Genshin Impact Reviews

by Christina Elizabeth Jansen

This game is pretty incredible when you first start playing. There’s plenty of content, characters, and so on. However, when you start playing more you’ll slowly realize that there’s less content for higher AR players. And that’s the problem. Less content means it’s harder to grind for primogems, not to mention the rewards are so little which makes it even more difficult. To make it worse primogems are WAY too overpriced. You cant even get to pity for $100. I feel as if mihoyo doesn’t care about our concerns and only wants our money. New banners are coming out, and there’s not really any way for you to grind for wishes. After you reach 100% world exploration and get to a high AR there’s almost nothing to look forward to in the game except for daily’s, domains, and new events. There’s a problem with the resin too. There should at least be a way for you to get more resin once you reach a certain AR. Other than that, you just do your daily’s and log off. And another thing, the wish system is also overpriced. Wouldn’t it make more sense for it to be 100 primogems for one wish at least? Considering how hard it is to get primos. If you cant do that, then at least make it a little more easier to get farm primogems in the game. For example, let us earn primogems in domains, like the Abyss. It doesn’t have to be much, just something. You really can’t expect much from this game after a while, and it eventually becomes boring.

Overall, Genshin Impact was a pretty cool game at the beginning. Including the immaculate amount of high quality graphics and the absolutely adorable designs, such as Paimon. Although, after at least 30 minutes, I believe, of downloading the full version, following Amber and completing quests, all the way to discovering the temple and fighting the monsters, I had uncovered a level where you had to fly to reach the other side. You were stuck on a huge cliff, on one side, a huge gap in the middle, and the other side. The instructions that Amber had given me were to fly across the gap to get to the other side. After all, I had just discovered the game ability to fly a while ago. Thinking this was easy, I concentratedly pressed the button and attempted to fly across the gorge, only to be sent down into the "abyss" and be revived. Just then I had discovered that your characters could die, unfortunately. I repeatedly tried over and over to fly across the gorge without the game automatically making my character sink in a sort of slow matter, enough time to make me fail to reach the other side. My lives were decreasing and soon enough, the only character left I could use was Amber. Eventually I just gave up. Developer, do you think you could possibly consider this problem that I, a mobile player, have been having? I cannot play Genshin Impact until the "glitch" has been fixed, since my lives are decreasing every try. Sincerely, -An Upset Player.

This game is great overall but I think it needs a bit of customization like a character creator where you can make your own character when you go into it you need to pay 2 primo gems to make your own character and it will also ask if you want your own animations and moves witch cost 10 primo gems you can choose yes or no when you get into the character creator it will ask if you want a male, female or a small female after selecting it will ask your characters name when after you Type it in it will show step one the eyes you will be able to customize the eyelashes eye color and eye shape and eye size after that step 2 is mouth you will be able to choose from cat mouth normal mouth and squiggly mouth and lipstick step 3 is hair you will be able to choose bangs side bangs back hair and ponytails and colors step4 will be what type of character you want a cat like diona a elf or a human step5 will be to choose your skin color step6 will be for the ones who payed the primo gems for custom animations and moves if your on a pc you can upload your own animations and moves after all of that you will chose your weapon, hat, glasses, hoodie, top, skirt, socks and dress if you want you can change your character for free later on that’s all I got to say as I said overall the game is good but it needs customization thanks if you put this in the game.

I think the gacha element is the most controversial part of the game, so I’ll address that here since I haven’t seen any other reviews really delve into it. I’ve had a fair amount of experience with gacha games, and my experience with Genshin is very different. With most gacha games, it feels like you need all of the higher level characters in order to progress and after getting hooked you quickly fall into a “pay to win” rut. However, my experience with Genshin Impact has been far from that. While the pricing to get new characters is pretty steep, they offer a lot of value. If you have only one 5⭐️ and build the rest of your 4🌟characters properly, you can easily beat the game. There may be some extra things that you can’t do, but the core game & events are mostly f2p friendly.
As long as you’re not really aiming for a specific character and/or have a gambling issue, the gacha shouldn’t be a big issue.
I will say that this is a fighting/exploration heavy RPG first and foremost with a bit of story to tie it all together. Most of your time in game will be spent fighting monsters and looking for treasure. The story is interesting (though the writing can be a bit spotty depending), but if that’s the main thing you’re looking for you’ll probably get worn out fairly quickly. However, if you’re like me and just like running around, killing stuff, and gathering materials, I definitely think you’ll have fun with it!

this game is the best game I’ve ever downloaded! it’s a great open word game, the plot is amazing and all the characters very well designed and have great backgrounds. i love all the fun things you can experience in this game like domains, bosses, and the wishing system (getting characters). and the system of daily commissions, and you’re reputation in different places to get wind gliders is super fun! also there’s gods that rule over the seven nations of Teyvet, and all the gods will eventually become playable characters, like Venti (anemo archon), Zhongli (geo archon), and Baal that will be coming soon (electro archon). also every nation has something special like Mondstat is the city of freedom, Liyue is the city of contracts, and Inazuma is the city of eternity and etc. some things are a little too complicated for me, for example building characters with artifacts, also artifacts help a lot with getting though with enemy’s faster (better dmg, def, hp.), but I just try my best. something I don’t understand is and I don’t like is that you can’t craft and unlock teleport waypoints and talk to people while in co-op mode. and I also love the new map, but I’m not so good at puzzles lol. also visions and all the elements, pyro, hydro, anemo, electro, dendro, cryo, geo. something I wanted added to the game is being able to pet animals, although it seems kinda silly I still think it’s cute. pls download this game its the best, enjoyy! 🤍

As a heavy genshin daily player, I’d like to say that this is the most fun game I had in quite some time. The character designs are great, the voice lines are great, and the graphics are truest stunning (playing on a pc/ iPhone 13 pro). However, this game does come with several flaws. First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room. Please improve your resin system. With more content than ever, we players need more resin than ever. Please increase resin tick/gain speed to 5 min per, and increase resin cap to 200. This would help a lot. Furthermore, the content in this game is kinda drying out. I’ve done all the quests there are and it gets boring after some time. The only thing left to do is to farm for talent up materials or artifacts, which relies on RESIN. Additionally, you should improve your daily commission system, an improvement towards the expedition system where it's auto or a resend button would be nice. I'd also like to suggest having an expedition where you could get primogemms,, but have a chance of failing to get them. Please also buff certain characters such as yoimiya, Kokomi, these 5* are overshadowed by other characters. Bennet should be nerfed, as he single handedly can care an entire abyss team. Make his healing stop at 60% and reduce his attack buff. Also buff qiqi and keqing. Your character balance is needed more than ever

I’m not the type to write a review but there are so many wonderful things about this game that I’m DYING to say. First of all the art is gorgeous and clean, not just the map but the characters too. Secondly is the music. The music was performed by an entire orchestra which really helps set the mood. In a way they’re soundtrack almost rivals some of Nintendo’s tracks.
No matter how beautiful the art and soundtrack it needs to have good plot and gameplay to succeed. And I can say that this game does have that. The mechanics aren’t too difficult even on mobile which says a lot. Even though mobile commonly has problems like mistapping and sometimes an annoying movement system they haven’t shown up enough to damper my opinion of it. The characters are all different with unique skills and abilities which is exciting and fun. The plot is immersive and interesting. Also the grinding system of loot and resin gives the player a reason to come back.
There are a couple problems of course such as low drop rates for artifacts and characters but that’s how gatcha games are. Also since it’s open world it takes up a LOT of space and memory. Not for older phone users thats for sure. Overall I guess one complaint is that Paimon, the sidekick, can sound kinda annoying but I switched to Japanese VA and I think that helps a lot.
Overall 10/10 great work Mihoyo

Genshin is a one of kind game and was so much fun to play in the beginning. The amazing open world gameplay, character designs, music and storyline really sold me on the game when I started playing last November. But almost a year later, things have just been slowly slipping. The music and map design is still amazing but there have been no QoL improvements and player feedback is basically ignored in favor of game mechanics that no one really wants (like the housing and fishing systems). The grind in the game ruins the hype for any character. Even after successfully getting a character you like it takes months to build them to a point where they can be used. Additionally, the more recent characters are all completely unbalanced and not worth the resources. Mihoyo seems to prefer to rely on waifu tropes to sell these characters. Pair that with the sloppily executed storyline of the latest chapter and it’s easy to see that the quality of the game has dropped. The biggest problem with Genshin is the lack of endgame content. There is only one dungeon which resets twice a month and they also tend to add in awful mechanics just to sell their latest character. Between the lack of improvements throughout the year and the meager celebrations for the anniversary, it is clear that Mihoyo does not respect its players. If you do want to play the game and enjoy the good things in it, I would recommend doing so as an F2P player. I definitely regret spending money.

Hey “HOYOLAB” First thing. DENDRO WHEN?! Second, I’ve been pulling on a lot of banners but I’ve never even been able to get close to getting a character and probably lost 50/50 multiple times and may I ask for you to make a banner where your going to get characters no matter what? Also can you put out sayu and klee again but as 5 stars and a qiqi 5 stars? Also for the Tartaglia fight why is he so powerful even if he’s lvl 47? That makes no sense to me whatsoever and I have a lvl 50 Aether that should be able to do a lot more dmg based on his equipment yet he hits like if someone were to hit another person with plastic, my Aether seems really weak although his set is strong and all the other fights that were stronger I was able to beat with ease. Also when you drop dendro characters can you give them more of a modern style and give them a cool backstory like they came from a different world in total or something along those lines, and if that won’t work for you can you at least make them look different from the whole “fancy” style, even if it’s in a magical universe why do they all have to dress so formally? Also I have a bit of an idea where as you ascend the child characters they get an older look but you still have a copy of the child form? That’s all my requests, and thank you for making such an awesome open world game.

So at first I was going to play this on PC, yet my computer is pretty slow and this game doesn’t work very well on it, so I usually play in my phone. So far I’m at Adventure Rank 27, and I’ve had almost no problems with the game. The storyline is great and there’s almost always something to do whether it’s the main story, side quests, daily commissions, or just exploring. The one thing that’s bad about this, as I’ve seen mentioned a lot before, is the resin system. The resin is the main part of the game that helps you level faster, but it regenerates at 1 per 8 minutes with a limit of 120. This can lead to a boring hour of just wandering and waiting for the resin to regenerate. Now onto the effect it has on my device. I’ve seen others say that it heats up your device pretty quickly, but I’d say it’s only a tiny bit faster at heating your device up as other games are. Now the devise I use is an IPhone SE that I got in October 2020, so it’s fairly new and had lots of storage when I decided to download. I’m glad I had lots of storage available because this game takes up around 4GB and more of storage on your device. The 4GB was expected thought because of the amazing game graphics and quality of gameplay, which at first glance does not look like it could fit on a mobile device. I’ll continue to play the game and I can’t wait for new updates and more stories!

by ... Well Then.

I’m one of those people who Judges a game by its video/screenshots/price/platform rather than description so at first, I personally thought it was some copy or ripoff of another game that costs 60$ more that will be left unnamed, but it’s much different. There are some things I would love changes too like, you don’t start with so much stuff, you can have two to three characters out as an a.i. that you can switch to when you need them for a puzzle or you want to get them out of a predicament instead of having one out at a time and hear characters that may not be there, with that edition you could have a healer and strategize rather than switching to what you need when you need it out of nowhere. Another thing is that the gameplay and story through me off from how original and fun it was for a game I was initially going to play as a time waster. I would quiet enjoy to have more skins for your characters and voiced dialogue/more story into the main character instead of a random flying thing that always seems starved. I love the mystery so if you are into that sort of thing I think that you would like it although even with fast travel, travel is quiet annoying and unfortunately, I have no ideas for that

TL/DR: You should play because of story and animations if not because it’s free

PS: I played this on PS4 though I tried it on iPhone, and I didn’t like the controls

by <3 Traveler

When I first started I had no idea how to play it would be nice if before you played there where instructions but idk if there where I didn’t actually read or remember so if there word my bad!!! But I had no idea how to play so I didn’t like it at first. Eventually I figured it out and went to the statue of the seven the first one they tell us to go too I thought it was pretty interesting since then. After wards I went to mondstant (idk how to spell it sorry) and that’s my favorite part bc I thought I would be alone in the game and that I would have to make camp fires and that but At the end there was a town where u can buy stuff and relax … etc witch is great!!! Therefore came the missions and at first I did all of them and defeat every enemy I saw but when I continued playing I started to avoid the fights because I just wanted to get to the target like if it was a walk in the part but the coding in genshin made it very hard meaning that it was nearly imposible to not be attacked by enemy’s but even so I did avoid the enemy’s . But I came to realize if I fight more enemy’s I get leveled up! So that’s great I avoid but also fight sometimes. Right now currently having a hard time with the mountains it’s pretty hard to stay warm and idk how to pass the mission it’s called “lost in the snow”. - but overall I loved the game it makes me feel all sorts of emotions!!!!

This is a very great game, it’s pretty fun also. Tbh it’s worth the grind for this game my Adventure rank is 48 and I’m still learning how to build characters on this game. Seriously though this game is really good, and the animations on this game for every story is really cool - never disappoint me with it at all. The only thing you should be hating on is the fandom - because of the fact how there are way too many young age characters and some people go ahead and draw them sexually or sexual them around. Especially the fandom who complains that the rewards aren’t great - well guess what: the rewards aren’t great because of the fact how y’all be making fun off Komi, and the actor for her voice. You also even made fun of female actors and also some male actors. You also complain how Amber is bad, and same to Komi. You also hated on Bennet, Kaeya, Traveler, Paimon, and mainly on Amber. Like why do you need to hate on characters? Just play the game and enjoy what you got, because their the one who spend their life and time on making this character and also making the stories and everything for you to play so at least be grateful for that for you’ve woulda get a bad character that y’all don’t even like at all. I main Amber myself she tbh her highest crits is 20K, and it’s not hard to play Amber, you just need the right build for her and that’s all. Like just enjoy the game man.

This game is insane. I’ve played now for a total of 42 days, according to HoyoLab. Easily hundreds of hours. I play every day for hours. This is the only game I'm currently investing time in. And let me say it is WORTH your time. A HUGE open world not pay to win and complete flexibility with how you play. I have invested around $20 total over the course of my time and it was for 1 character, Xiao. I didn't get him, however i did end up getting him with a free wish i received, go figure. But this is not like a normal GATCHA game. You get so many characters with the chance at more and more completely for free. You never have to spend money. There is no pay wall and the story lines are fantastic. I literally cant type out enough praise for this game. Its the best game i have played hands down in a very very long time.
It does need some more end-game or late-game content, especially because at AR37 the story just stops.
DEVS: This game is a huge accomplishment and you should all be proud. Its extremely ambitious, especially if you are planning on including zones that represent every element, however, keep with it. You guys can have THE best game of all time if you listen to your fan base and keep this momentum up! The lantern rite event was absolutely incredible!
P.S. try and keep the tower defense mini game in! Its so much fun just to pass time! And it gives us a reason to keep playing after we finish our daily grind!

Genshin Impact is a wonderful game! The graphics are stunning and full of detail, and even on medium to high graphics quality, the game runs pretty smoothly. I enjoy the dialogue and backstory, and so do my friends. It’s really fun to battle the monsters and go through the story as though you are really living in it. The music is also beautiful! It’s a wonderful addition to the game. I do have a couple complaints, one being that the game doesn’t run as smoothly on computers as it does on mobile devices. My PC is more than up to the task of handling a game such as this, but it still seems to struggle to run this game even at low graphics quality. I have seen many videos regarding this, and have yet to find a solution. Another is that increasing your characters level gets extremely difficult as you gain experience. I understand that it needs to be difficult the higher level you are, but even with hundreds of hours of playing, my favorite characters have an average level of 50-60 out of 90. The chat system within the game is pretty good, but there are some improvements they could make, such as allowing for more characters per message, a way to use the portrait view keyboard as landscape is rather difficult to use.

I would absolutely recommend this game to all of my friends, as I have done. To this day, we typically play this game at least three times a week together.

In my many years of trying to find games to play on the phone and ACTUALLY being satisfied and having something to play till 3 am. Genshin Impact has shown me that I waited long enough, the game asked me to write a review but I just couldn’t stop playing at the time. I have a few suggestions but the game doesn’t need major changes the updates are spontaneous but that is to come of a new game so it’s not a complaint, if you’re looking for a game that you can like and that has beautiful graphics along with fighting mechanics then this is your game. With the dungeons and monsters and many different places to visit it’s even fun just running around looking at the world, although one suggestion I have is that instead of just food to heal your party members why not add craftable health potions and such so my character doesn’t feel sick when eating so much 😂. The purity and smooth play of the game is phenomenal though, I’ve already suggested it to a dozen people and I think this game has greater potential, on the other hand I was opening this was a open world multiplayer aswell, but the story says otherwise. If you need to relax and relieve stress this is the game, but if you want to play with friends and find people to meet you better have them added or you’ll be alone like I am! All in all having a better friends system would be awesome but the game itself is phenomenal! Paimon is so Kawaii!!!!!

I remember starting Genshin with a wondrous. Everything was so new and exiting. I started in April. I still remember freezing in dragonspine or worried about if I had enough eggs to keep going during my battle. The journeys and quests were endless. This was until AR 47 or somewhere around there. All the quests were completed and most regions (Only two around) were all completed. At this point, the Inazuman word had spread, and people were talking about saving for kazuha, or Ayaka. Once Kazuha came out, is when I stopped being a bit bored again. I had managed to pull him as my first 5* too and was pretty excited, which got me back in. Before all I was doing we’re commissions and then either farm artifacts or farm ley lines. Now I was on a bit more. Inazuma was just about to be out, so I used my fragile resin to farm a bit more. And finally, the arrival of inazuma. It kept me up. I was back to that curious me. Then as time slowly passed, it went away again. Now the most saving me from boredom are the events. This game is dear to me. But it takes so long for a new “Best new quest!” To come out. I remember the golden apple archipelago. That was one of the best quests I was able to be apart of. But once it’s gone it’s gone. This game is awsome fun and great. Enjoy it while it lasts. Because at some point you will be stuck in this endless cycle of commissions+farming every single day. Repetitive, and gets tiring. But I still love you.

This game has a lot of reasons it stole my heart and became the best game I have ever played. First of all, I love how I don’t have ads that pop out of nowhere and interrupt my game time. Secondly, I send my friends songs from this game everyday and tell them how wonderful they are. I just sent my friend Albedos song because it is sooo good. The soundtrack was thought out really well and makes the game have all this life to it! Third, the vast open world makes it even better with all these little things that make it beautiful and not just the main cities like other games. The character designs are stunning and the animations are awesome! Sure sometimes my internet is weird and it glitches out some stuff but I can forgive it because I know all games aren’t perfect. It just they made it so well that you feel like it’s perfect so I don’t fret over my floating for a minute or two. I also would like to mention how I barely have to pay for anything in this game with real world money. Usually you would have to pay all this money to waste it on something that doesn’t need to be 90 something dollars. I love how you also have to wait a while to be at a certain adventure rank or character level to do a part of the story. It makes it so we don’t rush through the game and end so quick. I have a lot more reasons why I love this game but I hope this is enough to convince you that it’s the best game ever!!

I want to start off by saying that Genshin has gotten me through so much boredom over the pandemic. Absolutely beautiful game, unique characters, and lots to explore. However, are here are a few things to note. First off, once you’re at a higher adventure rank it’s much harder to get primogems, in comparison how much it costs to pull on a weapon or character banner once. If you go to the one star reviews you may notice many of them say things like “give me Ganyu and I’ll change my review back.” While that’s childish, it is very difficult to get characters. Second off, this game requires a lot of storage for mobile players. We only have three nations so far, I highly doubt there will be many mobile players left in the game soon. Lastly the game can feel more like a chore when you’re at a higher level. The resin system limits how many materials we can gather in a day. Also I’ve begun to notice many players log on to do their commissions, use up their resin and log off. Despite this I’m still going to give it five stars since it’s really been one of my favorite games. And even if I don’t get the character I wanted, or I run out of resin there’s lots to do. You can decorate your teapot normally or build some home made contraption in it. You can run around on co-op helping people or simply making new friends. You can participate in the current events. Overall it’s a very fun game, and I’d recommend it.

The title of this review says it all. Let me start from the day I installed Genshin impact. It took me a long time to create an account, because it kept saying that “the password wasn’t secure”. However, after I got through that part, the exciting stuff began. The storyline was so exciting, and the characters were great. Yes, the gacha is annoying, (you have to grind 90 rolls to get a five star) but it’s still good. A little bit into the game I realized the game kept crashing (if you play on pc or maybe PS4 then you’ll probably have this problem less often, but I’m playing on mobile)it’s very annoying when it crashes of course, but I deal with it. Another thing about this game is that some challenges/quests are kinda hard (ex., you keep getting frozen when trying to defeat enemies), but I just search up guides to figure it out. Also, I heard the spiral abyss is really hard. Plus, to do good damage you need good artifacts, and those artifacts don’t always have good substats. This game is still in progress, so the entire storyline isn’t out yet. The details in this game are stunning, for example you can see the characters breath in cold areas, and the npc’s react when you bump into/ use attacks near them. the characters all have cool idle animations, plus the voice actors are great. The events in Genshin are also extremely fun, too and so far all the updates have been great. Again, the title says it all.

The game is a gorgeous world with plenty of explorations to make. I have plundered quite some time into the game over the past few days since launch. It is absolutely interesting and fun to play. However, there are some design I, as a player, would like some change on.
First, about monetization, it is absolutely fine to expect making a lot of money from this game consider the development cost and everything. However, one thing this game does not differ from many other Chinese games is a hard effort cap in gaining characters. I have played effortlessly on gaining in-game currencies but I would say it at maximum gives one draw each hour of gameplay. With a 0.6% chance, you barely gain any 5 star characters by only playing. Before the game launches, I was honestly expecting to see more monetization options on skins and other customizations, instead of on characters.
Second, about protagonist gameplay, personally I would like the protagonist “traveler” to have more weapon options, the ability to wield two elements at the same time, and cross-element skills.
Third, vehicle, bike, horse, or anything. :)
Fourth, about map improvement, currently the in-game map does not display any progression on one time collections or any collection.

Hello. I’m new to the game but I can give you a good rundown of how it’s going so far (2nd release day). So far, I do have to say that the graphics/visuals and the audio as well are amazing! At first I had trouble loading the beginning cut scenes, but after that, I never had trouble with lag our audio glitches. The visuals are bright and beautiful, much better than most games out there currently. Now as for the gameplay itself, I am a newbie to this game, but it focuses mostly on grinding levels for many different characters and completing many different quests across the large world map. I love running across the map and not having to stop for any loading screens, it’s all one big world!

Now there is something for the developers to work on, as this is rated four stars and not five. As in many other reviews, there are many, many times where I will just be playing and either the screen will freeze or the game will completely crash. That gets quite annoying.

Now I do understand that this is only the second day off of launch, so I will give them grace... hopefully they can fix the crashing issue, then I will rate it 5 stars!

by Arciela Lu

The game is ridiculously beautiful, there’s no mistaking there’s a lot of effort put into this, alongside the top tier Japanese voice actors. The designs, world, all of the exploration aspects are very detailed and it’s a very good open world. However I have a bit of concern that from the Wish rates this game will turn into a pay to win, with the abysmal drop rate. Granted, you can get characters from progressing with the story, however, there’s no denying that there is this feeling that you can just cruise early and be ridiculously op from the start, it can break a hardworking player’s spirit, and hopefully the devs will take this into consideration, and make sure that all players will be given equal satisfaction so that whale players can still be whales and free to play players don’t feel like their hard work becomes obsolete. I feel this game has a very good potential and it would be a waste to see the joy ruined by a pay to win, since the team really put a lot of effort into this game. Personally I don’t mind giving support to the devs by making small purchases now and then, but I’d rather not have my hard work flushed down the drain just because the game says “pay to win, baby”.

This game is simply beautiful, it’s fun and well written. Aside from the little hell spawn that is Paimon, I love all the characters and find them engaging and well designed. It looks great on ipad and even better on PC (though I’d love to see it come to MacOS), and while it does look great on PS4 as well, Sony, as always, refuses to play ball so there’s no cross save available for it. I’m really enjoying the world so far and am quite intrigued to see how it will open up. So why not 5 stars? As with all gacha games, the method of acquiring new heroes is even more annoying than Paimon. I really enjoy Mihoyo games, they’re top quality stuff and really entertaining, but as much time as I put into Honkai Impact, I just couldn’t bring myself to keep playing because it would end up costing upwards of $500 to get the character I was actually looking for. As much as I’m loving this game, I worry the same will happen. I would gladly pay $60 for this game and $20 for every expansion they added and like $5-10 or whatever for skins if it didn’t have those god awful random loot mechanics. It’s a wonderful game, but knowing I’d likely have to reach into my pockets for it to give me a 5 star hero is going to keep me from giving it a 5 star review.

by Kiviandmack

I’ve seen this game pop up quite a few times on my ads and out of curiosity gave it a go, when you run into anime games it’s common to have low expectations along with the common negative aspects of 3D Anime, but this game absolutely blew me away, the characters are loveable, goofy, and fun to interact with, the gameplay mechanics are simple yet doesn’t hand feed you the playthrough. The world building is absolutely astounding, The fact you can go to every single NPC and each one have their own stories, their own lives and original dialogue makes this world that much more immersive, I can’t imagine how much effort this team must have put into that alone. The soundtrack is beautiful, the graphics are simple yet fun and overall it is a very addictive game, the only reason I give it 4/5 would be the crashing and bugs, it is still a very /very/ new game and I presume they will be fixed in the future but it is extremely frustrating when you have such a wonderful world ready to play and it crashes every two minutes, with this you just have to be patient but if I could change anything in this game I would try to fix the crash bugs, But overall a very fun and immersive game!

I’m quite surprised with the production quality of this game. For the internet to brush it off as a BotW knock of does it a disservice to the overall experience. Sure there are mechanics like climbing and use of a glider, gathering materials spread through out the over world, and the general environmental design and look similarities. But due to the combat and now the narrative is progressed, it’s a far different experience. It’s has taken good aspects of BotW and established it’s own game, I consider this to be a homage with extreme similarities than just a knock off trying to piggy back on BotW popularity and polish. I myself brushed it off as a BotW copy cat, but I was very surprised to be wrong about that. Now I hope the gacha mechanic doesn’t sour the overall experience and make it worth while for free to play players. Though like Arknights, I hope this game becomes something the player wants to put in their own hard earned money due to how well made this game might be. But this only has bouts been released, and the studio probably are planning to hold events like other gacha games, adding to the game.

I have always wanted to play a Massive open world game on my phone. It’s been years of searching for games on GenshinImpact Store and I found a few games that were good, but they were not exactly the kind of game I was looking for. I was looking for a game where you have freedom instead of following a single storyline, I was looking for Amazing graphics in a game, and I was looking for something that is long and satisfying. This game has gone way past my expectations, from graphics, to gameplay, to story/side quest, to exploring freely. There’s just so much to do, I look forward to playing more and getting new updates to add even more improvements. Keep up the good work! (Also a few suggestions to make it better, Add more side quest that has some useful rewards maybe, and maybe a friendship or couple system to make it more realistic; like more interactions throughout the game, most likely with online people, oh and one more thing; even more characters and weapons which will draw more people on as well as keep players playing for who knows how long) thank you.

I find myself playing losing track of the time the story line keeps you wanted to play more pros they do not have a pay to win aspect you can get everything free been playing two days and I already got a 5* so don’t let the reviews say other wise yeah normally the drop rates are low but they have events that boost up to 50-75% so save and use during those like I did and the 4* characters are still just as good u want to have a variety of different squads as you progress another pro which seems to be underrated is the voice to chat with npcs I think many will agree sometimes u just wanna skip through and sometimes u don’t feel like reading not to mention you feel more immersed into the game hearving different voices as you progress with different characters the only con I really think is the no mount system while it’s still beta hope it comes in future but they’re are ways around this some characters increase your stamina for entire party so u can run longer and climb higher so they doing everything right I’m a firm believer in making a game good enough free some players choose to purchase to support versus having to purchase just to progress so this game get a a+++

It’s like the love child of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem and Skyrim! Although the game has 4 player coop it is very much a solo experience. It plays like an actual game you would buy for the Nintendo Switch (of which is coming later). There is also a PC version which I recommend the most because it feels the most native, like it was made for it originally. It supports controller too! The game is cross platform save, meaning you can play with someone whose on their phone even if you’re on pc and even if you switch to a phone yourself — you’ll still have your save! There is voice acting for Chinese (The original I think? The only one to have the protagonist’s voice over in his profile’s story section), English (it’s grown on me and I really like some of the characters voices), Japanese (this is the most popular because of anime), and Korean (I also really like this one!). You can choose the female twin (Lumine) or the male twin (Aether) at the beginning, there is no difference except personal choice. I chose Aether because he reminded me of Link. I highly recommend Genshin Impact. You seriously won’t regret trying this game!

Genshin Impact is a fantastic game. From the get go, its absolutely beautiful and the attention to detail in each and every frame and background is astounding. The story is captivating and every quest is interesting and not boring at all. It definitely is a game that will keep you wanting to play more and more. The way that the game changes weather and time is also beautiful as well. I’ve watched sunrises, sunsets, battled in the rain, fought numerous amounts of monsters, all within a MOBILE game. The game is such an amazing mobile game that it feels like you’re playing on an actual console (or on the computer). Paimon is definitely the most annoying character out there and RNG is the worst way to try and get characters ever because I have terrible luck BUT EVEN SO, the game is so much fun to play you will have trouble putting it down. Each character also has unique abilities and there is so much to learn in this game. Definitely would recommend and I’ve had the most fun playing this game over all other games that I have ever played on a mobile phone. Hands down, if I could give it 10/5 stars, I would. (But please, make Paimon less annoying, please).

The game is very difficult to find things. If u have the time it’s a great game, I say that because you will be doing a lot of walking and climbing. No mounts as of yet - (auto run would be a game changer.) Dungeons are fun when you do get to do them in between the loooong adventurer leveling system it will take a while before you get to play with friends. ( mine gave up on the game due to the game not keeping your ADD attention.). If u are a focus player this game might be for you. You will spend most of your time trying to find anything to do- because it’s very difficult to know where anything is.
Once you get used to it you begin to just run around and look for something to kill. As the quest line is really abstract and difficult to follow. I love the game and will play it in when I have the patience to actually go through the torment of long leveling with no auto run or mount. —- the climbing system is amazing, once you are done climbing for a bit you will get to glide for a few seconds which is also fun.
I will give it five stars just because it’s a breath of fresh air from the fast paced mmo’s that are available. It is still the same archer, knight, mage format but In a different more interesting fashion.

I’ve played for about 2 hours now and I’m ready to write a review. I’ve played many open world games in the past, and many have had their ups and downs. Then Genshin Impact came. Patiently day after day I would wait eagerly for the game to launch after seeing it appear on GenshinImpact Store. While the download did take a little while in the beginning, the wait was more than worth it. The game is just absolutely beautiful, from the environment to the designs of the characters them selves. The game brings you in to another world full of color and adventure. The music is soothing to the ears as I walk the lands of Teyvat moving from quest to quest or finding a monster to beat. The game is smooth when it comes to combat controls and the layout of everything in general is very appealing, not like other games full to the brim with buttons and menus. This game reminds me of The Legend Of Zelda : Breath Of The Wild. (For those who have played it would see what I mean haha). The only con I can see with this game is that my phone overheats a bit. Overall I can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for us players. If you’re still reading this quit right now and get this game. You will not be disappointed. This will be quite the adventure to behold.

People are calling this game “anime Legend of Zelda,” which is pretty much true. It is so fantastic and honestly I’m so in love with it. The storyline, combat, graphics, everything is great! The fact that you can switch characters to fight certain elements is something that I really like, especially with the really amazing voice acting that comes with it. I haven’t been this invested in a game in a while and I’m ready to play it through and through. I haven’t found any glitches yet so far so that’s Great!
One thing I will say, though, is that I really am excited for this to come out on Xbox and the Nintendo Switch. I kind of hope it could come out on Mac but Mac has been kind of complicated recently and various games have been becoming incompatible with it due to new updates. I also would love it if mounts were a thing. Even if horses can’t be programmed into the game, at least a hoverboard or something that goes equally as fast as the running speed. This game, I understand, just got released so there’s still obviously more things to do, so I can’t wait to see what more there is to come! I love everything about this game, I forgot to say how glorious the music is, too, and I’m just honestly amazed. Anyways, weeb/geek rant over. I’m just too happy with this game.

So. The only problem I have with this game is the overwhelming lag that this game brings to the phone. If you guys could really fix this, I’d be very happy, cause I was Interested to see all of the amazing animations that you guys could bring to such a magnificent game as this one. Plus, it should be brought to my attention that you should get the material for wishes easier. I have been trying my hardest, but I always seem to get nothing, although I just do quests and stuff that don’t have them. (I understand that this is a very early version of the game, and your improving it.) Also, VERY. good job on the character models for this game. Honestly, this is the first ever good RPG game, making the fact that all the others were not very good, since it limits you to a lobby, not experiencing the world, and just fighting. I would also like to add, something That would improve this game a lot is if you guys had different Customizations. Like Clothes, Wing Gliders (there are 3 available so, I guess I have a wrong point there) And much more! It would seem to me so fun if there was a whole variety to this game. Also, Amazing game on the characters. I really like all of them, and I favor this game a lot. As being one of your big fans, please take these ideas into suggestion and improve the game early on! I would love to see this game being one of the most played games in the world ! ! I hope the best of luck to you guys!

I knew nothing of this game until my friend got into the beta. I’ve been following it ever since. I couldn’t wait for its release. The game itself is fantastic. The music the story, sure it’s a BOTW clone but it does so much of its own thing that it really stands on its own two feet. The only downside I see to the game at all is the loot box style way of getting characters and weapons. But it is early. I’m only adventure rank 12. It goes to 60 so who knows what you will unlock along the way with time. That also being said even without 5 star weapons or characters I have had no real issue making it through anything so far so the characters and weapons to me are more of a skin/cosmetics thing then any sort of pay to win if anyone is concerned about that. But even with the one downside I gave it a 5 star and even wrote this review (which I don’t normally do) because the game is so fun. I own every console and built my own computer I don’t normally play mobile games but this one got me. It’s very well done.
