Genshin Impact is an open-world role-playing game, in which you as one of umpteen possible characters explore a huge fantasy world. Who gets promptly allergy rashes with Anime clichés, may be deterred by the optics, but the first voices are itself united: The thing is also in the far genre comparison a rather fun affair.
The Open World offers an impressive freedom. Like in Breath of the Wild, you can go anywhere, climb any mountain, explore any hut. Wind and weather are simulated interactively. You can freeze lakes, let the wind carry you through the air, set things on fire. And this also extends to the racy fights: Attacking mobs will promptly burn their wooden shields, while fire enemies will faint completely in the rain.
And then, unlike in Breath of the Wild, there are countless different characters with whom you can explore the dungeons and areas of the Open World. In the gameplay core there is more classic role-playing than in Zelda: You level every single character and thus improve your chances in battle. And of course there’s a story, but we can’t tell you anything about that yet.
