The rates are the worst I've ever seen a gacha have, 0.6% for a 5* is already terrible on paper, but it's even worse when you have a 50% chance to get a weapon or character you don't want, making it 0.3% to get what you were aiming for.
    -On top of this, the game is even more frigid with free rolls than any other gacha, even FGO, which itself is incredibly stingy with free rolls compared to other gacha, gives almost THREE TIMES as many rolls as GI.

    The gear system is awful too, stats on any accessory are rolled randomly, and the game is designed so that only offensive stats are useful due to most 'end game' content being DPS races, so even in the rare scenario where you get a 5* trinket, you're very likely to end up with defense, defense %, HP, and HP%, all of which are completely useless. This system is designed to pressure players into buying more resin refills.
    Additionally, 5* weapons can ONLY be acquired through rolling the gacha.

    If the aggressive monetization is lessened, I would rate this game higher, but in its current state it should be avoided unless you're okay with MiHoYo squeezing every single penny out of your wallet.    … Expand

    I've been playing this game from the beginning and lately the game has disappointed me.

    First of all we lack a lot of communication between the players and the developers. Whenever we ask for a QoL change we barely get anything we ask, and whenever we complain about a character because it isn't well thought out we don't even get a communication to at least acknowledge our complaints and    I've been playing this game from the beginning and lately the game has disappointed me.

    First of all we lack a lot of communication between the players and the developers. Whenever we ask for a QoL change we barely get anything we ask, and whenever we complain about a character because it isn't well thought out we don't even get a communication to at least acknowledge our complaints and explain why they would or wouldn't make our proposed changes.

    I don't want them to simply do everything we ask them to, but at least we should have a clear communication path between players and developers. They also seem to be out of touch with the game, releasing a character that has no real usage in the current game like Kokomi.

    Another thing I don't like is that most events give very bad rewards. Early in the game we had one even called Unreconciled Stars, that one in my opinion is the only even where I've felt like the rewards were actually good. For those of you who might now know, in that event you had to use resin to be able to attain you rewards, there were some complaints because you had to use too much resin and you wouldn't be able to farm bosses or domains for you to level up your characters, so Mihoyo thought that the best idea would be to simply not use resin but get almost 10 times less rewards than that event.

    And the last thing is the current anniversary. Not only do they not give good event rewards in general, but not even in their 1 year anniversary do they give much more than other events. I'd even go as far to say that they give worse rewards than in the Lantern Rite event, which was there for the chinese new year. So understandably people are mad.

    We have been complaining ever since they announced the rewards, we were even expecting that maybe they would announce something the 28th since it's the anniversary day. Nope not only did they say absolutely nothing, but they haven't even acknowledged our complaints at all. You can check their twitter account and their hoyolabs website and they just keep making posts about in game thing but nothing talking about the complaints.

    And it's not like they are not noticing, they are censoring their forum in china and their discord server. I think if they had only taken a bit of time to talk with the playerbase and show that they're there listening would have relieved many players and they would have been patient about it, but they are utterly ignoring everyone and waiting for the storm to calm down.

    And this kinda reminds me to wow in a way, but you know what mihoyo this game doesn't have a 10+ years of history where the first 8 were absolutely the best of the game and people just kept playing because they loved the game a lot and were expecting for things to twist. Your game is only 1 year old and not only that but it's a gacha game, people will obviosuly get very mad because they're spending money for the waifus and all but they aren't gonna be happy whenever you're treating them like **** and releasing crap content.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Who would not say what, but the game is just a parody of Zelda.
    I lost about a year at the game simply because I had a lot of free time. If you don’t have a lot of free time, it’s better not to play. The gameplay is nothing like a gameplay, the combat mechanics are outstanding, you are more motivated to explore the world by freebies than by the desire to see something new.
    The game is one big clicker. The only reason for the game afloat is regular events (which do not represent anything of themselves) that give you primo gems. The donation in the game is really very insignificant and you can knock out anything if you take a lot of attention to the game. The problem is that for a year now, there is nothing to do in the game. There is such a place in the game as an abyss, which periodically updates the 9-12 floors on which you can play, but until you become strong enough you will not pass them, and this, like a year ago and now, is the only indicator of your progress in the game. If you go through the abyss once, then you go through the game. New characters simply have nowhere to use, you can, of course, replace them playing the abyss over and over again with different characters, but the abyss is nothing more than just another source of primo gems for the player, there is nothing interesting in it, it is just another source of freebies, and so on almost a year has passed, and no new activities have appeared in the game.
    The impudence of the developers prompted me to write this review. The developers of the game are so greedy that they could not assemble teams of beta testers for the game in a year, and throughout the year they constantly accuse ordinary players of leaks, to whom they themselves provide access. The fines are not small I want to say. Now, due to the fact that this is an indie company with completely mediocre leaders who for all the time could not even figure out the balance of their game (there is a character in the game that makes you almost immortal), both ordinary players and those who tried, perhaps even more of the developers themselves, I'm talking about the Honey Impact site they've closed without any warnings. Developers have been pursuing such a policy for a long time and simply take away what is already ready, as it was with the groups that are transferred to them.
    There was another incident when players were waiting for a character, but they were nerfing him on purpose at the moment he came out, but they were silent in order to increase sales. In general, I will probably sell the account    … Expand

    1 characters - their appearance, skills, weapons and their variations between individuals allows for incredible freedom of choice and preference. for me as an added bonus, i also like coming up with theories about the characters and their backgrounds.

    2 the world itself - in other words, the world is pretty, the world building doesn't have a bunch of holes (yet) and i am genuinely intrigued by the story and what has happened leading up to it all. i have a few theories about that too.

    3 um... there's no "title" for this one, but the idea that it's basically the same graphics engine as legend of zelda breath of the wild is sorta cool i guess. that isn't what i like though. i like that rain doesn't make you slip while climbing and that lightning does not hunt you down for wearing metal equipment. *shudder*

    on to the things i dislike... far more numerous.

    1 primogems - in the beginning, you're young and hopeful. the beginning of a new adventure! then you get to ar30ish and BOOM primogems just stop being given to you. anybody who has played it enough would understand when i say you are hit by what feels like a solid wall that is your lack of resources. especially primogems. as a free player, you're mostly left with daily commissions giving 60 a day and the occasional event.

    2 resin - oh god, the resin. you are infinitely poor when it comes to resin. even if you go out of your way to use every bit you can get per day, it's still not enough. i've done the math and you get 180 in 24 hours. with that in mind, you're limited to 160 held resin at a time meaning you will need to sign in twice a day in order to use it all. next up, you can turn it into condensed resin. literally just taking 2 sets of 20 and turning it into an item that can be used for double rewards at any spot you would spend 20. that's cool and all, but that's limited to 5 too. you can only hold 5 condensed and 160 normal resin, so if you wanted to take a break for a few days, you're abandoning any you would have gotten past 160. (like i said, you face that limit daily too)

    3 artifacts - if you thought resin limitation was bad, let me tell you that one your key sources of strength comes from artifacts and you need resin to get any. resin costs are one thing, but it's such a ridiculous gamble to get anything good. i spent about 6 months specializing in building one character and have really only just completed her set. every other character of mine has effectively just been given had me downs or otherwise so-so stuff. that's a short version of why i loathe artifacts. i'll run out of space if i continued on just that topic so i'll skip it. *sigh*

    4 general resources - like i said earlier resources fall off a cliff once you reach a certain level, but not just primogems. there's mora(money), fragile resin (usable items to get regular resin), weapon upgrade materials, ingredients for cooking and character ascension and general treasure. ingredients, character materials mostly only respawn every 3 days, though ore is randomly generated each day. mining every spot i know of could get you 50-120 of the good ore depending on luck. speaking of which, the ore smiths have a daily limit too.

    5 weapons - 90% of weapons you get in game that are worth using are gotten through wishes, aka gambling. in fact it's very, very difficult finding anything higher than a 2 star in any chest you find. best being 5 star, arguably. you can technically make 4 star weapons, but those need a super ultra rare boss drop. it's actually easier to wish for new weapons, even with excessively limited primogems.

    6 wishes (aka gambling) - tied to primogem problems and weapon problems, the only method of getting anything good effectively, is wishing for them. literally and figuratively. let me do some math for you. a wish costs 160 primos. one day's quests give 60. you need to wish 90 times to guarantee the highest rarity item/character. but there's a 50/50 chance of getting the event one with a solid guarantee after one failure. you have a 50/50 chance of needing 180 wishes. so you need to do 240 days of commissions for a gamble or 480 days for a guarantee. or rely on winning that 1% random chance. all for a character banner that lasts 3 weeks. to be fair, gambling is always like that, but playing a game that has no real goal in mind except perfecting your team, it is a grueling, painstaking and rather gloomy process all while grinding for artifacts with no glimmer of hope either.

    7 censorship - lastly, you can't say a sentence without having stuff blacked out that you never would've imagined was a bad thing to say. honestly, most of it's really dumb, too. like k. it' no joke "k, period, i t apostrophe" is censored. russia's president's name is censored and a bunch of other nonsensical things. there are even specific times where you actually can't change your signature for a week.    … Expand

    The combat, while it isn't the best part, it's also pretty fun, some bosses are pretty cool, most are for the sake of upgrading loot and some of those are pretty cool too.

    But...
    MiHoyo does not give a single **** about their fanbase, the fact that this is a gacha game gives the game a massive black stain, most gacha games often reward their playerbase fairly via events, anniversaries, or just the overall game to keep that black stain from expanding, Genshin Impact in the other hand seems to voluntarily not only expand the damn stain, but add other big ass stains to the game as other problems arise, like, not buffing Amber, making dumbass decisions when making 5* characters, saying false promises such as the KFC glider, the absolutely terrible communication, the way MiHoyo treats their fans, the absolute travesty that is the resin system and the stat drop rates on domains, etc, the fact that the only goddamn way for MiHoyo to listen MIGHT be rant bombing the game is baffling.

    Such a good game totally wasted and almost straight up ruined because of their own creators that are killing the game.    … Expand

    Writing with around 250+h and level 58 AR, the game looks good, combat is also good, that is all the good stuff. The bad things are its not beginner friendly if you get a new char in a new area you must play all the current content which is quite a lot. The game doesn't offer anything after you've done the main story it all comes down to do the repetitive dailies, to weekly bosses repeat.Writing with around 250+h and level 58 AR, the game looks good, combat is also good, that is all the good stuff.

The game doesn't offer anything after you've done the main story it all comes down to do the repetitive dailies, to weekly bosses repeat. It has a coop option but its basically useless cause there is no content for it and which is its just domains which you can do solo. Farming for characters is not worth cause it takes A LOT of time to get something decent for one. For someone defending the character looks remember they are forced to censor it cause the CCP. Eventually the game will die if they continue senseless censoring and there will be better games than genshin in the making. One thing I forgot to mention is their wishing system which is trash and you need it for pulling new char or weapons. The chance of getting it is so low you might as well play a better gacha game like FFBE or Punishing Gray Raven which both reward you more than this piece of trash game. ಠ╭╮ಠ… Expand

    Never seen such a greedy game in terms of monetization. It's great, but all that makes it great is absolutely not original and doesn't even do anything to mask it or somehow alternate from source of "inspiration" and just overall always less in comparison. Don't be fooled, it's casino first and game second.

Do not treat this as your typical RPG or you will be disappointed. it might pretend to be an RPG at the start, but it has much more malicious intentions for the player once it has them hooked. Even purchases such as the battlepass have challenges that require you to purchase additional in-game stamina (Keep in mind this battlepass can also cost money for the better rewards it gives). That's right this game has a stamina system, a feature usually reserved for idle mobile games. Many will argue that this IS a mobile game that got a console and PC port, but the games advertising and developers refuse to admit it. You are going to see a lot of overlap from PC, console and mobile users all applying their own standards to the game, but for a PC game this is not something I would recommend somebody invest too much of their time in to, because this game is out for blood (your wallet).… Expand

    I have switched back to QWERTZ keyboard, and the game now has keyboard mapping.
    Does this mean the game is good now? Not really I don't really like the characters and the story.

On the other hand, the shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, there is a fundamental contradiction between card-drawing mobile games and open-world exploratory RPG games. Good rewards are brought from card drawing, not RPG-style exploration. Secondly, it is too tiring to play as a card-drawing mobile game GENSHIN.
    As a console game, I think GENSHIN can only get 1 point. 1 point for scene art and cute modeling. Its combat mode is clumsy and boring. Its level design is simple and boring. Its script is as thin as water. Of course you can say that the story of Breath of the Wild is not rich, but please, that is "Breath of the Wild".

    It's a very beautiful game with cool characters but there are many problems with the game. Also it's an interesting story. Here are some of the biggest problems in the game that made me rate it a 4.

I did around 100 summons on 2 different banners and didn't get    It's a very beautiful game with cool characters but there are many problems with the game. Also it's an interesting story. Here are some of the biggest problems in the game that made me rate it a 4.

    1) The gacha system is Terrible. If you want a 5 star character then sucks to be you. It's a 0.6% chance of getting a 5 star. I did around 100 summons on 2 different banners and didn't get one 5 star. I also didn;t get that many 4 star stuff because i got many dupes of characters that i already have. There is a 90 pity system though which happens after you do 90 summons and if you don't get a 5 star in 89 summons then you are guaranteed to get it on the 90th pull. But the pity system isn't that good which ill explain in number 2.

    2) It's a VERY VERY grindy game. When you get around level 20 and up it starts to become pretty grindy. When you get to level 30 then you gotta grind a lot. The problem is the higher you get level wish the less you'll get primogems which are used to buy summoning crystals. It is VERY hard to get primogems and xp when you are higher level (around level 20 and up).

    3) There is a resin problem which makes it even more difficult to grind the game.

    4) The story is good but you need to be a certain level to do the main story. So basically you do chapter 1 and then you go on chapter 2 but you need to be like level 10. Then you complete that chapter and go on to chapter 3 but before you can go on you need to get around 3-5 levels before you can go on in the main story. That happens with every chapter. Imagine that when you are level 30 and it gets very hard to level up and you need to be like level 32 to continue the story. It's not that good.

    Also for the gacha system part where you summon for characters and loot, it took a streamer around $2,000 dollars to get a specific character he wanted. And if you want a character from a banner you basically need to spend a couple hundred bucks to get the character if you don't get very lucky with the summons you can muster up from your long grinding.

    All in all the game graphic, characters and story is good but all the problems will overshadow the good aspects of the game later on into the game when you get higher level. If your the type of person that loves to grind a LOT and doesn't care about getting new characters or like spending money on games then this game is perfect for you, but if you care about getting some of the characters and don't like grinding so much and don't like spending money then this game isn't for you in the long run.    … 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.
