    Juego gacha muy caro y ni siquiera con un login diario gratuito, El juego a decepcionado muchísimo a su comunidad, dónde en su aniversario no da nada para ellos, espero que recapaciten y den recompensas como en todos los gachas que existe.

    It's one of the best looking cell-shaded "BotW" games out there, with chill, well composed music but that's where the good stuff ends. The performance is choppy.

    Many Chinese players don't like this game, it is their reason: MHY's games' feature: Great Graphic, it asks you to spend a lot of time on farming this game every day（especially you have played above 20 hours) & copy other game's features, especially characters & action

    A free-to-play-to-pay-win anime-inspired open-world, RPG gacha game created by miHoYo, released September 28, 2020 publicly. Touted for being one of the most advanced gacha games on the market to date. The game is heavily focused on exploring and grinding items, gear and materials to level up characters. Majority of these characters can be obtained through the system known as "wishing"A free-to-play-to-pay-win anime-inspired open-world, RPG gacha game created by miHoYo, released September 28, 2020 publicly. Touted for being one of the most advanced gacha games on the market to date. The game is heavily focused on exploring and grinding items, gear and materials to level up characters. Majority of these characters can be obtained through the system known as "wishing" where most desired/popular characters are locked behind a very low success rate of less than 1%.

    The story/plot revolves around a brother/sister who can cross worlds and dimensions at their whim. Depending on who you choose, the other will be trapped by an unknown god and your chosen character will be stranded on a planet, stripped of all their powers. After a timelapse cutscene you are introduced to Paimon, the most annoying character since Navi...before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it! [slams table]

    Playing on PS4 has been difficult as constant connection errors, severe lag, and frame-rate drops are an issue. While the game is fairly nice looking...the game, for the most part, is barren, very uninspired and clings to all the anime tropes to convince "otakus", "Weeaboos" and those with addictive personality disorders to spend mind-numbing amounts of money (primarily aimed at wealthy (in stupidity) players who like to brag about being "whales") on a gambling system with little to no actual return.

    The characters are nothing but generic anime tropes. "witch girl" "brooding and powerful dark knight" "500 year old child character" etc...most characters are easily in their teens as they all are shorter than every NPC in the game (with a very few amount of actual looking adults). Which leads me to believe it's a game aimed to sell a slot machine to young and impressionable youth.

    The MC (who is easily in their teens in appearance), for being a god that travels worlds and is hundreds of years old themselves act and sound maddingly inexperienced in everything. They easily get duped by NPC's and played like a fool. They are a god! I expect them to at least try to act like they know what they are doing. voice acting, for the most part, is serviceable.

    Often times dialogue does not match subtitles and at the very lease is hilarious at times. Treasure chests are placed in the most obscure places. often times on a hill where contents will roll down hills as they grow legs and laugh at you as pathetically chase it in vain. World level is pathetic attempt to conceal powercreep that will always keep your characters underpowered forcing you to level (or purchase) upgrades. It literally serves no other purpose. The only way to outpace this powercreep is to focus on one character pushing their power beyond the "world level" difficulty....temporarily. You WILL eventually fall behind the curve, maybe not in the content now but eventually. The items you get from higher world levels are basically repackaged lower level stuff with higher stats. Essentially keeping you on the hamster wheel of perpetuity.

    Now I'm not saying the gacha is terrible in itself. The gacha part could be better and more inclusive of people who have a sane level of reasonable value. I think if they weren't trying to sell their used Toyota Corolla's like they are new Lamborghinis then there wouldn't be so many upset people. Doing the math you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars, something around $365 for a guaranteed 5* which may not even be the character you want. Then let's throw in the fact that you have to roll 6 of the same character just to max a character and you'd have to be on some drugs to think one character is worth a month's worth of rent for the average person.

    fanboys will argue, "well you don't have to spend money." which just comes off as snobby elitism. Let's be real, these are infinitely reproducible characters that hold no intrinsic value. This argument falls in the "if you don't like it, leave" and the "if she didn't dress so sexy, she wouldn't have been raped," level of stupidity. why do videogame companies get to ignore the basic fundamentals of supply and demand of economics because of some dumb youtubers who promote the gambling aspect up the ass? You could scale costs to be more inclusive. first bundle of 10000 gems per month. $10, second $20, third $30. etc...at least give lower $ players a **** chance. They could also just put the characters for a price, 1 Diluc = $15, why is that so wrong but gambling $365 is so right? That way everyone gets to choose the way they get the character. why not let us control world level to be more inclusive of people in many skill levels? Before you start mouthing off, remember, it's a single player game and everything someone does in their world has zero impact on you. Fanboys will fanboy and when it comes to gacha games the Stockholm syndrome is strong.    … Expand

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

    I love the characters' interaction in this game, except for the MC, but at least, Paimon makes the interaction around the MC more interesting.

The battle is interesting, especially the elemental reaction in this game. I love combining elemental reaction in a fight. The story, even though it is not the greatest story I have seen, but it is not that bad. The huge world can be a pro or a con for a player, as it would be interesting to explore the huge world, but also it is extremely exhausting to explore it.

    Some people say that this game is not for F2P. I admit that we need money (and a lot of luck) to get the best characters and weapons in this game. Not to mention the resources needed to level up those characters and the weapons. But even without paying money, I still can enjoy this game a lot.

    I'm AR 38 and haven't spent any money in this game. My team consists of 4 stars characters, my weapons can be forged at blacksmith, and I still can play most of the content in this game. Defeating the enemies took longer, sure, but that's all. Well, it is difficult to beat the time challenges (Abyss), but it is not a problem since even with somewhat weaker characters, I still can enjoy most of the content of the game.

    However, even with all the pros I mentioned above, I still feel that the resin is bad. Like, really bad, that it makes an 8/10 game becomes a 6/10 game (or even less). I believe most people that play in console and PC will spend at least three hours or even more playing a game. Especially when they can only play in the weekends, they may spend their entire weekends playing the game. But the resin is limiting the playtime. It is not bad for mobile games, but it is not good for console and PC games. Daily commissions and killing three world bosses only take half an hour to an hour. After that, there is nothing to do.

    Yes, there is nothing to do, since for someone who have finished all the quests, including the side quests and opened most of the chests in this huge world, there is really nothing to do in this game.

    Like people said, the world becomes barren once you do all the quests. Exploring the world once again to look for chests is not worth it. The monsters are too weak and not challenging enough to make the games fun. Also, even though the level of the monsters increase, the rewards from them is still the same, aside of the materials for ascending characters or weapons. The experience is minuscule that you can ignore it. The mora (the currency of the game) is also like a drop of water in ocean. It is not rewarding at all grinding for monsters, so, there's nothing to do after doing all the quests besides doing daily commissions, that somehow becomes a chore rather than a fun thing to do in a game.

    Want to increase your level by killing monsters? Theoretically, it's possible, you only have to kill thousands or even tens of thousands to increase your level by one. If the world is not so huge, it will be easy to kill ten thousand monsters, but in this game, because the world is huge, it took a lot of time just to go from one monster's camp to another. So, yeah, theoretically, it is possible to increase your level by grinding monsters, but practically, I don't think anyone would intentionally grind like that.

    So, in my opinion, this is really not a game for console and PC. Or even if you want to play in console or PC, play it as a side-game. Or don't play it at all, as it is not designed for console and PC gamers.    … Expand

    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.

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 becomesGenshin impact started of strong, the release of this game bringing a huge open world with tons of stuff to explore, cool characters with different personalities that you can obtain and an interesting storyline the game itself is amazing. 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

Would i feel better about it if the game developer gave us a solid release schedule and prices? Yes.

    I am having a huge amount of fun with this game. I went in with a highly suspicious attitude due to the free gacha format and it being a BOTW clone. At Adventure level 20, I do not see an obvious push to have to spend money to win the game. The potential is there so I am holding out until endgame for a final judgement. But I am using all the free characters and do not feel hobbled.

    Things I enjoy about this game:Huge world to explore, developed lore, game rewards exploration. Things I do not like: online connection required, gacha format, timed energy stamina for opening certain chests, crafting material gated to day of the week, feeling guilty about BOTW cloneness.

    Here is the why I forgive myself for the BOTW cloneness....no weapon durability! It such a relief to explore a BOTW type world without your weapon breaking every few fights.

    You need to spend over 600$ to complete the game, after level 35 its just an addictive gambling scheme, people underage shouldn't be allowed to play it. And if you think its a gatcha game well, it is not unfortunately. With gashapons you actually have a sense of what you arespending and are not Lurex in an addictive spending pattern to complete the game.you are spendi

    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!
