Genshin Impact is what happens when you try to cross a full fledged open world game and a gacha game into one singular experience, and what you get is something that fails on both ends. With a bland and uninteresting story, one note characters that constantly adhere to annoying and overdone anime tropes, a world that is empty yet filled with boring and lackluster rewards just to keep you exploring, and a gacha and currency system that screws over everyone, Genshin Impact is a very surprising game. Surprising in how it reached such popularity despite being a mediocre and boring game. Not very recommended.
