    Gatcha system is one of the worst compared to others, but the game is free.

    CONS
    Game is too simplistic, easy, and travel can be slow.
    Why play this game, when I can play Trails of Mana, or Orochi Warriors? Basically, there is just better games out there.    … Expand

    It's a good Gatcha Game to play :
    +Interesting mecanics and characters gameplay
    +Lot of Boss, chests and puzzles
    +All 4 stars and 5 can be play and find a usefull on teams compositions

    But It's not perfect :
    -Gatcha with a 50% lost the pitty, the worst part for F2P players
    -Multiplayer are useless and not very usefull (only for help news players or rush boss)

    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.

    Потрясающая игра учитывая её концепт. Минус балл за все украденное. То есть позаимствованное... Да. Но зато как хорошо реализованное! Я уже забросил игру, но возможно скоро вернусь. Впрочем, мой ПК говорит, что я провел в ней хороших 300 часов. И я доволен. Это ли не показатель?Потрясающая игра учитывая её концепт. Минус балл за все украденное. То есть позаимствованное... Да.

    esse jogo é lixo, pay2win. nunca vi jogo mais lixo, se você não pega personagens 5 estrelas, você não fica forte, vai farmar a vida toda, e se não der sorte, não vai pegar nenhum personagens 5 estrelas, ou seja, vai ter que gastar dinheiro pra pegar os personagens op, sendo assim, pay2win, luck2win,
    conclusão: jogo lixo.

    This is an ok game with a terrible support system. I waited for over 2 months to recover a hacked account, got the account recovered, only to have it banned. The refunded purchases they made and I was asked to pay for the crazy amount of purchases that were refunded, and now my account is banned. I understand thebusiness model but it clearly shows that Mihoyo has zero c are for their player base.

    Not bad MMORPG,but have some problems : monotonous and boring gameplay, like: went a long way for the quest, talked go back to the nine lands, or take some item on the quest and again go back almost to the end of the location, and it's a little annoying.

    The world of MMOs gets bigger and bigger and this has good reasons namely discovering an unknown never ending world, fighting the toughest battles, being connected with people from the whole world and developing your own character whereas you identify yourself with him.

    A few years ago i heard about Genshin Impact but at the first glance i wasn't interested in it because as far as i understood it was a Single Player MMO or something what i have found weird.
    Last week it got my attention again and following the quote "The taste comes with eating" i gave it a shot.

    The intro starts with a brother and sister who have mighty personalities but an enemy appeared. Now you can choose to be the brother or the sister. Depends on your decision you will be separated from your family and then the journey begins.

    In your journey a cute and adorable mystic girl named Paimon accompany you in order to find and save your family. In the meantime you meet many peoples and stories what give Genshin Impact a recognizable face.

    The World is quite huge and detailed. I saw two cities and especially the second city which has real asian style was very beautiful and invites you to stay there even longer. The Flora and Fauna is also well integrated into the world whereas the weather conditions have a negative impact on your health.

    I like the anime-style and the characters i just met are detailed and are irreplaceable characters

    The soundtrack is very cool and contains an asian-flair that creates a deepening and serious atmosphere in Genshin Impact. The composer really knows what he is doing. The music still is in my mind what confirms the right choice of the soundtrack.

    Right now i'm in the prologue so i can't tell too much concerning the story. What i can tell is that the family that you try to save could become your enemy. The other thing is that the enemy who appeared in the intro seems to have a personal interest in you but it is not clear what she is really up to. These elements cause question marks and that's why following the story line is motivating.

    You are in a Four-Man-Squad and you fight the battle with one person whereas you can switch easily to the other warrior. There is basic-attack, special-attack and a very special-attack but there seems to be no counter-attack. Every warrior has a different style and how to attack. It is right that you can develop your own character very very far while you can unlock certain talents. Unfortunately your character cannot learn more new attacks.
    In connection to this kind of Development and Battle-System the Gacha-System takes a huge and important place in Genshin Impact. There are many characters that you can get in the Gacha-System whereas you can another characters through certain story-lines. But i have to admit that the fighting style of the characters in the Gacha-System is more interesting and refined than the other ones you can get in the story itself. The Gacha-System offers three banners which includes 4- and 5-Stars characters. I noticed that mainly the 5-Stars characters can cause a very-special-attack with an animation while i love the animation-attacks.

    Well, now we come to an issue with what many Genshin-Warriors have a problem. In order to get these 5-Stars characters you have to spend for example about 150-200 € in one banner. You have to draw a 10x-Ticket (in Genshin Impact it is called: Prayer) about 9-10 times to get a 5-Stars Character whereas there is a high chance that you get 4-Stars Characters. We are lucky that there is a pity-system or else it would be even worse. The problem is that you can draw a character you already have. In such cases you can get an exchange. You also get other kind of coins which you can spend at the Tradesman.
    My point of view is that it is reasonable to get the necessary money so that you can finance Genshin-Impact, new projects like "Zenless Zone Zero", the company, the employees and even the cleaning ladies. Paying at maximum 50-60 € per month would be very fair but not 150-180 €. To be honest, i just checked if there is some sort of a subscription-pass like in other MMO and yes there is one. You can get a pass for about 10,99 € and you can get a subscription for 4,99 € where u can get the necessary coins day for day. This pass for about 10 € is available at Adventurer-Level 20.
    This seems to be fair but nevertheless the users are very frustrated of the Gacha-System anyway. So seeing it in a long term i cannot tell if the pass is the solution of the whole Gacha-Issue.

    It would be useful to create a subscription-pass with a price of 10 to maximum 50-60 € per month and depending how much you pay you can get more coins for buying the tickets. So it would be great that if you pay 50-60 €, you get more than 12000 crystal coins for drawing the 10xTickets. I think this kind of concept could lower the frustration-grade of the Genshin-Warrior.

    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.

    Sh't game. Literally all the characters are pale or white, and the devs won't create a single character that is even slightly brown.
    Again with putting characters that are pretty much only good looking. The perfect game for weebs and creeps who can't bother to get a life.

    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.
