    This game is in war right now.
    On one side, there's the art, music, writing, animation team who did such a wonderful job so players can feast their eyes and ears on their work.

    On the other side, you have the business decision team who're actively trying to prevent players from playing and enjoying the game with terrible gacha rates, inflated prices, resource shortage, over monetization and even time gates progression to prevent players from playing too much.

    Players are torn between praising the game's visuals, score and writing and loathing pretty much everything else. So far, the bad business guys are winning, hence my score of 3. The art team can't produce content fast enough while the bad business team is slowly chipping away our motivation to play every day.

    If you can play this ignoring all the business/limitations, just for the story, playing very casually over months, then you'll enjoy the game a lot.
    If you want to play until you have your fill, assuming that fill is more than 15min/day, then you'll curse the game's bad decisions for not letting you enjoy it.

    I don't think it's worth playing it in it's current state, wait until there's more content and that these issues are (hopefully) fixed.    … Expand

    I hope you read this to the end.
    This is a Chinese free to play in the open world, with elements of CH. This should be understood from the very beginning, so that you do not have false expectations.
    And Yes, if you don't like anime, it's not your choice right away. What do you get if you install it? 1) the Game, suddenly! Despite the fact that it is free, it is a full-fledged game. 2)    I hope you read this to the end.

    What do you get if you install it?
    1) the Game, suddenly! Despite the fact that it is free, it is a full-fledged game.
    2) a Large open world in which the first 30-50 hours will definitely not be boring.
    3) the plot, but simple. And Yes, to complete the storyline and all the side tasks, you do not have to invest a penny. I'll tell you about Donat later.
    4) Beautiful music that blends perfectly with the game world.
    5) 24 playable characters. Beautiful female characters (which unfortunately are increasingly difficult to find in modern games), beautiful male characters. Low bow to the artists.
    6) a HUGE space for fans to collect builds.
    7) Interesting gameplay tied to the combination of different elements. In any case, it was interesting for me.
    8) loot Boxes. I will not write anything new here, this is something that can drain all the money out of you, and may not drain a single dollar. If you don't want to get everything at once, then you can play perfectly without investing money in the game at all.
    9) KLEE kawaii.
    10) Graphics, the game looks great on the computer.

    That's probably all I can think of so far.
    CONS! I almost forgot about them.
    1) Grind, it is here. If you categorically do not like it, then you may quickly get bored and you will give up the game.
    2) a Lot is taken from the legend of zelda -_- if you played it, it may hurt you.
    3) it can be difficult in Places.
    4) When you complete the story and vacuum the entire map, there is nothing to do. Although it took me about 100 hours. Not bad for a free game. It remains to wait for updates with new territories.

    Probably everything now.
    Why 10 balls?
    Beautiful characters and a world in which it is pleasant to be.

    I hope the translator coped with its task - _ -

    - Heroes and weapons are not balanced, so on higher levels base heroes are almost pointless, so you need to roll loot boxes to get better heroes randomly, from a lot of crap.
    - Heroes and weapons can be upgraded just by their duplicates, so you need to buy more loot boxes, to get about 6 more copies of item you need
    - Weekly, with heavy grind, you will get maximum 10 rolls for loot boxes after Randk 32, so if even they will not add any new stuff in Wishes (Loot boxes), you will need at least 150 weeks to upgrade out 2 heroes to their average power, but you need at least 6 different elements, so at least you will need at least 4 different heroes of top tier with 4 different weapons of top tier.
    - Even if you will want to grind, you are limited, cos you have "energy" limit, to grind content, so if you spending in around of $2000 on Wishes was not enough for you and now you finally want to Play content of the game, but you energy ended, you have option to Spend More Money to buy this Energy!!! < Perfect!!!

    Do not get me wrong, the game itself is good, to run around the world, play the story, search for the lore and some side stories, but this is it, play and forget, or become an addicted person, who will spend thousands of dollars, to have any fun from it over rank 30+, for now it's a lost potential of a really Good F2P game, which now is a Heavy Gambling Machine, unfortunately.

    But you still can have 10 hours of fun for free, so -
    ATTENTION: DANGER - Do not get Addicted!! Do not spend money at this state of the game.

    So for a Game: 8/10
    For a Gambling Machine Simulator on later levels: -8/10
    I love this game and hate their economical idiocy at the same time, I was looking to buy BP or Blessing, but after seeing this craps (especially it feels after R30) this game will see $0 from me, until they will not change it to somehow fair, reasonable and balanced form, there are a lot of F2P games with a really good, friendly and balanced economical models, when you do not need to sell house to get something useful on higher levels and ranks.

    Also, game have mixed optimization, on the one hand it mostly (Mostly) run very smooth, but you can't even normally change Kaymaping, game have some badly optimized areas too, vertical mouse sensitivity is an absurd, mouse feels like swimming and that can't be changed, camera lives in its own live sometimes, when you jump, camera may automatically look down, game can't use whole potential of GPU and CPU, also do not use extra RAM space, so even on SSD it have some MF sometimes, also it have quite unstable FPS on Pascal architecture and many other small problems.

    Hahaha, now they add event, where you need to specd resin, to get **** amount of Gems... :D And they people say, that AA or BDO are Donating Trash games.... :D    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    And now for the good part!

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

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

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

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

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

    You can coop with your friends for much more pleasure!

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

    Really nice for a free game, although gacha would lure you to spend hundreds or thousand dollars on it, the game itself is still playable, not to mention it is also giving players gems occasionally, not only through email but also through events. Players also got at least 50 pulls for free when they reaches level 10.

    Si tanto se queja la gente que vayan y le inviertan cientos de horas a el desarrollo de un videojuego como éste sin meterle micro transacciones para poder seguir desarrollando. Las micro transacciones son el resultado de empresas de alto renombre como EA games y Epic. No es algo que ésta empresa se haya sacado de la manga.

    Solo les digo. Disfruten el juego sin frustrarse por si no les sale el personaje que tanto querían. ésta semana hay un evento para obtener a Fischl que es uno de los personajes más deseados. El juego es nuevo y es por eso que hay tanta persona frustrada. Hay ciento de juegos con un RNG cientos de veces peor que éste juego como Subir full set BLACK STAR con Caphras en BDO. Esto no es nada y ciertamente se siente el amor que le pusieron a las voces de los personajes, al arte del mundo y diseño de los personajes.

    Es un juego realmente hermoso y vale la pena jugar como todo MMORPG sin frustarte por tener lo mejor tan pronto como puedas, porque si algo he aprendido de tantos MMORPGS que he jugado es que si te centras en ser el mejor no vas a disfrutar el juego como se debe.    … Expand

It features bright and beautiful visuals, fast-paced combat, excellent character designs that manage to straddle the line between pleasing to the eye (aka, girls are THICC) but not a turnoff to the more sensitive members of the audience (apparently). Ripping off a plethora of gameplay elements from Breath of the Wild, it adapts them into its own gameplay loop with flawless execution to make it feel like its own thing. After this, it introduces its rich story through lavish cinematic cutscenes, boss battles, exposition and flavour text the likes of which rivals Skyrim. All this high-quality content at this price point is insane, which is of course why they lure you to spend money on enticing characters that cater to a wide variety of preferences, male or female. That is the monkey's paw in all of this. Thankfully, this monetization model is fairly decoupled from the core campaign, and as has been mentioned often, renders this game very F2P.

    After about 40-60 hours of campaign (that will only increase in length in time to come), the game transits into an endgame grind where resources are timegated. However I'd also like to point out that 40 hour single player content that you spent 60 dollars for similarly slows to a grind in the endgame. I'd advise considering the amount of campaign content you get for how much money you're spending and let that influence your propensity to play this game.    … Expand

    Genshin Impact is an adventure RPG that uses a world level system based on your adventure rank. The reason they used Adventure rank is because you control multiple characters so they couldn't base it on your own level like in skyrim.

    Early game (Rank 1 to about Rank 35) you'll be able to pretty much experience the game to it's fullest without any difficulties. The problems come when    Genshin Impact is an adventure RPG that uses a world level system based on your adventure rank.

    Early game (Rank 1 to about Rank 35) you'll be able to pretty much experience the game to it's fullest without any difficulties. The problems come when your adventure rank goes past that point as the material requirements to level up go through the roof. Characters require weapons to be leveled up, diablo-like trinkets to be farmed so you get the right stats and then leveled up, along with their own skills that require talent books to level up. This is on top of having to get ascension materials from world bosses to, you guessed it, level up.

    So what happens when you get to late game and pick up that brand new shiny character from the gacha system? Well, you'll be in for potentially weeks worth of farming to simply use that character, and this is what kills this game and why so many people are leaving it.

    Yes, those people in the other reviews saying "you don't need to be super leveled to do the content" are correct, but the difference is you could be fighting some basic monsters for up to 3 minutes while someone else who has better luck and gear can clear those monsters in under a minute. Outside of two special quests, there is no way to stop the world level from creeping up as you play.

    There are a lot of people complaining about resin blocking the gameplay, but honestly resin is a far less problematic thing than the RNG on party composition and gear.

    Oh yeah, and you have to roll on a roulette wheel to try and get better weapons than the basic ones they let you craft in game, which is on top of rolling on the character banner...    … Expand

The combat in this game is so over simplified, it might as well just be turn-based game for children. The story feels like some generic JRPG from 30 years ago, filled with uninteresting characters the game shoves down your throat to invest you in the gacha. Oh, the gacha! If the .6% rate for limited characters wasnt bad enough, its the fans justification for this being the "pity system", where if you roll an absurd amount, you'll just get a "good" character (or weapon,) guaranteed. How generous! The repitiveness of this game becomes completely nauseating by the time you reach the 2nd area in the game, which just feels like an overwhelmingly bigger version of the first, but with a different theme of course. This game is the biggest disappointment I've played this year, and just feels like a bad omen of what future games will be like. I know for a fact this game won't improve in the future, it'll just continue to add more and more shallow mechanics until it's on its last legs.

    Imagine a team of talented artists making a gorgeous game, but the game is unfortunately directed by the most out of touch director/team there is. The part where they copied from Breath of the Wild is awesome as expected, but every other part where there's business involved is awful.

    The game expects you to pay, I mean it is balanced around players paying for its paid perks. If you don't, you'll just never have enough. They even had weekly quests that required you to pay to play more than their daily limit if you wanted to complete it, yes, there's a LIMIT to how many activities you can do daily. It's like they don't want players to play their game.

    The gacha system itself isn't bad, but they chose to put atrocious rates. So expect to pay up to $200+ to have a 75% chance at getting a character you want. And then you probably won't have resources to use them, because they come at level 1 and your enemies will much stronger, and the only feasible way to level is to do your very LIMITED daily activities. So you have to choose to either spend your activities to level your new character, or continue leveling your high level ones who are probably doing all the heavy-lifting already to clear the same activities.

    The pay to win in this game is, unfortunately, too much. You can see in many games where paying gives players a small boost/advantage to catch up with others and in my humble opinion that's fine, gives players who doesn't have too much time to play a way to keep up, but in Genshin there are items/systems that are only designed for PAYING players. There's a bunch of items that the only way to obtain is by paying, as well as skills/level-ups that are also only available if you pay (and pay a LOT by the way).

    Their balance is also out of whack, in nearly everything they give as low resources as possible, you'll never have enough of anything to level your characters and their multiple systems that require leveling up, and there's a bunch of ways to purchase (real money) these resources you desperately need just to feel you're not being left behind. Enemies will keep getting stronger, and so must you, but you'll struggle to keep up unless you pay, that's how it's balanced.

    The game is still in its infant stages, but a lot of these are complaints from players ever since their beta began and their direction did nothing to address these, so I hold very little hope they'll improve any time soon. Probably when their player base/profits sink so much then maybe they'll take a second look at these complaints again.

    In short, it's a beautiful game with great gameplay (copied from a critically acclaimed game afterall) filled with poorly business decisions trying to squeeze money from players in every possible way.
    It is free to play, but expect the usual scummy cheap mobile game money grabbing tactics limiting you to play in every way unless you pay. Just stay away from this for a couple years when they improve their game and check if it became a whale-only territory with 20 players online or an actually decent game.    … Expand

    To start: A lot of the lower reviews are misguided or based on sensationalist news articles. It does not take a month to upgrade a character, period. Anybody who seriously thinks this is actually completely incapable of doing math, or thinks that maxing a character is required for the character to be usable. This is like saying that you cannot play your character on WoW or another MMOTo start: A lot of the lower reviews are misguided or based on sensationalist news articles. It does not take a month to upgrade a character, period. Anybody who seriously thinks this is actually completely incapable of doing math, or thinks that maxing a character is required for the character to be usable. This is like saying that you cannot play your character on WoW or another MMO until it was fully decked out in the highest raid gear available, ignoring the fact that characters are obviously functional well before that point. It's simply not true. The price increases mentioned are not MiHoYo's fault, but are in fact the fault of Apple.

    Moving on, this game is charming and has a lovely OST, as well as truly enjoyable gameplay and combat. I typically play the game around 2-4 hours daily without any issue, and I am AR 42. The game is not without issues though. Weekly bosses require in-game energy, and with 1.1 coming, an entire day worth of your energy generation will have to be dedicated to these bosses EVERY WEEK. The events are very sporadic, have poor rewards overall, and there's no daily login rewards, which is completely absurd for a gacha game. In my opinion, the daily tasks should reward just a bit more, and I believe they should reward some energy in addition to the very small amount of primogems (premium currency) they award.

    Despite these flaws, I feel as if the game is a quite good experience. Obviously, this game will improve with time, so waiting to play it later when the game is more generous is a solid choice.    … Expand

    They do worst than EA/Blizzard all together.

    This game is an empty shell:
    - no combat customization - no combo system - no customization at all - no skin system
    - no real content (all quests can be done in 1 day) - no endgame - no re-playable adventure dungeon
    - no end game The only thing you can do is upgrading your characters.

    The resin system created to farm anything you need to upgrade talents, level, weapons, craft ...
    is depleted in less 45 minutes. And after that you need to pay with real money.

    You will mash the same button over and over and over. The combat system was created in 1990 and feel empty and useless. And can be described as: mash mash mash, use 1 skill, swap character, repeat.
    Even 1990 RPG get you more possibilities.

    To play a character you seek, or even a good weapon or artifact, you will need to bet on loot box
    renamed here: Wish. Or fight small dungeon using your limited resin per day.

    Good luck with that. Good luck to get the one you want. Awful system who was used into Star wars battlefront at start and was suppressed by EA some time later when all the player base leave and loot box was declared illegal in some USA states.
    This game is based in China so you will never seen that happen before at least 1 year "at best".

    The worst part of this game is: Even you get all the characters and artifacts and weapons you seek, you will never get enough money or stuff you need to upgrade them with in-game free to play resources.
    You will need to buy tones of resin. I am talking about 5000 USD$ at minimum.
    Be aware, this is not my point of view, this is mathematics.

    If you are looking at the press you will see they have been fooled, as us all.
    Because you can't see the real purpose of this game before 30 hours of game play.
    This "casino" video game is not here for entertainment, it's here to rip off your credit card.

    This game "was" a ray of hope, but now we know this is just a disgusting cash grab.

    Imagine that into FF7 original or even the remake to:
    Bet real money to get a random character "Cloud, Barret, Tifa .."
    And bet real money to get a random Materia,
    And bet real money to get a random weapon,
    And bet real money to upgrade anything.
    And bet real money to get artifacts.
    No one will ever play FF7 even with his amazing story and his very large content.

    About the gacha mechanics, it's very insidious. It tries to bait players by being very generous at the beginning, and then teases you with new heroes, compelling you to buy some Wishes (which are lootboxes of this game). If you can use this fake generosity to your advantage, you can get lots of different heroes and loot free, but if you're susceptible to gambling and prone to addiction, I'd advice you to be very careful.

Good story for the "first chapter". Good quests. Good graphics for the world that is interactive enough to give you goosebumps cause I have seen no free games that is consists of so much game mechanics and visuals that is not only the texture. Like the game itself took me as free player month just like snap and I still want to explore Teivat, gather resources, enjoy the view and things realized in the world.

    The wind, the sky, the clouds... everything is alive and feels so forgotten in the game world of the games.

    But as all free gacha games on start it lacks of content especially when you rush things and in the higher AR levels end you meet the chaos of disorganization on how to reward people, how to give them something for their effort and how much energy they need to feel satisfied. I clearly do not understand who decision was to make it 8 mins for 1 energy that it takes 16 hours to replenish fully but that is the rock in the people courtyard. Cause you don't feel that you did something in a day even on higher AR levels. That's why people are in panic to not cap it cause then they waste their efforts. 6 minutes is like enough for normal human to sleep, wake up, see he have energy, waste it, gone to work, come home see he has like good amount of it after work and play for more activities.

    IMHO People are bombing the game with negative cause of their vagaries and that they want it to be completely free, give everything to them here and now like the entitled kids do. I see the review bombing has become from the "tool of justice" to the "tool of fulfillment of your own wishes". That's not cool to do with the games by describing your own vagaries.

    The game is pro actively discouraging people from playing the game by barring content behind said stamina system and you only get to play the game for like 30mn daily. The system needs to be fixed before anyone can enjoy the game. Not even p2w in this game works because you have a limited amount of refreshes on the stamina. The studio got an insane amount of feedback on how bad the stamina system is during closed beta and yet they managed to make it worse on live. The game seems very promising but leaves a loooooooooooooooot to be desired.
    The gacha system leaves a lot to be desired and pretty much gates you from playing new characters. For most content you can do it with the basic characters given for free to players but for the endgame (spiralling abyss), if you don't land some lucky rolls you are stuck in a wall and can't progress any further at which point even skill doesn't matter and the game becomes about which characters you acquired from the gacha.

    A whopping 40% price increase on some regions just because they can't be bothered with restricting purchases within regions. After that, any and all hope that this game wouldn't end up just as a cash grab gacha went out the window.

    The game was great, but the gacha was bad and the drop rate was low. But after today's when prices have increased in many regions of the world, as well as in regions with low wages. Sorry, but raising the prices for donation by 20% is too much. Some people live off that kind of money.
    Of course I will play this game, but I will not recommend it.

    The artists and character designers, the music composers, the storywriters, everyone who gave it their all.
    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

    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.

Так ещё по мимо этого в начале игры отсыпают кучу донатной валюты, и у наивному игроку может показаться, что он в принципе сможет играть в игру не занося туда денег, ведь донатную валюту игрок может получать за некоторые активности в игре. Но это только в начале ближе к 35 РП, единственными активностями будут ежедневные задания, за которые вы сможете получить 60 примогемов (а чтоб один раз покрутить рулетку надо 160), фармить в игре вы тоже не сможете, потому что "смола", и её катастрофически мало. Настолько мало, что на 40-45 РП ваши персы будут бегать без нормального оружия и артефактов. Отдельно стоит сказать про систему гача в игре, или по русски рулетку, оттуда выбиваются персонажи и оружие, шанс выпадения легендарного героя или оружия составляет 0,6%, что очень мало. потому что для некоторых данжей в игре требуются определенные персонажи, но не переживай в игре есть гарант, на 90 попытке тебе обязательно выпадет легенда, вот только именно этого легедарного персонажа ты хотел? стоимость 90 прокруток приблизительно 15 тысяч рублей, ну или копи пол года.

Donut is the main problem of this game. At the beginning it is not so noticeable, but closer to the 35-40 rank of adventures, hell begins, consisting of grind and / or donation. The passage of the twisted abyss of level 7 is impossible without successful characters or 40 adventure rank, which is unrealistically boring to grid because of the lack of content. Best I could achieve: 30 seconds lag to 3 stars in the first room on the 7th floor. The only way to get at least something after the 35 adventure rank is to donate. The original resin is recovered very slowly. After a complete exploration of the world and the completion of all world quests, there is simply nothing to improve weapons and artifacts with. In dungeons, solid debris falls, which is not enough to improve good artifacts. Have you decided to collect crystals and improve your weapons? It was not so! They are restored every 3 days and there are about 40 of them. You can collect more, but it will take too much time. Many people will think that I am some kind of casual, but no. I only want the game to become more difficult and interesting. Now there is no challenge in it other than: "Grind for the sake of grind." All dungeons are passed by 1-2 characters even without taking damage, monsters in the world do not pose any danger, and the cooldown of the terror of the storm and the lupus is 1 week, which makes them impossible to farm. Farming common bosses (elite monsters) is not fun. All the drops that I fell from them consisted of a wreath for resistance to a certain element and a heap of blue trash. And of course, an item for raising a character, which is useful only at rank 40, to which it is very boring to swing.… Expand

Putting gacha system for playable characters inside open world action rpg, making chance for player to pull for their favorite character in the gacha pool and doing some action gameplay with them. The action gameplay is really nice. The story is pretty good. The open world is beautiful. The soundtrack is absolutely stunning. I would totally give them 10/10 rating if not for the **** mobile energy system getting in the way of character's progressions.

    Meet resin system. The mobile game standard energy system, making almost all of playable character's progression options gated by time. For 1 resin recharge time every 8 minutes. You need 16 hours to refill the capped amount of 120 resin, which will be used up in less than 30 minutes game time.

    You want to level up your characters? Spend resin.
    You want to increase level cap of your characters? Spend resin.
    You want to increase your characters talent level? Spend resin.
    You want to upgrade your character's weapons? Spend resin.
    You want to increase level cap of your weapons? Spend resin.
    You want to get artifact for your characters? Spend resin.
    You don't have enough currency (mora) to do any of things above? Spend more resin.

    This might not be a problem if they make the recharge time faster or the amount of drop increases but right now it's just plain disgusting. Someone already do the math on reddit and to fully leveled one of your character, with no mats it took weeks if not month. You can spend money to recharge half of cap amount and even that is limited to 6 times a day with a total of $10~. This is so stupid that even if you whale and spend on their main monetization which is gacha, you might not be able to use the character's for month.

    The problem is that the resin system is so obscured until you spend around one week of playing the game. You watch the game with brilliant shiny glasses until you finished the main storyline that abruptly end, and reach Adventure Rank 30 and start to notice the problematic resin system. And when you finally reach Adventure Rank 35 the problem is becoming way more apparent.

    Genshin Impact grossed $100 million in less than 2 weeks. I believe those people have yet to reach AR35 when spending money on this. I bet a lot of people regret spending their money way to early in the game just to meet with this time-gated content. If not, then Mihoyo successfully laid them in their predatory monetization traps.

    I suggest you to stay away from this game at least until they actually heard the community, and change this massive **** system.    … Expand

    - Quite a good fight, tied to a combination of elements. There are few possibilities for creating builds (squad and artifacts).
    -Large, beautiful open world that is fun to explore in the beginning.
    -Excellent musical background

    Minuses:
    -Gacha. Nothing can justify the loot box mechanic.
    -Primogems for gacha in the game is farmed very slowly. There was more on beta, but the drop from chests was reduced at release.
    -After completing all the quests, there is only a boring grind 30-40 minutes a day.
    -Energy system (resin) strongly inhibits character development at a high level. The developers clearly want players to donate for energy replenishment. For example, to ascent character on 70 lvl, you need 12 resources from bosses, they only drop 2 (rarely 3), most likely you will have to kill the boss 5 or 6 times, and this is at least 200 resin, more than one day of generation. And you have 4 characters. And you also need to get money for this resin, res for character exp, skill books.
    -It is very difficult to change the character or weapon in the lategame. You will have to spend a lot of resin on the character, and you can only get weapon enhancement materials by running all over the map and collecting crystals. Also, you can get a lot of additional resources from the Battle Pass (and even this won't solve all problems). So experimenting with builds is problematic. Pick one and play with it.
    -Mihoyo doesn't really listen to players. They promised to add a couple of the requested mechanics (like blocking the artifact so as not to accidentally throw it out), but instead of increasing the rate of resin generation, they just increased its maximum storage (which is useless with constant play). They are clearly not going to increase the very low drop rate of 5 * characters (0.6%). At the same time, it is really good to get some characters several times (for example, Klee almost certainly needs the first constellation), the cost of loot boxes is quite high. The respawn time of the chests is also clearly not going to increase (you can forget about the game for a month, and even a half of the chests in the world will not be respawned).

    If you have a question "what's the problem with spending another 1-2 weeks and power up more characters?" Answer: Adventurer rank. With it, the level of the world grows, the main source of growth: 4 daily quests and resin. If you try to spend resin on many characters at once, then the world level will grow, and you do not have strong enough characters, the difficulty of the game will grow until you catch up with the world level, spending all resources on 4 main characters. You can power up one new character, but even 8 (for the abyss) is a problem.

    This game has potential, but version 1.0 has too many flaws. I don't expect a lot of content from the service game on release, but these disadvantages are too obvious.    … Expand

    But it's a shame that devs made such a fun game so short. Open world and game mechanics are great, but this huge world becomes instantly a desert after AR30, which you can reach for about 2-3 days. There is nothing to do, and you can just delete the game until new patch comes, then play several hours and delete again. No endgame content, no real challenges and very boring co-op. It is better to buy some indie game and spend your time for something offers you finish whole story or have infinite fun in different activities. I know it is a free game, but... the game is just a dissapointing for people who loved it after release. Even f2p players don't deserve being fooled by first few hours/days of gameplay.
    You can say, if you don't like the game after main story finishes (but don't really ends), just make a new account and play one more time. Personally, I don't wanna lost my characters and all I've already done and got. I liked the game in my first account, I wanna stay here, but Mihoyo offers me nothing but 20 minutes (or less) of daily quests. No complete ending of the story, no endgame content.

Проблема в отсутствии эндгейм контента. Будто поиграли в демку игры. Заходить на пару минут за дейликами - такое себе удовольствие. У игры большой потенциал, но она его не реализовывает - это обидно. Игроки не ноют, они просто хотят, чтоб игра стала лучше. Поэтому я присоединяюсь к негативным отзывам и надеюсь, что когда-нибудь смогу поставить этой игре 10. А пока с ней печалька. Поиграться 2 дня и забыть.    … Expand

Unfortunately once you rank up to AR 30s the game gets VERY grindy; with the limited Resin system and world respawn rates for items (mushrooms, etc) which are necessary for advancing your characters, you'll be logging in and wondering, "what can I do?". Beyond that, the animations are beautiful. Some of the English voice work is spectacular and is pretty engaging. There is a "Pay-2-get better" system much like Warframe, and I would advise not spending any money towards the loot boxes aka Wishs here. You can buy them with in-game currency. Overall Great game, would recommend playing.

    Really good game with awfull monetization, especially the resin system.

    1. You cant try another character because resin wall. 2. You cant try another weapon because resin wall. 3. You cant try another artifacts because of resin wall. 4. You cant get fun in co-op, it is useless because of resin wall. If its all about money, why just not add some skins for heroes/weapons.

    The game is just great. Especially if you don't forget that it's free! I just sympathize with all the disgruntled critics who sit there for days trying to collect all the characters and spending thousands of dollars. You have clearly forgotten what it is to play and enjoy.

    There is three problems (at 29 October of 2020), that are scorching my impressions on this game after my "honey month". I am not a whale, but dolphin (bought monthly subscription for primogems after first two weeks of satisfied gameplay). I am gonna explain, why you should afraid of this game. At least, at this state.

I am not a whale, but dolphin (bought monthly subscription for primogems after first two weeks of satisfied gameplay). I am gonna explain, why you should afraid of this game. At least, at this state.

    1) Gacha rates are bad.
    I know, that this is just "casino" under cover of nice ARPG with cute 3D anime girls and good OST, but... Rates are really abysmal even for that kind of game. There is Fate: Grand Order, Arcknights, Fire Emblem: Heroes, Azur Lane and Girls Frontline. They all has really good drop rates for good heroes. What about this abomination? 0.5% for 5* hero and 95% for 3* weapon? Here it is, Johnny boy! Also count of primogems, that can be found in the game was hugely cut off since CBT.
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just increase rates and give us more primogems. That's all.

    2) Resin system is sucks.
    Remember that deprecated and annoying "stamina system" from old browser and mobile games? This is it. You will need a huge amount of that piece of junk resource just for almost every activity in the game. Wanna treasure from Ley Line? 20 resin. Wanna treasure from event? 40 resin. Wanna treasure from elite boss? 60 resin. "Nice", isn't? You have only 120 of that crap. And believe me or not, but regen rate is very slow as turtle in the desert. What "MiHoYo" is gonna do about it? They just want to increase it to 160. "Nice". We need water and you give us just bigger bottle. Wow! What a pun!
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just get rid of that system, but they never do that, because many whales are just too stupid to buy resin thru primogems.

    3) Difficulty spikes and grind isn't fun at all.
    Many cool quests are contained behind "AR wall". Adventure Rank is equivalent of Mastery Rank in Warframe. Completed quests, opened chests and almost all activities can give you small amount of it. But certain AR's gonna raise your World Level (WL in future). It's 20 and 30. And you know, what WL is doing? Here it is: All enemies, including bosses, are now has really huge amount of HP and attack. You will regret about it. And here comes the "favorite" grind: mora (local analogue of money)(because you will need this for everything), exp books (for lv-up characters), ores (for lv-up weapons), artifacts (they leveling only thru duplicates) and special materials from dungeons and bosses just for ascends.Every WL will be a hardcore wall for casual players, that just loves photo-mode and wants to do nice quests. Also, if your WL is very high and enemies around level 80, then you messed up, 'cause if you are too lucky to obtain new cute meta waifu from gacha, she will be level 0, so... Grind again! "Fun"!
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just make WL's unlockable thru special trial dungeons, that will contain mobs with levels from that WL. And after that players just can activate any unlocked WL. Wanna "good" loot and "funnier" mobs? Go ahead. Why all players (both whales and f2p's) need to go thru this hell? There is good example, like Steel Path in Warframe, difficulties in Diablo 3 (also errands in every region) and OP levels from Digistruct Peak of Borderlands 2.

    If Genshin Impact was only for mobile phones ("Come one, guys! Don't you have phones?"), then OK. This "gaming" platform is already dead for me. But Genshin Impact is out not only for this platform, but for PS4 and PC and it's going to Nintendo Switch. This is unforgivable, 'cause it's gonna ruin gaming industry more, that EA with UbiSoft and Bethesda...

    At this broken state i can't recommend this game to anyone. Seriously. There is just "Zelda: Breath Of The Wild". I don't care, will you play it on Nintendo Switch or just thru emulator. This game is really better. Gosh, i want even buy full priced AAA game like Genshin Impact, but without casino, resin system and stupid world levels. Indie developers!

    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

    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.
