    The first 10 hours are fun with nice progression, but after, you just find it is a typical gacha mobile game that asks for cash everywhere with no actual end-of-game content and boring world exploration. The worst is that Genshin is a hollow and empty game pretending to be something great.
    -Gatcha system is bad to a degree I have never seen in online games. The cash required for 1 pull is super expensive, and the 5-star grantee at 100 pulls still only has 50% for the desinatied character in the pool - a greedy and disgusting mechanic to further lower your chances and increase the player game time or top-ups. For perspective, Korean MMOs require heavy grinding, but you can pay a much smaller amount to get your desired item guaranteed; Genshin? A black hole and a lottery machine - if you are lucky, just calculate the probability of your 5 stars and use that luck to buy the lottery and you are already multi-millionaires.
    -No point and meaning to exploring worldwide unless you want to pick up trash daily.
    -Don't even want to mention how unfinished and polished the combat system is.
    -Some good art designs, but you can sense the map design copied many elements from other older MMOs.
    -Good music (the only reason I gave 2 scores)
    -Company with a huge amount of marketing instead of spending money to make a good game, and Mihayo is good at picking their target audience - mostly people who never played many great games in life. This casing the fanboys are ruining the entire gaming industry these days, and I won't support such companies.
    -Some story is good, but the progression is tedious. As a fairly experienced gamer, the overall feeling is like even some cartoon I watched in childhood is even more mature than the world Genshin impact created in the game.    … Expand

    Genshin Impact is a game that honestly runs and plays far better than most free games have the right to do so. While it does borrow many aspects from Breath Of The Wild, it uses them as a base to further build upon and in my opinion, really comes into its own game after the first tutorial prologue by implementing features such as elemental synergies, special ability combos, weapon and character levelling and more.

    Being a F2P game, it has to make its monetization somehow and the way Genshin has approached it is through the gacha system.

    For those that don't know, Gacha is a form of entertainment popular in Japan where coins are inserted into a dispenser to get a toy capsule out of it, the catch being you have no idea what you will get on the other side. Genshin has implemented this feature through the "Wish" system where new characters and weaponry can be summoned using either in-game currency or premium currency...or a combination of the two.

    While this may put off a lot of people (and I don't blame them, coming from a background of gacha addiction) Genshin has 4 key distinct features I would like to turn your attention towards

    1. Genshin provides you with a base set of characters for free and they are more than capable of carrying you through the game on their own. No Story related content exists which is inaccessible to your party as long as you have these base characters. They may be relatively low tier characters overall, but the game doesn't halt your progression unless you pull a lucky draw on the gacha, unlike a certain game I could Star Wars Battlefront 2...I mean mention.

    2. While I did mention the characters you are given for free are low tier, Genshin is a single-player (with co-op) game with NO PvP as of the writing of this review. Meaning if you and your friend rolled the gacha and he lucked out with a 5 star and you didn't, you are not in a statistically weaker position. So while the gacha characters are better and more appealing, they are not mandatory to complete the game and you can play the game from start to finish with the characters provided to you, their tier list placement be damned.

    3. Genshin Impact has a pity system where if you don't get a 5 star within your first 89 rolls, your 90th one is guaranteed to be a 5-star (and if the 5 star happens to be a weapon instead of a sought after 5-star character, then your 180th roll will be guaranteed to be a 5-star character). As a result it is heavily, HEAVILY advised to save up your Primogems and Intertwined Fate (your summoning materials) for a banner that has a character you covet so not only can you have a greater chance of rolling them, but you can take advantage of the pity system as well. Genshin also has 4-star characters available in the shop on a monthly rotating basis, so if you are feeling particularly unlucky today and the shop has a character you want (and you have the resources to buy them), they're as good as yours, no gacha needed (as far as I know, this doesn't extend to the 5-star characters)

    4. Genshin has a unique rotating summoning banner where pulling a 10 roll guarantees you a 4 star or higher character (not a weapon, character), so you never feel cheated out of getting at least a character for your efforts

    So in conclusion, Genshin is a fast, fun and most importantly FREE ARPG with a lot to offer for its price of $0. I hope this becomes the new hallmark for free games, as Mihoyo has shown that if you put the effort into your game, the players will naturally flock to your game (17 million downloads as of this review, good job Mihoyo!). It's worth giving it a try at the very least because you can't beat the price tag of zero dollars

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Everything! There is nothing else good in this game. I have spent several years in this game. I've been playing since release. I always buy the battle pass, the moon. I studied all my characters to make the most effective teams...
    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.

    Don't play it. Don't repeat my mistake. Save time, money and effort.    … Expand

    But It's not perfect :

Fascinating, how easily game journalists were fooled by gambling dressed as a game. But of course, you don't have to gamble, it's about the experience, you see, the stories, the memories, and so on. So just comeAh, Genshin Impact, Google's and Apples' "Game of the Year" that has made 6 million $ a day, currently Epic's best-selling game despite it being "free to play". Metascore: 84. Fascinating, how easily game journalists were fooled by gambling dressed as a game. But of course, you don't have to gamble, it's about the experience, you see, the stories, the memories, and so on. So just come along and have a nice evening. Welcome to the modern Las Vegas, now open for minors. Don't worry, you have it all under control. You don't have to spend a single dollar, just enjoy the show.

    Only a few would admit spending money or an absurdly amount of time on this game, slogging through menial tasks and one bland fetch quest after the other, to farm pitiful amounts of premium currency for another "free" pull at the slot machine.

    Yes, running from point A to B and back again might get very boring but, you see: "You get 4 free summons for it, too. That is, if you do the 5 extra missions after. It’s a pretty great trade."

    So, chop chop, don't be lazy. Ok, "sometimes" players feel bad after they got nothing worthwhile, pull after pull after pull, hours upon hours, dollars upon dollars, down the drain. "But you get so much content for free, you see?!" Yes, it's hard to admit to have wasted your time or money because of all the sunk cost fallacies. Yet, wasting your time seems even worse. Many people seem to forget that their time on this planet is infinitely more valuable than the money they did or did not spend.

    But let's forget about gambling and talk about player retention... er, the "Epic Open World Gameplay Experience ".

    Genshin Impact features a boss fight against an "Oceanid". It talks to you very sagely: "With no place to flow, even the purest of water will begin to envy the forms of living things who can roam about freely. It is this 'water' that will be used to drown you and the pollution ..." etc. etc.

    This boss will drop 2 "Cleansing Heart" items which are required to upgrade a character attuned to the water element. Like many items in this game, this challenge is the only source of that upgrade material in the entire game. To upgrade one single character, you need 46 of these "Cleansing Hearts". Imagine the fun farming this boss, hearing the same lines repeatedly... "With no place to flow, even the purest of water..."

    So, you got another character attuned to the water element? Have fun doing it all over again. And that’s just the beginning: For 1 character, you need to farm 6 different materials including "gold" and experience tomes. To upgrade their talents, you need another 2 different materials plus more gold. For their weapons, you need another 3 different materials plus more gold. Now multiple the time needed to grind for all these resources for every single character you want to level up. And this is still just the tip of the iceberg. See all the other reviews mentioning the endless "soul-crushing grind" to get specific artifact sets with viable stats. It’s layers upon layers of grind.

    From a children's novel (The Phantom Tollbooth) which seems quite relevant today:
    "'Well, I wish I knew how long it was going to take,' Milo wondered. (...) Milo took out the shiny pencil from his pocket and quickly calculated that, at the rate they were working, it would take each of them eight hundred and thirty-seven years to finish.
    'Pardon me,' he said, tugging at the man's sleeve and holding the sheet of figures up for him to see, 'but it's going to take eight hundred and thirty-seven years to do these jobs.'
    'Is that so?' replied the man, without even turning around. 'Well, you'd better get on with it then.'
    'But it hardly seems worthwhile,' said Milo softly.
    'WORTHWHILE!" the man roared indignantly.
    'All I meant was that perhaps it isn't too important,' Milo repeated, trying not to be impolite.
    'Of course it's not important,' he snarled angrily. ' I wouldn't have asked you to do it if I thought it was important.'
    'Then why bother?"'
    'Because, my young friends, what could be more important than doing unimportant things? If you stop to do enough of them, you'll never get to where you're going.‘
    'Then you must…'
    'Quite correct! I am the Terrible Trivium, demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs, ogre of wasted effort, and monster of habit.'
    (...) 'Don't try to leave', he ordered, with a menacing sweep of his arm, 'for there's so very much to do, and you still have eight hundred years to go on the first job.' (…)
    As he spoke, he tiptoed slowly toward them with his arms outstretched and continued to whisper in a soft, deceitful voice, 'Now do come and stay with me. We'll have so much fun together. There are things to fill and things to empty, things to take away and things to bring back, things to pick up and things to put down (…). Why, if you stay here, you'll never have to think again - and with a little practice you can become a monster of habit, too.'"    … Expand

    Прекрасная игра с красивым открытым миром, интересный сюжет. Отличное времяпровождение после тяжелого дня.

    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.
