Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe from the COVID-19. You know it you’ve seen it all over the gaming outlet sources, maybe you’ve even played it but Genshin Impact is the trending game right now and here’s why.
First off the world is amazingly beautiful, I’ve only played the game on my phone and I’m in love with it. Some people say that it’s a copy of Zelda but I’ve never played Zelda so I can’t be the judge of that. The world is beautifully constructed with all the bushes being destructible, you can swing your sword at a tree to make the fruits fall and everything is climbable and I mean everything, every building every cliff, every wall. I am personally a fan of parkour and I love games that have climbing in them so this was a good plus point. Also you get a glider that can help you fly after you jump off a building or a high cliff but beware the amount of time you can spend in air is proportional to the stamina you have and you do not want stamina to run out at the wrong time. There are also water bodies like lakes which you can cross by swimming across or at least you can try to but if the stamina runs out, then God help you.
The story is about twins who are travelling the world but are interrupted by an unknown God and one of the twins is taken away you can choose which twin you want to play as though it doesn’t affect the gameplay at all. You team up with Paimon your very own personal travel companion and emergency food (the ones who have played the game will get this joke) so anyway you set out on a journey to find your sibling in the fictional world of Teyvat, you come across the city in the centre of the lake Monstad a nation that worships the wind God. You meet a lot of new characters who teach you different stuff like giving you a wind glider or teaching you how to mine metals to get stuff made from blacksmiths. The story progresses fast although many things that you do seem to have no significance to the quest to find your sibling but it’s all entertaining nevertheless.
The combat is great so great that it feels good even on mobile. I can’t wait to experience it on a console or on PC. The system is fluid allowing you to chain your elemental and weapon attacks. You can create a party of four that all have different elemental attacks so that you can change in between them to take enemies out. An example would be that you can use a water or cyro element attack to make enemies wet or freeze them then you can use your electric element attack to make them go into overload and explode taking away a chunk of their health. The elements can have uses in exploration as well, a lake that can’t be crossed due to the long distance of water can be crossed by using Cyro attacks to freeze the water and walking over it, if a cliff is too high you can use a wind user to create a wind gust and ride it up. It’s basically all about using the elements to make up for the low stamina.
The game has a Gacha system like many of the MMORPG’S but it’s very generous with its ‘wishes’ the currency used to summon characters or weapons. The weapons you use need to be upgraded over time to meet your level which you also need to upgrade and it’s not even challenging I’m a few hours into the game and I have 2 characters on Level 20 with a level 20 weapon. There is also an enhancement and refinement system that helps you better the weapons that you wield. Having a vast array of characters is also important as it will help you use a variety of different elemental attacks and weapon attacks.
In short Genshin Impact is an amazing game with good graphics and a gameplay mechanism that isn’t pay to play and it provides a fun engaging story too. The game makes sure that there are always awesome moments and also locks certain quests behind an Adventurer Level so that you explore the world and do the side quests which are equally engaging and fun as the main story. My advice is that you definitely need to play this game, It is free to play and available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Android and iOS. The game is also planned for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Play it and tell me how you felt and if you ever want to form a party in my DM’s.
So that is it for this post guys hope you got some value from this. Thank you guys for reading to the end hit me up on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn with your thoughts and if you have any ideas which I should write about. Stay safe from the COVID-19. Thank you again and I’ll see you all next week.
