Genshin Impact

Raiden Shoguns Second story quest was so emotional. There is lots to explore and plenty of events to play. Ayoto just dropped and he is pretty op compared to other hydro users in the game,his design is really cool and I can't forget about the boba tea that he always Carrie's around with him. Ayoto with his sister(Ayaka) make a good pair when fighting enemies)

I Play the game for at least 20 hours now and i must say the concept is well, quite good. But i give mixed score because of this :

• Many say the graphic is good, and yes its good.... for a mobile game and not pc game standart (RDR 2 for me is still had the best graphic) and its not well optimized.

• The UI is too crowded for me and i understand this because this is a mobile game first and foremost

• PAIMON IS SO ANNOYING!!!

• The open world is really interesting to explore at first hour. Collecting chest, exploring dungeons, killing enemies, doing side stories, etc. But after a while, the world feels somewhat empty and the game become quite repetitive at long play (dunno if this true at later updates though)

• The stamina system is bad, almost everything you do cost a stamina (sprinting, climbing and gliding) and the weird part is all characters share the same stamina

• The Gacha system is meh... the rate is so low and to get better characters (or waifus) and weapons, gacha is a must because all obtainable weapons in the world are pretty bad. I rather pay $60 and all characters( or waifus) and weapons can be unlocked by progressing the game rather than spend $100 to get a single character (or waifu) and weapon

I know this is a shameless copy of BOTW but this isn't bad at all, the game has its own taste with the themes and identity.

I can't say the story is good or bad though but i really hope the story doesn't take too long to finish ( i say this because i play Honkai Impact 3rd and bored with the game because the story takes too long and no end in sight as of now and gameplay is too repetitive).

I've progressed a decent bit into the game so I guess it's time for a review since it's not going to end anytime soon:

Combat: (8/10)

Combat system is very simple to learn but a bit difficult to master. There are normal and charged attacks. No dedicated button to dodge but you can jump or sprint from attacks. Parry and shield are only available for certain characters. There are elemental bursts (E and Q in pc) - powerups with cooldowns. And there are elemental reactions which you can use to your advantage (e.g use freeze/cryo near water to freeze enemies, affect them with fire and then use anemo/wind to produce the reaction 'swirl'). Upto midgame in both open world and quests, combat is nothing difficult and you can easily win most battles if you level up your characters and put some effort into building them with proper artifacts.

Open World Aspect: (8/10)

The world is huge, and it has small encounters, treasures, puzzles and challenges, but despite that it feels empty sometimes. The character moves very slowly, there's no mount so it gets a bit tedious. Gliding is only possible if you jump for a higher place.

The combat being fairly simple and there being too many encounters, the game gets a bit repetitive sometimes. But some of the puzzles are really good - for eg, the three mountain puzzles near Mt Aocang is really good.

Quests: (9/10)

The main quests are extremely good. Side quests have a lot of fetch quests and they might get boring. Commissions are okay, though they are mostly 'fight hillichurl' types. There are random events and world quests too if you start exploring the world which is fun.

Characters and Interactions: (5/10)

This is probably the worst part of the game for me. The dialogues are terrible and repetitive. Voice acting is okay for the chinese version. But I don't get why Paimon keeps repeating the same words? Is that supposed to be cute? It's annoying. And her English voice is downright garbage.

Most of the time I don't really care about what the characters are saying because of this repetition. I enjoy getting the characters and using them in combat though.

Music: (10/10)

The best part of the game. I love how the exploration theme and battle themes mix together. It's extremely good. Stormterror Lair is one of the most beautiful ost I've heard.

Graphics is okay as it is to be expected in this kind of game. Co-op is fun. Gacha aspect is annoying, but can't complain when it's a gacha game to begin with. Overall, it's a good game if you can tolerate annoying dialogues. Solid 8/10 game from me.

It's an overall great game! Gameplay runs pretty smooth and the lore of this game is amazing!! I love how much time they have put into this game and I hope they keep updating it. I love the variaty of characters and everything. The only reason I didn't give it a ten was because of how suggestive some of the outfits have come to be and therefore I have gave it a 9.

Reasons to play: Voice acting Good characters Engaging fighting Continuous updates Can be either F2P or not Lots of lore

Reasons not to play: Suggestive outfits Adventure rank grinding sucks You can lose lots of money to the gacha system if you want Alcohol reference (If that sort of thing bugs you)

What I say: PLAY IT!! It's amazing and I think it's great! Rating: 13+

U can play only 30 minutes for day without recharge resin or primo ... * RIP tryhards *
