    Mobile games shouldn't belong on console. Rubbish Gambling mechanic. Trashy.

    I hate this game. It was interesting at first but then gets very boring the more you play it. The characters are bland and forgettable. The gacha system is horrible and stupid, it uses an ingame currency called primogems to obtain characters and weapons, to get these primogems you either have to find chests and complete quests or take out the credit card. The game is very **** and lazy. II hate this game. It was interesting at first but then gets very boring the more you play it. The characters are bland and forgettable.

I wish it wasn't a gacha game and only a single player game with a good story and characters and not this **** I'm so glad I deleted it that **** took up all my damn storage. Even though its free I still do NOT recommend this game. There are far better games out there to play and not like this pedo bait anime pile of trash. **** this game.… Expand

    While the game has interesting mechanics and visuals, the story is lack luster and is a complete rehash of Breath of the wild, thank you for listening to my Ted talk

    El juego habría estado muy bien si no fuera por que es un saca dineros descarado, ni en su aniversario hicieron regalos potentes a su comunidad, esta todo enfocado a que gastes dinero y eso hace que acabes dejando el juego si no quieres arruinarte u ofuscarte.

    The game on ps4 is really awful. The performance is poor and it has a lot of problems. Also, it is full of bugs and limitations during the co-op mode. The story is written really badly, probably the dialogues were done by a software automatically, because they don't make any kind of sense. They probably did it to increase the hours of play.

    Also, the gacha system is horrible. The only good thing of this game is the open world map

    The base game seems pretty well made and the open world is very good. However, it's still a predatory gacha game that prays on your money and will often end up forcing you to spend way more than you'd spend on any AAA game just to progress, and the abundance of child characters in questionable clothing really drove me away as well

    Genshin impact is one of those rare games that has literally zero redeeming features. It’s about as far from fun as you can get

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

    this version of the game is an absolute joke. thankfully the game runs perfect on ps5 but this version sucks with **** ass lag and stuttering. the game is notorious for the worst community going with people dumping on people and voice actors calling their fantasy weird even though they also are part of the people with weird ass bloody fantasies that does not matter at all

    Toxic community, Characters not worth pulling, company is too stingy.

    If you don't spend money you will get disapointed.

    They still haven't fixed Monas C1 after 2 years. The devs don't care about bugs unless they reduce their profit. Just shows how much the devs don't care about the game or the community.

    Genshin Impact is a well above average RPG to which we will dedicate many hours, but that gets lost in a monetization system typical of the gacha genre that sometimes demands too much from us. However, the free to play experience is wonderful offering us a beautiful and colorful world that can boast an absurdly good character design and a story capable of keeping us hooked.

    Genshin Impact is part of a wave of titles from China that is slowly eroding the bad stereotype that Chinese devs are devoid of creativity and skill. While the initial comparisons are there, Genshin Impact does go beyond to distinguish itself…now if only the gacha rates and the free primogem are better I would have no hesitation recommending the title.

    Genshin Impact might not be the most original game in a lot of respects, but it certainly has a wealth of things to offer players should they still be willing to give it a chance. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my time with it, and I plan to continue playing once future updates are implemented. The fact that it can be played for free is also quite impressive given just how much time you can invest in the game, especially with people perhaps staying at home more and being on a budget. All in all, Genshin Impact is a surprisingly solid action RPG adventure!
