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

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

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 for free. For real.

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.

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.

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.

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. However, it doesn’t take too much away from the general enjoyment that I get from the game. You should definitely give the game a try.

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 of action RPGs.

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 all the mountains, even if it means extending the quest by a few minutes. You won't find this kind of combat system in any other game and it will seem strange at first, but you'll get used to it after a while. You won't have to take your eyes off the game for a moment, it's available on IOS, Android and PS4 and is planned for PS5 and Switch.

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.

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 of objectives and originality.

Genshin Impact is an incredible action RPG which takes players on a free, story and character driven adventure. The current regions of Teyvat are filled with secrets and areas to explore and enjoy. The version 1.0 has some issues but those are mostly outweighed by a really good package coming out of the game's launch.

Genshin Impact is really a "Third Impact" for the video games industry

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 have endless hours of fun to experience.

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 high-quality content: There is hardly a JRPG that can reach this high level. China is entering the game market with a unprecedented load of talent and a completely new commercialization model that will give some triple-A giants a lot to think about. But in the end all of this is irrelevant, because only one thing counts: There has never been so much pure fun for free.

Despite being free to play, Genshin Impact has as many good points as any paid games on the market. It has beautiful visuals, interesting history, a vast and rich world and varied and fun characters. Unfortunately, a few negative aspects, linked to its free-to-play structure, limit the quality of the overall package. Still, the title is worth the experience and is a recommended adventure.

During my time with Genshin Impact, I fell in love with it. After only a few hours, my thoughts about what this adventure was faded away as it truly evolves into a unique experience. There’s a fine level of detail that went into crafting this beautiful world, and you can’t help but want to see every inch of it. Although the grind and the gachas systems are present, this is a game that I will gladly return to again and again. Regardless, all of this is available for free, so nothing stops you from finding out for yourself.

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 also pretty easy to learn but will take quite some time to master all the mechanics in the game, and honestly, I’m fine with that
