Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG developed by the Chinese studio miHoYo (also known globally as HoYoverse). It was released in September 2020 and quickly made headlines for its stunning visuals, atmospheric soundtrack, and surprisingly rich story. At first glance, many players compared it to titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but after spending some time with it, you realize it has its own distinct identity and rhythm.
The game takes place in the world of Teyvat, a land divided into different regions, each inspired by real-world cultures and mythologies. You begin as "The Traveler," separated from your sibling under mysterious circumstances. Your main journey revolves around exploring Teyvat, uncovering the truth behind the world's gods (the Archons), and eventually reuniting with your lost sibling. That core narrative is surprisingly emotional at times—something I honestly didn't expect when I first tried it.
Gameplay-wise, Genshin mixes exploration, combat, and character collection. Characters are obtained through a "wish" system, which is essentially a gacha-style mechanic. Some players enjoy chasing rare characters; others stick with what they have and still find plenty to do. Battles rely heavily on elemental reactions—combining elements like fire, water, and ice to trigger explosive effects. It adds a nice layer of strategy that keeps fights from feeling repetitive.
"What stands out the most, at least to me, is how the world feels alive. Simple things like gliding over a valley at sunset or stumbling upon a hidden chest during a quiet walk give the game a certain charm."
Even if you're not usually into anime-style games, Genshin has a way of winning people over with consistency and detail. 🌄✨
Of course, like any game with ongoing updates, there's always more to learn—new areas, events, and characters keep the world evolving.
