    You get plenty of free pulls monthly for just playing (though trying to get a 5 star character can be frustrating), Rarity of either weapons or characters do not play a major role in gameplay and even your starting team remains viable with three star weapons in the current game version.
    The game can be entirely enjoyed for free and I did not have to grind at all so far.

    A phenomenal free game that combines the classes and effects similar to our age old pokemon along with a hack in slash adventure reminiscent of breath of the wild. It honestly is my favorite game as you can login on your pc and mobile device to play the same account so no matter your medium you can continue to progress!

    The world design is nearly perfect, and every npc in the game has his/her story. The main story and side stories and the hidden lore go well together.
    The anime style scene and lighting is fantastic. The photo mode is very useful to create beautiful wall papers.
    The down side of the game is the late game play. The designer can put more effort to improve it.

    In the end, if you really like anime style and open world, you can certainly have fun. And this game is free to play.    … Expand

    If you think that this game is pay to win just because it is free to play, you are very wrong.

    4)The world is filled with chests and dungeons and alot of stuff for a free game and you never feel like this a free to play game which is good.

    Personally this game is a very good and its resemblance to BOTW is something i needed as i completed that game and there are almost no good games like this especially for free

    It has healing scenery and great OST.
    There are good game play and attractive characters.
    It's not just playing games, it's also about exploring the world.

    the game is really nice, it has its problems, but the company is working on them, and they have a good track record. i dont have that many positive things to add that others havent already said it before, just that the game is getting an unnecessary amount of hate from players, and that this situation will eventually be solved

    Tontas son las personas que dan calificación negativa solo por estar furiosos de su mala fortuna en el gachapon. Para vivir la experiencia de disfrutar del mundo y las emociones de los personajes no pagas ni un centavo. Es un juego hermoso la verdad. Tontas las personas que no se dan cuenta que es normal poner micro transacciones dentro de los juegos y más tontas quienes caen en ellos sin tener dinero de sobras. Veo muy permisible para cualquier personas gastar 50 dolares solamente ya que es lo que hoy en día cuesta cualquier vídeojuegos. La verdad meterle 50 dolares está bien, pero más de eso no deberían pensarlo si es que no les sobra el dinero.

    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

Your so called "resin wall" is just a way to make you feel you're doing something, while there isn't more content in the game. Would you all prefer "Come back in 2 months for more story?" type of game? I think not.

    I fell in love with this game from the get-go. I've played all the Legend of Zelda titles before, and even though I could call most of them great, Genshin Impact gave me an entirely diferent vibe. The local music, different in every region, the difference in the scenery... You can almost feel, like you're really in a different country.
    The story quests can easily occupy you for 40+ hours, but it will probably take you much more than that. The dynamic events, the puzzles all throughout the map, encounters with enemies - the so called "distractions" are adding to the dynamic of the map.

    The game presents you with few characters of varying elemental attacks: wind, fire, ice, water, which let's you finish the whole game (as of right now), but (and it's a big BUT) the game Free2Play system is one of the most fair I have ever seen.
    No, you can't buy experience with money.
    No, you can't buy story quests DLC with money.
    No, you can't "buy" certain characters or weapons with money.
    All you can do is try your luck in a Gacha (basically a slot machine). You can get good characters, mediocre characters - some better, some worse, but you can always make someone good, if you combo him with appropriate equipment.

    If you want to pay money to get a big advantage - you're in bad luck. It's a no no for buying "character pack" for 100$. You, as all the people, have some % chance of getting any character/weapon from one of three slots.
    Free2Play players can get Primogems (you roll Gacha with it) for doing: story quests, normal quests, daily quests, events, random encounters, opening chests.
    It's in no way a low amount. You'll find people complaining, that on the game release everyone got a ton of bonus Primogems and that now it will only go downhill - yes, it will, it will be quite harder. But the game doesn't require you to roll anything in order to complete literally everything. It's not a competitive game. You only play the game of "medium" vs "easy".

    Taking all of it into consideration:
    - Best free2play game ever, possibly better than Zelda Breath of The Wild
    - OST is just godly, the London and Shanghai orchestries did a perfect job
    - every character is different, you won't find 2 characters that do the same thing, just one better than the other
    - You can play the game on your PC and later play for an hour on your mobile phone wherever you are
    - Graphics are very nice and game is not hard to run on pretty much any hardware
    - Good character desing + every character has a backstory about them    … Expand

    Great exploration game. Doesn't need to spend so much $$$ to advance in the game. The Resin system is good for me because I can't play so much in a day. This controls others from advancing too much. Anyway, the game is free. I don't know why some people are asking for too much. Low gacha rate? Don't pull. Expensive crystals? Don't buy.

    Rather than a typical online game, Genshin Impact resembles a traditional single-player jRPG with a real-time combat. For a free-to-play title it is very impressive, but turns out to be pretty derivative and quickly slumps into monotony. [13/2020, p.52]

    Overall, in spite of things that should bring Genshin Impact down, the game is so much fun to play that the negatives are ultimately minor gripes. [...] The gameplay is smooth and simplistic, and it works great on all platforms - though I’m still not sure why the PlayStation version can’t be linked to a Mihoyo account so I could play on my phone when I’m not at home (PS Vita version please??) but it’s a small gripe to an otherwise terrific game.
