30:30 Is Genshin Impact Worth It in 2023?
A lot has changed since my initial Genshin Impact review. The new region of Sumeru was released along with an expansion to the main quest. Dendro was added to the game, creating a bunch of additional elemental reactions and combat options. There's a new trading card game mode… and I'm no longer free-to-play.
This ended up being a much longer review than I initially planned because I cover a lot of aspects of the game in-depth. So we’re going DEEP in this video, but the TLDW version is this - Genshin Impact is a phenomenal game that I’ve grown to love over the past five months. That being said, the game also has noteworthy flaws that are worth criticizing. My goal with this review is not to convince you to play Genshin Impact, but give you a solid overview of what to expect so you can decide whether it’s something worth playing for you.
The combat in Genshin Impact is phenomenal; the upgrade and progression systems are really satisfying but also tedious and grindy at times; the story is really enjoyable but sometimes the cutscenes run way too long and it feels like I’m watching a movie instead of playing a game; there’s a ton of content for new players to enjoy, with new content being added frequently at an impressive rate; but there’s a distinct lack of challenging combat-focused endgame content for more hardcore players to enjoy. And then there’s the gacha system.
