    Thought it would've been a predatory cash-grab. But there's so much content even if you don't want to spend a dime.

    This is the perfect game for me. Developers add new content every month. There is a reason to return to the game.

    Лучший открытый мир 2020 года. Бесплатная игра, лучшая во всем по сравнению с дрочильнями Юбисофт. После Геншина платить за них - нонсенс.
    Донат здесь только условный - легко дошел до 48 уровня приключений и иду дальше.

    Best open world RPG I played this year so far...
    Its free to play, a lot of things you can do and developers are doing great job with every week events and a big update 1.1 is coming very soon next weeks.

    All reviews about resin and gacha system - guys, its not auto-play mobile RPG, it's a new console level game, you don't need to spend all of your money to have 5 star heroes, but you need to understand that they need a money to continue development and updates, it can be a fully free game.

    And also if you will have all heroes for free, do you think that this game will be interesting for you?    … Expand

The content will continue to expand (what we have right now could be only 1/7 of total pieces or more. You just have to wait. Actually, with the content right now, the game can be sold at 60 usd like other AAA games, no one will complain but you can play all for free. This fact is enough to justify the high score. Though I would prefer direct buying rather than Gacha, but it is still awesome game nontheless.

    Edit :: Oh and I am very surprised about how well the devs cared about side quests, puzzles. There are many that very well written/ good designed. NPCs around town too have good conversions, some are funny, some are interesting drama.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a free game it's the most awesome RPG exploration type on Android/PC/PS4 for 2020.
    I repeat, it's completely FREE. It is the most polished and beautiful FREE game that doesn't sell you any advertising.

    The world is huge and beautiful, the content is solid and have tons of voice acting. The characters are very anime like. The main character story is considered well written and meticulously planned out. The story quests are interesting and worthwhile. I have wasted hours just exploring the world.

    I've fallen in love with this game (again) after the release of Patch 1.2.

    There are some issues with Genshin Impact, and it's still expensive AF if you plan to roll characters/constellations... nonetheless, it's not necessary to pay $$$ so I don't think that my previous score (0/10, yes I was a part of the "bombing" team) was correct.

    It's the best free game. The only downside is that it might be tempting for certain types of people to spend a lot. Although it's 100% true you can play this game completely free.

    The Anime style of this game really has a different feel to what I am normally used to, but it isn't hard to look pass that once you realize how enjoyable the game is.

    The Anime style of this game really has a different feel to what I am normally used to, but it isn't hard to look pass that once you realize how enjoyable the game is. This game has a better designed world and NPCs than a lot of triple A title games. Everything feels so engaging and alive. I definitely feel like it would have been a game I would have paid for when I play sometimes.

    A lot of bad reviews stems from those who want more for less, even though you can play this completely free. I ran out of content but so what, there's more updates coming and it's all free. It's a single player game, I don't expect to keep grinding after I finish all the content, I will just wait for more. Maybe I am just a casual and I am not interested in the endgame. It might get better or worse in future content, who knows but so far I really enjoyed it. My experience with it has been superb.

    Don't skip this game because there's a paywall.. because you can ignore it. It's just what the monetization the devs decided to go with unfortunately. I honestly would have just paid for this game.

    Do consider before you start playing if you have an addiction problem or is a perfectionist who wants 100% because this game will eat your wallet. I spent a little to support the devs but I know I won't get suckered in.    … Expand

    Reminds me a lot of Zelda Breath of the Wild. The game is worth a try, specially considering it's free to play.

    Some people hate the Gacha system but I got nothin against it. It's a free game, I can't hate the developers for trying to make some money considering the game is very much on par with the likes of BoTW. To be fair, I didn't exactly pay 60 bucks for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. first of all its fun to see all this review of people that played one day at day one and give zero, pretty funny, so i am at level 56 in the game playing this game for a little bit less then a year at this point and the game is great it have probably the best open world i ever saw the elemental mechianics are awesome and the characaters are all so unique and well characterized, but i am sure you guys want to know what people think about the paying part.
    basically the game turn around a 5$ montly subscription and another 12$ battelpass every 45 days if u really want to play the game this 2 things are the must buy, there is nothing to do its something u have to buy if u want to really play this game the gems pack are totally skippable but for a free to play game that gives hundreds of playing hours for me is not a big deal since there are games that give you 8 hours of gameplay and they cost 80$ so if you are like me, an adult with a work and who can understand a company makes the games for gain and not for be the hero that give games around, the ticket price of this game compared to the hours of fun it can give is great and not comparable to most of the triple a games around cuz this game on pc its a triple a game.
    after all said we are about to reach the 1.7 update that will had a new entire region probably and so with that hundreds of explorations hours, this game is having a massive supoport from the developer and it seems tehy will keep giving it we are now just a 2 on 7 regions the 3rd is coming and 4 more probably will be realesed in the years this is just the beginning!    … 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]

    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.
