Once you've done those two things, which you can do in the span of a week of after-work play, Mihoyo's idea of endgame amounts to a daily 20-30 minute grind, limited by a horrible gacha-game stamina/energy system (called Resin System in GI) aimed at incentivising you to pay money to reduce the necessary grind OR buy more stamina to enable the grind. Even among gacha games, which this is to it's core, it's bad. Never before have I played a gacha game with an stamina/energy system this restricting, and I've played my fair share of them, including the notorious F/GO.

    Not only is the energy/stamina system one of the worst, if not THE worst, among it's peers, it also boasts some of the all-time worst rates for the gacha component. A laughable 0.6% chance to get a 5* unit. Again, F/GO is infamous for it's horrible rate of 5* characters and that game has nearly TWICE the chance of getting one such character at a 1% rate.

    Once the honeymoon phase wears of (the 8-10 out of 10 game score phase) so do the rewards for actually playing the game. You simply don't get any premium currency anymore. Playing normally, no events, no login rewards, you get 1/3 of a summon each day. To get a guaranteed 4* (not 5*!) you need 10 of those summons.
    To get a guaranteed 5* you need 90.

    "But hold on, what about the events!" I hear you say. "Surely the events make up for the lack of daily things to do!" No. The event rewards are pathetically low. The gameplay of the events is boring and repetitive. And the events cost stamina/resin/energy. So if you want all the rewards from the events you need to use your resin, which means you can't do anything else that day!

    Co-Op is underwhelming at best and non-existent at worst. I can't explore with my friends because I can't open chests or do side-quests while in their world. Sure, I can do the boring and repetitive events with them, which makes them somewhat more bearable, but that shouldn't be the point of playing with friends. Co-Op feels like it was only shoehorned in at the last second because people assumed it was going to be in and Mihoyo didn't want to deny it in fear of damaging their marketing campaign.

    The core game itself is fun and I'd like to play more of it, preferably with my friends. The game activally gates me from doing the former and isn't build to do the latter. It's made to look nice, shiny, inviting, wholesome and fun, but underneath the hood it tries it's very damndest to get you addicted so you spend your money for towards its predatory practice.    … Expand

    Welcome to Gacha Impact: Breath of the Resin.

    Honestly, this game isn't bad at first, I was really impressed by the amount of quality contents put into this game (story, graphics, soundtracks, characters..) However, all of them were ruined by the greedy and predatory business practices of this game. First of all, the gacha mechanic. It is absolutely horrible because of the fact that    Welcome to Gacha Impact: Breath of the Resin.

    Honestly, this game isn't bad at first, I was really impressed by the amount of quality contents put into this game (story, graphics, soundtracks, characters..) However, all of them were ruined by the greedy and predatory business practices of this game.

    First of all, the gacha mechanic. It is absolutely horrible because of the fact that spending 100 $ can't even get you a 5 stars character/weapon unless you are very very lucky. The percentage of pulling a 5 stars character in this game is 0.6 %, the absolute worst out of all the mobile games I have ever played for 5 years. If you somehow decide to play this game, please stay away from the gacha because all it does is destroying your wallet.

    Secondly, the resin/energy system. Once you hit Adventurer Level 35, all you'll do in this game everyday is spending 10 minutes beating the same boring dungeons/bosses and collect some materials, which aren't even enough to upgrade your characters. And if you want to play more, you have to spend money to buy more resin/energy because all they want is forcing you to cough up some money one way or another. What kind of game forces players to pay for their play time ? Is this some kind of arcade game now !?

    Finally, the rewards you get from playing this game. Unlike other F2P games that showers you with premium currencies and materials to get new characters or upgrade them (Fate/Grand Order, Arksknight, Azur Lane..) this game does the opposite by giving you not even the bare minimum. There's no daily log in rewards like other mobile games, events and achievements rewards are a joke because at most you'll get is 200 gems and you need 1600 gems to just do 10 rolls in the gacha. Open world exploration is not even worth doing because even after running around the large map opening chests, you get worthless gears, pathetic amount of 200 gold at most, and you need at least millions to upgrade just one character.

    All in all, I suggest everybody to stay away from this game because it is not worth playing at all. Please save your time and money on something more worthy, you can buy some good indie games and still have way more fun than playing this pathetic, greedy game that aims at nothing but destroying your wallet. And I still haven't talked about the lack of communication and tone deaf attitude from the developers.    … Expand

    IF YOU ARE F2P, just accept the fact that you will not get very far in this game and it will be incredibly frustrating/discouraging.

    IF YOU ARE intending to play this game with friends, it is worth mentioning that the co-op system is absolutely riddled with glitches and feels unfinished. You will not have a pleasant experience playing with friends. Treat this game as a singleplayer game. A lot of people have a misconception that this game is a MMORPG, however it is NOT one and will NEVER become one.

    My biggest complaint is that the company behind Genshin Impact (miHoYo) completely disregards their playerbase and feedback to the point where it is quite clear that they just DO NOT care. You should know that whatever suggestions/feedback you send to miHoYo or their staff will go unheard for the sake of continuing to milk their playerbase's wallet. The surveys in-game are purely Public Relations purposes and have no meaningful contribution to improving the game. There is no communication between the devs, PR team and the playerbase. The staff and devs do not listen to player feedback and makes it quite clear that they will not be fixing any of the issues any time soon. miHoYo uses predatory monetization tactics. They even go as far as scripting fake "leaks" to keep their playerbase on the edge with false hope. The only things that have been confirmed is information that was already in the closed beta testing. Everything afterwards is just empty promises with the intention of stalling their playerbase. miHoYo carefully manipulates their phrasing and wording to deceive players.

    - Primogems - Primogems are a form of in-game currency. At the start of the game, the world is filled with chests that reward the player with primogems as you open them. However, you come to realize that these chests DO NOT respawn. Your influx of primogems quickly runs DRY. The only way to obtain primogems is through purchase with real life money and/or doing your daily commissions (which only give you 60 primogems per day).

    - Gacha Rates - The gacha rates are abysmal. Definitely the worst gacha system by far. Your chances of getting a 5* star character is incredibly low (0.6% chance). You will have to spend about $200+ USD to get one. If this was not bad enough, there is little-to-no ways to obtain primogems by simply playing the game after Adventure Rank 35. (You need 160 primogems for a single pull)

    - Events - Do not even get me started on these events. These "events" are tedious with little rewards. These events are recycled from the closed beta testing (the developers have not even polish them since) with a glitchy co-op system. The rewards are not meaningful enough to get excited about.

    - Also, if you are planning to submit artwork to one of their events/contests, I suggest that you read the User Contributions part of their Terms of Service on the Genshin Impact website. Otherwise, you might find yourself at the short-end of the stick.

    - Stamina System AKA Resin System - This becomes a huge problem later on in the game. If you are looking for a long-term game that you can consistently play, then this is not the game for you. The game becomes nearly unplayable as most content become blocked by the Stamina System later on. This game is heavily geared towards casual mobile players who log in once a day to finish their daily tasks. As this game is being advertised as a multi-platform game, this is extremely disappointing. This game at its core is more reminiscent of a mobile game with a terrible and unrewarding gacha system.

    These are just a few of the many issues with Genshin Impact and miHoYo. I advise anyone who wants to try any game by miHoYo to play with caution.    … Expand

If you play all day you should be able to hit AR 20 on first day. At that point you are still enjoying the game, new region opens up with way more verticaly and different look to it. So you go on exploring everything doing quests, using your resin (mobile energy system) that you noticed exists a while back. This will last maybe 2 more days if you play all weekend for example, at that point you will be close to AR 30. That is where ull notice that this big beautiful world starts to become less full. All the challenges you do, all chests you open they for the most part dont respawn at all. It's at that point when your further progress will be limited mostly by daily comissions which reset each day and resins. You cannot claim xp and rewards from bosses and dungeons this game has without resins. That's when you gonna play less than you used to and all these limitations will cause your score of this game to go down to around 5/10. There are still some quests and a bit of content at AR 32/34/36. Reaching that is gonna take you a week or 2 of just logging in for maybe 30-60 min per day doing comissions and using your resins. Then you maybe will want to search for some hidden chests or challenges you missed in the open world, but there will be fewer and fewer of them every day.. Once you hit 35 and eventually 40, this game is completely empty. It's going to be 20 min per day, then ull log off. Or you could pay real money for daily refreshes, which costs about $11-12 per day to do maximum allowed amount of refreshes. It makes you progress your AR ( adventure rank) about 3 times faster for a fee of $350 per mount if you were to do it every day. At that point all thats left of this game is predatory gambling for characters it takes on average hundreds of dollars to get the one you want and you need multiple copies to max their constelation making character stronger. Even if you decide to spend money on that and get lucky pulling shiny 5* star chances are you wont even have resources to level them up unless you spend even more money. AR 35-40 is when your score of this game would go down to 0/10, as you can't even play anymore. Theres no more content at that point other than predatory casino or waiting for resin and daily comission resets. This is a great single player game, it just lacks ending credits after you completed everything. As mmo in the long run, its just another mobile garbage that exists to make as much money as possible in as unethical way as possible. Oh and this online casino is rated PEGI 12 somehow.… Expand

    This can be kept short

    Genshin their gacha model makes EA and Activision seem like @$@$ saints.. You want to do anything meaningful in this game paywalled & timegating which can be by-passed by paying money. You want characters maxed out at full potential instead of being a limp-d clown squad.. well bring out your credit card and start rolling lootboxes and farming those 10 roll    This can be kept short

    You want characters maxed out at full potential instead of being a limp-d clown squad.. well bring out your credit card and start rolling lootboxes and farming those 10 roll pity/90 roll pity mechanics .. and it's about 1.50 dollar per roll lmfao.

    TL:DR walk away this game is a whale trap, mihoyo is laughing all the way to the bank off... so many clowns pumping thousands of dollars into a account for a game with maybe 2 hours of actual story content    … Expand

    MiHoYo are currently censoring bad reviews on the google & apple appstore and also censoring posts on reddit and their official forum due to a laughable attempt to fix a core mechanic of the game that is fundamentally flawed.

    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.
