    Is the game p2w? No, it's not. You can realistically complete the game without dropping a dime.

    2. The game has numerous timegated mechanics such as resin, processing, etc.
    3. The game also has a battlepass system, with some missions literally impossible to finish without using the gacha currency.
    4. The exploration isn't nearly as interesting after an hour or so of exploring. The "puzzles" are repetitive, the scenery is repetitive (god I hope you love the color green), and the chest rewards are all at best mediocre.
    5. You cannot rebind controls.
    6. You can't skip cutscenes, and are forced to click through dialogue. Even if you like the story you would have to do this for mundane sidequests as well.
    7. Going from A to B without waypoints is excruciatingly slow, as is climbing.
    8. You're letting a Chinese company put a kernal level anticheat on your computer.

    So if you want to try it and form your own opinions go ahead. Just be aware of the technical and predatory issues that the game is abound with.    … Expand

    Now, almost 1 year later almost nothing has changed. Maybe you can change the 20 hours to 30 or maybe even 40, but that's it. The endgame is basically non-existent with no future improvements in sight. After catching up with the story and exploring the majority of the world there's only a daily, repetitive grind of ~30 min. Sometimes there are events that increase the time to 40-45min.

    Regarding rewards, the company is rather greedy. Usually, there is about one new "rare" character every 6 weeks. On average getting that character once requires around 105 pulls, but as f2p you don't even get a pull every day. Furthermore, similar to other gacha games, pulling a character multiple types improves it. This is literally impossible to max as f2p and costs multiple 100 bucks as spender. As f2p you best quit after the story, as light spender you can maybe have fun for some additional time and as whale you're just burning money.

    Don't play the game now, rather treat it as early access. Wait a couple of years until the story and all regions are completed, then you can enjoy the game.. for a while. Playing right now and grinding out your characters is just a frustrating chore that is unlikely to yield significant advantages in the long run.    … Expand

Combine that with predatory mechanics towards the late-game that prevent you from advancing without serious time commitment or paying for materials, it's impossible for me to give this game anything above a 1.

    -After AR40, character talent materials are now tied to the weekly bosses. There is a 1/3 chance that they drop the material you need, meaning it would take you months to actually max out a character.

    The positive reviews are from people who haven't played this game enough to see its problems. I am now AR39 and my playtime has been reduced to 15 minutes per day because of resin. If you're looking for a good game that respects you and your money, then look elsewhere.    … Expand

    All in all a grind that does not feel good, a technical disaster and a money grab. And we didnt adress the topic, that the game looks like a rip of breath of the wild. Really not worth playing.

    Now with the update 1.2 i thought about reworking my review, but the new game features and the new part of the map are even worse, than what was there before. Still a bad game, which lost even more fun with the newest update, still a money-grab, still not worth to be played.    … Expand

The producer company Mihoyo market it as an RPG when there are millions of ways destroying player's immersive experience by switching characters during a quest. Some character I don't even know the background story, I just got it through the also confusing gacha mechanism. And why on earth would you include such a horrible p2w thing coming from mobile in a so called PC game?

    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

    Monetization in this game is atrocious. 200+ dollars (90 pulls) to guarantee a single RANDOM 5 star (rarest and strongest) character. And to max out the character you need to get the SAME EXACT character SIX TIMES. This is simply ridiculous even if you intend to spend money, and it is straight up impossible to do as a F2P player, as you dont get nearly enough currency for 90 pulls.

Right now a lot of players aren’t complaining about this because of the games honeymoon phase but this is detrimental to F2P player base months down the road if Mihoyo doesn’t address this issue.

    Now to address the resin issue. For starters, you can’t even finish the weekly resin usage missions on the battle pass without spending primogems or fragile resin to refresh. What kind of joke is this if you’ve bought the battle pass? It’s like paying $10 for the pass, then requiring to spend extra resources/money just to complete the pass. 8 min per 1 resin capped at 120 is a ridiculously low cap and slow regeneration rate even for a gacha game. At least in Fate Grand Order they allow you to raise your cap through levels and let you stack a lot of energy regen materials like golden apples for events for free.

    After AR30, the game becomes super dry in terms of content, I just log in, do dailies, use up resin for 20 min, and just log off. I think this problem will be resolved once new content gets released, but is also a byproduct of the poorly designed resin system.

    I really hope Mihoyo listens to players criticism and feedback. Like I said, this game has great potential, and I want to see it succeed, but this starts with communication and cooperation between the developer and player base.

The problem is that once you have gone through this Open World Action RPGs storyline and even slightly before. This game ABRUPTLY stops you from any real progression. The majority of games you play that are open world action RPGs allow you to play and progress to your hearts content. But Genshin forcefully stops you from being able to make any real progression with a system called "resin". Aside from the fact that it has the oh so well known Scummy Gacha gambling system. It also prevents you from doing any important progression parts of the game, which all require Resin, to be able to collect the rewards. It stacks up to weeks upon weeks, just to be able to use a single character that you might have paid hundreds of dollars or more to get through the aforementioned Gacha system. This game has a lot of potential. But without some serious Overhauls to the games mid-endgame gatekeeping. Only allowing you to make any real progress for maybe 15 minutes a day. I would recommend you look elsewhere.… Expand

    The game had so much potential with it’s gorgeous open world, beautiful soundtrack, one of the best anime-style graphics and character designs i have ever seen, but they blew it. Sure, the game is fun if not amazing for the first 2 weeks, but sooner or later, you are going to hit a wall when it comes to progression, being able to play the game for only 15-20 minutes a day because of "Resin", the energy system of this game and also the reason for it’s downfall. If you’re playing the game as F2P, you’re pretty much screwed, since the only way to refill Resin in this game is to either wait a whole 16 hours for it to completely refill (As i said, it takes 15-20 min to use it all up BTW) or use primogems to instantly refill it, which can be bought with real life currency. This is what i meant when i said that you’re screwed as a F2P player. It doesnt help that MiHoYo doesn’t give a damn about it’s playerbase, saying that they will respond to player feedback by changing the Resin cap from 120 to 160. Now this might seem like a good thing, but it’s really not. It will still take 8 minutes to recharge 1 resin, whether the resin cap was 120 or 160. To put it more simply, the playerbase asked for more water but instead got a larger bowl.

    In conclusion, stay away from this game, at least until they overhaul the resin system, which i doubt will hapen.    … Expand

    You will regret playing this game after you reach AR 40 so dont bother installing it. Right now the resin system sucks, you can only play 20 minutes per day. The devs not listening to all complain we give to improve the game.

    Sadly this game is pestered with unrealistically overpriced microtransactions and limitations to gameplay.
    You can basically only play the game for 15 minutes daily before you are forced to buy more "resin" (energy). WIthout it you are unable to collect rewards of dungeons and enemy encounters. A fundemental part of every rpg, and this game.
    There is no way to level up your characters, and in general progress, after a certain point in the game without using these dungeons. In other words there is nothing else to do.
    The rates at which you unlock new characters through gambling are too low as well. And the amount of money spend on each roll is way too high.
    Though again, even if you get lucky, you will barely be able to play that character because you are not allowed to grind for the required materials without spending even more on microtransaction.

    Stay away from this game and the company behind it. They don't listen to their community. They spit on everyone, including paying customers.
    (Some more personal issues with this game):
    I am not really saying that the gameplay in Genshin is entirely bad, but there really is not much to do When you're unable to choose the characters you wish to play.
    (Daily logins with barely any rewards and the same repetitive and underwhelming tasks definitely take a toll on you after a while)
    The gacha, characters only being obtainable through lootboxes, is really pulling down the score of this game.
    Players who don't choose to spend 1000-20000$ on this game will never obtain the full constellation of even one character (bonuses and special properties which are added to the kit of a character, changing up the way the function)
    It especially is heartbreaking when you read the stories of a certain character which you unlock by playing them, through "friendship exp", getting to know them better. But you still cannot make that character function, and have the most fun with them without getting their constellations.

    Imagine Battlefront, but you need to pay 1000$ to unlock Vader as a playable character, and then another 6000$ to unlock all his abilities and passives.    … Expand

    One of the best games with huge potential to be ever made, Held back by Predatory Monetization practices worse than the likes of EA and Activision costing hundreds of dollars in gambling systems for a single Hero/Character, we who played it for over a solid 100 to 200 hours now crashed against the hard content gating and paywall to do anything worthwhile including upgrading your charactersOne of the best games with huge potential to be ever made, Held back by Predatory Monetization practices worse than the likes of EA and Activision costing hundreds of dollars in gambling systems for a single Hero/Character, we who played it for over a solid 100 to 200 hours now crashed against the hard content gating and paywall to do anything worthwhile including upgrading your characters levels or equipping them with better gear. Apparently this is supposed to be normal by mobile standards but not here, PC frowns upon such practices hence doesn't matters how grand of a game it is it's wrong. Also the developers have a track record of not making better changes until their income is threatened by loss of playerbase in previous titles and this was just further proven by their response to the complaints about Genshin's system which shows that they did not read a single feedback post on their forums or surveys. So keeping all this in mind it's a 1 out of 10 for me, at least until it brings Very Significant changes to better it's systems, so please try it out without spending any money and move onto better games, Save yourself and your hard earned money, You as a consumer deserve Value for your Money, don't fall into their trap.… Expand

So, it's as if someone took your favorite game and one of the best games ever created (Breath of the Wild), directly took the unique gameplay mechanics and art style from said game but ran them through a bland filter, and was awarded $450 million dollars voluntarily by people to do so. Absolutely f****** amazing. Oh look, you can start climbing any cliff, where have I seen that exactly before. Hm that burning grass effect, where have I seen that exactly before. It is a rip-off of mechanics and art style of Zelda, but kindof a knockoff-quality version of that world, the tree/buildings etc look sortof clipart versions. The main character designs and attack animations do look very good - I'll give them that. And of course the nature of the combat is a bit different than Zelda in that you can use multiple characters/etc. I wish that was enough to forgive nonetheless borrowedness + blandness + atrociousness of everything else about it.

    Hey it's totally F2P right?, Yet, all the while there is the motivation of leading people who apparently possess no willpower to decide to take $500 out of their wallet to attempt to unlock generic random characters and sword polygons. Put it this way: if the monetization wasn't immoral, it kindof shouldn't be POSSIBLE to spend $500 on make-believe swords and anime girls (that you are not guaranteed to actually get, mind you), yet that IS easily possible in this game. Because it's not a game so much as a gambling machine with pretty-ish anime wallpaper. And you paying $500 to them directly encourages them to develop and shovel out their next game which will gladly accept another $500 from the next zero-willpower guy. That's why AAA games which you just pay an upfront single, honest price of for, and get to play in their entirety sans gambling, are ultimately doomed.

    It is deeply, deeply depressing that this is such a popular and profitable game. I think quality gaming is somewhat screwed if this becomes acceptable by enough people to allow predatory practices from and monetarily reward game developers who do this. All they had to do was wrap up the underlying gambling-addict practices with the borrowed aesthetic from another cherished and normally priced game. I guess we can expect the next great game "Murio" from this company, where you get to freely play a jumping plumber who hops on Koopoo's and eventually get to pay $200 of cash you have to apparently burn on gambling on getting a special fire-flower (maybe - it's gambling, no promises). Yeah, I'm bitter. I hate played this game for 30 minutes and uninstalled it. I don't respect people who voluntarily paid that much money for gambling to a company that ripped off another company's ideas and aesthetics extremely profitably.

    So I guess someone could like this if they have never played Breath of the Wild and are just blissfully unaware, or are like a teenager that just has no cash and is enjoying F2P and just likes the anime style. But again, $450 million dollars profit from this b******* in 2 months = many many people are falling for the gambling. So that F2P is great in theory, but isn't remotely reality. Very much NOT free-to-play.

    TLDR: The gameplay/graphics are "meh" and a rip-off of another studio's work, and the pricing/profitability motive = atrocious    … Expand

    After some time and first impressions you're getting an endless grind with money milking daily restrictions. Inadequate prices. And the greed level that makes even EA shy.

    Devs are completely ignoring community. And their ability to design characters is highly questionable.

    For example: There were two consecutive banners with new limited premium characters: Childe and Zhongli.

    Childe was absolute OP by himself, and even more with lvl 1 passive that gives all other characters in the party +1 to Auto Attack talent lvl. Which top lvl is locked behind an item limited to Events one item per month or two. So basically his passive is like always available limited item substitute!

    And then comes Zhongli an underpowered premium character even weaker than many common characters causing massive backlash. With a passive returning some materials from the craft you would be able to use once a year or even never.

    Well that is some next level of 200+ years of design experience. And devs response was "don't worry, we are releasing some char which will be good in pair with Zhongli next patch". That is some next level of community management. Especially when it costs 400$ to guarantee a single character drop. And to max it it might very well be another 2000$

    So my advice: play it for the story if you care and don't pay a dime. Then uninstall.    … Expand

Однако со временем осознаёшь, что это всего-лишь иллюзия. Своеобразный мотив игрока играть. Однако в итоге всё свобиться в бесконечному фарму на протяжении всей игры, и кручению гачи. Квесты в игре ужасные, Скучные, не интересные, однообразные. Они все построенные по шаблону "собрать какой-либо ресурс, убить кучку монстров, побегать туда-сюда", максимум вам попадётся несложная загадка. Игрок никак не взаимодействует с миром, в игре практически нету закрытых локаций, кроме подземелий. И продолжать можно ещё долго Чего только стоит тот факт, то что вы не можете пробежать даже main-квест без фарма и прокачки ранга приключений. Это делает игру ужасно затянутой, скучной и однообразной.
    Прокачка в игре бессмысленная, ибо у её нет конца. Только вы прокачали персонажа, как ту же уровень мира повышается, и вам приходиться качать персонажей снова. Это замкнутый круг. Если всё вышеперечисленное для вас критично, если игра не приносит вам ничего кроме скуки от бесконечного фарма, то пожалуйста - перестаньте в неё играть. Это пустая трата времени.

    At first, it all seems that the game is really good: a beautiful interesting world and characters, wonderful music, a plot (which does not differ in particular depth or originality, but you can be interesting in your own way). However, over time, you realize that this is just an illusion. A kind of player's motive to play. However, in the end, everything is free in endless farming throughout the game, and the twisting of the gacha. Quests in the game are terrible, boring, not interesting, monotonous. They are all built according to the pattern "collect some resource, kill a bunch of monsters, run back and forth", maximum you will come across a simple riddle. The player does not interact with the world in any way, there are practically no closed locations in the game, except for dungeons. And you can go on for a long time What is the fact that you cannot even run the main quest without farming and pumping the adventure rank. This makes the game terribly drawn out, boring and monotonous. Leveling up in the game is pointless, because it has no end. As soon as you pumped the character, the same level of the world rises, and you have to download the characters again. It's a vicious circle. If all of the above is critical for you, if the game does not bring you anything but boredom from endless farming, then please stop playing it. It's a waste of time.

You do trials to get nice rewards, but first 8 floors one time to visit only. 9-12 floors resets every few weeks, but instead of getting good amount of "Primogems", 300 like from each of first eight floors, you get 150 gems. And last four floor trials not even nearly easy. You need to kill n-number of mobs, for certan amount of time. Each floor have three rooms, you can pass with rate 0-9 stars, 3 stars 50 gems. Every mob in last four floors is overpowered, with hp and damage. Especialy last floor.

    Now, Primogems - how to get and spen them.
    You can get Primogems by progressing the story, for each quest you will get aproximetly 60 gems, from chests you can get 0-10 gems, also you get 30 gems for first time visiting dungeons, also yo get 60 primo gems for all 4 daly quests, starting from 10th adventurer rank. Or the easiest way to get gems to spend irl money. One gacha roll = 160 primogems, 3$ = 180 primogems.

    Now the most interesting part, gacha or casino, or loot boxes.
    There are three banners "Character", "Weapon" and "Standart".
    5-star has 0.6% to drop, 4-star 5.1% and 94.3% 3-star. Prety dope, huh? For game with limited curency.

    Oh and by the way, every character you have 6 "constilations", like unique passive talents which you get ONLY if you get duplicate of that character, or if MihoYo start event with free characters, I remember only two such events, but you get only certain 4-star character not any character.

    Character banner has "high rate" to get to drop limited 5-star character and three 4-star charactes but also you can get five 5-star charaters and eleven 4-star characters from standart banner.
    The thing here is, "character" banner contain more than characters it also has 18 4-star weapon and 13 3-star weapon.

    Weapon banner has high rate to get certain 5-star weapon. Here is no triks, only 3-star 4-star and 5-star weapon. Pretty peculiar if you check how "character" banner works.

    Standart banner looks like "character" banner but it doesn't have limited, or "high" rate characters. You also can get 5-star weapon there.

    What I want to say is, "Character" banner is scam. If you free to play and you want certain character, it's high probability that you never get it.

    Resin or energy.

    Maximum you can have 160 resin, every interaction with world, like grinding artifacts, money, resources, expirience, cost 40 resin. Weekly bosses cost 60 resin, there are three world bosses now. One resin reganerate every 8 minutes. And of course you can regain it for primogems, aka for irl money.

    In conclusion, game it self good, but there is nothing there.
    And I don't understand why so many people prise that game so much with this monetization, instead of telling developers to change it to the better. Like really, make customization shop, you will still get money, but yea. Greed is good.    … Expand

The game wants you to complete a mission but youhave a low level character which can't be ascended as we can't fight bosses by ourselves and multiplayer does't work since another mission is impossible for me with lower character. It's a eternal loop. The multiplayer is total scam.You can't explore some parts of game since you have not unlocked key features. Thus to increase xp you have to farm but normal battles harly give you any xp. To get new characters from free passes you have to unlock floors in dungeons which is impossible with low level characters without lots of food items.Again answer is long days of farming.

    Like at this point this game is not even proper farm based,open work nor a proper multiplayer based.

    сюжет относительный мне +- зашел только в 1 регионе, а во втором действия архонта непонятны зачем было нужно ради испытания отдавать сердце? Можно же было просто отойти на покой и в случае чего вернуться
    Звуки мне вполне себе зашли Озвучка в целом я играл на японской но в один момент решил посмотреть что на других озвучках и с моей точки зрения голоса слишком разные например Янь фей в японской и английской озвучке звучит ну слишком разно Конкретные минусы Просто ужасная система прокачки которая завязана на чистом гринде 24на7 ,или на 15 минут чистый рандом и как итог билд зависит не от предпочтений игрока, а от везения Геймплей, по факту конец игры и начало различаются персами, скилами, оружием вроде неплохо даже отлично но вот только если дать игроку который поиграл часа 2 в игру играть на акке человека который наиграл 100+ ... он будет играть почти так же как и владелец акка я к тому что игра не вынуждает тебя учить какие-то новые фишки и тд те же самые элементальные реакции нужны только чтобы решать головоломки и сносить 2 вида мобов ( слизни и маги при чем последних можно убить и без них) , есть только 2 места в игре от которых может полыхать жопа и то не прям сильно это аждаха и бездна, почему не так сильно? Потому что на 2-3 попытке ты поймешь что следующий уровень сложности не пройти с твоей прокачкой так как тебя давят слишком большими цифрами, а не скилами ( как например в ghostrunner) И так же один в один стыреные анимации с зельды ( бег, полёт, при нырянии даже брызги такие же и летят в те же стороны) Мультиплеер Если вы думаете что это ММОРПГ вроде destiny 2 то вы ошибаетесь это вообще не ММОРПГ так как по факту игра синловая единственное что может побудить играть по сети помимо фана с друзьями это квесты и.... Гринд, а если быть конкретными воровство ресов Мир В целом он не особо и плохой но там есть только головолмки 2 города 3-4 хороших квеста и Драконий хребет единственная наполнения хоть каким то интересным контентом локация хотя и довольно маленкая . Обновления В плане сюжетки еë за год с просто очешуительными заработками расширяли... 5 или 6 раз наверное?

    I'll give it to them, the map is big. But the exploration feels absolutely pointless.
    I feel like there's ultimately no point in exploring the world. I feel like everything looks the same.
    The elements feel very generic, although they really encouraged me to switch between characters often.
    I had high hopes for this game, but now I feel the absolute opposite. I think my relationship with this game might be even described as hatred.
    Especially with the company "miHoYo". I really hate them.
    And the story? Oh boy... So bad.
    The dialogues are so boring and irritating. The characters are unbearable, their personality is probably the worst thing. Especially the personality of "Diluc" and "Venti.
    The game is very easy to master, and I got to AR 30 very very quickly.
    The plot is boring and not engaging AT ALL.
    The combat system could be interesting, but it's so simple...
    The loot boxes (In this game their name is "Wishes") should be banned. I hate them very much.
    Why can't I try to get a character that I actually want by spending time on interesting quests instead of just buying some currency out of the Shop and get a completely random character? Why?
    I don't get it. That could be a big factor in encouraging you to explore. You will actually need to do some work to get your character...
    Let me tell you something, I really checked it out. Most players of this game spent at least 30 USD on this. Since when have you heard about someone spending their money on microtransactions in the game BOTW?
    The map is boring and the areas are very similar visually.
    The game platformer elements are one of the worst stuff I've ever seen. This is not platforming. You are just climbing on stuff. That's abominable.
    I hate this game. I think it's terrible.
    I'm not even going to get into the 60FPS frame rate cap or the optimization problems.
    Some people will adore this game, and I just can't think about how can anyone look and play this and have a good time. Do not waste your time. This game might be addicting, but don't let it fool you. It's terrible.    … Expand

С каждым новым патчем придумываются новые способы выкачки последних денег из ваших кошельков.

    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]

    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.
