One of Genshin Impact’ s biggest draws is its huge roster of interesting characters and well-designed weaponry, but not all of them are easy to acquire. With the existing gacha system, players have access to several different banners with different characters and weapons. Figuring out which one to pull on, and how to calculate one’s chances of a desirable result, can be confusBut as alluded to near the beginning of this review, Genshin Impact does falter at the point where it seems the game is destined for undeniably phenomenal heights. Not entirely a deal-breaker or one that takes the player completely out of the accomplished immersion of its world or even its combat. But when totted up, does signal a game that could’ve used a bit more checking-over. When it comes to tackling some of the more technical components, { Genshin Impact drops the ball one too many times. Even if you were to disregard the nature of the narrative or the way in which a group of characters can, at their worst, talk extensively (and absently off-screen worst of all), there’s a notable disconnect when the game, for example, continues to refer to your male sibling character as “she” or “her.” It isn’t the only basic error that crops up with many an instance of dialogue cutting off mid-conversation, not matching up with what’s written on-screen and at one point, a mere line of dialogue getting stuck on-screen for the rest of one’s play session.But perhaps the most crucial consolation in this part especially is indeed the breadth of content on offer in Genshin Impact. From environmental puzzles to work out, to small enemy camps to clear, to brief challenges that reward another chest to open, even just taking a glance at the map and spotting a more conspicuous landmark. To venture to said landmark and find a higher-level and [thankfully] more aggressive boss show up. Most of these content placements do feed back into the continual progression of XP and AR and currency (and of the game doing its subtle best to convince us to drop some money into the Gacha side of things). Like its inspirations, some of these are more blatant and unapologetic than others. But where Genshin’s true purposes may not always be purely innocent in nature, what stops the experience from turning in sour or predatory most of all, is the thoughtful craft at which the world is structured. How, like Breath of the Wild, there’s no right answer to exploring in of itself, but there’s an answer to such things like “how do I get that collectible when it’s all the way up there?”
Since the two featured five-star characters each have their own banners (Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2), players need not worry about pulling the “wrong” limited five-star, as it’s not possible. But, on the weapon banner, both the limited weapons are on the same one. So, if a player successfully pulls the limited five-star weapon, they can still “lose” by getting the wrong Though the story elements won’t be to everyone’s taste — and as such, the efforts the game makes to inject a sense of drama and interpretation stakes can fall flat and veer into being completely off-putting — the sheer breadth and scale that Genshin Impact offers means that the brief lows in no way impact on the many lofty highs offered up. A free-to-play game whose content rivals the more higher-budgeted AAA releases of the past few years. Where miHoYo’s inspirations and references may be a little too on-the-nose or obvious in parts, it’s similarly made up for via its wealth of content and of an exploration element that is well designed, but more importantly brilliantly emergent. In one moment, it might be the intrigue of a distant landmark, or in another the wild and flashy power-trip that is its elemental-based combat. Wherever it takes you, Genshin Impact is a more-than-convincing proposition, not least for those adamant on never spending a single cent in-game. The grind to get there may not always feel wholly natural or that players are genuinely being left to wander without restraint, but Genshin Impact’s meticulous approach to environment design above all pulls through in many wonderful ways. Crafting one of the year’s more immersive and surprisingly rich open-world RPGs.

A more satisfying sight when such encounters have you surrounded on all fronts — some enemies even trying to stay back so as to unleash their own area-of-effect or elemental-based ailments.
