What is it? Genshin Impact perfectly combines relaxed exploration and elaborate grinding. With the huge world and tricky puzzles, it never gets boring on the overworld. Various enemies with numerous skills and abilities are waiting to be taken down by you.
The game also offers dungeons that you can tackle in co-op mode in Genshin Impact. You can farm in dungeons with up to four players or explore the overworld together, taking down enemies and bosses.
The action RPG comes with a total of 42 different characters, each with a unique design. Some of them you will receive as gifts, while others can be obtained from the gacha banners (a kind of random mechanic through which you can roll for new heroes).
What are the core features? The adventure game Genshin Impact primarily consists of exploring the vast world, completing quests, and grinding to optimally equip your characters. However, the existing stamina system prevents you from endlessly farming dungeons.
Like typical mobile games, you can loot bosses and dungeons only limited times. Afterwards, you have to wait until your stamina, called resin, is sufficiently replenished.
Moreover, the gacha aspect should not be overlooked. Those who want to use many characters will need to collect the in-game currency called fates for a long time to obtain a specific hero.
Genshin Impact has no PvP and focuses on pure PvE content, so you can take as much time as you want for perfecting your gear. The goal is to defeat monsters and collect resources to upgrade your characters.
The action RPG features both bright and friendly environments as well as dark and mystical places. The story quests are fully voiced and offer fantastic cutscenes in cartoon graphics. The music is always chosen to fit the respective locations, which so far have been inspired by China, Germany, and Japan.
Who should play it? Anyone with a penchant for anime or a liking for cartoon aesthetics should definitely check out Genshin Impact. Also, those among you who enjoy open-world exploration will find great pleasure in the game.
For puzzle and grinding fans, there are definitely challenges with the sometimes tricky puzzles and equipping the characters. Moreover, those who are not into PvP will find a welcome PvE diversion in Genshin Impact.
