We thought it was “amazing” when it was published in 2020, granting him 9/10 in Ign Genshin Impact ReviewWriting: “Genshin Impact is an amazing adventure with an open world that strongly draws both the breath of wild and anime inspiration to create something really special. Even if the Gach model presents some undesirable grinding, a great fight, addictive exploration and beautiful world, it makes one of the most exciting games in which I played.”
