    It's mathematically impossible to lose 7 consecutive 5* character for 50/50 chance. This game is manipulating its gambling system.

Я как игрок которому нужен больше хай контент в виде групповых рейдов с реально сложными и интересными механиками и уникальными наградами не вижу смысла от новых персонажей и оружия сам же я перестал крутить гачу после того как получил эолу на данный момент у меня 60К примогемов и они мне на хрен не сдались, как и все другие активности и награды. Все кто будет начинать играть в эту игру скажу пару слов про ваш геймплей после того как сделаете весь сюжет и соберёте по большой части все секреты сундуки у вас будет 50+ ранг и тут начнётся самое уныние, каждый день это полу часовой забег в игру в виде 4 ежедневок возможно закрытие ивента на 5 минут закрытие одиночных ворлд боссов, а их 5 уйдёт на это минут 10 в скобочках ворлд боссов по скольку сами же эти боссы не представляют сложности и шотаются с пару авто атак ну и если бездна не на кд то раз в пол месяца вы ещё потратите около полу часа на бездну, это всё что у вас будет по геймплею, а ну и чуть не забыл про смолу ну тут ещё минуток 10, чтоб сбегать в данж за артефактом который вам выпадет скорей всего через месяц и дай бог что через месяц, сам же я уже не бегал сливать смолу около 2 месяцев как я и говорил мне это всё уже нахрен не сдалось и всю проходится на ура. Ну да и пару слов про годовщину тут михуёшки сделали полный обосрамс в виде 10 круток и могли б хотя б добавить уникальную с тематикой годовщины аватарку или крылья, а может и скин на главного героя.… Expand

    Looking at thousands of videos about this game, I decided to go and play it. I spent several hours to understand that this game does not even deserve this 1 that I gave. The plot is terrible and very mediocre, not of high quality from the word at all. The graphics are more or less, maybe even the only plus in the game is that you can look at the loli asses of the characters.

Unnecessary mechanics, boring quests that are completely the same type and the same (go - kill - bring). In a word - **** Online and co-op are also terrible!… Expand

    Essentially just a casino for children. Colourful characters, some great exploration and music, coupled with barely legal predatory monetisation.

    Recent character releases have been unfinished and buggy, the writing sketchy at best, and the recent anniversary debacle shows just how checked out the company is.

    Avoid.

    The game is awesome sadly was made by mihoyo. The game can be great but prepare to see you opinion censored. Also they're using the gacha monetizing but no the gacha rewards. And the anniversary is the biggest joke i have seen. It's enough already.

    The game itself is great, but the company behind it make worst and worst choises everytime. We're all angry because the aniversary "rewards" which is the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't think the game will live longer for another year at this point and all the money we spend on it will be lost

    the entire in-game economy is a scam to trick whale into spending as much money as possible and pretend it is "content"
    no balancing patch, "REAL" QoL improvement, and bug fixing regularly (IE not buffing any underperforming characters, increase the resin refresh rate, fixing horrendously garbage artifact system, any meaningful change to the spyral abyss, etc...)

    terrible story writing, you don't even get to hang the war criminal Childe or behead the Shogun for her ruthless dictatorship, instead, they all went into gambling character for absolutely no logical reason besides money
    and the tip of the boiling pot: the anniversary is a joke and a middle finger to people's face. But it get worse, they ban everyone that "DARE" to ask them is this the real anni gift or just have any general negative feedback that doesn't say mihoyo is jesus christ. BUT you get to work for us with your artwork and cosplay so you may have a chance to compete with millions of people to earn back 1 DOLLAR.

Very similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild, where the game gains a lot of inspiration, but if it's done good, i don't see anything bad in it.

    Story-wise, we don't have anything that is complete, only 3 out of 7?(may be more) chapters are available right now, and the dynamic of getting new chapters isn't too bright, given that it took 9 months for the 3rd to release, and another month for it to finish. Which is a shame, because the story is quite interesting, i'm not going to spoil anything, i'll just say, that even after a year playing the game i still find myself reading through dialogs and not skipping any cutscens.

    The gameplay is very deep, with vast world to explore and unique playable characters. By the way, that last point is one of the biggest problems with the game. Characters are either 4* or 5*, latter usually stronger, and are harder to get. On fact, so hard to get, that after a year of playing you'd have 5-6 5* characters, if you're a f2p. There are also 5* weapons, which are as rare as the characters. And there are artifacts, with rng so bad, i have been farming them for 3 months not getting ANYTHING decent. A nice adventure becomes -log in, do daily commissions, go get 5-6 bad artifacts, log out, repeat the next day-. Talking about characters it's hard to not point to the lack of balance: some 5* characters are useless, some are extremely strong for no apparent reason, some 4* characters are extremely strong, some are useless. That would be the problem if you were the one choosing, but in reality it's gacha that decides your fate.    … Expand

    - Artifact mechanics are 80% unspecified and very inconsistent.
    - Hitboxes and enemy attack tracking are often unfair and the resource systems are designed to be traps for players who don't have a PHD in Genshin Impact mechanics and math.
    - Artifact and character RNG is so bad even playing for a whole year every day won't give you enough resources for the hard and reasonable content to play to feel moderately easy.
    - The devs regularly patch the game, but if you read the patch notes, they never fix gameplay/quality of life things that have been broken from the start, they pretty much only fix compatibility issues for phones so that more and more new players can come to the game, spend their money, and then leave.
    - It's disguised as a game where you can collect characters and builds... But you don't collect most of them, you don't get to pick which characters, and you don't get to level up and play most of them.

    They basically got like 3 inexperienced programmers, 3 random artists, and made a game that wastes massive amounts of money and time from players. It may or may not be an extreme example of how much money can systematically force most products to have bad quality.    … Expand

    The game has great potential. Being the most successful game to break the fastest earning records within a short period of time, breaking the 1billion record and all. And has potential to earn even more and revolutionize the open world game genre in multiple platforms.

    BUT…
    all those hard work of blood, swear, and artistic tears are smeared by:
    - the lack of Quality of Life improvements,
    - limited “energy” (this game called it “Resin”) with mobile games limitation
    - limiting the gameplay and enjoyment of players to truly enjoy and immersed in the game keeps it short;
    - the greedy and stingy company’s decisions: becoming more stingy and stingy (compared to their generosity near launch a year ago vs. anniversary rewards/celebration),
    - unwilling to listen and adapt to players’ feedbacks,
    - pure PR disaster of fans giving the game bad reviews due to the lack anniversary rewards/celebration,
    - that PR disaster also spills bad review onto other games/apps store pages too,
    - more PR disaster of blatantly censoring players’ opinions (especially negative ones, despite being constructive and wanting to improve the game)…
    - more and more bad “design” decisions developing short-term game features that gamers will abandon once they get “the Catch” or reach max rank for the Teapot Housing system, etc.

    TLDR this game is becoming its own worst enemy because it became so successful overnight, and the company has no idea how to carry on forward, especially by ignoring its fanbase that contributed a lot to the game success in the first place.    … Expand

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

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

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

    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.
