    Эта игра ужасна. Единственный ее положителньый момент это хороший визуал.
    Минусов просто гора. Инфантильный, пустой и растянутый сюжет. Нет, не второстепенный, основной. Я прошел половину сюжета Сумеру и это все еще нелепая чушь.
    Комьюнити безбожно инфантильное и по тому как они пытаются всем доказать качество этой игры, создается ощущение что они никогда не играли в нормальные игры.    Эта игра ужасна. Единственный ее положителньый момент это хороший визуал.

    Одна из худших моделей монетизации через gacha. Дело не в том что вы получаете персонажей рандомно, а в том что получение ресурсов вне доната максимально душное.
    Награда не соответствует затраченному времени очень мягко говоря. Сам по себе геймплей крайне унылый.
    Эндгеймового контента просто нет. Что-то похожее на него это 3 уровня арены раз в 20 дней. Для их прохождения нужно вкачать 8 персонажей (а еще, я уверен абсолютно случайно каждые 20 дней эффекты подстраиваются под текущего персонажа из баннера). Награда за этот контент копеечная. Стоит того только если вы стабильно по каким-то причинам играете в это и у вас уже есть 8 подходящих персонажей.

    В этой игре кроме визуала нет ни одного положительного момента если вы старше 13 лет и ваш iq выше 80.    … 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

In the end, if you like to look at flashy graphic and anime girl then this is for you, the gameplay is just water down version of Zelda, Nier, etc. Some people said it does not pay to win, just you wait and see, I played their game before so I know where is this game gonna heading.… Expand

    Genshin Impact is an unfinished cash grab, a mobile game.
    The shadows render distance seems low and take se out of the game. (We are in the days of ray traced shadows, please at least make your shadows have higher render distance)
    locked to 60 FPS, I have a 144 Hz screen I can't see a reason why game should be locked to 60.

    The game was great, but the gacha was bad and the drop rate was low. But after today's when prices have increased in many regions of the world, as well as in regions with low wages. Sorry, but raising the prices for donation by 20% is too much. Some people live off that kind of money.

    Update:
    The game has been out for a while and while I was ok continuing with it fr a bit, I'm simly done. Everything is a grind, everything is designed to suck up as much money as possible, and the game does not respect your time. Things have gotten lazier and greedier, and while the game has immense promise, every system in it hampers your enjoyment for that extra dollar (or 1000).    Update:

    The resin system is a paywall that they don't make obvious until 100+ hours in. I was having a blast until the game basically told me to fms because I didn't have enough resin. But fear not.. you can BUY resin with real money! Ridiculous.

    The games simply not worth playing. Watch story online or something.    … Expand

    A whopping 40% price increase on some regions just because they can't be bothered with restricting purchases within regions. After that, any and all hope that this game wouldn't end up just as a cash grab gacha went out the window.

    This is not only pay to win game, but also a pay to exploration and puzzles solving game. If you spent thousands of money and got Keqing, you would find that the exploration and puzzle become boring and easy. However if you don't, you even can't solve some puzzles.

The graphics and story are interesting but ultimately end up extremely disappointing at the end.
    1. The story ends abruptly, and there are a TOTAL of about 40 quests in game. The quests are a large part of the in game currency and character experience, when you finish them, that stops completely. You get maybe 13 character experience per monster kill, which is about 1/1000 of the experience you got before.
    2. After you finish the story, there is very little to do. 4 daily quests, and you can do 3 to 6 "stamina" related activities.
    3. The stamina system is by far the worst and most punishing aspect of this game. It takes 18 hours to refill, and at the current "end game" you can't even level your characters or equipment once with 1 day. You'll more than likely need 3-4 days of stamina related activities to advance one aspect of your setup.
    5. This stamina system basically forces you to stop playing after 20 minutes, because you can't receive anything for doing any activity.
    6. The game's co-op in this game is pointless and it punishes you for even attempting it. All bosses are easily solo'd, and if you go to a friends world, you do not receive rewards for opening chests, doing timed challenges, or helping them in any way outside of stamina activities. This is done to ensure that people do not progress quickly because you run out of experience gaining activities very quickly.

    This all leads to no progression, which is the point of this type of game. There is literally nothing to do after you finish the 40 quests the game has given you. You could build a 2nd team of characters, but with no quests to provide you with currency and experience items for your character and gear, it turns into a grind that is extremely unappealing. Taking weeks to meet any one goal.

    I do not recommend this game in its current state, and if you do play, do NOT invest money in it.    … Expand

    Is the game p2w? No, it's not. You can realistically complete the game without dropping a dime.

    However: 1. The game has a predatory gacha system. 5* characters and weapons have a .6% drop rate. This is also the only way to obtain 5* weapons. On top of this there are timelocked banners, and you need 6 additional duplicates of characters to actually max them out. 2. The game has    Is the game p2w? No, it's not.

    2. The game has numerous timegated mechanics such as resin, processing, etc.
    3. The game also has a battlepass system, with some missions literally impossible to finish without using the gacha currency.
    4. The exploration isn't nearly as interesting after an hour or so of exploring. The "puzzles" are repetitive, the scenery is repetitive (god I hope you love the color green), and the chest rewards are all at best mediocre.
    5. You cannot rebind controls.
    6. You can't skip cutscenes, and are forced to click through dialogue. Even if you like the story you would have to do this for mundane sidequests as well.
    7. Going from A to B without waypoints is excruciatingly slow, as is climbing.
    8. You're letting a Chinese company put a kernal level anticheat on your computer.

    So if you want to try it and form your own opinions go ahead. Just be aware of the technical and predatory issues that the game is abound with.    … Expand

Donut is the main problem of this game. At the beginning it is not so noticeable, but closer to the 35-40 rank of adventures, hell begins, consisting of grind and / or donation. The passage of the twisted abyss of level 7 is impossible without successful characters or 40 adventure rank, which is unrealistically boring to grid because of the lack of content. Best I could achieve: 30 seconds lag to 3 stars in the first room on the 7th floor. The only way to get at least something after the 35 adventure rank is to donate. The original resin is recovered very slowly. After a complete exploration of the world and the completion of all world quests, there is simply nothing to improve weapons and artifacts with. In dungeons, solid debris falls, which is not enough to improve good artifacts. Have you decided to collect crystals and improve your weapons? It was not so! They are restored every 3 days and there are about 40 of them. You can collect more, but it will take too much time. Many people will think that I am some kind of casual, but no. I only want the game to become more difficult and interesting. Now there is no challenge in it other than: "Grind for the sake of grind." All dungeons are passed by 1-2 characters even without taking damage, monsters in the world do not pose any danger, and the cooldown of the terror of the storm and the lupus is 1 week, which makes them impossible to farm. Farming common bosses (elite monsters) is not fun. All the drops that I fell from them consisted of a wreath for resistance to a certain element and a heap of blue trash. And of course, an item for raising a character, which is useful only at rank 40, to which it is very boring to swing.… Expand

    Everything! There is nothing else good in this game. I have spent several years in this game. I've been playing since release. I always buy the battle pass, the moon. I studied all my characters to make the most effective teams...
    And what do I have? Until now, the game constantly humiliates me. I spend a lot of time, effort and even money to achieve the result - the passage of the abyss for 36 stars. Even though I have a lot of 5-star characters, a lot of legendary weapons - going through the abyss still causes a lot of pain.

    The plot deserves special mention. If initially it was interesting, now it has become boring and stretched. Instead of constantly going to the goal (search for a sister), we are engaged in some kind of garbage: they intervened there, changed something there, etc. And this did not make us closer to the sister. All the local problems that we solve do not affect our goal in any way.

    The community of this game also deserves a special mention. This is a disgusting, toxic and stupid community. They point blank do not see the obvious shortcomings of the game (there is no CD reset on restart, etc.). They try to give advice without understanding the specifics. The game has artifacts that can be obtained, but each player will have a unique one in terms of performance. No two artifacts are exactly the same. This fact is simply ignored by these advisers.

    Don't play it. Don't repeat my mistake. Save time, money and effort.    … 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]

    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.
