    I've been playing this game from the beginning and lately the game has disappointed me.

    First of all we lack a lot of communication between the players and the developers. Whenever we ask for a QoL change we barely get anything we ask, and whenever we complain about a character because it isn't well thought out we don't even get a communication to at least acknowledge our complaints and    I've been playing this game from the beginning and lately the game has disappointed me.

    First of all we lack a lot of communication between the players and the developers. Whenever we ask for a QoL change we barely get anything we ask, and whenever we complain about a character because it isn't well thought out we don't even get a communication to at least acknowledge our complaints and explain why they would or wouldn't make our proposed changes.

    I don't want them to simply do everything we ask them to, but at least we should have a clear communication path between players and developers. They also seem to be out of touch with the game, releasing a character that has no real usage in the current game like Kokomi.

    Another thing I don't like is that most events give very bad rewards. Early in the game we had one even called Unreconciled Stars, that one in my opinion is the only even where I've felt like the rewards were actually good. For those of you who might now know, in that event you had to use resin to be able to attain you rewards, there were some complaints because you had to use too much resin and you wouldn't be able to farm bosses or domains for you to level up your characters, so Mihoyo thought that the best idea would be to simply not use resin but get almost 10 times less rewards than that event.

    And the last thing is the current anniversary. Not only do they not give good event rewards in general, but not even in their 1 year anniversary do they give much more than other events. I'd even go as far to say that they give worse rewards than in the Lantern Rite event, which was there for the chinese new year. So understandably people are mad.

    We have been complaining ever since they announced the rewards, we were even expecting that maybe they would announce something the 28th since it's the anniversary day. Nope not only did they say absolutely nothing, but they haven't even acknowledged our complaints at all. You can check their twitter account and their hoyolabs website and they just keep making posts about in game thing but nothing talking about the complaints.

    And it's not like they are not noticing, they are censoring their forum in china and their discord server. I think if they had only taken a bit of time to talk with the playerbase and show that they're there listening would have relieved many players and they would have been patient about it, but they are utterly ignoring everyone and waiting for the storm to calm down.

    And this kinda reminds me to wow in a way, but you know what mihoyo this game doesn't have a 10+ years of history where the first 8 were absolutely the best of the game and people just kept playing because they loved the game a lot and were expecting for things to twist. Your game is only 1 year old and not only that but it's a gacha game, people will obviosuly get very mad because they're spending money for the waifus and all but they aren't gonna be happy whenever you're treating them like **** and releasing crap content.    … Expand

    The process of falling took place gradually and gently, what is now can not be called a good game and even a little interesting.

    The game is good, especially considering the fact that it's Free, for a free game the game is absolutely fantastic, the world is massive, beautiful, and very interesting, the exploration is also really great, and the story while sometimes kinda lame, but some missions like Dainsleif's mission, and most of the missions in Inazuma's Archon quest are absolutely phenomenal and the story simplyThe game is good, especially considering the fact that it's Free, for a free game the game is absolutely fantastic, the world is massive, beautiful, and very interesting, the exploration is also really great, and the story while sometimes kinda lame, but some missions like Dainsleif's mission, and most of the missions in Inazuma's Archon quest are absolutely phenomenal and the story simply gets more and more interesting.
    The combat, while it isn't the best part, it's also pretty fun, some bosses are pretty cool, most are for the sake of upgrading loot and some of those are pretty cool too.

    But...
    MiHoyo does not give a single **** about their fanbase, the fact that this is a gacha game gives the game a massive black stain, most gacha games often reward their playerbase fairly via events, anniversaries, or just the overall game to keep that black stain from expanding, Genshin Impact in the other hand seems to voluntarily not only expand the damn stain, but add other big ass stains to the game as other problems arise, like, not buffing Amber, making dumbass decisions when making 5* characters, saying false promises such as the KFC glider, the absolutely terrible communication, the way MiHoyo treats their fans, the absolute travesty that is the resin system and the stat drop rates on domains, etc, the fact that the only goddamn way for MiHoyo to listen MIGHT be rant bombing the game is baffling.

    Such a good game totally wasted and almost straight up ruined because of their own creators that are killing the game.    … Expand

    It took too much time to complete game content when you are "unlucky" with gacha. The only answer for confortable and time-saving gaming experience is to offer money to Mihoyo. One important thing is that the company is quite greedy with their policy with gamers.

    The game is good, has a LOT OF PROBLEMS, NOT GONNA LIE. But the game is good, worth playing FOR FREE ONLY, but worth. Still not really reccomend this for anyone because Mihoyo do not care about me, do not care about you, they only care for our money and they dont deserve it. Dont put money on this game.

    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.
