Once you've done those two things, which you can do in the span of a week of after-work play, Mihoyo's idea of endgame amounts to a daily 20-30 minute grind, limited by a horrible gacha-game stamina/energy system (called Resin System in GI) aimed at incentivising you to pay money to reduce the necessary grind OR buy more stamina to enable the grind. Even among gacha games, which this is to it's core, it's bad. Never before have I played a gacha game with an stamina/energy system this restricting, and I've played my fair share of them, including the notorious F/GO.

    Not only is the energy/stamina system one of the worst, if not THE worst, among it's peers, it also boasts some of the all-time worst rates for the gacha component. A laughable 0.6% chance to get a 5* unit. Again, F/GO is infamous for it's horrible rate of 5* characters and that game has nearly TWICE the chance of getting one such character at a 1% rate.

    Once the honeymoon phase wears of (the 8-10 out of 10 game score phase) so do the rewards for actually playing the game. You simply don't get any premium currency anymore. Playing normally, no events, no login rewards, you get 1/3 of a summon each day. To get a guaranteed 4* (not 5*!) you need 10 of those summons.
    To get a guaranteed 5* you need 90.

    "But hold on, what about the events!" I hear you say. "Surely the events make up for the lack of daily things to do!" No. The event rewards are pathetically low. The gameplay of the events is boring and repetitive. And the events cost stamina/resin/energy. So if you want all the rewards from the events you need to use your resin, which means you can't do anything else that day!

    Co-Op is underwhelming at best and non-existent at worst. I can't explore with my friends because I can't open chests or do side-quests while in their world. Sure, I can do the boring and repetitive events with them, which makes them somewhat more bearable, but that shouldn't be the point of playing with friends. Co-Op feels like it was only shoehorned in at the last second because people assumed it was going to be in and Mihoyo didn't want to deny it in fear of damaging their marketing campaign.

    The core game itself is fun and I'd like to play more of it, preferably with my friends. The game activally gates me from doing the former and isn't build to do the latter. It's made to look nice, shiny, inviting, wholesome and fun, but underneath the hood it tries it's very damndest to get you addicted so you spend your money for towards its predatory practice.    … Expand

    Welcome to Gacha Impact: Breath of the Resin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    This is a great game that is held back by a Resin(stamina) system.
    Adventure Rank 30 and below is the honey moon phase. Once you get past that most of the progress is locked behind the resin system.

Basic activities require 20 resin, bosses are 40 and weekly bosses wich you can only fight once a week need 60 resin (yeah, they are gated with both time and resin). Once you are done with your resin all you can do is your daily quests, 4/day, wich are basic quests with a "go there, get/kill that, come back", about 10 min of actual gameplay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    MiHoYo, this isn't going to work.

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

    Before I say anything I want to start by saying thank you to miHoYo for creating a beautiful and wonderful game. I enjoyed it as long as I could and I loved every minute I was able to. The music, the graphics, the sounds, the combat, the exploration, the secrets, the collectables, the achievements, it was all fun and I’ll always remember the positive points of my experience with GenshinBefore I say anything I want to start by saying thank you to miHoYo for creating a beautiful and wonderful game. I enjoyed it as long as I could and I loved every minute I was able to. The music, the graphics, the sounds, the combat, the exploration, the secrets, the collectables, the achievements, it was all fun and I’ll always remember the positive points of my experience with Genshin Impact.

    However I’m writing this to speak plainly about issues the game has had since Day 1. Issues that have yet to be fully addressed, explained, or resolved. The number one issue that’s been a hot topic for weeks now is Original Resin. Lackthereof or otherwise, this system is the largest obstacle for players to overcome once they reach a certain level, making it nearly impossible to progress meaningfully. There are a few other issues I would like to address as well.

    1: Original Resin
    2: Low Gacha Rates / Wish System
    3: Lack of F2P PrimoGems
    4: Lack of meaningful co-op experience
    5: Lack of communication from Development Team/Staff

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

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

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

    I do not want to waste my primogems on energy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Controller support would be a fine addition since we won’t have to obstruct the screen with our fat hands. This will allows us to appreciate the astonishing visuals of this game even more. Moreover, it will be more comfortable for us to play with a controller for long hours. IOS 13 & 14 already added controller support for PS4 and Xbox controllers.

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

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

    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.

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!

    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. Like I just played demo version.
    It's like they mock their audience, even players who gave them money. I hope that they will listen to users, I hope they improve everything and one day I will give 10 score for the game. Sorry for my English.

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

    And what do I have? Until now, the game constantly humiliates me. I spend a lot of time, effort and even money to achieve the result - the passage of the abyss for 36 stars. Even though I have a lot of 5-star characters, a lot of legendary weapons - going through the abyss still causes a lot of pain.

    The plot deserves special mention. If initially it was interesting, now it has become boring and stretched. Instead of constantly going to the goal (search for a sister), we are engaged in some kind of garbage: they intervened there, changed something there, etc. And this did not make us closer to the sister. All the local problems that we solve do not affect our goal in any way.

    The community of this game also deserves a special mention. This is a disgusting, toxic and stupid community. They point blank do not see the obvious shortcomings of the game (there is no CD reset on restart, etc.). They try to give advice without understanding the specifics. The game has artifacts that can be obtained, but each player will have a unique one in terms of performance. No two artifacts are exactly the same. This fact is simply ignored by these advisers.

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.
    Genshin Impact была бы отличной игрой если бы системы смолы и гачи в ней не было.

    Awesome game that makes great first impression until you actually realize what it is after playing for 20-25 hours. It's a rip-off gacha with 0.6% chance to roll for 5* and very rough stamina (called resin here) system. Much rougher than any other gacha I've played. And what developers do? They make a sudden 20-50% price increase for a number of countries like Brazil, India and Russia.

    No regional prices. They just chose greed over community when the prices on pc were equated with the prices in the app store.

    Great game before Lvl 30, nothing more after that. To have a good experience in the end game you need to pay at least 300 USD per month. This game doesn't look like to be so p2w...but yes it's "kind of" p2w, to win a good experience. Also the EULA violates the EU GDPR rules.

    They started slowly censoring their game, by changing Rosa's body and Mona's clothes. People blame the government regulations for that, but that's BS. The game is low-key feminist from the start.

Then you get to the city and the leader of the knights is a chick, along with a mage, who's also in some leadership position and who acts in a very femdom way.
    Not much changes later. You even meet a chick bard who says that her bad husband wanted her to quit her job and take care of the home, and that's why she must warn all the women on the continent.

    One positive is that this bs made it easy for me not to spend any money on them.    … Expand

The account's level (adventurer rank) determines which content you are allowed to play and enjoy and the only way to progress it further after rank 35 is to do daily missions and use resin which doesn't even yield that much experience where at this point it's just about daily logins.
    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.

    PC gamers, run from this game, it will be fun and later it becomes 100% **** mobile game, with energy system, time gating and u cant even play more than 30 minutes everyday.
    Also if u want anything but the **** characters they give you 4 free better get some thousands of dollars ready. Andi if u are in another region, they removed region pricing too, just bcuz they love the playerbase.

    Note: Ar 42, Total spending: 22 $. ( Almost F2P )This game is an absolute scam. Trust me by my experiences. Do not whale on the honeymoon phase. The resin system will deliberately stop you from playing.

    This game is a trap... The one of the worst.
    Around AR25 player will reach the point when paywall is gonna block the fun. Yes, after a sorten amount of gameplay the resin system is destroying the entire game... Without spending $10/per day you will be able to play for 15minutes daily and that's it...
    The endgame? What endgame? This game is like a job, do daily quests and go home.

But that's all the braindead weeaboos who wouldn't mind emptying their wallet for a 3D model of some 14 year old anime girl care about, I suppose. 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. Please don't waste your time on this game, there's much better ones out there.… 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.
