    За год игри уже надоели одинаковые ивенты. Игра превращается в платную помойку (не ф2п игрок, купил 3паса и 3 полой луни). Персонажи инадзуми не радуют, Йомия и Кокоми проходняк, Райден с с2 толька работает и сигнатуркой.

Genshin Impact is a gatcha game at its core, which attempts to be an open world RPG just like World of Warcraft. Of course, the constant grinding in the game depends on an energy system, which holds back any progress you can attempt to do in the game. Getting a decently-leveled character with a nice build can take months of grinding, as the artifact system has levels of rng for every single miniscule detail. The game has potential, but the house developer, MiHiyo, is wasting such potential in favour of predatory practices. Let's remember that this game is one of the most profitable games from the current era, mh?… Expand

    Hello! Dear developers from Mihoyo.
    I really love this game, in which you put your soul with every new update. I appreciate your efforts and try to support you financially. I really hope that on the anniversary of your so large-scale project you were able to enjoy this event at least a little. After all, you could!

    I am very sorry for the way most of the players decided to deal with you. Everyone decided that it was THEIR holiday. That it is THEIR merit that your brainchild exists at all. They brought down the rating of the game. They poured **** on you. I am very, very ashamed of those players who decided to do this, I am very sorry that you had to give them awards that they did not deserve. I love this game. And I respect you Mihoyo. I am very sorry to see what is happening now.
    This is your holiday. It was you who were able to create a cool project. Please, do not be led by these overeager freaks who call themselves "players". They don't deserve any awards. They don't deserve to play your game.    … Expand

    No recomendado, un juego gacha que no beneficia en nada al jugador, ya seas f2p o un pobre desgraciado que pague por el mediocre "pase". Horas de juego para recompensas que no valen nada la pena y el sistema de resina simplemente empeora las cosas. Existen mejores videojuegos en lo que puedes gastar tu tiempo.

    Its sad to think that Mihoyo can’t appreciate its customers that made them so much money. They think 400 primogems, which is not even 3 single summons, will shut us up. They think so little of the playerbase. On top of that, they havent put any end game content aside from the abyss. The daily routine in this game is a bit of a chore.

    Developers are too lazy to balance game aspects and too incompetent to fix the errors in their game. Control system for the PS4 version has delayed response during high-intensity and high-speed battles.

    I dont think i have ever had a more miserable experience playing a game in my life
    I heard bad things before i played but i went in with an open mind
    The combat is very bland and very button mashy There is no dodging, blocking or parrying when in combat there is only attack, attack, attack move a bit strong attack repeat Movement is also VERY annoying with the glide looking boring and    I dont think i have ever had a more miserable experience playing a game in my life

    There is no dodging, blocking or parrying when in combat there is only attack, attack, attack move a bit strong attack repeat
    Movement is also VERY annoying with the glide looking boring and the stamina lasting a good 5 seconds where you are forced into a slow jog, the stamina is MUCH worse when swimming where you must actively make the choice to go faster and lose less stamina, or go a snails pace and lose less stamina.
    I think the game looks good but it feels very dead with minimum animals spewing and no NPC's anywhere but in the walls or standing still waiting for you to talk to them.
    If you DARE want to play the game with friends enjoy 13 HOURS of aimlessly grinding boring ass side missions.
    The graphics looked good and the world interesting but the game failed to make me care so i am just trying to skip over cutscene's and return to the very boring gameplay
    The voice acting is also a big no for me so i just ended up muting dialogue sounds
    In short
    Game is poo poo

    Doesn't have inverted mouse support...in 2022, a standard option in video games for at least 25 years making it unplayable. No, I'm not installing 3rd party software to get around such a ridiculously amateurish oversight. Uninstalled in the first 10 minutes after forced to player on controller and the game froze up.

    - para evoluir os talentos dos personagens acima do rank 6 é necessário um item que apenas os chefes semanais dropam, isso é extremamente frustante!! Eu com AR 49 derrotando toda semana e sem falhar o Lobo, NUNCA obtive Spirit Locket of Boreas necessários para evoluir talentos de muitos personagens que uso em minha equipe

    - o mundo é vasto porém vazio, muitos locais você faz uma missão e pronto nunca mais retorna
    - inimigos são poucos e muito distantes uns dos outros farmar se torna uma tarefa muito chata

    Playstation said they won't refund me since the primogems showed up in my account and Mihoyo won't respond. I'm pretty confident this is an intentional 'glitch' for them to make double money on purchases. Mihoyo are greedy pigs.    … Expand

Как уже говорилось ранее мир пустой и абсолютно не насыщен в игре за всё время встретил только пару вариаций мобов. Думаю про передвижение стоит вообще молчать ибо маунтов нет крылья бесполезные нужны только при прохождении определённых локаций. Так же насчёт квестов если в кратце долго скучно. Мобы не ощущаются пришёл на персонаже 1-2 лвл как только зашёл в игру и встретил моба 13 (в игре был на тот момент примерно пол часа был открыт только 1 герой и это стартовый) в любой другой игре когда отрыв от моба измеряется 10 -12 лвл-ами вы будете ощущать мягко говоря трудности и дискомфорт но в сей игре мне нужно было смеяться и бегать вокруг казалось бы сильного монстра 5 минут и просто бить его. Подведём итоги: в игре нету каких либо сложностей в плане боссов - мобов, сюжет унылый и скучный, мир пустой и абсолютно не насыщенный, кооператива можно сказать что нет, донат действительно упрощает и так лёгкую песочницу для 5 летних детей в игру в которой тебе надо жать просто лкм без каких либо умственных нагрузок, профессии отсутствуют крафт заканчивается на приготовлении еды, ветки скиллов и талантов нету (у каждого героя 2 активных и пару пассивных способностей).

    After most likely playing upwards of 3000 hours of this "game" since the launch, I have reached the conclusion that it has all been a waste of time and money. Why did it take so long to figure that out? You would be wrong if you assumed I'm simply too dense to catch on before I'd spent an unbelievable amount of time grinding and exploring. The reality is that Mihoyo has pulled the rug outAfter most likely playing upwards of 3000 hours of this "game" since the launch, I have reached the conclusion that it has all been a waste of time and money. Why did it take so long to figure that out? You would be wrong if you assumed I'm simply too dense to catch on before I'd spent an unbelievable amount of time grinding and exploring. The reality is that Mihoyo has pulled the rug out from everyone and made the "game" pointless, they were lying from the very start and everything only looks good until you play it enough and realize it was all there just to make you think they care and that everything is fine, It's NOT.

    Genshin is a massive Whalebait going as far as offering you 5x the damage on a character if you spend "few hundreds of dollars". It's insane how pay to win the "game" is, every F2P player will never see themselves as powerful as a small whale even if they played for years more. This is because 5* characters and weapons are always better (with very few exceptions) on top of the the constellations are a huge pay wall behind which could be even half of character's kit locked behind and the only thing to access it is pay pay pay. 5* weapons are just stat sticks, constellations are only improving that, they add nothing new. It's unbelievable how greedy this company is, many players were able to see it soon, thank god, thanks to recent outrage many people are waking up to it, still 12 y.o. fanboys will be forever lost.

    Don't waste your time grinding this "game". The plot is absolute trash and moves at very slow pace. Genshin has no endgame and you will only grind the same things for years to come until they add another resource or upgrade material to chase for the next few months until you have enough.
    The "game" has only gotten worse since the launch, only doing the same thing over and over until mihoyo wakes up and remembers we still exist, they abandoned the community in favour of advertising and promoting their mess of a "game". Going as far as to beg artists, content creators and even cooks to promote them, even begging Elon to hype them up so that they could shaft even more unknowing people into their predatory monetization hellhole.
    You also may see a lot of players defend this "game" they have no idea what they are doing, hopefully they will see before they will lose too much money and time on this like me.

    This "game" is only a money making machine, just watch them throw it away when the hype around it dies down. They are already giving up on it, you can see it from recycled events, severe lack of content and them not listening to anything players say, going as far to delete and ignore people's feedback, It's everywhere, just look it up.

    If you want a better gacha that didn't copy everything from others go play Fate/Go, Azur Lane or Arknights those are much better in every sense. Or go play Zelda from which this "game" took everything and slapped monopoly on top of it.    … Expand

    Genshin Impact is a fairly good game. Sure, it takes heavy inspiration from games like Legend of Zelda BOTW. However, a lot of problems I face with the game is not the game itself, but the pay- to win aspect the developers added.

Sure, it takes heavy inspiration from games like Legend of Zelda BOTW. However, a lot of problems I face with the game is not the game itself, but the pay- to win aspect the developers added. I remember some time last year, people were outraged about the "rewards" they received after some events and quests; and they have good reason to be. How do you expect people to enjoy the game, when they're not being rewarded fairly and properly? If you actually did want to spend a little money to make the game progression easier, then you would have to go through the game's crappy wish system, where the RNG is either amazing, or more unfair than a casino. Other than that, there is still one major issue I have with the game. It's the lack of actual content. When people who play the game regularly run of content to play, and ask miHoYo to add more things to do, they interpret that as rereleasing the same stuff almost every single time. Sure, it technically adds something to do, but that's not what people want. This also poses a problem for the people who just started playing and are overwhelmed by the amount of content they have to go through. This makes the game feel like a chore more than an enjoyable past time. The art style and a lot of the character designs are pretty good, and so is the combat. I think Genshin Impact has a lot of potential, but the developers not listening to the problems of the players makes it hard to improve the game.… Expand

    Voice acting is bad
    Story is unengaging
    Tutorial is overly long
    Not a true open world
    Pay to win

    A beautiful anime-influenced adaptation of Nintendo's Breath of the Wild that is technically free to play. If you are a patient gamer, you may find a good amount of enjoyment out of this game.

    Ever since Nintendo pioneered BotW's free-roam action RPG, people have craved for more. Sadly, with BotW being a Nintendo exclusive, a void has been left unfilled for the longest time. However,    A beautiful anime-influenced adaptation of Nintendo's Breath of the Wild that is technically free to play. If you are a patient gamer, you may find a good amount of enjoyment out of this game.

    Ever since Nintendo pioneered BotW's free-roam action RPG, people have craved for more. Sadly, with BotW being a Nintendo exclusive, a void has been left unfilled for the longest time. However, today, miHoYo has delivered. If you've never played BotW before, this game is a decent way to experience it.

    The game has fluid 60 FPS gameplay, a clean interface, a rich story, multiple characters, and a world more lush and with less empty land than BotW's.

    Now you may be wondering: If Genshin is that good, why is it not a 10? The reason for that is simple. It is a blatant copy of BotW with added content and level barriers that limit the free roam aspect.

    Nothing disincentivizes adventuring more than opening up the map and seeing that you're not high enough level to go anywhere. miHoYo should've granted the player complete freedom, as it was one of the defining features that made BotW great. But now you're forced to follow the story and grind levels.

    Genshin Impact doesn't cost a penny, in theory. This alone warrants a good rating for the game. It comes with cross-platform co-op if you want to play with others as well. However, the typical mobile game inconveniences will eventually get to you.

    No "free to play" mobile game can be truly free after all since the company needs to make money in the end. This game is designed to have microtransactions since it is a mobile game at heart. If you can look beyond that, it's not a bad game to try.    … Expand

And why on earth would you include such a horrible p2w thing coming from mobile in a so called PC game?

    If you only allow the players to continue the main story mission after reaching a certain level, why making it so hard to level up? What if I just want to listen to the story and get out of the game? Are we not allowed to do that? If I ask you why the graphics of this games sucks, you say its because it will be mobile as well. If I ask you then why mobile is locked to 720p 30fps, you say oh because its a PC game. If I then ask why you have gacha in a PC game, oh because it is also a online game. If it is an online game then why is the player interaction so weak? Oh because it's a freaking PC game again...

    If your intention is keeping the players in the game even after the main story, as evidenced by the gacha mechanism, what do you want them to do eh? If your plan is to release part of the story bit by bit, when is the end?

    Unfortunately, a significant portion of the game's progression system is locked behind a paywall that is not only unreasonably expensive, but also purely lootboxes. There are no direct purchase microtransactions in this game whatsoever. Now, I can forgive lootboxes that contain nothing but aesthetics, but weapons, characters and a section of character upgrades can only be attained by spending real money. While Mihoyo is generous enough to give rewards in the form of currencies so that you can access lootboxes by simply grinding the game, it is however a slow grind, and I believe it is practically impossible to max out any of your characters by relying on the freebies.

    Additionally, there are only a very limited amount of weapons and weapon types available in-game, and surprise surprise they are all locked behind lootboxes. Moreover, the simplistic skill system and lack of more enemy types make the combat minimalistic, if not shallow for what you would call an RPG game, even if it's on mobile.

    Don't get me started on a resource system that limits your ability to obtain rewards by consuming "resins", which are units that refreshes over time. Of course, you can spend real money to expedite the attainment of this resource.

    The game also sports a poorly executed multiplayer mode. Genshin Impact's coop system lacks content, activities and it does nothing to encourage you to play multiplayer. It's a nice addition, but it is an afterthought.

    Literally a BOTW clone. A game with 90% of it's content based off of another shows almost no originality. A game with no originality deserves no praise. Just a copy paste.

    The game is just great. Especially if you don't forget that it's free! I just sympathize with all the disgruntled critics who sit there for days trying to collect all the characters and spending thousands of dollars. You have clearly forgotten what it is to play and enjoy.

    The game is surprisingly good, especially for a free one. Just try it and see for yourself.

    First off, the good stuff. Visuals and Music were both very nice and polished, and the cooking system was decent as well. The way different elemental attacks interact was also interesting.

The way different elemental attacks interact was also interesting.

    Now to the not so great stuff. Having Gacha mechanics in a (mainly) single player open world RPG is an embarrassment to the genre. Imagine playing Skyrim and instead of getting a cool Daedric weapon from finishing a special questline, you could only get that weapon by getting lucky and spending IRL money. It's dumb to have in a game like this at all, regardless of how necessary it is to progress or not.

    Speaking of progression, while working through the main story, I got to a part where I could not continue until I hit a certain "Adventure" level. Again, this is something that should not even be in an open world RPG. You should be free to explore and take on whatever quests whenever you want, not be roadblocked because you haven't hit some arbitrary level. This is actually what made me uninstall the game in the end.

    While the combat was interesting with its use of different elements and their interactions with each other, I did not enjoy how each character you unlock can only use one type of weapon. It felt tedious to have to level and equip each character individually just because you want to be able to switch weapons and not get bodied by enemies.

    The story wasn't anything special/compelling, but it could get better later on so I won't judge it too harshly here. You also get stuck with an annoying guide NPC that follows you around and talks in the third person.

    Overall, I would say this is a middle of the pack PC game, but a top tier mobile game (depending on how well it runs on phones). It is super polished and has plenty of potential, but does not hit the mark for me. The point of open world games should be to freely explore the world you are in, and the roadblocks presented within this game, with level requirements and relying on Gacha mechanics to get the best gear/characters, keep it from reaching that level of freedom seen in other games within the genre.

    6/10 I'm convinced the only reason this game is getting so much hype is because it is free and has cute anime girls in it.    … Expand

    After playing it for just about a week now since launch, there are some good and bad stuff I can say about the game.
    The world is big and beautiful, graphics is amazing (some can say it's similar to Zelda:BOTW) but the game perfected it in their own unique way. It's a fun game if you love to grind.
    Problem I've been seeing people have, especially my friends, is that you get stuck after    After playing it for just about a week now since launch, there are some good and bad stuff I can say about the game.

    Problem I've been seeing people have, especially my friends, is that you get stuck after AR24 when there's not many things you can do to level up. The game needs more content to be able to level up your adventure rank. Your best bet is your 4 daily mission but that's about it, you can't do much more besides that.
    It's a great F2P game but it has a lot of paid stuff inside the game which is expected so I don't blame them since it is a free game after-all. Many great character are locked behind a gacha system which can be earnt through F2P but VERY difficult unless you pay.
    The cutscenes are great! Definitely a plus from me when it comes to cutscenes but some voice acting can be very cringe, ESPECIALLY Paimon who is basically your companion through your entire journey so you will definitely need to get used to her.
    Co-op is fun to a certain extent. It does get really repetitive after a while since you're doing the exact same thing over and over again. I wish you could do spiral abyss as co-op since that'll definitely make the game more fun. They need to focus more on co-op contents as this is what makes the game unique to Zelda:BOTW. I hope to see more soon.
    My final thoughts is the game is great (not amazing), needs more contents to level up and more contents to do especially with co-op. I can see the game improving as time goes on but right now I think 8/10 is a fair score.    … Expand

    All the 1s and 0s just show why people can't take metacritic seriously.

    Genshin is a gacha game, but it is NOT pay to win, nor a scam. It plays like every other gacha game out there. However even if you aren't a fan of gacha, I recommend trying it. I don't like gacha in general, but the game has a lot more to offer.

    It should be noted that I heavily doubt Mihoyo expected this game to be such a huge hit and they have been listening to fan feedback and making updates/adding more stuff to do over time. Criticisms are a good thing, but I find the 1s a little damn ridiculous.

    Genshin's biggest issue is probably the glitches, which is expected in a huge open world game even from AAA devs. Some glitches are just funny, while others can affect your enjoyment, especially in the Stormterror boss fight.

    The resin system can be restricting, and I agree with lots of people that it should continue to be reworked to allow for more gameplay. The resin system is purposely designed to restrict grinding so you don't burn yourself out, and it doesn't just stop all gameplay. You can still explore, do quests, help other players with their stuff, or just play the game as boss fights and domains aren't locked if you don't have the resin for the rewards. At the moment, even though they recently tried fixing it so you don't have to sign in multiple times for the daily reward, it's still very restricting especially as you get more characters and need more artifacts or exp books.

    You do not need to pay to keep playing either, as I have plenty of fragile resin (resin obtained outside the free resin you get back over time) without paying anything. Chests also give rewards, although not as much as domains and bosses. I do think chests should respawn every month or so, without affecting people's completion of that area. You also will need a lot of monster drops, which are free to obtain as well.

    The game is actually pretty generous. You do NOT need 5 star characters, a lot of the 4 stars are perfectly viable to incredibly good. I don't get why people sleep so hard on 4 stars like Fischl or Ningguang. The game also have a pity system, where you are guaranteed a 4 star after ten rolls and a five star after 90 rolls, assuming you didn't roll a 4 star in those ten rolls or a 5 star in those 90 rolls somehow.

    A lot of complaints I see are about how the game ends. Yea well, games eventually stop having content, that's how games work. Basically, if this game is the only game you are playing for some reason, yes you will run out of things to do. Just put it down and go do something else and come back tomorrow. I get the complaints, but it is designed this way purposely to keep people playing on a daily basis, because games are a service now. Basically every free game does this and even regular games are turning to it. I don't recall seeing people get upset that they run out of things to do in Animal Crossing every day.

    The game itself is a load of fun. The fact it has co-op is amazing. I have some beef with it, like being unable to get chests or talk to certain important NPCs, and it'd be nice to go through the story together like Monster Hunter. But overall, a genius addition that adds a lot of depth to the game.

    The battle system is surprisingly well done, and every character is unique in how they fight and what they excel in while allowing for some wiggle room with the artifact system. You switch between four characters to mix elements to maximize your damage or get advantages over enemies, such as ice freezing enemies that are wet. Course, this can all happen to you too, and sometimes the game is cruel enough to put an ice and water mage together.

    The game's music is splendid, normally very relaxing without getting annoying or boring like BOTW's soundtrack.

    The characters all have detailed backstories and the story is pretty extensive. A lot of it is cliche anime nonsense, but if you like that sort of thing like I do, you'll enjoy it nonetheless. As you obtain more copies of a character you learn more and more about their stories (or just look them up). The game also has plenty of humor and meme worthy content enough to get an entire subreddit. The characters can be tropey but in a fun way, especially since there are so many of them, and they have a purpose to the story as well.

    Overall, it is a very enjoyable game that is held back a bit by bugs/kinks and the f2p model. If this game was $60 outright with some characters as guaranteed DLC like smash bros, I'd buy it instantly. While the resin system is restrictive, it has a ton of content, a free open world to explore, enjoyable characters and fun gameplay that you can share with your friends. It's def worth checking out even if you hate gacha, and if you eventually get bored or run out of things to do, hopefully you least had a fun experience up to that point.

    Overall 8/10, held back by its issues but a very fun game that is free to try out.    … Expand

    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.

    This is a really fun open world exploration game, which was clearly very inspired by breath of the wild. It has its rough edges and the gacha system is not particularly generous, but overall I'm really enjoying all of the game mechanics and the combat is really fun and unique.

    It shows the potential of what we can expect and how the world works, once you get into the lore of the game you might get lost inside it..
    And with Updates dropping every month and allegedly new maps and regions with new story-lines dropping soon, it will keep most of the casual player and Dolphins (Minimum Spenders) like me happy..

    It's a well built gacha game that has game-play that is beyond a traditional gacha games and hence lot of non gacha players join don't understand a thing and drop a lot of money into it and say it's bad..
    As a matter of fact you don't need to drop anything into the game to enjoy it..

    The monetization is also better than most Gachas but as it's still a Gacha Game of course it will have that type of monetization..
    Best way to "improve" the game for the masses is to try to make Mihoyo (Company behind the game) understand they are in new territory and should change their monetization according to it..

    PS : I will Update this review as ore content is added..

    PPS : Only money i spent till now is on 1 Welkin Moon.. But i got 2 5 stars already before that, no reroll BS too.. And if i have luck might get another 5 star soon, will update here..

In the main story, you have to select four characters on the field in, each characters have different skill, attacks and elements. There is a tricks that you can combines the elements and get more stronger attack. The story quest and dialogue are interesting but also the weakest parts, the story conversation is completely okay to skip it, it ‘s so long and I surely that most of player also skip it. In some quest that have to find something, it’s hard to find them but it’s still say that it’s on this area, I take long time to find it. The ingredients and equipment is hard to find to make the food or level of the characters and weapon because they are in different area and this game and the map is so big, perhaps you not only to just pick the ingredient in the way but also have to kill the animal such as to get a meat, fish and chicken. In the high level, it hard to defeat the monster if you don’t have high star weapon and characters and can’t go to the next quest because you can’t pass the before quest with low stars. This game is fun but the gacha is so terrible, although you paid many thousands you still can’t get the 5 stars. Sometimes it make me feel dizzy because scene is rotated manually itself.… 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.
