    Unbelievably fun and beautiful for a free to play game that you can play on your phone. The music and design of the world is amazing, I love most of the characters, and the story and gameplay is great. I've had a ton of fun playing so far and I'd absolutely recommend checking it out.

    Excellent PVE exploration game. The story really keeps you going and the magistral exploration will keep you busy for days. Microtransactions don't impact the experience and it is totally doable to play the game for free for at least the first 20 or 30 hours.

    One of the most fun open world game created. And for the price of $0. No, you don't need spend anything unless you want to have the absolute best team in a single player game...

    When it comes to a free-to-play, Genshin Impact surpasses all of my expectations. The gameplay is sweet, the characters are nice and the microtransations (suprisingly) aren't abusive. I truly recommend the game for anyone who wants to have a good time.

    Pros:
    -Free to play
    -In-game currencies are easily farmed to roll Gachas, no need to spend real money ever unless youre impatient / greedy - Large open world with tons of secrets -Strong music score -Simple combat but engaging elemental system -Diverse characters that hit many anime tropes (could be a con) -Lots of loot to manage and collect -Surprisingly decent voice acting, even    Pros:

    -Simple combat but engaging elemental system
    -Diverse characters that hit many anime tropes (could be a con)
    -Lots of loot to manage and collect
    -Surprisingly decent voice acting, even for the mascot character
    -Freeform navigation like in BOTW but without the problems of rain making it impossible to move and panting when running out of stamina.
    -Charming art style
    -Lots of quests and daily activities
    -You will have your waifus and husbandos
    -Surprisingly interesting story, if not a bit cliche (chosen-one isekai)
    -Co-op
    -Bosses found in the world are all unique and interesting in terms of attack patterns etc.
    -Combat, though simple, still feels good and each character has unique and engaging abilities to experiment with.
    -Lots of equips to micromanage (could be a con)

    Cons:
    -Drop rates on rare item/characters are extremely low outside of the guaranteed "every 10 rolls" pity reward.
    -Economy is very convoluted with more than 7 different currencies to track.
    -There is a mascot character (may be a pro of you're a masochist)
    -World is not empty, but only largely filled with common encounters and chests that offer little reward in the short term (supposed to be farmed in large numbers for character growth drops)
    -Having only unlocked the first 3 areas, the environments are still all relatively samey. About 80% of the map looks like "Hyrule Field" (grass and cliffs) with a small potion being mountains or wetlands. the Chinese-inspired settings in some parts are nice.
    -Unintuitive menus that makes quickly micromanaging the gear of several characters a huge chore
    -Co-op unlocked only after about 10-15 hours of play (can be faster or longer depending on how you tackle it )
    -Co-op has restrictions in place limiting the kinds of quests playable with friends and limiting the visitor's drops (they can't steal the host's world chests)
    -Not a huge diversity in common enemies - you will mostly be fighting slimes and goblins.
    -Very slow to level characters even after just early game.
    -Low frame rates in cinematics and some frame drops during gameplay
    -Map is slow to navigate with limited stamina and lack of mounts, along with fast travel spots not always placed in the most useful locations (though many are at least NEAR important areas)
    -As late game approaches, will likely need to wait real time to allow resources to replensih or invest real money into resources to allow for farming rarest materials (I have not gotten to that point yet though)
    -There is no way to set a custom waypoint on the map for which to travel towards via minimap (though you can place markers to indicate points of interest on the world map)
    -Armor / accessories you equip do not change your appearance (only entire outfits are options)

    Overall impression: If you like BOTW you will like this. It lacks the polish and the compact, rich world, but scratches that same itch. Basically trades the physics sandbox for RPG elements and a grind/chase. For a game that's free and with a very unintrusive gacha system, it's a no brainer.    … Expand

    I think that it is a good (free) video game; i don't see a problem if it is similar to zelda like the fanboys said because it's free; you don't pay for it to play. In the other side; problems with perfomance can be solve with the time ; so it's stup#d be angry for this now. Only play the game if you like it. If not use good reasons to put a bad rating

    People calling this pay to win are way off base. This is a SINGLE PLAYER GAME... hence it really can't be pay to win.

He has just as many 5 star units as i do, tbh, i use 4 star weapons over the 5 star weapns because you can refine them & make them 30xs better than a base 5start item that you will never be able to refine. These people played for 5 minutes & didn't get anything good off their free wishes & stopped playing bc they didn't get the character they wanted & are not on here screaming "It's pay to win".

    Take it from someone who's only purpose in life is videogames.. this games IS NOT pay to win. This game HAS a great story. This game IS fun if you're an anime fan looking for a good ARPG. Anyone who PLAYS longer than 30 minutes finds out this game is way more than a zelda clone. You can either bask in ignorance, or you can have a good time. It's up to you. I wholy recomend trying it before you condemn it as a p2w game with no PVP... gah, how dumb do you have to be to thing a Story/adventure driven rpg can be p2w bc of mostly cosmetic movesets & characters LOL    … Expand

I spent the first 3 hours of the game wondering how it was possible for a game of this level to be free!!! The premise: you can play perfectly on your own! You are absolutely not obliged to spend money to continue the story. However, 5 dollars are willingly given to such talented producers. Second premise: it resembles Zelda BOTW only in the color palette and for the stamina bar. Nothing else. The fight is totally different, you will use 4 characters with different elemental abilities, at any time you can switch the character with the one most suitable to face the enemy on duty. The whole thing is terribly fun and well crafted. Each character is very different from the other, with his weapons and peculiar characteristics. But let's come to the technical sector: spectacular! For my taste, the character design is amazing, much closer to Hayao Miyazaki's anime style than Zelda's. Beautiful animations, a huge and colorful world to explore, millions of objects to collect, in short, is paradise for those who love JRPG!!! Not to mention the amazing footage that tells us the story! The only flaw, the game menu is not easy to understand at first, but it is part of its charm. The game will then be supported for years with various expansions of the world and characters. I mean, WOw!… Expand

But Honestly the game gives you a lot of the "premium" currency through game-play and while the drop rates could definitely be better they also could be much much worse. So it's not really "pay to win" it's more like "pay for expedited progress." The game does take a lot of inspiration from Breath of the Wild that is obvious with it's world exploration but it also adds on to that with multiplayer and no terrible durability system that renders weapons useless after a single battle so there is that.… Expand

    Genshin impact copies botw in some very obvious areas. However, it retains its own identity. Some are apposed to putting gotcha games on console, yet it is a free game. From the hours i have put into it, there seems to be no need to pay any money, you can win with any character.

As someone who has put forth actual money to purchase some of the game's additional features I Can say wholeheartedly with no hesitation even if I had not done that I would still be enjoying this game immensely.

    Is this game perfect? No, it isn't but at the same time I find that anything really negative I have to point out would be either nitpicking or petty. Now I do admit I wish they did have some sort of offline mode just in case they may have some type of potential server(s) issues preventing users from logging in. As far as my connection for the 4 days I have been playing I have not had any relative lag or logging in issues.

    I'm sure at sometime in the future when this game is to a certain point they will probably insert some sort of 'payment wall' but as for now this is an absolute delight to play. I hope everyone is enjoying it as immensely as I am.    … Expand

The story is ok, somewhat tropeish but manages to stay intriguing. Cell-shaded graphics give it a colorful vibe and it's fleshed out further with the amazing towns, landscapes and peoplethat inhabit it. Yes, this is a gacha.

    I'm having an awesome time with this game, and I can't believe it's free to play. So far the atmosphere, music, and exploration elements have me hooked. Combat is pretty fun and fast paced, but definitely not the focal point of the game. I wanted something to fill the void that BOTW left, and this is kind of doing it for me so far.

    From a gameplay perspective, I find the game quite enjoyable. It plays very well on my PS4 Pro, though there are occasional stutters. A plus is that I enjoy Japanese anime, so its art style resonates well with me. I'm still early on enough that I can't yet comment on how the story will progress, but so far it's been pretty good.

    As for monetization, well, it all depends on how you view mobile-style gacha games. I play them, as F2P, and some I enjoy. However, I think Genshin Impact will have the same problem getting my money as most--the value for the dollar is hard for me to consider good (though TBH I haven't yet felt compelled to look at the prices all that much). For example, in Fate/Grand Order, I recently pulled from the gacha (using free currency) to get a 5*, and if I had bought it, it would have cost me over $450. I don't expect a lot different here, but that's OK with me if the free option provides enough decent characters, even if not the best. Things like the resin system are also ubiquitous in gacha games, so nothing I find particularly different.

    BTW, one thing I might add is that I've tried it on mobile (a phone), and I can't say that I like the controls--using a virtual joystick is something that I'm not really good at, and I think you would have trouble pulling off combos as well. Perhaps if you attach a controller it would be better, but it's somewhat amusing that a game with such mobile-roots probably plays the worst there.    … Expand

    Such a great game, it's by no means perfect, but there is so much quality and thought placed here, it's impossible not to recommend it. Don't let the gatcha mechanics draw you away from it, yes it's not a perfect system, but if you want to stay free to play like me, you can actually do that. It's such a shame everything that this games accomplishes is ignored by the imperfections every game has.

    I don't want to like this game as much as I currently do, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

    First the negatives:

    -Chinese Rootkit: the anticheat is straight up malware, and the Devs being based in china means everything the game collects on your computer will find it's way to the CCP. For the love of all that is good and holy, DO NOT install this game on any device that holds sensitive or personal information. I dusted off my PS4 for precisely that reason. It's also supposedly coming out on the Switch down the road.

    -You CANNOT delete your account on PS4: Feel cheated that the male MC turns out to be a femboy and want to switch to the much more classy female MC? Hope you're willing to create another PSN account.

    -Poor performance on PS4: The game lags and stutters pretty significantly. Attacks that hit many enemies at once will land you massive frame drops, and the game frequently eats your inputs. Given the success of this game, there's a chance this will be improved down the road.

    -Gacha: The game is designed and optimized for people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a slot machine. It will seem like you don't need to spend money at first, but it flips a switch once you've played enough to become invested in the game. The game is still technically playable without paying money at that point, but it halts you from gaining exp or advancing any of the other RPG mechanics once you've depleted your allotted daily resources.

    -Terrible Voiceacting (English): it's just bad. Their voices feel like knives in my ears. Luckily you can skip dialogue, but there are some unskippable cutscenes.

    -The Tutorial: The first 30 minutes of this game are a complete slog, as the game bombards you with exposition and dialogue. It'll be ~20 minutes of terrible voiceacting before you can finally go off and explore, and even then there are a bunch of story set-pieces to watch before the training wheels actually come off.

    -Shameless BotW clone: This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but everything about this game is derivative. There is nothing original about the game, its mechanics, its story, or its music. If you can get past that....

    Now the positives:

    Simply put, Genshin Impact improves on BotW's formula in many ways. In just the first few hours of gameplay, the game already has more enemy variety than BotW, and enemy encounters are a lot more varied. Each character also has a different playstyle, some more unique than others. The game straignt-up gives you 4 characters for free, and if you're lucky enough to unlock more, the gameplay can get pretty varied. The soundtrack has more variation than BotW, making the game feel much less monotonous (literally). The game's quests feel much more carefully designed to lead you to different corners of the map, which has a ton of secrets and surprises just like BotW. There's also no weapon degradation, which has the downside of making chests less exciting, but the upside is that there's no drawback to engaging enemies in combat (if you're skilled enough). The story is more involved, and does a much better job of providing context and agency to the game. There is also a good amount of sidequests, none of which are particularly mind-blowing, but are more involved than your typical "kill 10 rats" trash quest.

    Overall, I think Genshin Impact is worth giving a shot. I plan to drop the game when the Gacha gets too bad, but I'm ~8 hours in and I've enjoyed my time in game so far (except the first 30 minutes).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rarely review on a game but here goes my opinion after playing for 10+ hours. To begin with, this is a very solid game even if it's not F2P. I can say it's better than a lot of 60$ games out there. Yes the game probably gets a lot of ideas from BoTW but I feel it’s more like a fusion of a lot of other games like Nier:A, FFXV, Xenoblade, and HZD, which I don’t mind anyway.
    Even though this is a free game, it’s not a play to win game like some people stated (as least up until the point I am now). The characters you got from story progress are good enough. Everything can be upgraded by farming (apart from constellation?). They even stated there how you can get the materials for the upgrade materials. The loots are surprisingly generous too for a F2P game.

    Pros:
    Beautiful graphic
    Fantastic character design
    Interesting combat system
    Music
    WAIFU

    Neutral:
    Pacing. You can’t proceed the story as smoothly as other single player games. You will constantly need to do some side quests and explore the map to increase your adventure rank
    Story. Pretty straight forward too without a whole bunch of lore bothering me
    Dialog is not as tedious and dull as some other games (e.g. DQ XI).

    Cons:
    It doesn’t run smooth on my PS4 slim. Stuttering here and there.
    Some searching the area for certain clue / item side quests are frustrating. But it’s common in open world games anyway.
    The map is too big for my liking, filled with similar groups of monsters and treasure chest.

    So far I am enjoying this game. I love the story line. You get to change characters which is awesome. We get an option to change voice language (amazing) and text language. So you can separate two languages. Character design is cute. it's a great game, great graphics, gameplay, story all of it. Even with the lowest graphics it's still pretty decent compared with other games.

    Really enjoying this game, cannot believe it's can be played on mobile!! The best mobile game I played ever.

    F2P, Played since launch, only spent around 30$ willingly. Game is pve and super ez, you can easily do every part of the game with only the 4 free 4 star they give you at the start.

    TLDR, f2p botw that got (and deserved too) a review bombing for a lack of communication with the comunity. It wont bite you if you try

    I really liked the game, beautiful art, good soundtrack, fun combat and there are varieties of characters to play, I just didn't like the control that you can't change and for me sometimes it is confused for me sometimes

    Let's Begin with the fact that IT'S A FREE TO PLAY game, and, a F2P with
    A LOT of hours of full enjoying, with a system of rewards that gives you a lot of chances to upgrade your characters, a very long story, with good effects, dubbing actors, animations, a BIG open world that it's ALIVE, it's just a VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE, and, yeah, it's free

    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!
