    I haven't played it for two years because it's a Chinese game.
    But now the perception of MIHOYO has completely changed.
    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.
    And if you enjoy the game, you get many opportunities to play Gacha for free.
    There is no competitive element in this game, so you can enjoy it at your own pace.
    With gacha provided for free, the game can clear all the content.
    If you play gacha, it's because you've developed a love for this game.    … Expand

    I am playing Genshin Impact since the version 1.3 and i have enjoyed it from the beginning. The beginning is a bit tuff cause a the Level barriers between the Archon-/Storyquests. In the older versions of the game this was a big issue. But as it is now the Map is almost four times the size of the original map if not even bigger. For today there is no problem at all to reach the required Levels to get to the next Archonquest.

    Many people will see the Gacha feature of Genshin as a big Issue, but in my oppinion it is just a way to slow down the pace of getting new characters. Nowadays i really like it to farm for the new Characters.

    The Map additions that came in the last three years are just great. Almost from every climate zone in the world there is a region for. Not only forest and mountains, also Ice hills, desert, cliffsregion, jungle and many more beautiful looking locations excist in this game.

    This game ist perfect for everyone that likes a great MMORPG with an animestyle where they have to grind to get forward in the story and build their character    … Expand

    As it is a mostly single-player game and does not have a competitive mode, the gacha system ends up being very inviting to f2p players. Spending money is optional and not required to complete game content.

    Just hit Adventure Level 40 today as a F2P player and while there is grind here, the game feels very refreshing. I love aesthetics and gameplay. I haven't been able to progress past abyss level 9, probably if I wished (play some gatcha) I would be able to but for now, I haven't felt the need to.

    For a F2P game, this is one of the best I have ever played. Not all is good though. The resing system (the timer) has issues and needs to be evaluated. There is not much content for the endgame portion, once you hit Adventure Level 35 you can feel there is a wall that you won't be able to surpass even if you spend some money in terms of content. The game is only one-month-old so I think this won't be an issue in the long run and I expect this to be solved with future updates. I'm more worried about the problems with the resin system, which can fixed easily, but I don't know if Mihoyo is willing to. They already got their money back, what if they just want to keep making money the same way they are making it right now? I'm not very hopeful about changes to the resing system and this could destroy the game in the short run. For now, it is good enough.    … Expand

    However, if you have the self-control to view this game as a fun way to spend some time to explore the world, get some items/characters with your free rolls, and progress a decent anime-ish story, then you'll really enjoy this game. The world is fun to explore. The combat is pretty simple but enjoyable enough.

    But here's the key: do NOT view this as your new, long-term-forever game in which you will reach maximum possible power with all of the unlocks. That's where the **** gacha / resin system comes in. Play through the story, use your free wishes, level a few characters, open up the map......then stop! It's okay to stop! They will probably release more content down the road that you will be able to enjoy, then stop again. Just because they put MOAR POWER in the game doesn't mean you have to unlock all of it (and spend all the money) to enjoy it. Play this game until it feels like you are no longer enjoying it or can't make reasonable progression, then take a break until they release more conntent.

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

Good story for the "first chapter". Good quests. Good graphics for the world that is interactive enough to give you goosebumps cause I have seen no free games that is consists of so much game mechanics and visuals that is not only the texture. Like the game itself took me as free player month just like snap and I still want to explore Teivat, gather resources, enjoy the view and things realized in the world.

    The wind, the sky, the clouds... everything is alive and feels so forgotten in the game world of the games.

    But as all free gacha games on start it lacks of content especially when you rush things and in the higher AR levels end you meet the chaos of disorganization on how to reward people, how to give them something for their effort and how much energy they need to feel satisfied. I clearly do not understand who decision was to make it 8 mins for 1 energy that it takes 16 hours to replenish fully but that is the rock in the people courtyard. Cause you don't feel that you did something in a day even on higher AR levels. That's why people are in panic to not cap it cause then they waste their efforts. 6 minutes is like enough for normal human to sleep, wake up, see he have energy, waste it, gone to work, come home see he has like good amount of it after work and play for more activities.

    IMHO People are bombing the game with negative cause of their vagaries and that they want it to be completely free, give everything to them here and now like the entitled kids do. I see the review bombing has become from the "tool of justice" to the "tool of fulfillment of your own wishes". That's not cool to do with the games by describing your own vagaries.

    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.
