    One of the best games I have ever played.
    I love everything about the game from the outstanding and interesting story and events to the beautifully designed and varied world with an equally beautiful and super fitting soundtrack. I love exploring the world so incredibly much.
    I also really love the different characters, both from the character design and the interesting backstory, and the    One of the best games I have ever played.

    It's definitely a beautiful game with long-term motivation.
    The game is also always improving and new areas, characters, events and so on are added. Also, the multiplayer is very good and it's a lot of fun to enjoy this wonderful game together with other players.

    I can highly recommend this masterpiece in any case.    … Expand

    I criticized this game in 2021 but it was very short, this game is good, I know there are people who are being cruel and angry for being more of a game with microtransactions, but I don't care about the complaints, the game complied, I liked it, I stayed playing like 150 hours in total that I forgot to play the rest of the games, I personally consider the best.

    Genshin Impact is a lot of fun. However, play the PC version or get a PS5. The PS4 version just simply does not run well.

    Tiene un apartado técnico muy bien logrado para ser un juego gratis y por su modelo de juego no es necesario ni invasivo el sistema de micropagos

    Great game with a cool story. Pete can enjoy the story even as f2p and get a character here and there, there is a guaranteedcharacter after a certain amount of pulls, but it can be pricy. Hours of gameplay, many quests, and seasonal events. Beautiful music.

    This is a great game with a LOT of content and guess what? It is totally free and you don't even need strong characters to play the story. The gacha system is only a plus for those who want to play with different characters.
    Again, this criticism comes from babies that probably wanted all the characters for free LMAO.
    You can beat this game with 4* CHARACTERS ONLY.

    Solid 8/10.

We should rate the game's long-term quality rather than for short-term likes and dislikes, and your comments are likely to affect players who want to learn about the game.

    What initially appeared to be a simple Gatch-Anime RPG with a beautiful world and basic combat scheme is quickly turning into one of my favorite gaming experiences. It is essentially fantasy RPG with a unique loot rind combined with a diverse set of funny and unique characters complimented by some well hidden adult humor that will have you laughing out loud.
    The combat flow is fun and actually quite interesting. Basically you choose 4 main characters and switch between them and their skills depending on the enemy, each of their skills and equipment. Without getting to detailed each character has 2 skills multiple passives, a main weapon type and an element! the combination of all these with 3 other character means combat is very dynamic.
    Some final thoughts: Genshin Impact's MSQ and side quests are both easy to follow and interesting while the musical score is simply setting a new level for games and I garuntee you will be talking at least 1 screenshot an hour this game is so pretty . All in all a must play

    Side notes
    The game ran smoothly for me on PS4 pro

    Some of these early reviewers seem to think this game is P2W or P2P and it makes me doubt they made it very far into the game. In addition to being essentially a single player experience (and therefore impossible to be a P2W) the game provides you you with 4 main characters through the MSQ the devs throw "premium" currency at you, send free character pulls in the game mailbox, have characters rewarded for beating in game challenges, and always seem to have a give away event running. At no point did I feel like I couldn't do something because of their monetization scheme but do be careful because gatcha is still gambling and it is incredibly east to spend money without noticing how much you have spent. (This game is way more rewarding to play as a F2P )

    p.s don't get me started on these BOTW haters lmao    … Expand

    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

    So, from the gist of it, most people who have played this played for about a week and realized that they have the patience of a toddler. The game is fair, well balanced, and generous enough for f2p gamers.

    The whole pay wall thing people are crying about doesn’t exist. Everyone has equal chance to get a 5 star, hell, they’ve even given one out for free! There’s minimal difference between 4 and 5 star characters. I literally main 3 4 star characters and have completed everything with ease using them. If you can’t get through this game without 5 star teams, you might want to stick to something less challenging like a nice 32 piece puzzle or something.

    The game is PvE. There’s no reason why anyone here should feel oppressed to the point of spending by this game. There is literally nothing keeping you from accessing the same content p2p gamers get except for leveling materials which are obviously necessary for them due to higher chances of obtaining characters. Grown adults crying about frame rate on a game where you fight monsters that will literally swing at the air and get stuck in a tree…seek help.

    Finally, if your child is prone to a gambling addiction, then idk, be a parent or something. Don’t expect a gaming company to babysit your kids for you. Just say no and send them outside to play with sticks or whatever.    … Expand

    The art style is a beautiful almost watercolor aesthetic, with an intent focus on making sure every ounce of color pops among the gray mountain sides.

Vibrant colors accompany the element they represent as well, whether it be the light green of Aenmo (air) or the gold that signifies Geo (earth) you always have a solid visual indicator of what type of element you’re up against. Accompanying the art is a terrific orchestral mix of cheerful and upbeat music in the town areas, while boss encounters such as the one with Andrius starts off with a tickling piano and builds into a triumphant chorus that adds a punch to an already hectic fight.… Expand

    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!
