    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

    I don't care. This game is clearly a rip-off of Zelda BOTW. They stole everything, from animation style to the game mechanism. Now I even know that they also stole from Final Fantasy as well.

    So no one is saying the game itself is bad. People talking about the Gacha and Gambling System.
    Yes, it is not that good, if you never played such game (like i say, most japanese MMOs, all korean MMOs, and almost every single mobile games). In fact compared to other mobil games ( just remember, its in fact a mobil game with cross play function), the small pitty for 90 draws, where you get
    So no one is saying the game itself is bad. People talking about the Gacha and Gambling System.
    Yes, it is not that good, if you never played such game (like i say, most japanese MMOs, all korean MMOs, and almost every single mobile games). In fact compared to other mobil games ( just remember, its in fact a mobil game with cross play function), the small pitty for 90 draws, where you get a random 5 star garantieed, and according to the survy, most people will reach this pitty between 70-80th draw.

    Alright even 70-80 sounds terrible right? that means you need about 200 bucks for a random 5 star (50% to be the pick up one), or 400 bucks for the pick up one if you had bad luck. But lets think about the free crystals you can get. Approximatly you get about 6000 crystals each version, and genshin updates every 40 days (its basically 2 banners, each for 20 days). So without paying anything, you get 6k crystals every 40 days as long as you just spend about 10min each day for dailies, and doing all campains ( either 4-7 hours for the whole champain, or about 30min everyday during champain). In addition to it, you get about 10k crystals each major area, where you have 3 currently plus 1 time limited and only gives about 2k. So lets say, join the game play the first month and paying nothing will give you about 36k crystals, which is more than 220 draws. If you willing to pay a little bit for it, get the monthly subscription which costs 5 bucks every 30 days, grant you 100 crystal every day and 300 genesis crystal (the currency where you can only get buy paying real money, used to exchange 1:1 to crystal or buy some packages/skin from cash shop), even more you can get a battle pass for each version, which costs you extra 10 bucks and gives you 5 draws (800 crystal) for time limited banner and 5 for normal as well as 680 crystals and tons of resources. So paying about 15 bucks you can get almost a pitty every month considering the 5 monthly free draws from shop and most people get thier pitty between 70-80.

    So what do you get from gacha? Either Powerful and/or cute/sexy waifus. But the game is completely playable even you dont draw a single charactor (there are people doing this way as challenge), you just need some player skills and spend a bit more time when fighting boss.

    And those complaining about "Pay to play daily", they meaning the rensin system, oh yes, you get about 180 rensin regen for each day, those daily activities costs you either 20 or 40 each time when you want to claim the prize. And you can spend up to 900 crystals every day for 300 extra rensin, if you whale it, bringing you tons of more trash relics and about 300 extra exp, which means almost nothing if you plan to play long with it (since the game is softly capped after lv55, and even not spending a single coin on it, you get at least 50 moons from main quests result in 3k extra rensin, and you can hit lv55 within 3 month buy just doing the daily and use your daily 180 rensin). So in some way, it is pay to play long, but even if you whale, you cant play it the whole day.

    And just to make it sure, its neither an MMO or a Diablo-Like game, which keeps you on endlessly. Even those 3As, which also turn out to have nothing to do for the most people after the first 100 - 150 hour game play. As its an PvE game without super hard dungeons, its just fine to not have all the charactors. ( i mean, you want to play an awesome game, but dont want to pay for it, and you want to have everything? games are not charity i mean. f2p means you have to gave up some game experience)

    okay, i noticed if you go on the bad reviews, all of them talk about the resin wall. yeah sometimes it can be a problem, but it replenishes over time so you may have to wait a few hours between playing. also, you can get fragile resin for free just by playing, so you can replenish it yourself. my only advice is to not rush through the game, then complain that there’s nothing to do. youokay, i noticed if you go on the bad reviews, all of them talk about the resin wall. yeah sometimes it can be a problem, but it replenishes over time so you may have to wait a few hours between playing. also, you can get fragile resin for free just by playing, so you can replenish it yourself. my only advice is to not rush through the game, then complain that there’s nothing to do. you don’t need any fancy character’s to win the game and if you want a character, just save up wishes. you don’t have to pay to unlock everything. before anyone asks, i’m AR 41 Expand

    The world graphics are a horrible rip-off of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the climbing and swimming mechanics also being the same. Not enough people realize this is a cheap beg for cash. Characters are boring, most are there for fan service. A terrible game that you should DEFINITELY not play.

    Very nice game since 1.4 update. Many things are fixed and the game is getting better. Many people are complaining about wish system but who cares, the game is brilliant. I spend some money for the Battlepass and welkin moon for primogems boost and I still don't find this game as a money bank.

    Poor optimization, not a low-end device friendly , when you play on controller and use something like square for example i use square for normal attacks and here`s the bad part: it holds the square by itself like it`s charging attack by itself and this is a horrible thing to experience.

    i played this game for almost 9 months (since the beta or alpha idk the name) and still they didn`t fix it.

    they didn`t add controller support for mobile devices yet (i played on android and there was no controller support - idk about iOS) i consider it like developer laziness.

    they don`t improve their optimization even it`s while now since the game released.

    Note: my Android device is Xiaomi MI 9 SE and my laptop specs are:
    I7 4600U
    10 GB RAM DDR3
    246 GB SSD
    INTEL HD 4400

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. IN my humble opinion from a 34 y.o. gamer. Who started playing in the master system. With sonic wireless... I can't let pass that this game took me by the ba..(heart)s . Nice world. Extensive gameplay. Plenty. Of exploring. Itens that took me10 months to find. And may be more hidden feom my very eyes.

    I dont understand why so bad gamer rating. This game costs zero dollars and offers virtually." 5 years of content."
    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. But players twnd to play for a zelda game abd a not so cheap weak console to be able to play it... I dont understand. Easier is bad. Richier and hard to be able to play is best. You really are first worlders with lotsa munny. I AM NOT. I CANT BUY A SWITCH SO... I DEFEND WHAT I HAVE

    Yes, the Gatcha and stamina mechanics are there, but I don't get why people are scoring this game only based on their exsistance, and not on how they are implemented. You can aquire new characters with better skills than others with the Gatcha system, but it's not the only way of getting them (some are currently only obtainable through the Gatcha but the game is only 2 months old and already there are have been about 2-3 events every month where you can easily get those, and the amount of characters only obtainable through Gatcha decreases.).
    The stamina system doesn't prevent you from doing much of anything in a single day, it prevents you from repeating the same mission 10 times a day to get the best loot, preventing balancing problems. Every other quest which you get either daily, with a certain level or just by exploring the world do not require this stamina.
    I don't get why people act like this is just another scam gatcha game. There's clearly a lot of effort put into this game and the Gatcha rules are clearly stated, and seem to actually behave as stated.

    I reached the endgame and have to say, that I cant reccomend this game.
    The endgame is pure pay to win. The endgame content is boring and the gacha system is unfair.

    The only good part of the game is the Open World Content.
    But once you have completed the Open World Content there awaits you pure greed programmed and designed as a game.

    I am at adventure rank 53 around 100 200 hours. I am going to explain the previous reviews.

    First, the Zhongli stuff that’s old news about people complaining that a rare character was “weak” even though he was very strong. BUT mihoyo listened and gave him a buff in the next patch now he is an amazing character. Ignore everything about Zhongli Next wishing I again have spent $21 CAD

    Next wishing I again have spent $21 CAD and have got 7 5* which are rare characters/weapons. Paying in my mind is stupid. You have a .6% chance for a 5* (guaranteed at 90 pulls) and 7% for a 4* (guaranteed after 10 pulls) and the rest is 3*. You can make a beast team with them no matter what you get with the satisfaction you get from the quick cinematic gameplay. Nothing is a bad thing even in late games I am using 3* which some are overpowered. The currency to buy the wishes are primogems which can be bought or play the game and get a steady stream of a few wishes a day. If u want a massive wishing sim find something else this gives u a heavy amount but not a maaaasive amount. The 5* just are “fancy ” they want you to get a feeling of excitement when you get one not meh another one which would happen if you get too many. They just want you to lay the game for a tiny bit I run this game for 2 hours at most 20-30 for all the basic stuff.

    The graphics and story is amazing even side quests build so much lore and excitement (also gives many rewards). Drop in for the story and you will be Amazed and you got a solid 100 hours not much grinding.

    The community is super helpful and kind I have found so many people who want to help people out and they made me into that kinda person. There are always a tiny bit of junky people but the kind people weight them out. If you need anything people will drop everything and help if they are playing.

    A few downsides are the very limited security which there are some I. Development but there are so many people it’s very rare to be hacked. I wish it would be added sooner to protect me and others but they are trying to keep us having content and be protected.

    Resin system this is the game's stamina you need this for grinding your character stronger like getting mats and getting rewards from bosses. You do not need it for the story or just beating the boss for fun and there is so much other stuff to do. Mihoyo seems to be hearing us and they just reduced the 3 weekly bosses cost in half for 3 of them (max cap 160 used to cost 60 now 30) there are 3 now 4 which reduces so much cost which gives more for grinding for gear(artifacts ) and boss mats. They give you items that restore resin which if u save until at 45 to get the best gear you can get about 2400 resin at least which is a lot if you save you will be swimming in it and be able to get the best gear more efficiently and get guaranteed 5* artifacts which give better and more stats. If you save you will be fine.

    It’s cross progression(pc and mobile via account) and plays with all systems. There is 4 player co op the experience is based on YOUR wifi, not your buds it makes it easy for a strong person to help you win a hard fight. The co-op is limited to servers (America,EU,Asia and SAR) you can have different accounts but your na game can’t have cross progression on EU but you don’t need a VPN or anything to make a EU ac in NA. The sad thing is you can’t play with EU and NA.

    Code to get you started GENSHINGIFTS enjoy genshin Impact it’s worth it

    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..

    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.
