    I don't expect much from the studio that keeps stealing game design idea but I still disappointed anyway.

In the end, if you like to look at flashy graphic and anime girl then this is for you, the gameplay is just water down version of Zelda, Nier, etc. Some people said it does not pay to win, just you wait and see, I played their game before so I know where is this game gonna heading.… Expand

    P2W trash game, copied everything from Zelda BOTW. Doesn't deserve to be published on any other platforms than mobile. The game has the exact same UI n combat system as BOTW, but worse.

    The game has extreme potential but the company is greedy and refusing to change the predatory energy/stamina system called resin. Everything is hard-gated by it and it turns the game into a chore.
    With a few changes the game has extreme potential though.

However, once you get the past all the current content there is nothing to do to level up your Adventure Rank once you are around Rank 30. It becomes more of daily commissions, achievement hunting, chest hunting, resource management and domain/boss grinding just to level up your Adventure Rank, Characters and their Weapons. Characters:
    It is really expensive to level up characters throughout the game. All the free stuff you get from playing the game goes down the drain to level up. It is so bad to where it’s recommended that 2-3 characters are to be focused and even then there’s a struggle to get them fully maxed out. Meanwhile you gain more characters they end up sitting either at a low level unable to be used except just for a quick ability here and there.

    Resin:
    This system is so time gated and completely horrible to where a huge majority of the players have already spoken out about this issue and the only thing that has been done so far will be in a future update where the resin cap is increased from 120 to 160. This does not fix the issue what so ever and just makes players wait even longer for their resin to fully replenish. This system makes it really hard for players to enjoy the game and for YouTubers and Twitch streamers to do their job.

    Events and rewards:
    Upon the release of Genshin Impact there were codes for free primogems that you enter in to get them. With all the codes released that’s a total of 300 Primogems as of now which PS4 missed out on due to the fact they can not claim any of the codes. There has also been a few events already. They have had some login events here, an co op event, an box event and currently an invitation event. From the login events the rewards were okay. Normally with login events the more days you unlock the rewards are supposed to be better. Day 7 gave you 200 primogems which is only enough to roll one time. The Elemental Crucible co op event was not enjoyable at all. You team up with 3 other players and fight waves of enemies while collecting cubes and depositing them. This was an event where the players just keep going over and over until they are completely done and never touch the event again. The event was poorly optimized and had issues with players glitching out to where they show up running in place for the other players and were also unable to pickup or deposit cubes. The box event was a daily event where you collect rewards from a Liyue merchant somewhere in the world. Recently an giveaway event started within the Official Genshin Server on Discord. With the rewards being an IPhone 12 Pro Max 256 GB to 1 lucky winner, 5000 winners for Blessings of the Welkin moon and 50 primogems to 50,000 people. The rewards again regarding their in game rewards are lack luster again. The Welkin moon pass being $5 and 50 primogems being less than you earn from your daily commissions in game. This event is for their discord server being #1 and there are people out there that can’t even participate because their discord server is full. Gacha:
    In order to unlock characters that you do not obtain by unlocking in game the others are locked behind the games Gacha system. Primogems are used to roll for characters at the price of 160 Primogems for 1 roll and 1,600 Primogems for 10 rolls. Their in game pity system for 4-star characters is great. On the other hand the pity system for their 5-star characters is horrible. The wanderlust banner in game is a complete trap when it comes to rolling in that specific banner. If you are unlucky to get a 5-star in 89 rolls will get one on your 90th roll. In the Wanderlust banner this can either be a 5-star weapon you already have or don’t have or a character you already have or don’t have. It costs $200 roughly to hit the pity for a 5-star. The only banner worth rolling for 5-stars is in the rate up banners where again if you are unlucky and hit the pity it’s a 50% chance for the rate up character and based off the other 5-stars in the banner it’s a 12.5% chance for those. The rates are the worst in gacha history with a 0.6% for a 5-star and in the Wanderlust being a 0.3% for a character. The Developers for Genshin Impact should really take a page out of Azur Lane’s book.    … Expand

There have been a lot of complaints about it, be it CN players or global players... They said that they have listened to our voice, but guess what? Instead of increasing the rate of resin regen, we get increased resin cap instead!? We asked for more water but given bigger cup?? How does that make sense? If we are not getting an increase in regen rate then bigger cap does not change anything. Previously we need to log in twice a day, burn resin in 10 minutes for trash items and log out, now they give us a QoL that is you only need to log in once a day, burn your resin in 10 mins and don't bother play the game again until the next day at the same day time. This is the problem of endgame players with slow content updates from developers, until they truly listened to players' voice, this review stands at 0 rating!… Expand

    Can't even call it a gacha game when you can roll for at most twice a week due to it's in game currency income. Needs more resin too, nothing to do after 20 minutes of gameplay once you're few hours deep into the game.

This game looks very adorable and fun to play with your kids on the surface, but DON'T TRUST IT. Aguilar, as you can see from Three Houses and Demon Slayer, is known for driving people into dark and dangerous situations with the works he directed and developed. And Genshin... is no exception. The game begins with two twins fighting a "unknown god" who kidnaps one of them, and the one you play as needs to find them. Now, how do they not know who the "unknown god" is? And then a few years after, the focused-on twin fishes.... a small human girl. Imagine fishing a human girl. The girl becomes the twin's slave who is forced to help them on their journey. And they call her names such as "breakfast food". Yes, the main character of the game is a cannibal. On their journey, the twin takes many people as slaves by summoning them, including the whole government of a kingdom and even some gods. Yes, the main character is that powerful and unstoppable. One of the gods is alcoholic and he heavily promotes drinking to children. Part of the government of that kingdom is a librarian who, if you put the language to Japanese, has a very sexual voice, and her grunts come straight out of a dirty movie. What a terrible hidden message. Oh, and did I mention that you have to pay real money for in-game currency, which you use to summon your slaves? Which means that you are paying REAL MONEY to buy VIRTUAL SLAVES. Please, I swear.

    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.

    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

    Micro transactions like Crazy, Why is Resin a thing? Even if i dont spend money, its an insanely tedious game and its designed to be that way.

    Initially this game is decent, but after a couple of hours all the fault start to show through and the gameplay becomes pretty shallow. I've played a dozen or so gachas, and Genshin Impact is just average for the category. It doesn't have any major faults, but also doesn't stand out in any way whatsoever.

I've played a dozen or so gachas, and Genshin Impact is just average for the category. It doesn't have any major faults, but also doesn't stand out in any way whatsoever.

    Combat is fairly boring. A majority of the enemies have invulnerability shields that need to be destroyed by using abilities from certain elements. So bullet sponges abound. Strong enemies also add in oversized explosions to their attacks, so you spend a lot of time running away. You're not really dodging at this point. It run away, and then run in briefly to attack, and then run away again. Managing stamina during a fight is pretty important, so it's very annoying that you can't toggle running on/off. You're forced to stop and pause for a moment to stop running. Did I mention that you spend a lot of time running away from enemy attacks in this game?

    The gacha rate is very bad, and currency is fairly stingy. You may not need the fancy characters to complete content, but it really takes away the fun of pulling for characters when the rates are so low. Also, there are no 3* characters to get from the gacha. You just get a 3* weapon instead, which is typically converted to experience for an existing weapon. This really hurts new players and prevents them from trying out different weapon types and elements.

    You're further restricted from experimenting with new characters by the world level. As you increase adventure rank, the creatures of the world level up. This keeps areas from becoming useless due to low levels, but also renders any new character you acquire as useless till you can level them up to the current standard of your team. At adventure rank 31, I need to level a character up to 50 (feeding them a bunch of materials to unlock those levels) before I can put them in a team and see how they play. This isn't a trivial matter, since all my resources right now get spent leveling my team of 4. There's not much to spare for raising a 5th.

    Finally, after you've finished all of the quests, the game doesn't give you a lot of motivation to keep playing and improving your team. Normally, Gacha games have regular events to keep players engaged and logging in. The regular content updates is one of the things that makes Gacha games fun to play.

    I could probably keep going on for another couple of paragraph ranting about all the various issues that this game has. The core concept of the game is nice and interesting, but they missed on a lot of the details that are needed to make the experience fun and enjoyable for the players.    … Expand

    This game could have do way better, but well it's a Gacha, and after having realized how down bad I was, I finally realize all of that

    Don't worry for me, I have a girlfriend now and I found back my independence, and I'm not spending on gacha anymore

That coupled with their shady and bad gambling practices while also admiting their disregard for the community just makes this game feel like a big cashgrab with no passions unlike other Gachas like Destiny Child and Honkai.

    Just so you understand, for original players, we had two regins to explore, and we had to wait for almost A YEAR to get a new main region, which was delivered in small chunks at a time because they have to milk it one by one. So what were we left with? A tiny region called Dragonspine that was explored in one day, and then countless mindless events of food delivery and item gathering events that would make you even MORE bored than if you were just waiting around.

    There's no content. The only good content they've released in the past 6 months besides Inazuma was a dungeon crawling sort of event, that was removed after two weeks even though everyone wanted it to be a permanent feature.

    If you don't care for any of that and just want a game that blows Breath of the Wild out of the water for its first 50 hours, then play this game and stop there. The more you get into it the more you hate it.    … Expand

I've barely got to Inazuma because of how much time I have to grind. There's not a lot of stuff to grind with except for daily adventure commissions and they're usually very short, thus makes it only possible for me to play this game for 30 minutes per day. How dumb is that! I can only play this game for as long as a child can for any game and I'm nearly grown. I even have to grind for side quests and side quests are usually supposed to help me grind for main missions, but not in this game. The gameplay is repetitive and boring. The domains, or dungeons, are boring and repetitive. The combat is not difficult except for the bosses. Some of the bosses are unbeatable without certain characters, usually five stars. Did I forget to mention that this is one of these free gacha games that are littered with micro transactions? I'm fine with a few micro transactions, but this is ridiculous. I was tempted so many times to spend money, but I didn't. I like to suffer playing bad games like these. The story is ass and predictable. Outside of their abilities, most of the characters are not interesting and get no development. I won't lie. The girls are fine, but hot girls won't convince me to continue playing this trash. The graphics are amazing, there is pretty good voice acting, and the game can be fun at times, but that's all the positives. This game is just bootleg Breath of the Wild. This game is overrated garbage and proves that most people who play video games don't have good tastes. I can't rate this dumpster fire more than a 2/10.

    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!
