Genshin Impact

"All in all, Genshin Impact is one of the best RPG titles to release this year. Unfortunately, a stingy gachapon system and nonsensical gameplay restrictions hold it back just a bit. If you can look past that, then you’ll likely …"

"Despite lacklustre multiplayer and a frustrating paywall to unlock characters and items, Genshin Impact is a brilliant experience with hours of fun-filled exploration. It also has Paimon and she is perfect."

"The game has an interesting and visually appealing open world, and exploration is accompanied by a divine soundtrack, but there is little endgame content, and many of the side quests and exploration missions can become tedious due to a lack …"

"Put aside your reservations about free-to-play mobile RPGs, gacha mechanics, and weeby storytelling: Genshin Impact is totally unique. I came in a skeptic and now find myself genuinely relishing hours more time spent chaining elemental combos, grinding for new characters, …"

"A discreet and relaxing action-rpg, which thanks to its model business manages to be a completely free single player experience."

"Despite its often less-than-subtle nods to Nintendo&s;s Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact does enough differently to stand apart. Throw in punchier combat, a more traditional story packed with interesting characters, and an outstanding score and Genshin Impact easily sits …"

"Genshin Impact could be a little more lively than it is when leveling, but the beauty of its world helps suck you in. You really can&s;t beat free, so long as you resist the rather tame temptations to spend money."

"Genshin Impact is genuinely fun, is set in a wonderfully vibrant world with stuff to be discovered everywhere you go, topped off with some fantastic waifus and best boys. As someone who is entirely free-to-play, the gacha system is horrendous. …"

"Genshin Impact takes only the best from others and adds its own original elements. The story is confusing at times, but it still lets you do some side quests. The world here will never tire and will make you climb …"

"This is an amazing smorgasbord of exploration, discovery, combat, and customization worthy of your attention – despite the presence of a predatory monetization model"

"Genshin Impact may be one of the biggest surprises of the year: A free-to-play RPG that gives players an absurd amount of freedom and content to dip into. Some barriers can still be found in the absurdly rare drop rates …"

"There is no aspect of Genshin Impact that does not impress. A beautiful world, an absolutely bombastic soundtrack that accompanies the player for hours, a dynamic combat system that never gets boring, a game world with dozens of hours of …"

"Genshin Impact provides you with more content as a free to play game than most full-price titles do. With so much to offer, you can easily get lost in its lush world, fun and exciting combat, and deep exploration. Genshin …"

"Genshin Impact has been nicknamed "Breath of the Waifu" due to its obvious influences and cute characters. But surprisingly, the game is much more than that."

"Genshin Impact really is much more than a shameful Zelda clone: its open world is busy and gorgeous, its combat feels creative and it&s;s for free. For real."

"Genshin Impact offers a very well-made action-RPG as a free-to-play service--though it&s;s not without a few caveats."

"Overall, Genshin impact is a pretty complete package. Everything has been polished to the point of perfection, and to get it for free is ridiculous. There are just a couple of caveats, but they’re minor in my book."

"With a massive, gorgeous world and wildly satisfying combat, Genshin Impact can rival the fun-factor of any AAA game released this year, and it’s completely possible to enjoy without spending a dime."

"Worst-case scenario, Genshin Impact will cost you a few hours of your life. Best-case scenario, it will be your surprise hit of the year. There are zero reasons not to at least try this title if you are a fan …"

"Though the story elements won&s;t be to everyone&s;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 …"

"With a dense open world inspired by Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact provides hours of free entertainment with its rich combat and deep RPG systems."

"What Genshin Impact offers for free - and promises down the line - is the best bang for your buck in gaming today."

"Genshin Impact is a remarkable game in many respects, boasting vibrant visuals, a rich, sprawling world, deep systems, and finely-tuned action. Unfortunately, the game&s;s free-to-play gacha business model often undermines its own sense of adventure and excitement. Genshin Impact is …"

"It is anything but an ideal game, yet Genshin Impact merits an attempt from RPG fans."

"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 …"

"Overall, I have to say Genshin Impact is definitely a game that’s changing how RPGs can be handled, especially in the world of mobile games. It has all the boxes checked off for me as a fan of RPGs. It’s …"

"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 …"

"Genshin Impact is a game I can easily recommend. It would have been worth your time anyway, but given that it&s;s free, it&s;s even harder to miss."
