    Dont know how they pulled it off, but it is one of the most entertaining gaming world. Characters are memorable, and visuals are on next level, intricate battle design makes the game fresh every time. Yeah monetizing factor is there, but you can ignore it and you will be fine. Lot more to come said by the developers, eagerly waiting for it

    Un juego increible, los modos de combate y sus graficos son muy buenos, no importa lo que digan cierta comunidad de ardidos diciendo que es una copia de BOTW

    Simply a breathtaking game! Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Stunning visuals, God tier OST, filled with emotions. People who play a game until they burn out "finish the game" and move on to the next title (people who are giving the game bad reviews) are seriously misinformed or very opinionated.

    Pros:

    Really nice looking adventure game with really good movement animations. Interesting quests, nice music. A lot of details and useful functions. Cons: Very clunky system, controls feels sluggish. The progression system is pretty much dice and roll to get 5 star, 4 star characters and weapons with super low drop rates. Its like lottery which is normally regulated by agencies    Pros:

    Cons:

    Very clunky system, controls feels sluggish. The progression system is pretty much dice and roll to get 5 star, 4 star characters and weapons with super low drop rates. Its like lottery which is normally regulated by agencies that regulate gambling. Login rewards. Like so many other mobile games, but definitely unsuited for this type of game.

    Progression are locked behind map exploration and mini quests like that of guild wars 2. But in guild wars 2 map exploration is purely optional. Very very slow movement speeds to make sure you can't progress quickly.

    Flying is exactly the same as guild wars 2, even the rate of decline and updraft mechanic, they work and look essentially the same. I can understand the game choosing a climb and glide gameplay, but the way gliding is done just tells you that its a straight up copy and it is done to restrict movement and slow game progression.

    Conclusion:

    Largely a copycat with different skin challenging the originals. Could have been top game if done properly. End game maybe better but it will take too long to get there. Something that's ok for casual relaxation. May change with game updates.    … Expand

    I hated this title with a fiery passion when the trailer was first released. I considered it to be a direct ripoff of my favorite game, Breath of the Wild.

I considered it to be a direct ripoff of my favorite game, Breath of the Wild. In late December my boyfriend told me to get it. I downloaded Genshin Impact on my phone and really enjoyed the first few hours. The game didn't feel like a ripoff to me, it felt like a love letter to the Zelda franchise. The OST is perfect, the graphics are stunning, and the character designs blow me away. The amount of work that goes into each character's outfit, idle animations, and lore is incredible.
    Despite that, Genshin still has big problems. I don't really mind the resin system but I understand it limits a lot of gameplay. The Gacha aspect turns away a lot of potential fans and can be detrimental for some individuals. That is to say, Gacha is not integral to the gameplay. The four or five free characters you get are really good if you build them right(Kaeya is a god). Another issue is the repetitive nature of the missions. I get tired of sweeping leaves for Albert and mopping up some kid's boat but you have to keep in mind that the game hasn't finished yet. It probably won't finish for years to come. Plus, I used to be an avid Red Dead Online player so I'm used to participating in repetitive missions and menial tasks for a sliver of cash.
    I feel like it is important to add that I have spent money on the Gacha system. I have spent $25 in total. $15 for Xiao on his last day and $10 in the months since for the Welkin Moon Blessing. I didn't get Xiao if you were wondering. It is really easy to drop $300 in 3 minutes for even the prospect of getting Diluc and hackers are a big problem. Mihoyo seems more invested in closeting leaks than fixing bigger issues.
    I really like Genshin Impact so my review is going to be very biased. Please take my words with a grain of salt. If you hate this title with as much passion as I did when it first released, just try it. If you still hate it, then that's ok.

    Kinda a nitpick: (1)I saw a review that said they paid full price for this game and complained about the Gacha system. Genshin is free. (2)A game cannot have the potential to be labeled as "AAA" because that term is defined as follows, "AAA is an informal classification used for video games produced and distributed by a mid-sized or major publisher..." By this definition, Genshin Impact is a AAA title. I just saw some misinformation and wanted to correct it. I doubt any person would actually believe the false info but I still wanted to clarify.    … Expand

    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

    I think it is wrong to be criticized for being a Chinese company.
    Many people blame the gacha system.
    Anyone who really enjoyed this game knows that the gacha system is not a necessity but a choice.

    There is no competitive element in this game, so you can enjoy it at your own pace.

    I repeat, it's completely FREE. It is the most polished and beautiful FREE game that doesn't sell you any advertising.

    The world is huge and beautiful, the content is solid and have tons of voice acting. The characters are very anime like. The main character story is considered well written and meticulously planned out. The story quests are interesting and worthwhile. I have wasted hours just exploring the world.

    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.
