No other game is able to impress me and subtly piss me off quite as much as Genshin lol. All of the single player content is incredible and I’m really digging exploring the new areas… and I generally hate mindless exploration - but Genshin is one of the best at it.

Of course the gacha mechanics are still there and still annoying, but the more content they add the less annoying they become because you’re soft-forced into them less and less.

Really digging Inazuma and all the not-so-subtle jabs at the Japanese lol.

Also the opera scene at the end of the Liuye arc was top notch. Incredible stuff.

Anyway the game is huge and free nothing to lose by trying it if you’re bored except 80gbs of hard disk space. Definitely DO NOT spend any money on it. I have tons of hours in it now and have not spent a dime and don’t regret it.

Without the gacha mechanics it would easily be one of the best games of all time. With them I’ll give it a solid 7 or maybe even an 8. Glad the post about it recently got me back into it.

If anyone feels like talking bout their fav characters or whatver I use Razor for my carry and Xiangling and Xingqiu for my swaps and the last spot I’ve been rotating Sucrose / Barbara / Lumine / Fischl depending.

Anyway yeah, back on my Genshin bullshit.
