Expansive Open World with Stunning Visuals
Genshin Impact offers a breathtaking anime-style open world filled with lush landscapes, hidden secrets, and dynamic weather systems. Each region—like Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru—features distinct cultural inspiration, music, and terrain, creating a rich and immersive experience.
Diverse Character Roster and Elemental Combat
Players can collect and build a team of characters, each with unique elemental abilities (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, etc.). The combat system encourages creative combinations and strategy, especially with Elemental Reactions like Melt, Overload, and Freeze.
Cross-Platform Play and Regular Updates
Available on PC, mobile, PlayStation, and now Mac, Genshin Impact supports cross-save and cross-play. Frequent updates bring new characters, regions, events, and story chapters, keeping the game fresh and active for long-time fans and newcomers alike.

Gacha System and RNG Frustration
The game’s monetization relies heavily on a gacha (loot box) system to obtain new characters and weapons. The low pull rates and reliance on luck can be frustrating for players, especially those who don’t spend money or miss limited-time banners.
Endgame Content Lacks Variety
While the early and mid-game offer tons of content, the endgame can feel repetitive. Activities like Spiral Abyss and daily commissions offer diminishing rewards over time, leaving many high-level players wanting more challenging, rewarding experiences.
Resin System Limits Playtime
The original resin system restricts how much high-tier content (like domains or bosses) players can complete daily. Although slightly improved, it still creates a time-gated ceiling that can slow down progression or discourage daily engagement.
