    Juegazo sobresaliente. Absurdamente bonito. Con una historia interesante y multitud de personajes carismaticos. Una gozada en la Ps5. Las pegas, la historia rincipal avanza lenta, mucho relleno y algo repetitivo. Pocas recomepensas y gran sacacuartos (opcionalmente). Pero es un juegazo.

    Genshin is a perfect F2P open world game. People sometimes asks a lot from a game which is supposed to be freed and mobile. The world is beautiful, soundtrack is perfect, combat system is amazing. I just love this game!

    Don't spend your money on this game, it's blatant fraud. You might spend $100 just to get a 5-star character, and you might not even get it, it's a 50/50 chance.

I've seen a video of someone spending over $55k and still couldn't upgrade all the characters to C5. Imagine the plight of f2p players.

    The game world is vast and beautiful. The character design is fantastic, and the game elements are good, especially how they can be combined, such as using water to enhance lightning attacks or using wind to strengthen fire attacks. It's really well done. However, if the game was less greedy, it would be one of the best games ever.    … Expand

Outstanding 700 hours in im loving it as much as the first couple of hours and I’ve only scratched the surface, super high quality throughout with maybe one of the best game soundtracks I have ever heard new stuff to do nearly every week, very well supported, give it a go it costs nothing to try it out easy 10… Expand

    About the monetization issues: although the game is indeed a gacha with somewhat high prices, the game is not really pay to win since it's not a PvP game; the main storyline can be played without spending a cent, money is only used to accelerate and optimize the process of unlocking "premium" characters. The premium currency can be obtained at a slower pace by just playing the game and participating on the many events held ingame.    … Expand

The exploration is wonderful with huge maps to explore and many secrets to uncover. The gameplay is endlessly fascinating with complex elemental resonance to trigger if you use certain character combinations. The music is incredible - top notch orchestral pieces that use both western and eastern instruments to create sublime pieces of music.

    Anyone that gives this game low scores is doing so because of a misguided reaction to a lack of developer generosity in giving away free stuff.

    The game is free. Yes, it is a gacha game but you do not have to spend money on it, and it doesn't push you to spend. I do, because I want to support the game and love getting new characters. The developers are reliable and update the game every 6 weeks although currently their situation is difficult since they are based in Shanghai which has a total lockdown imposed.    … Expand

    I have never seen such a massive disappointment of a game that fails at everything get so popular, this is probably one of the most overhyped games ever. The developers were lucky enough to combine world exploration with gacha isekai story and they failed horribly at both.

    The gacha is mediocre at best, some of the lowest rates and highest pity I've seen in all gachas, on top of that    I have never seen such a massive disappointment of a game that fails at everything get so popular, this is probably one of the most overhyped games ever. The developers were lucky enough to combine world exploration with gacha isekai story and they failed horribly at both.

    The gacha is mediocre at best, some of the lowest rates and highest pity I've seen in all gachas, on top of that you have 50% chance to miss the banner character, combined with every banner limited and standard banner being a literal waste / trashcan where you can drop your free pulls. It's literally a slot machine on a strict timer before it explodes and you won't be able to pull on a character you wanted for like 6 months or more. The materials you get for dupes and pulls can be spent on 2 useful things every month, nothing else is worth it.

    The only good thing is guaranteed banner 5* on second 5* pull, but I think that this makes the gacha lose it's spirit and basically slapping a price sign on every character. Unfortunately you will have to spend most of if not all 160 pulls to get to that guaranteed part, for a F2P player this is very damaging, it takes multiple months to save up for just for one 5* so you might end up pulling only one character you wanted every 5-6 months, this happened to me. And even if you are a low budget player you will still struggle greatly but you may cut the time by one month, I don't recommend buying anything other than the monthly card (!! be very careful with the monthly card, if you don't log in for a day the primogems for that day will be gone (basically you are paying to log in every day !!) ).

    The constellation system is a huge whale bait, basically requiring you to pull the same character multiple times to be useful or up to 5x more powerful. WEAPON BANNER oh god don't let me even get started on that, even if the cost of it was decreased by half it would be still horrible, It's insane that a 5* stat stick will require as many pulls as a full character. People saying that this game is not pay to win are either high on copium or didn't play the game enough.

    Ah yes the "world exporation isakai" bleuugh.. It's sad to see so many people get baited by this because it's one of the most popular things, the escapism, being reborn in a fantasy world. Too bad this is one of the weakest fantasy worlds you will ever see, the story is so bad that people care more about the cooking system.... World exploration is only good for the first time after that it becomes annoying and repetitive, just like 90% of the enemies. Even new zones are just copy paste of the old ones to the point that new zones don't even count as new.

    The endgame is non-existent, the powercreep is getting worse and worse, every 4* character is getting replaced by a 5*. The enemies are getting more and more annoying, jumping all over the place, teleporting and flying, while you have very limited movement and stamina, It's like they are forcing you to either use characters that do more damage or characters that are easier to use, eliminating even more skill that's needed to play this mess, like the auto-aim on everything wasn't enough.

    Not even gonna mention how the developer and the community behaves, you have probably seen it all anyways, I'm just wondering how people can completely ignore all this and continue to support this mess, even if you like the game a lot, the community and developer will make you hate it.    … Expand

    After most likely playing upwards of 3000 hours of this "game" since the launch, I have reached the conclusion that it has all been a waste of time and money. Why did it take so long to figure that out? You would be wrong if you assumed I'm simply too dense to catch on before I'd spent an unbelievable amount of time grinding and exploring.

Why did it take so long to figure that out? You would be wrong if you assumed I'm simply too dense to catch on before I'd spent an unbelievable amount of time grinding and exploring. The reality is that Mihoyo has pulled the rug out from everyone and made the "game" pointless, they were lying from the very start and everything only looks good until you play it enough and realize it was all there just to make you think they care and that everything is fine, It's NOT.

    Genshin is a massive Whalebait going as far as offering you 5x the damage on a character if you spend "few hundreds of dollars". It's insane how pay to win the "game" is, every F2P player will never see themselves as powerful as a small whale even if they played for years more. This is because 5* characters and weapons are always better (with very few exceptions) on top of the the constellations are a huge pay wall behind which could be even half of character's kit locked behind and the only thing to access it is pay pay pay. 5* weapons are just stat sticks, constellations are only improving that, they add nothing new. It's unbelievable how greedy this company is, many players were able to see it soon, thank god, thanks to recent outrage many people are waking up to it, still 12 y.o. fanboys will be forever lost.

    Don't waste your time grinding this "game". The plot is absolute trash and moves at very slow pace. Genshin has no endgame and you will only grind the same things for years to come until they add another resource or upgrade material to chase for the next few months until you have enough.
    The "game" has only gotten worse since the launch, only doing the same thing over and over until mihoyo wakes up and remembers we still exist, they abandoned the community in favour of advertising and promoting their mess of a "game". Going as far as to beg artists, content creators and even cooks to promote them, even begging Elon to hype them up so that they could shaft even more unknowing people into their predatory monetization hellhole.
    You also may see a lot of players defend this "game" they have no idea what they are doing, hopefully they will see before they will lose too much money and time on this like me.

    This "game" is only a money making machine, just watch them throw it away when the hype around it dies down. They are already giving up on it, you can see it from recycled events, severe lack of content and them not listening to anything players say, going as far to delete and ignore people's feedback, It's everywhere, just look it up.

    If you want a better gacha that didn't copy everything from others go play Fate/Go, Azur Lane or Arknights those are much better in every sense. Or go play Zelda from which this "game" took everything and slapped monopoly on top of it.    … Expand

    The game is like a piece of S H I T. You need to spend a lot of real money to buy props and characters in the game. Moreover, the game company is also a shameful plagiarist. It plagiarizes the ideas of manufacturers such as Nintendo, Capcom and Platinum and puts them in its own games. It can be called a shameless model in the game industry.

For a reminder we got more or less the SAME EXACT THING! If not a little more. Now when compared to the monumental support Genshin gets we as fans should've gotten more. Not only that, they choose to ignore, silence or BAN fan complaints or criticism because they feel like they are just. They took away signatures in the game, they banned people in discord, and they banned people on reddit as well solely because fans are upset with the lackluster and frankly lazy rewards. They have wasted almost 10 million dollars or anniversary emojis on Twitter; mind you we basically got rerun rewards in game though. Their customers support recently has abysmal with auto-generated replies, when we used to get genuine response. The recent events have been boring, unengaging and uninnovative. To top it off character design and structure. The characters they've made recently have had major issues that the community have tried to tell MiHoYo about but they refuse to listen. Yomiya internal cool downs, Baal not paring with Beidou, and Kokomi as a whole character is so greatly flawed. Please do not play this game until the game state is fixed. I am being completely honest as someone who has played a year, do not play this until it MiHoYo fix their stuff. I'm done supporting them as well until everything is fixed.… Expand

    Genshin Impact is a must try gacha - action/adventure game. With free updates coming in certain periods, the game, which adds so much new content that we can call "Expansion Pack" almost every year, gives you the opportunity to play more content than many AAA games without paying any fee.

    Forget the bad tongues, Genshin Impact is, a year later, a staple of the genre. Very (very!) Generous in content, with sublime graphics and incredible staging, MiHoyo's RPG-gacha has overcome our preconceptions to become a game of rare quality, whatever the platform on which you are evolving. Complete, and endowed with an exciting universe on condition of not being totally allergic to the "kawaïsque" atmosphere, Genshin Impact has not finished surprising us, in fact justifying a higher rating than originally.

    Genshin Impact remains an unbelievable proposition as a free to play title, and the PS5 version of it remains the best way to check it out on consoles for now, in spite of several missed opportunities for obvious and meaningful upgrades.
