    If playing for 15 mins per day counts as fun i would rate 9/10. Considering it does not count as fun for me, I will give this game a 0 because the game forces you to be unable to play after only 15 mins of game time by having nothing to do.

    Good game in the early run but in the end you see how greedy of a company mihoyo is
    -Outrageous prices, 200 dollars for 1 character thats crazy
    -a stamina system that stops you from playing the way you want doesnt belong on pc
    -useless battlepass
    -tons of paywalls

    Exploration is fun. I found it addictive and somewhat rewarding. The start of the game is easily 9 of 10 if not a full 10. Then the gacha mechanics start to kick in. The elemental combat system has been done and swapping characters to get elemental combos isn't really fun. The end game spiral abyss takes this mechanic to 11 requiring 2 teams to beat each floor.

    Putting aside the fact that this game is free and i will only recommend it if you really have nothing better to do ,sure it is fun at times i would even say it does really give an amazing first impression, but ultimately its just below average game for me and here is why

    -Uninspired this is one of the biggest gripe i had with the game ,this might very well be the most uninspired game of this generation ,which says alot since this generation is so filled with uninspired games even worse than dark souls clone ,this however takes it to ridiculous heights even the damn map looks almost exactly the same as Botw ,it tries to steal so many gameplay mechanics from breath of the wild and sure this really does sound great on paper it ultimately fails miserably i will explain later on in this review ,it even steals some animations from nier automata and it has an uninspired anime artstyle to pander to weebs because they are the ultimate simps who will spend their money on an anime waifu.

    -Gameplay mechanics are shallow and just dont work well together ,like the characters can do all sorts of flashy moves but god forbid if they sprint or climb their stamina will deplete ,this is kind of like the opposite of what nintendo does ,nintendo adds few gameplay mechanics and build an entire game around it ,GI however just shoehornes mechanics from very popular games and add gacha on top of it and just expects it to work ,elemental combos started out great but later on it just became awful ,same with RPG mechanics do you know why? because these mechanics have not been worked upon lack depth and are just added for the sake of more content.

    -It just baffles me that reviewers and many people praise the story, im not expecting planescape torment or Disco Elysium but has the bar really been this low? the story is the most generic anime garbage i have seen in a while and unless you enjoy that stuff im not judging ofc ,the praise for this games story is as empty as this game.

    -Awful dungeon and boss design this is part of my complaint on how the game shoehornes uninspired gameplay mechanics and expects it to work ,the dungeons suffer from the same thing.

    -Enemies lack variety and are poorly designed

    -side content/quest are mediocre at best ,poorly designed and will get repetitive later on

    **** Endgame and resin system if you read most reviews here you will get what im saying so i dont think i will need to echo what everyone has already said countless of times.

    Overall i only recommend this game if you want something for free and have literally NO game in the backlog you might even enjoy the first part of the game but ultimately it will fall apart later on ,i hope next time we see something that is original and has depth unlike this mess of a game    … Expand

    Short answer:

    It's a predatory microtransaction-riddled mess that lures people via the first few hours being decent. But it's actually a surprisingly shallow cashgrab for the gullible. It's genuinely not a good "game" and don't lt anyone tell you otherwise because it has fundamental core problems. Long Answer: The gameplay is one-dimensional and becomes stale shockingly fast.

    Long Answer:

    The gameplay is one-dimensional and becomes stale shockingly fast.

    It has no real identity of its own because it blatantly absorbs aspects from other games to try and have as much mass-appeal as possible to lure people in. A result of this is that it's all surface-level and most people realize this by the time they reach "Adventure Rank 30". Aka the ranking system from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon except turned into a slightly annoying grind instead of a tangible accomplishment.

    It's literally a Mobile game. Right down to the oversimplified braindead controls and some awkward camera issues on mouse/keyboard. The graphics are also an obvious holdback of this too but less important. However. HOWEVER. Being a mobile game also means something else...

    Lootboxes. The game is fully designed around lootboxes and trying to force the player to spend money. This is probably the single worst offender for this practice because it lures people in with the façade of a good game that doesn't really exist and then stonewalls progression if they get invested.

    It is genuinely not a good game. Anyone who has a gambling addiction or suspected vulnerability towards it... Never play this "game". Keep children away from it. Keep everyone you can away from it. It sets a very bad precedent for game development.    … Expand

Everything you want/need to do requires resin. Resin is their "Energy System" allowing for players to do content. EVERYTHING "meaningful" in this game requires resin. And even if you were to spend all your resin, you get like 20 minutes of game out of it a day. Trying to upgrade your characters is horrendous, there is no incentive on getting new chars because you can't even level them up. That's also gated behind resin, yes. As is gold. And character evolution mats. And weapon evolution mats. And talent upgrade mats. Even the WEEKLY bosses cost resin. Half of your daily maximum, mind you. The game forcefully limits the players to only playing around 20 minutes a day, doing "reasonable" progress, which pretty much diminishes to nothingness once you get to AR40. I do not recommend this game, in it's current state to anyone. In this worldwide pandemic we're currently in, they also put a gacha system in the game. New 5* characters cost approx. 400$ if you're really unlucky. That's a PS5. For one single unit. Did I mention that you need 7 copies of one character to max them out? So if you have really bad luck, you'd have to pay 2.8k $ to get one single 5* maxed. And then you gotta spend another truckload of cash to level them, get them gear and upgrade their talents. In this worldwide pandemic which has causes millions to lose their jobs. First causing a worldwide pandemic and then making a new shiny game with ridiculously predatory systems in it.

The account's level (adventurer rank) determines which content you are allowed to play and enjoy and the only way to progress it further after rank 35 is to do daily missions and use resin which doesn't even yield that much experience where at this point it's just about daily logins.
    The game is pro actively discouraging people from playing the game by barring content behind said stamina system and you only get to play the game for like 30mn daily. The system needs to be fixed before anyone can enjoy the game. Not even p2w in this game works because you have a limited amount of refreshes on the stamina. The studio got an insane amount of feedback on how bad the stamina system is during closed beta and yet they managed to make it worse on live. The game seems very promising but leaves a loooooooooooooooot to be desired.
    The gacha system leaves a lot to be desired and pretty much gates you from playing new characters. For most content you can do it with the basic characters given for free to players but for the endgame (spiralling abyss), if you don't land some lucky rolls you are stuck in a wall and can't progress any further at which point even skill doesn't matter and the game becomes about which characters you acquired from the gacha.

    Monetization in this game is atrocious. 200+ dollars (90 pulls) to guarantee a single RANDOM 5 star (rarest and strongest) character. And to max out the character you need to get the SAME EXACT character SIX TIMES. This is simply ridiculous even if you intend to spend money, and it is straight up impossible to do as a F2P player, as you dont get nearly enough currency for 90 pulls.

    Before I say anything I want to start by saying thank you to miHoYo for creating a beautiful and wonderful game. I enjoyed it as long as I could and I loved every minute I was able to. The music, the graphics, the sounds, the combat, the exploration, the secrets, the collectables, the achievements, it was all fun and I’ll always remember the positive points of my experience with GenshinBefore I say anything I want to start by saying thank you to miHoYo for creating a beautiful and wonderful game. I enjoyed it as long as I could and I loved every minute I was able to. The music, the graphics, the sounds, the combat, the exploration, the secrets, the collectables, the achievements, it was all fun and I’ll always remember the positive points of my experience with Genshin Impact.

    However I’m writing this to speak plainly about issues the game has had since Day 1. Issues that have yet to be fully addressed, explained, or resolved. The number one issue that’s been a hot topic for weeks now is Original Resin. Lackthereof or otherwise, this system is the largest obstacle for players to overcome once they reach a certain level, making it nearly impossible to progress meaningfully. There are a few other issues I would like to address as well.

    1: Original Resin
    2: Low Gacha Rates / Wish System
    3: Lack of F2P PrimoGems
    4: Lack of meaningful co-op experience
    5: Lack of communication from Development Team/Staff

    As of 10/22/2020, The developer conference post mentioned that Original Resin will be boosted from 120 to 160, and the required amount used for the weekly battlepass will be lowered. That’s all well and dandy, but I’d like to explain why this solution isn’t beneficial to the players or the game, and what could be done instead.

    At the current regeneration rate, we receive 1 resin per 8 minutes. Even if the amount of resin we receive increases to 160, we are still capable of regenerating nearly 180 resin every 24 hours. While the new rate of 160 is nice, as it allows us to complete our daily mission in our battle pass, it does not actually allow for more game time due to resin costs being very high and regeneration being so slow. (Regeneration is so slow in-fact, I can often go to sleep and wake up and still not have my resin completely replenished. Adding a higher cap will only exacerbate this issue.)

    Yes, I could refresh my resin with Fragile Resin but once I run out of fragile resin, refreshing takes primogems, which I barely have. I can rarely even make a single wish.

    I do not want to waste my primogems on energy.

    No one WANTS to waste their primogems on the energy system. And that’s where the problem lies. There is no REASONABLE incentive to spend the gems, therefore people won’t.

    It really is a shame because I enjoy playing this game so much and I would love to spend more time with it, but once I complete my daily commissions and burn my resin, I am left with nothing to do other than gather random materials.

    Because of the current limitations, I have been forced to explore every corner of Teyvat and I have found so many chests, seelies, and materials, that my world is almost ghostly. There is nothing left for me in my world. Unfortunately, this means I have nothing to do anymore. Since once my resin is used, I can’t farm character ascension materials of any kind.

    All meaningful rewards are trapped behind resin. Exp, Mora, Talent Books, Weapon materials, character materials, etc. I have hundreds of all of the materials that I could possibly gather that don’t require resin simply because I am -forced- to do this if I want to keep spending time with the game. This by design, punishes the player who has the time to play for long sessions.

    The Genshin community has repeatedly done the math and the amount of materials required to max even a single character is weeks of grinding materials. With a roster of 20+ characters and growing, it would take a year or two for me to see the roster all at the same level. Players can’t use the characters they paid you for simply because they do not have the resources available to them.

    Imagine a team of talented artists making a gorgeous game, but the game is unfortunately directed by the most out of touch director/team there is. The part where they copied from Breath of the Wild is awesome as expected, but every other part where there's business involved is awful.

    The game expects you to pay, I mean it is balanced around players paying for its paid perks. If you don't, you'll just never have enough. They even had weekly quests that required you to pay to play more than their daily limit if you wanted to complete it, yes, there's a LIMIT to how many activities you can do daily. It's like they don't want players to play their game.

    The gacha system itself isn't bad, but they chose to put atrocious rates. So expect to pay up to $200+ to have a 75% chance at getting a character you want. And then you probably won't have resources to use them, because they come at level 1 and your enemies will much stronger, and the only feasible way to level is to do your very LIMITED daily activities. So you have to choose to either spend your activities to level your new character, or continue leveling your high level ones who are probably doing all the heavy-lifting already to clear the same activities.

    The pay to win in this game is, unfortunately, too much. You can see in many games where paying gives players a small boost/advantage to catch up with others and in my humble opinion that's fine, gives players who doesn't have too much time to play a way to keep up, but in Genshin there are items/systems that are only designed for PAYING players. There's a bunch of items that the only way to obtain is by paying, as well as skills/level-ups that are also only available if you pay (and pay a LOT by the way).

    Their balance is also out of whack, in nearly everything they give as low resources as possible, you'll never have enough of anything to level your characters and their multiple systems that require leveling up, and there's a bunch of ways to purchase (real money) these resources you desperately need just to feel you're not being left behind. Enemies will keep getting stronger, and so must you, but you'll struggle to keep up unless you pay, that's how it's balanced.

    The game is still in its infant stages, but a lot of these are complaints from players ever since their beta began and their direction did nothing to address these, so I hold very little hope they'll improve any time soon. Probably when their player base/profits sink so much then maybe they'll take a second look at these complaints again.

    In short, it's a beautiful game with great gameplay (copied from a critically acclaimed game afterall) filled with poorly business decisions trying to squeeze money from players in every possible way.
    It is free to play, but expect the usual scummy cheap mobile game money grabbing tactics limiting you to play in every way unless you pay. Just stay away from this for a couple years when they improve their game and check if it became a whale-only territory with 20 players online or an actually decent game.    … Expand

    AR 38 here, so I know what I will talk about.
    When you first log into the game, it’s just beautiful. You are given 10 spins for anything, there are a lot of quests and activities and they are not going to end. But what does the game turn into after level 30? Stopped in, completed 4 daily quests, spent 120 resins, came in again in the evening and spent the remaining resin. That's all,    AR 38 here, so I know what I will talk about.

That's all, that's all you can do here in lategame. And the company is very stingy with rewards after level 15, when you buy a monthly card, you will receive 150 stars per day, one spin costs 160. And events give you about 1-2 rolls. The chance of a 5 * hero is 0.6%, a guaranteed 5 * hero (or weapon) will fall to you only after 90 rolls, it's over 3 months! Well, and resin, which is simply never enough. 180 resin are given per day, this is enough for 9 dungeons or 3.5 elite bosses, and bosses and dungeons are completed in 2-5 minutes each. Therefore, everything is not as cool as it seems at first glance.    … Expand

    I'm currently AR lvl 38, almost 39. I've done most of the content that game offers, except abyssal dungeon (currently on floor 7-3). All story content ends at level 34 so you're left with 4 daily quests each day and 10 randomly spawned world events, if you've collected most of the games loot chests and other collectibles (geo fragments etc.)

    I haven't used any money to this game and neither should you. The current way how the system works, you need constantly resin (this games energy). As a free to play player, you'll run out of resin within 15-30 minutes of gameplay (daily). It'll take 15 hours to recharge full energy. If you want to buy gems (premium currency) to get more resin, even with 100 euros purchase you'd run out of resin approx in span of a few hours if you're hardcore player.

    The current monthly "subcription" that gives 90 primo gems daily feels borderline insulting if you think about the fact that it's only enough to refill your resin gauge by 60 points. Thats approx 1 elite boss, or 3 dungeons or 3 experience or money orbs that you can do / daily. You have to choose which content you're going to do, as energy isn't enough for all of it. All in all, that's about 15 minutes extra gameplay (daily).

    I'll update my review score if things change for the better. This game would easily get 8/10 but as it currently stands I give it 4/10. I'd love to give some money to the developers to support otherwise fun and well crafted game, but the way they are currently handling games energy system it feels very predatory and unfair.    … Expand

    There is three problems (at 29 October of 2020), that are scorching my impressions on this game after my "honey month". I am not a whale, but dolphin (bought monthly subscription for primogems after first two weeks of satisfied gameplay). I am gonna explain, why you should afraid of this game. At least, at this state.

I am not a whale, but dolphin (bought monthly subscription for primogems after first two weeks of satisfied gameplay). I am gonna explain, why you should afraid of this game. At least, at this state.

    1) Gacha rates are bad.
    I know, that this is just "casino" under cover of nice ARPG with cute 3D anime girls and good OST, but... Rates are really abysmal even for that kind of game. There is Fate: Grand Order, Arcknights, Fire Emblem: Heroes, Azur Lane and Girls Frontline. They all has really good drop rates for good heroes. What about this abomination? 0.5% for 5* hero and 95% for 3* weapon? Here it is, Johnny boy! Also count of primogems, that can be found in the game was hugely cut off since CBT.
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just increase rates and give us more primogems. That's all.

    2) Resin system is sucks.
    Remember that deprecated and annoying "stamina system" from old browser and mobile games? This is it. You will need a huge amount of that piece of junk resource just for almost every activity in the game. Wanna treasure from Ley Line? 20 resin. Wanna treasure from event? 40 resin. Wanna treasure from elite boss? 60 resin. "Nice", isn't? You have only 120 of that crap. And believe me or not, but regen rate is very slow as turtle in the desert. What "MiHoYo" is gonna do about it? They just want to increase it to 160. "Nice". We need water and you give us just bigger bottle. Wow! What a pun!
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just get rid of that system, but they never do that, because many whales are just too stupid to buy resin thru primogems.

    3) Difficulty spikes and grind isn't fun at all.
    Many cool quests are contained behind "AR wall". Adventure Rank is equivalent of Mastery Rank in Warframe. Completed quests, opened chests and almost all activities can give you small amount of it. But certain AR's gonna raise your World Level (WL in future). It's 20 and 30. And you know, what WL is doing? Here it is: All enemies, including bosses, are now has really huge amount of HP and attack. You will regret about it. And here comes the "favorite" grind: mora (local analogue of money)(because you will need this for everything), exp books (for lv-up characters), ores (for lv-up weapons), artifacts (they leveling only thru duplicates) and special materials from dungeons and bosses just for ascends.Every WL will be a hardcore wall for casual players, that just loves photo-mode and wants to do nice quests. Also, if your WL is very high and enemies around level 80, then you messed up, 'cause if you are too lucky to obtain new cute meta waifu from gacha, she will be level 0, so... Grind again! "Fun"!
    * * *
    Possible Solution: MiHoYo can just make WL's unlockable thru special trial dungeons, that will contain mobs with levels from that WL. And after that players just can activate any unlocked WL. Wanna "good" loot and "funnier" mobs? Go ahead. Why all players (both whales and f2p's) need to go thru this hell? There is good example, like Steel Path in Warframe, difficulties in Diablo 3 (also errands in every region) and OP levels from Digistruct Peak of Borderlands 2.

    If Genshin Impact was only for mobile phones ("Come one, guys! Don't you have phones?"), then OK. This "gaming" platform is already dead for me. But Genshin Impact is out not only for this platform, but for PS4 and PC and it's going to Nintendo Switch. This is unforgivable, 'cause it's gonna ruin gaming industry more, that EA with UbiSoft and Bethesda...

    At this broken state i can't recommend this game to anyone. Seriously. There is just "Zelda: Breath Of The Wild". I don't care, will you play it on Nintendo Switch or just thru emulator. This game is really better. Gosh, i want even buy full priced AAA game like Genshin Impact, but without casino, resin system and stupid world levels. Indie developers!

    Right now, the systems in place right now make it impossible to play the game, seriously. Resin is a horrible system that limits the amount of content that you can do. This is similar to stamina systems in other gacha games, except taken to the extremes. If you log in and do your daily commissions + your resin activities you'd be lucky to get half an hour's worth of playtime. After that, you have to wait a whole 18 HOURS for your resin to reach full again. Its such a joke of a system. Any activities outside of resin based ones are mostly useless. ALL forms of progression are tied to resin. Character EXP, artifacts, talent levels, weapon/character ascension, EVERYTHING. Being F2P is a joke, and while it is a PVE game, you're still going to struggle doing some of the game's content specifically because the game WILL NOT let you play it. Resin needs changes before you even consider playing this game. Don't even get me started on the abysmal gacha rates this game has, you'll never get any characters you want as a F2P, not a chance.

    TL;DR: Resin sucks and gives you 20 minutes of play time a day. Steer clear of this game until it gets fixed.    … Expand

So just comeAh, Genshin Impact, Google's and Apples' "Game of the Year" that has made 6 million $ a day, currently Epic's best-selling game despite it being "free to play". Metascore: 84. Fascinating, how easily game journalists were fooled by gambling dressed as a game. But of course, you don't have to gamble, it's about the experience, you see, the stories, the memories, and so on. So just come along and have a nice evening. Welcome to the modern Las Vegas, now open for minors. Don't worry, you have it all under control. You don't have to spend a single dollar, just enjoy the show.

    Only a few would admit spending money or an absurdly amount of time on this game, slogging through menial tasks and one bland fetch quest after the other, to farm pitiful amounts of premium currency for another "free" pull at the slot machine.

    Yes, running from point A to B and back again might get very boring but, you see: "You get 4 free summons for it, too. That is, if you do the 5 extra missions after. It’s a pretty great trade."

    So, chop chop, don't be lazy. Ok, "sometimes" players feel bad after they got nothing worthwhile, pull after pull after pull, hours upon hours, dollars upon dollars, down the drain. "But you get so much content for free, you see?!" Yes, it's hard to admit to have wasted your time or money because of all the sunk cost fallacies. Yet, wasting your time seems even worse. Many people seem to forget that their time on this planet is infinitely more valuable than the money they did or did not spend.

    But let's forget about gambling and talk about player retention... er, the "Epic Open World Gameplay Experience ".

    Genshin Impact features a boss fight against an "Oceanid". It talks to you very sagely: "With no place to flow, even the purest of water will begin to envy the forms of living things who can roam about freely. It is this 'water' that will be used to drown you and the pollution ..." etc. etc.

    This boss will drop 2 "Cleansing Heart" items which are required to upgrade a character attuned to the water element. Like many items in this game, this challenge is the only source of that upgrade material in the entire game. To upgrade one single character, you need 46 of these "Cleansing Hearts". Imagine the fun farming this boss, hearing the same lines repeatedly... "With no place to flow, even the purest of water..."

    So, you got another character attuned to the water element? Have fun doing it all over again. And that’s just the beginning: For 1 character, you need to farm 6 different materials including "gold" and experience tomes. To upgrade their talents, you need another 2 different materials plus more gold. For their weapons, you need another 3 different materials plus more gold. Now multiple the time needed to grind for all these resources for every single character you want to level up. And this is still just the tip of the iceberg. See all the other reviews mentioning the endless "soul-crushing grind" to get specific artifact sets with viable stats. It’s layers upon layers of grind.

    From a children's novel (The Phantom Tollbooth) which seems quite relevant today:
    "'Well, I wish I knew how long it was going to take,' Milo wondered. (...) Milo took out the shiny pencil from his pocket and quickly calculated that, at the rate they were working, it would take each of them eight hundred and thirty-seven years to finish.
    'Pardon me,' he said, tugging at the man's sleeve and holding the sheet of figures up for him to see, 'but it's going to take eight hundred and thirty-seven years to do these jobs.'
    'Is that so?' replied the man, without even turning around. 'Well, you'd better get on with it then.'
    'But it hardly seems worthwhile,' said Milo softly.
    'WORTHWHILE!" the man roared indignantly.
    'All I meant was that perhaps it isn't too important,' Milo repeated, trying not to be impolite.
    'Of course it's not important,' he snarled angrily. ' I wouldn't have asked you to do it if I thought it was important.'
    'Then why bother?"'
    'Because, my young friends, what could be more important than doing unimportant things? If you stop to do enough of them, you'll never get to where you're going.‘
    'Then you must…'
    'Quite correct! I am the Terrible Trivium, demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs, ogre of wasted effort, and monster of habit.'
    (...) 'Don't try to leave', he ordered, with a menacing sweep of his arm, 'for there's so very much to do, and you still have eight hundred years to go on the first job.' (…)
    As he spoke, he tiptoed slowly toward them with his arms outstretched and continued to whisper in a soft, deceitful voice, 'Now do come and stay with me. We'll have so much fun together. There are things to fill and things to empty, things to take away and things to bring back, things to pick up and things to put down (…). Why, if you stay here, you'll never have to think again - and with a little practice you can become a monster of habit, too.'"    … Expand

    Конечно, в начале игры всё дается довольно легко, персонажи и оружие не требуют тонны ресурсов для улучшения, и самих ресурсов у тебя в достатке. Но стоило только вдохнуть свежего воздуха, как тут же в камеру пускают газ.
    Смола: На ранних этапах игры все идет гладко, можно часами бродить по миру и на каждом углу находить сундуки, но даже 1500+ сундуков заканчиваются где-то к 35-40 рангу, и остается лишь ежедневная активность, а именно поручения и 3-4 раза сходить в подземелье, лишь бы потратить жалкие 160 смолы. 40 смолы на босса, 20 на подземелье, еще 60 на другого босса - смола тут, смола там, везде нужна смола, в игре почти нету активности где не нужно было бы использовать смолу, и как итог ты заходишь в игру только на 20 минут в день, после чего ждешь 8*160= 21 час 20 минут для того чтобы снова потратить смолу. И этот порочный круг продолжается пока ты не купишь смолу за камни истока (особая игровая валюта), что фактически означает купить возможность поиграть подольше. Особенной частью всего этого являются еженедельные боссы, на которых надо тратить аж 60 смолы за раз, иными словами ты потратишь всю смолу уже в первые 10 минут игры в понедельник, и все равно убьешь только двух боссов, и при этом не факт что тебе вообще выпадет что-то хорошее.
    Кстати о чем-то хорошем, а именно о ресурсах в игре. Приближаясь к высоким уровням цены на улучшения персонажей, оружия или артефактов становятся неподъемными. Мало того что всего лишь пара мечей или артефактов попросту съедят все ваши накопленные Мора (обычная игровая валюта), так еще и персонажи требуют по несколько десятков редких материалов. Если учесть, что в игре надо улучшать не только одного персонажа, а всю команду, то количество нужных ресурсов возрастает на столько, что будьте готовы потратить больше недели на улучшение нескольких персонажей персонажей. На самом деле, даже проблема с ресурсами перестала бы быть проблемой, если бы не смола. Mihoyo оказались очень хитрыми, чтобы получить нужные ресурсы требуется убить определенных боссов, но убить босса можно в любое время совершенно бесплатно, а вот собрать ресурсы стоит уже 40 смолы, или всего 4 раза в день, то есть 8-12 особых предметов для улучшения, в то время как стоимость улучшения может достигать 20 предметов и выше.
    Как итог, по мере прохождения интересная игра превращается в 15 минутные заходы и шаблонные задания.    … Expand

You don't know how to add content to the game itself, they don't farm enemies that are still there, without respawn chests, without EXP, without Mora (Gold), protecting nothing and constantly activating the combat camera that has become a joke after hours of game. Bad coop, constant RNG on equipment focused on bad status (Def and HP) taken from games like Epic Seven (which is one of the biggest and most hated problems of the E7 franchise).

    Constant release of 5-star limited characters, with no recourse to upgrade them and no places to use them. Unfortunately this game should have learned more from games like Ragnarok Classic, Warframe and other MMORPGs and less from greedy Gachas. I think that a PVP can never exist in this game, because it is rotten and poorly planned with the sole intention of plagiarizing quality franchises like Zelda BotW and Nier Automata, focused only on Whale players who have the constellations completely.

    Free players will only take 5 star weapons on regular banners or the character Jean (practically everyone who plays has her) who should be 4 star, but they forced her into that rank, probably to deceive players (Nigguang was already 5 stars, but they dropped their rank and unfortunately killed Jean).

    Bad, stressful events (Xiao's event will be like that too, I guarantee). Abyss is unfair in the extreme, absurdly difficult even for PC users (let alone on smartphones) resetting only the last 4 floors, making it impossible for beginning players (F2P also won't make the abyss easily) to complete it, to catch the miserable rewards. In CBT it was said that there was a complete reset of the abyss, but the ridicule of miHoYo, as it always does everything wrong.

    I insist on saying, do not play. Not worth it. Play Persona 5 on your Playstation, Zelda on your Swtch or Nier and Final Fantasy 15 on your Xbox, but don't play this disgrace here.    … Expand

    I agree with most of people, game designe is gorgeous. World is beautiful, characters are prety, battle mechanics are pretty decent. In game story interesting.

In game story interesting.

    BUT. After you closing main story, which can take you 7-9 hours, there is nothing to do in game.
    You can explore map. Exploring means find every chest on the map. There are four kinds of chests: common, exquisit, precious and luxurious. Each give some rewards, but mostly it's trash, something decent you can get from luxurious chests, but there are about 40 such chests.

    There is no end game content, one thing you can call "end game content" is Spiral Abyss. First 8 floors are fine. You do trials to get nice rewards, but first 8 floors one time to visit only. 9-12 floors resets every few weeks, but instead of getting good amount of "Primogems", 300 like from each of first eight floors, you get 150 gems. And last four floor trials not even nearly easy. You need to kill n-number of mobs, for certan amount of time. Each floor have three rooms, you can pass with rate 0-9 stars, 3 stars 50 gems. Every mob in last four floors is overpowered, with hp and damage. Especialy last floor.

    Now, Primogems - how to get and spen them.
    You can get Primogems by progressing the story, for each quest you will get aproximetly 60 gems, from chests you can get 0-10 gems, also you get 30 gems for first time visiting dungeons, also yo get 60 primo gems for all 4 daly quests, starting from 10th adventurer rank. Or the easiest way to get gems to spend irl money. One gacha roll = 160 primogems, 3$ = 180 primogems.

    Now the most interesting part, gacha or casino, or loot boxes.
    There are three banners "Character", "Weapon" and "Standart".
    5-star has 0.6% to drop, 4-star 5.1% and 94.3% 3-star. Prety dope, huh? For game with limited curency.

    Oh and by the way, every character you have 6 "constilations", like unique passive talents which you get ONLY if you get duplicate of that character, or if MihoYo start event with free characters, I remember only two such events, but you get only certain 4-star character not any character.

    Character banner has "high rate" to get to drop limited 5-star character and three 4-star charactes but also you can get five 5-star charaters and eleven 4-star characters from standart banner.
    The thing here is, "character" banner contain more than characters it also has 18 4-star weapon and 13 3-star weapon.

    Weapon banner has high rate to get certain 5-star weapon. Here is no triks, only 3-star 4-star and 5-star weapon. Pretty peculiar if you check how "character" banner works.

    Standart banner looks like "character" banner but it doesn't have limited, or "high" rate characters. You also can get 5-star weapon there.

    What I want to say is, "Character" banner is scam. If you free to play and you want certain character, it's high probability that you never get it.

    Resin or energy.

    Maximum you can have 160 resin, every interaction with world, like grinding artifacts, money, resources, expirience, cost 40 resin. Weekly bosses cost 60 resin, there are three world bosses now. One resin reganerate every 8 minutes. And of course you can regain it for primogems, aka for irl money.

    In conclusion, game it self good, but there is nothing there.
    And I don't understand why so many people prise that game so much with this monetization, instead of telling developers to change it to the better. Like really, make customization shop, you will still get money, but yea. Greed is good.    … Expand

    This game could have been Breath of the Wild on PC, but it will die as another Gacha mobile game that was just a cash grab in the end.

    Pros: - Gameplay is great - Combat is very good - Explorations and quests are also great (until they are gone) - Music is lovely Cons: - One of the worst Gacha rates in the industry. Let me break numbers to you. To get a 5* item (keep in mind,    This game could have been Breath of the Wild on PC, but it will die as another Gacha mobile game that was just a cash grab in the end.

    Pros:
    - Gameplay is great
    - Combat is very good
    - Explorations and quests are also great (until they are gone)
    - Music is lovely

    Cons:
    - One of the worst Gacha rates in the industry. Let me break numbers to you. To get a 5* item (keep in mind, just a 5* item, it can be a character or a weapon), you need to get at least 90 pulls (pulls are basically loot-boxes of this game). Let's say you really like that one 5* character that you want. Here are your chances. So your chance to get 5* character is 0.3%. There are 8 5* characters so you getting the one you want is 0.0375% (it will get even lower when they will add more 5* heroes). JUST THINK ABOUT HOW LOW IS THAT NUMBER. But there is a pity system, that guarantees that you'll get 5* item or character at 90th pull and guarantees a character pull after 180th pull (if you didn't get one on your 90th pull). To translate that to in-game currency, you need to spend $220 to get 90 pulls. $220 and you are not even guaranteed to get a character. This is an insult to anyone who has IQ over 10. Whale or not, the more you go into the math of Genshin the more you'll see how they are one of the worst companies when it comes to monetization. To compare, EA, the devil of loot-boxes have higher drop rates in FIFA games. Oh and to max your character or weapon, you need 5 duplicates. Good luck getting them, unless you are willing to spend literally 10K+.
    - Primogem gain abysmal. Primogems are an in-game currency which is used to purchase pulls (loot boxes). You need 160 primogems to get 1 pull, however, if you are a free-to-play player, after you are done with all the quests, you will be barely able to do 30 pulls per month. So basically you'll only get your 5* item after 3 months of boring grinding every day.
    - Resin AKA stamina system that is used in mobile games. Basically, you need resin the most important parts of the game. You only get around 180 resin per day and you only need 15 minutes to use it all up. Imagine being a PC player and wanting to play the game for hours and hours after a hard day at works but you can only do it for 15 minutes because once resins run out, you can't do any dungeons to get materials, and boy you will need A LOT of materials to upgrade your weapons and characters. Resin systems work for mobile because mobile players mostly play for a very short amount of time. However, you don't boot up your pc/ps4 for doing 4 daily quests and 3 bosses per day. It is more of a chore. Oh, and items drop only on certain days. So you had free time on Friday instead of Tuesday? Well suck it up and wait for the next day for your upgrade materials to drop. The Resing system doesn't need a rework. It needs to be removed altogether.
    - EXP gained and money rewards are not scaled by the world difficulty. You invested in a character that you don't want to play anymore? You got another character you want to level up now? Hope you didn't waste your EXP books because it will literally take you WEEKS only doing EXP activities (that of course require your resin). That just denied you to farm weapon/character materials. This game actively hates you and keeps you away from having fun.
    - There is no endgame. And the little content there is, it's being blocked by this atrocious resin system.

    TL;DR
    This game had the potential to be something great. Something unique, but I guess money is more important than a reputation. And people who defend it with arguments "THis iS a gAcHa GamE" are just the worst. Those who settle for mediocrity deserve nothing good in their lives.    … Expand

Так ещё по мимо этого в начале игры отсыпают кучу донатной валюты, и у наивному игроку может показаться, что он в принципе сможет играть в игру не занося туда денег, ведь донатную валюту игрок может получать за некоторые активности в игре. Но это только в начале ближе к 35 РП, единственными активностями будут ежедневные задания, за которые вы сможете получить 60 примогемов (а чтоб один раз покрутить рулетку надо 160), фармить в игре вы тоже не сможете, потому что "смола", и её катастрофически мало. Настолько мало, что на 40-45 РП ваши персы будут бегать без нормального оружия и артефактов. Отдельно стоит сказать про систему гача в игре, или по русски рулетку, оттуда выбиваются персонажи и оружие, шанс выпадения легендарного героя или оружия составляет 0,6%, что очень мало. потому что для некоторых данжей в игре требуются определенные персонажи, но не переживай в игре есть гарант, на 90 попытке тебе обязательно выпадет легенда, вот только именно этого легедарного персонажа ты хотел? стоимость 90 прокруток приблизительно 15 тысяч рублей, ну или копи пол года.
    Genshin Impact была бы отличной игрой если бы системы смолы и гачи в ней не было. Так же хочется сказать о наплевательском отношении разработчиков к игрокам, о сверх низких шансах в гаче и не нужной системе смолы игроки начали говорить ещё с збт, на что компания пообщела изменить ежедневный запас смолы с 120 до 160, что по сути ничего не меняет и выглядит как плевок в лицо игрокам, и да в анонсе патча 1.1 ничего про количество смолы сказано не было. так что можно предположить. что ничего не поменялось.

    The endgame? What endgame? This game is like a job, do daily quests and go home.

    I really want to give 1 for all the artists that contribute to this game. The game mechanics, graphic, sound tracks are amazing. But Gacha system just ruins everything compeletely. So, 0 for this game.

    The game has great potential.

    But the company was shown to act out of greed, raising prices absurdly after the first month of launch.

    I see no problem paying for resources, but at the original price it was already difficult for most players, now with the increase that took everyone by surprise I see that many were discouraged to continue or invest time and money by noting that the company does not listen to the community .    … 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.
