Even the gacha aspect is just fine imo, but these god forsaken croissants just had to be implemented to ruin your experience past a certain level. If you want to play just the story then drop the game, you'll have a nice and enjoyable experience. However if you decide to take it to the next level, you'd better have your wallet nearby or be insanely patient. So much potential wasted just makes my blood boil, this is really infuriating. I hope nothing but the worst for this company devoted to develop well designed games behind the thickest pay walls I have ever seen.… Expand

    To put it simply, Genshin Impact is a cash grab by MiHoYo, the developer of this game.

    The game had so much potential with it’s gorgeous open world, beautiful soundtrack, one of the best anime-style graphics and character designs i have ever seen, but they blew it.

    The game had so much potential with it’s gorgeous open world, beautiful soundtrack, one of the best anime-style graphics and character designs i have ever seen, but they blew it. Sure, the game is fun if not amazing for the first 2 weeks, but sooner or later, you are going to hit a wall when it comes to progression, being able to play the game for only 15-20 minutes a day because of "Resin", the energy system of this game and also the reason for it’s downfall. If you’re playing the game as F2P, you’re pretty much screwed, since the only way to refill Resin in this game is to either wait a whole 16 hours for it to completely refill (As i said, it takes 15-20 min to use it all up BTW) or use primogems to instantly refill it, which can be bought with real life currency. This is what i meant when i said that you’re screwed as a F2P player. It doesnt help that MiHoYo doesn’t give a damn about it’s playerbase, saying that they will respond to player feedback by changing the Resin cap from 120 to 160. Now this might seem like a good thing, but it’s really not. It will still take 8 minutes to recharge 1 resin, whether the resin cap was 120 or 160. To put it more simply, the playerbase asked for more water but instead got a larger bowl.

    In conclusion, stay away from this game, at least until they overhaul the resin system, which i doubt will hapen.    … Expand

This game is beautiful, has a great combat system, interesting characters, abilities, the story is interesting and makes me want to learn more. Now i bet you're thinking, whats the problem? The problem is that once you have gone through this Open World Action RPGs storyline and even slightly before. This game ABRUPTLY stops you from any real progression. The majority of games you play that are open world action RPGs allow you to play and progress to your hearts content. But Genshin forcefully stops you from being able to make any real progression with a system called "resin". Aside from the fact that it has the oh so well known Scummy Gacha gambling system. It also prevents you from doing any important progression parts of the game, which all require Resin, to be able to collect the rewards. It stacks up to weeks upon weeks, just to be able to use a single character that you might have paid hundreds of dollars or more to get through the aforementioned Gacha system. This game has a lot of potential. But without some serious Overhauls to the games mid-endgame gatekeeping. Only allowing you to make any real progress for maybe 15 minutes a day. I would recommend you look elsewhere.… Expand

    The game has extreme potential but the company is greedy and refusing to change the predatory energy/stamina system called resin. Everything is hard-gated by it and it turns the game into a chore.
    With a few changes the game has extreme potential though.

    Genshin's devs are deaf and greddy. The resin system is insult and upping the cap to 160 is even more tone deaf and insulting.
    You don't give scarce pull money and add a 0.6% for a 5 stars.

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

    Now I have to say the existence of the resin system itself is not the problem, but the fact that it so aggressively hinder your progress. This game require a lot of grinding, either for character exp, character limit break material, gold (or Mora in this game), character talent up material, weapon upgrade material, artifact which themselves has RNG drop AND substats decided by RNG. Tons of resource which you need for EACH character you want to invest to (and you want at least 8 properly geared characters for the endgame), all require resin just to farm at all. With the pitiful amount of resin available you get at best 1 hour of playtime each day, which is not too bad for a mobile game, but Genshin impact clearly strive to be something more. There is a beautiful open-world in this game but the resin system discourage me for immersing in it, and I don't feel like spending on getting new character because I can't properly levelling them up anyway.
    I would probably stick around with this game hoping for eventual fix to the resin system, but definitely would recommend it to anyone, or spending anymore money on it.    … Expand

While also being a gacha with LOOTBOXES having the LOWEST DROP RATE for something good in the whole gacha genre. Being a gacha means that you must spend thousands upon thousands of dollars trying getting the character you want, but wait, there is more. To get the character's full potential you need to pull it from the gacha SIX TIMES, but not only that, you have to level it up to max level, right? Too bad the monsters always give 12-20 experience so you will need to kill thousands to get just ONE LEVEL. Oh, but wait, there is something called experience books that level up your character in no time, well, that would be perfect if you could have them because you run low on them everytime, AND, you also need Mora, a currency that is surprisingly used in ANY aspect of the game so you WILL also run low on Mora, hell, I'm surprised they don't charge you Mora for walking, but you what is worse? You can't farm those resources because you need resin to get them, yes, the stamina system that sets up artificial walls for you to stop playing the game. And you know what is worse? Apart from the whole system of stamina/energy by itself? You have to wait EIGHT MINUTES TO RECHARGE ONE POINT, IT'S CAPPED AT 120... But wait, in 1.1 they will increase the cap to 160 :)... TOO BAD THE RECHARGE BEING 8 MINUTES FOR 1 POINT OF RESIN MEANS THAT YOU, ME AND ALL PLAYERS THAT PLAY DAILY WILL NEVER REACH THE CAP, THIS ONLY SHOWS HOW BRAINDEAD THE DEVELOPERS ARE, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AT ALL, THEY EVEN NERFED REROLLING 3 TIMES, AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT YOU HAVE TO SPEND 20 TO EVEN 60 RESIN PER DUNGEON, AND LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT DUNGEONS, THEY OFFER YOU ENJOYMENT FOR 15 MINUTES UNTIL RESIN GOES TO ZERO, AND THERE ARE ALSO TWO DUNGEONS THAT OFFER YOU THE BEST EQUIPMENT BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO THEM ONCE A WEEK AND THEY REQUIRE 60 RESIN. Oh, but wait, you can refill resin with primogems!! WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD PAY 15 DOLLARS TO RECHARGE RESIN SO THAT THEY COULD PLAY LIKE 5 MORE MINUTES?
    The dungeons give you materials for your character "ascension" to make them stronger by leveling them up, leveling up their weapons or leveling up their skills, this wouldn't be a problem but LEVELING JUST ONE CHARACTER TO MAX STATS TAKES YOU 22 DAYS OF FULL FARM WAITING FOR RESIN REFILLS, GRINDING EXP BOOKS, MORA, ASCENSION MATERIALS, WEAPON MATERIALS, TALENT BOOKS MATERIALS... IT'S TOO MUCH GRIND FOR A GAME THAT SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING YOU TO GET NEW CHARACTERS.
    Hell, this game was good when it launched, you get to explore a new world full of things to do, places to explore, quests to complete... It was a game so good that I even felt bad for it being a free to play. Those were the good times in low Adventure Rank 1-30. But when the story and side quests end you face the reality, the game you have been playing is empty, there is no end-game content, and if it does have end game content it is extremely difficult to achieve because it requires you to have TWO FULL TEAMS OF FOUR MAX LEVELED CHARACTERS TO COMPLETE, DO THE MATH.
    The game has NO LOGIN SYSTEM, FOR LOGGING IN YOU GET NOTHING whereas other gacha games offer a free 1 pull a day. Did I mention the lowest rates?? But wait, you can buy a "Blessing of the welkin moon" for 5 dollars to receive 3k primogems along 30 days!! Too bad that gives you 90 primogems, and you need 160 for 1 pull.
    Also, coop sucks and the frames are capped at 60.
    In conclusion: this game will die sooner or later because not even whales can play and if they did and they removed resin, they will take a long time of no-life grinding anyway so... If you read this far and thought about playing this game, just don't, or just play it for the story quests and drop it.
    I'm not going to ever play a game of this company anymore and you should do the same.    … Expand

    Trash monitization and greedy Chinese developers kill any potential for this game.

    Worst gating i have ever seem, even for gachas standards. For the early start, it's pretty good, just to turn into a mess after ar35+. The stamina system in this game put other predatory gachas into shame. You have 15 minutes a day of meaningful play. It's ridiculous and i regret wasting money before i knew what a mess this game is after some time. Don't get invested if you intend to playWorst gating i have ever seem, even for gachas standards.

Sounds crazy, but that is one system put in by the developer, on purpose!
    That's even without mentioning one of the worst currency and pull rates in ALL of the gacha games.    … Expand

    Everything about this game is good except one thing, Resin problem! Everything you do needs a resin, and the amounts of items drop per resin needed are measly!!! And when you are farming artifacts, you are locked with RNG, main stats need RNG to get what you want and even the sub stats need an RNG too to get perfect stats.

There have been a lot of complaints about it, be it CN players or global players... They said that they have listened to our voice, but guess what? Instead of increasing the rate of resin regen, we get increased resin cap instead!? We asked for more water but given bigger cup?? How does that make sense? If we are not getting an increase in regen rate then bigger cap does not change anything. Previously we need to log in twice a day, burn resin in 10 minutes for trash items and log out, now they give us a QoL that is you only need to log in once a day, burn your resin in 10 mins and don't bother play the game again until the next day at the same day time. This is the problem of endgame players with slow content updates from developers, until they truly listened to players' voice, this review stands at 0 rating!… 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.
