    Best Adventure game for now. I am both a fan of Mihoyo and Nintendo. Truly, this game is much better than "Zeda's clone"

    Very good free to play game. Awesome graphics. Story. Game play. A lot of content to explore. I hope more is on its way. I hope they keep the f2p nature the same way it is right now.

    Esperava mais desse jogo, tem os gráficos bonitinhos, a jogabilidade é boa, porém fica um jogo meio incompleto, depois de um tempo enjoa, mas é um excelente jogo, quem sabe no futuro tenhamos montarias, pets... porque a única coisa que vc faz no jogo é upar arma e matar monstros... nada mais...

    I love this game. It has a huge potential and most important you can play it comfortable without and donation. Genshin Impact is looking much more better than most of Ubisoft's AAA titles.

    But I think devs should fix the game's gacha rate. 0.600% chance for getting a character? Are you kidding? Also I think MihoYo should remove the resin system.

    The game is beautiful and fun, but it doesn't have anything original, it's a Botw with magic and waifus, but it doesn't take away the fact that it's an excellent game

    The game has combined the best of other games. A good way to kill time. I wish more bosses like a wolf, really interesting. And dungeons in the cooperative.

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.

    If the microtransactions would be purely cosmetics, this would be easily a high 9 out 10 game. Because the gameplay-loop is inredibly addictive, the combat is fast and satisfying, yet has a huge level of tactical depth. The story and worldbuilding in interesting, the characters are charming and likeable. The exploreable world is huge and dense, there's always something to do, while the exploration is really rewarding. The leveling and loot system is layered and deep as well. There are tons of different activities (main and side missions, spiral abyss, domains, random missions, daily challenges etc.).

    Basically everything is present in this game to become one of the best games of the year. It would even have the potential to become a 10 out 10 title once the technical problems (such as the weird controls) are ironed out. It's basically a combination of Monster Hunter: World (in terms of social and leveling aspects) and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (in everything else), but more fun than those titles in many ways (or at least way more fun than MHW to me).

    But... the monetization system is extremely intrusive. Low quality mobile games have low quality and intrusive monetization systems, I get that. But what I want is this game to be treated accordingly to its quality, which means that its monetization system should be just as high quality, user-friendly and rewarding as the game itself. Otherwise, the game's gacha system will eventually undermine the game's value and artistic merits.

    This should stay as a free-to-play title probably, so there would be a constant influx of players and money so the developers could add in more content for years to come. But the free-to-play model should be changed from gacha-style to cosmetics-based. Cosmetics do not provide any gameplay advantage and do not lock out players from actually meaningful in-game content, but the gacha-system does.

    Other things should also be improved, like social aspects (co-op options), the leveling should not be that slow after level 30, and the Battle Pass should be made better as well in order to justify its $10 price tag. All in all, I'd give this game an 8 out of 10 for now.    … Expand

    If people get turned off by a Gacha system, that doesn't hinder your progression and don't see that this game is at it's base a really nice action RPG than you shouldn't value their opinion.

    And the game doesn't border you with pop ups and shoves banners in your face like other gacha games, so you should view this game more like a RPG that has an optional gacha element at the side.    … 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.
