Genshin Impact – Roleplaying Game Review

It’s rated 12+ and currently has 559,100+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Genshin Impact Stand Out
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds…
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the world's top orchestras such as London Philharmonic Orchestra and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer… But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
WANDER THE THOUSAND STARS, SHAPE MYRIADS OF WONDERLANDS

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We enjoy this game for the multiple ways to play, you can invite friends, and do whatever, wishing is really fun especially on a banner you might like.
Genshin creators and owner we dont know how u come up with these amazing characters our fav characters are columbine hu Tao Varesa.
Its a very fun adventure game and the combat is the finest we've played.
We found out our friend was colorblind because they thought Kaeya was purple.
RERUN HER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Do NOT DOWNLOAD IT TAKES UP 38 GBS AND TAKES UP ALL YOUR STORAGE IF YOU CAN'T GET THE GBS THEN YOU HAVE TO PLAY A DUMB DEMO. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT'S A SCAM.
Very fun game we love the design but we are so unlucky even with hard pity we barely get characters and we dont like how much fan service there is.
We love the game because it gives a fairytale vibe and the characters.
Ok we dont even know where to start! When we first saw Genshin a couple of years ago we thought it was just another game that we would start then drop but nope! This game has an amazing storyline that always has us engaged we genuinely dont think Ive ever been this interested in a game before. The character designs and backstories are sooo good and so sad especially Furinas. We honestly dont think theres anything that we dont like in this game other than the gacha system we think you guys just need to make it a little more f2p friendly like HSR other than that we LOVE THIS GAME.
It is a great app we love it it you like adventure this we the app for you.
We adore Genshin, very very much, and the people in co-op 8/10 are very nice! Plently of things and events to do! We do wish it was easier to get primos and we do wish it was a bit more like HSR where you can get more gems for quests, Easier grinding, fast grinding, More resin, And maybe a place when you can trade somthing in for a free standerd banner 5 star! We also wish some dead charecters were playable like in hoyoverses other games! Would be super cool if we could play charecters like that. Thx for reading (also playable dottore please).
Hey, we're new to Genshin Impact and accidentally registered with the wrong birth year. We were born in 2010 but put 2015 because of our nails. We can't change it, so we really need your help! And it keeps talking about parent email but we can't even put our real age but the game looks good we just can't play because we want/ned to pit our real year!!! Sorry for any grammar mistakes our nails are not helping.
Fun game with lots of action and content. Just dont play on an iPhone 11.
We love this game, though we wish you could change the weapon of the traveler, other than that, best game ever, and we wish our main account with neuvi and Wrio didnt get deleted for literally not putting our zip code in. Kinda mad about that, but.
Fire graphics/storyline; paimon is great emergency food.
We really like this game we wish it was easier to get characters though.
Super fun game with plenty of events that are super fun and if you really like DND its like DND in a video game.
Such an amazing game and wow the gameplay of every character is amazing! We recommend this game if youre a anime lover!!! This game has amazing archon quests and story quest and we love the wishing system too! We even love how there are bunch of characters and bunch of places to explore. Totally recommended.
Ive been playing this game since launch and it has quickly become one of our favorites. It has an amazing story as well as fun gameplay that keeps advancing as more regions get added.
This game is filled with cool battles and amazing characters designs :3.
Well first we were like oh k we log in once right? Well nope. Ive already logged in 200 times bcuz every week or so it makes u log in again and it takes sooooooooooooooooo long to download.
We honestly think that this is our favorite game. The graphics and gameplay quality are to DIE FOR.
Good game overall -long cutscenes -good story and storytelling -good graphics -big map? -entertaining.
We love genshin is been our life; however there is one issue; the 5 star pulling system; we dont like how you have to spend money to get the 5 stars you want; we were lucky enough to get Durin after 1 month of building pity before he came out; but other than that we have to go through 5 banners (im a gambler) till we have the pity for s five star we dont want but other than that; ITS AN AMAZING GAME.
Great game but one thing is that you. Should add a skip button because the dialogue is way too long but otherwise a great game one of our favorites.
We love the app and Im not a paitent person but this is the exception this app is so good we reccomend it for people who love soft music and the backstories are just awesome our fav character is varesa and Im glad they brought her and xiolen back for trial stages.
Waifus bonitos combos exploracin buenas tt todo lo que debe tener un juego.
Graphics amazing game trust its a great download and its free is even crazier.
5 literally stars our favorite game ever our brother got us into the game we love it now and our username is sleepy if you want to play with us and pls play freaking game can u add the cat girl that was sitting on the picnic table she looks like a good character to use. Oh and can u bring back Raiden and let us get her c6 bc its our dream to have her c6 and can u remove Qiqi shes really annoying bc we loose our 50/50.
OH MY GOD FURINA IS SO PEAK PLEASE MAKE MORE CHARACTERS LIKE HER SHES SO PERFECT.
A great game but Im having some issues that we dont have no storage but we only have a little bit of stuff if you could please fix this problem.
We think its an amazing game we like the designs the story we have no problems with it its really fun and easy to play please involve us with more games like this.
We love the game bc Kazhua but am not played in 3.5 years bc we have life and we play ball and stuff.
Our love and joy for this game is immense. We recommend. Or not. Now im addicted. Send help. (also for current players: OMG THE EVENTS LATELY ARE GIVING SO MANY PRIMOS ).
Theres so much stuff and we have ADHD so we multitask no matter what, fire game and ready for columbina.
We love this game but we dont like when we have to defeat things in a specific amount of seconds but otherwise its really fun.
We love this game. Technically its a combat, anime game. Sadly people hate this game but we love it.
This game is SO FUN! We love it and it keeps us occupied while we're bored. But honestly all the places, bosses, characters and more are all so cool!! (Especially Hu Tao-) we love this game and we cannot get off of it now.
READ THIS REVIEW FIRST So much to say so little to type after a few battles it just got weird a bf and baby!?! We mean we dont mind ,but just the outfits ah-mazing. We love the moves and friends you make! Yeah Im just lazy to write more so thats all but play this game TODAY(and maybe more if you like this game) we eat this game p.s. Recommendations, pls get animals to fight with and play with in a pet park.
Ive played this game for a couple years now, and wow! It really is impressive beyond words! The cutscenes are just insane for a free game, and the art, lore, and animation is just crazy! Im not too good at keeping up with accounts, so Ive had to replay this game many times and Ive had fun each time ! The one thing we will say, is that we had made a lot of progress in our account (we were a bit younger at this time) so it kicked us out for some reason, and we had to verify to get back inyeah it makes us smilee BUTTT it asked to use a personal id or credit card number to verify! We think that is stupid, and maybe the game was just hackedyeah it makes us smilee we didnt trust it and we made a new account (lost all our progress) buttt we havent seen a bug like that in a whileyeah it makes us smilee sorry this is so long, bye.
We have been playing for soo long and mihoyo has never let us down we love the scenery to the point were we had a lot of photos of the scenery.
We love this game so much it gives us time to chillax and u windows with adventure stories and mysteries after school.
The plot and story itself is so fun and the combat is fantastic! We also adore the characters designs and graphics in general. This game is super duper cool and fun and its honestly in our top 5 of all time ! :D.
-Let's get rid of the yawning. – Finally figured out how to save space without downloading the whole game we wish we knew that months ago. This game made treasure hunting fun again.
Genshin has been our comfort game for almost 3 years, the developers always add innovative new updates and the character are all well designed and fun to play. We would definitely recommend this game.
The game is really good and fun but it takes a lot of storage and the full version didnt even load fast it took a whole 18 hours to download. We recommend to play this game on a separate phone so when you need other apps it doesnt say not enough storage.
Iansan and chevreuse back to back :).
