Lasting Appeal

Expansive Open World with Beautiful Art Design
Genshin Impact offers a vast, visually stunning world filled with diverse regions, each inspired by real-world cultures. From the towering cliffs of Liyue to the tranquil cherry blossoms of Inazuma, exploration feels endlessly rewarding thanks to hidden chests, puzzles, and lore.
Elemental Combat System with Strategic Depth
The game’s combat is built around switching between characters and combining elemental abilities (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, etc.) for powerful reactions. This encourages creative team-building and tactical thinking, making battles engaging even at higher levels.
Frequent Updates and New Content
miHoYo consistently rolls out major updates, including new characters, events, regions, and story chapters. The live-service model keeps the game fresh and gives players frequent reasons to return without needing to purchase a sequel.

Gacha System and Monetization Model
Character and weapon acquisition relies heavily on the gacha system, which can feel pay-to-win or luck-dependent. Free-to-play users may find it difficult to obtain top-tier characters without spending money or grinding extensively.
Stamina and Resin Limits
The game imposes limits on exploration and progression through stamina (used for climbing and gliding) and Resin (used for farming rewards). These constraints can hinder momentum and frustrate players who want longer play sessions.
Repetitive Late-Game Content
While early and mid-game offer variety, the endgame can become grindy. Domains, Ley Line Outcrops, and Spiral Abyss may feel repetitive, with less narrative or exploration-driven content compared to earlier regions.
