    Great Game with an awful Grind
    Genshin Impact is probably one of the best free to play games for console of all time, right up there with fortnite.. this time theres more of an action jrpg meets breath of the wild feel, you choose your starting twin, the other is kidnapped and its up to you to rescue them, throughout your journey youll meet new characters that the game gives you for free, and there Is the option to buy new random characters which is where the fee to play aspect comes in.. howver I found this to be highly optional.. here youl be running from checkpoint to checkpoint, unlocking chests for new gear and adventure xp.. something that is actually the most important aspect on genshin ompact.. exploration.. you need to explore to progress the game which is ultimately what made me stop playing 13 hours in… the grind here is absolutely abysmal… I loved progressing this weird story that was impossible to follow for me.. going through the dungeons, just to see where this world would take me next, what enemies and bosses it would throw at me.. and after a while the game starts flowing down, you go to this point now go explore to unlock the next chunk of the story.. so you do that, gaining adventure experience, leving up your charcters, finding new weapons, it was so addictive.. I didn’t mind the break.. im bac, lets continue this story.. heres 2 or a 3 quests.. now you need adventure level 15.. okay… I guess I can do that.. go out.. do the actually thoughtful side quests… a couple hrs of grinding.. ive maxed out my charcters, now I can accend them and level them up twice as much.. I finally get to get back to the main story.. and wall… 1.. I get 1 main mission until the game is like come back after you reach adventure level 25…. Twenty… five…
    I just grinded for hours to go up 3 levels.. and you want me to go up..10.. more.. levels… sure theres a level 18 main story sitting there… but whos to say I don’t grind 3 more hours for those 3 levels.. doing mindless, exhausting, map cleaning.. only to get one 15 minute long story mission again.. with nothing on the other side but climb 8 more levels for that level 25 mission.. I couldn’t.. I just couldn’t do it.. I tapped out.. that being said.. my ascension to level 15 was great.. genshin impact rally is a great game with a beautiful world to explore… and at the very least, youre going to get a great.. free… 12 hour game that sure oyull have to youtube the ending for unless oyu have literally nothing else to play and want to sink what looks like over 40 hours into opening chests and activating teleportion posts..
    Usually I can grind for a great story, but like I said earlier, it was hard for me to follow, and a story that didn’t make sense in the context of the games delivery.. you cant tell a story of urgency while telling me to go find wheat for a boy to feed ducks… same issue I had with the story in the witcher 3.. you feel like its important that you find and help this person, but hey go do this other stuff that in the grand scheme of the story isn’t impactful in any way… tell a different story…
    it’s a shame that such a large emphasis on grind took the wind out of the sales for me.. but I really can appreciate this game for how great of an experience it offers as a free to play..
    I give Genshin Impact

    It is a good pastime. I like to do my dailies commissions and farm some artifacts while hearing an podcast since the game doesn't really need the full awareness of the player but I really only play because of the rewards (primogens), it isn't funny at all to farm the same set for de 908th or to do the same stupid commission to protect a Ballon for the 67th time.

    The story of the game is just a miss or hit, some are good, others are not. One thing annoying is the amount of unnecessary dialogues this game has that doesn't add anything to the stories or the event and it is just an annoying thing between you and 60 free primogens that 80% of the time is just worth it 1/3 of a wish that you get a literally useless 3* weapon.

    Many people complain about the gatcha system and I agree it sucks sometimes. I had my bad moments but also has lucky moments. I like this system simply because I am 100% F2P and honestly I have all characters that I need to beat any challenge in this game and if I managed to get this without paying 1 cent, at least for me, this system worked just fine so I don't have any reason to complain. I think people have to know, they can't have all characters in the game. They need 2 top-tier DPS and pull for good supports only.

    The combat system is cool, many people say they don't like the Spiral Abyss, I like it. I pretty much always get 36* on every abyss reset, not because 50 primogens are a great reward (they are trash) but because I like the challenge that only floor 12 (and sometimes floor 11) bring to the game. I always wanted more content like Spiral Abyss or new floors but Mihoyo never brought it. It is a shame, so I can only play Spiral Abyss every 2 weeks.

    The exploration of this game is one of my favorite parts. I like to solve puzzles and explore the world and the maps of this game is really beautiful. It is a shame that the content ends so fast.

    The graphics of this game are ok, the models of the characters are kinda bad, they lack models of musculus type of characters. Actually, they pretty much only have 3 models of characters, child characters, teen characters and adult characters. All are slim.    … Expand

The exploration aspect and sense of discovery in this game is better than any other game I played - including games like The Witcher 3 and Zelda: BOTW. The combat system is also really well-done, especially when you're still figuring out how all of the elemental reactions work and how you can string your party's attacks together.
    Other than that the story is pretty good, graphics look nice, and the soundtrack is stellar. The characters are very likable as well, and their "character quests" are some of the best quests in the game.

    One glaring issue that the game does have, though, is that it's a gacha game. First of all, this means any new character is unlocked through lootboxes. If you're a free to play player, you will gradually unlock lootboxes through normal gameplay and be able to unlock more and more characters, but you'll never be able to unlock every single character you want. This, though, isn't really a problem since you'll have more than enough characters to use in your team - you just won't have all of them.

    The real issue with the gacha is that it will limit how much stronger you can make your characters per day (this includes simply levelling them up). In the beginning of your journey this won't be a problem since there's plenty of exploring & questing to do outside of just training your characters. Eventually though, you'll run out of content and training your party is the only thing you'll have left to do, but you can only actually do so for around 10 minutes a day. The game will try to keep you hooked with a constant stream of events that give decent rewards to strengthen your team a bit faster.

    I give this game a 9 for how incredible the main game is with its satisfying exploration and combat system, but be aware that once you have explored most of the world and completed all of the main & side quests, you won't have anything left to do but grind and the game will turn into a daily slog. I recommend you to play every big content update as they come out, and just ignore all of the grinding and min-maxing you can do - since it's a tedious daily grind.    … Expand

The side stories for the characters are awesome, it let's simp for the characters that you want, I think it would be great if you could marry one of the characters at the end of the game after finishing her/his route lol

    ========
    miHoYo created a vast beautiful world, I lost count how many times my jaw was dropping while exploring Liyue.

    *Sound: 8/10*
    ===========
    The OST is very good, every region has its own theme so it makes you feel in tune with the environment.

    *Character: 9/10*
    ==============
    I love the characters. Even though each type has its own mechanics mastering them and building them is part of the enjoyment so you will always have fun. Top tier waifus:
    Lisa (Ara, Ara…)
    Mona (Perfect buns)
    Noelle (Naughty of closet + the girl that you end up marrying one day)
    Barbara (Ufff... + the girl that you end up marrying one day)
    Ningguang (Professional model legs)

    *Enjoyment: 9/10*
    ===============
    Clearing domains with your build up character is really satisfying. I only wish the bosses that you find in the outside world would've being related to the story instead of just being "there" waiting to be beaten. The lack of toxic players amazes me, I've never encounter one and mostly all of them are like :3

    Really nice and wholesome experiences in co-op. It makes me wonder what is the game demographics.

    *Overall: 7*
    ===========
    This is a great game, which unfortunately its censorship and gacha mechanics ruin it. I wouldn't mind paying 40 or 50 box for this game, it deserves it, but seeing people paying from 5k to 10k to get the characters that they want… that's just insane! No game is worth that money no matter how beautiful its world is or how great its characters are.
    If you go for the F2P route you won’t be disappointed, the game will be more challenging but it will feel more rewarding. Just please bear in mind that it might take up to a year to get the characters that you want because you will have to grind and grind hard.    … Expand

    Вы убьёте игру для других спустя первый же год. Будет ситуация как с WarCraft 3 Reforged, на который да, забили разрабы, но когда забили игроки забили вообще все, сократили штат разработчиков и почти прекратили поддержку игры. Вам-то пофиг, вы играть не будете, но не будьте эгоистами, дайте возможность играть тем, кому нравятся персонажи, кому нравится мир и принимают его несмотря на то, что мало примогемов завезли. Я очень люблю своих вайфу, только недавно собрал пачку мечты (Эола, Джинн, Райдэн, Мона (все с0 и без легендарных пушек), но жаловаться на урон просто грех) и я не хочу лишаться возможности играть из-за кучки зажравшихся остолопов. В вас и так весь год вливали примогемы тоннами, с квестов, с ежедневок, с ачивок, бездны и постоянных ивентов (блин, да чтоб во всех играх так часто вводили какие-нибудь новые прикольные ивенты (да, некоторые весьма простые, по типу убийства пачки врагов, но опять же, игроки разные и пытаются угодить многим, кому-то сложно, кому-то легко (мне вот рыбалка даётся тяжело, не ною же). И ко всему этому весьма скромный ценник на благословение (на треть дешевле месячной подписки WoW) (боже, игроки в 2021 году ещё не привыкли к тому, что за всё нужно платить, либо довольствоваться меньшим чем хочется).

    В качестве последнего слова. Ребят, не будьте эгоистами, вы всё равно удалите игру, если считаете, что разрабы заслужили такую оценку. Но зачем обрушивать её ещё сильнее? Уйдите спокойно, хотя бы ради тех людей, с которыми вам доводилось в геншин играть и чтобы они могли продолжить радоваться этой игре. Вам же счастливого пути (только при условии, что вы ставите адекватную оценку именно игре, а не действиям разработчиков).    … Expand

It has a coop option but its basically useless cause there is no content for it and which is its just domains which you can do solo. Farming for characters is not worth cause it takes A LOT of time to get something decent for one. For someone defending the character looks remember they are forced to censor it cause the CCP. Eventually the game will die if they continue senseless censoring and there will be better games than genshin in the making. One thing I forgot to mention is their wishing system which is trash and you need it for pulling new char or weapons. The chance of getting it is so low you might as well play a better gacha game like FFBE or Punishing Gray Raven which both reward you more than this piece of trash game. ಠ╭╮ಠ… Expand

    However, when we seriously evaluate it as a masterpiece, we will find a lot of loopholes-lack of later gameplay, too short plot, serious homogeneity of monsters, etc. These are fatal shortcomings for a normal game. For genshin impact, they are also important shortcomings, but they are not fatal. why? Because this is a long-term update game with a life cycle of several years. For this reason, although the current experience in the later stage of the game is relatively poor, I will not completely deny this game, but again, I would not consider this to be a good game.

    What is the problem. Just because it is gacha? Well then. Nice gacha. Firta I ever encontered and as I said. Got me by the balls. The only sadness is lack of true end game content but it is a free to play game. And limited by resins. So we can always play something else. Nice story though. Limitless potential.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. doesn't feel p2w, needs at least higher rendering distance, problem is stamina(sprinting, swimming, climbing, gliding and same for all characters, you need to pick collectibles in order to increase total amount of stamina instead of getting some by leveling up a character, which i'd prefer for ease of movement without teleporting all the time), gliding is quite slow Collapse… Expand

    You can play it on PlayStation, PC, android and iOS, with cross-platform save. And it's free and spending money is not at all necessary to finish all quests in the game. There are many ways to get a 5 star character/weapon without paying a penny. Plus they are constantly updating the game with cool events, features and regions.

Speaking of resin system, if you finish all your resins and you don't have any fragile resin, you can always come back on next day and grind again, this game is not meant to be played all day long. If you feel bored, you can just stop playing it for few months until they release a new region or feature.… Expand

    This game is amazing. There are no paywalls to it even though people say it does on here (assuming they havent played it for longer than 5 days lmao). The gacha is alright for characters, you are never forced to spend to get a character because you can beat the game without spending money or using any in-game currency (primogems, used for getting characters). The story is beautiful and theThis game is amazing. There are no paywalls to it even though people say it does on here (assuming they havent played it for longer than 5 days lmao). The gacha is alright for characters, you are never forced to spend to get a character because you can beat the game without spending money or using any in-game currency (primogems, used for getting characters). The story is beautiful and the lore is very thought-out and in depth. The story in this game isn't finished as it updates every 6 weeks with new regions, places, bosses, characters, events, minigames,... There is definitely filler updates but releasing a new region every 6 weeks is impossible to do so i think those filler updates are quite necessary for the developers + they're pretty fun too even though they aren't big updates. They know how to keep players busy but don't force anything onto you, you don't HAVE to do anything rather everything is optional, even world level (which makes the enemies stronger inside your world) requires the players to manually activate it and is reversable. Brilliant game, brilliant storyline, beautiful graphics and regions and free too. 10/10, haven't had another game that could keep me interested and not get boring for me.… 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.
