Genshin Remains Impactful (Gacha Update)

If you told me two weeks ago that Genshin Impact would become my new, favorite leisurely grind, I would’ve raised an eyebrow and go “Are you sure about that?”. Fast forward to the present and I’ve already sunk more time and effort into this Free to Play adventure than most $60 paid titles. Genshin also marks the first time I’ve EVER given a single dime to a Gacha based IP. Now, fully invested in the end-game grind, I have yet to feel any sort of burnout or that I have hit the expected paywall normally associated with F2P games.

I look forward to completing my daily Commissions, running weekly and daily objectives for the Battle Pass, and hunting down the last bits of Geoculus  I need to complete the damn ‘Nine Pillars’ World Quest. Now, we’re on the eve of another update that changes the Pools of characters and weapons we can pull from the Wishing system. The Epitome Invocation gives us the chance to snag new, devastating weapons such as Wolf’s Gravestone and the Sacrificial Greatsword. The real meat n’ potatoes here is the change in potential Heroes. Klee is the headlining star here. With her bombastic combat attributes and unique Talents that are designed to keep Klee at max power as often as possible.

The increased chance to pull Alchemist Sucrose is sure to please fans as she’s become something of a cult favorite. Xingqui and Noelle round out the list of possible improved pulls from the event banner (Don’t sleep on Noelle. She’s actually really good with a solid DPS+Tank build!). Whatever you may be gunning for, there’s something for everyone to look forward to here.

How have your adventures been going? Still grinding away daily? Saving up as many Primogems as you can?

Adventure Awaits

First announced back in 2019, studio miHoYo’s Genshin Impact has finally arrived for iOS, Android, PC, and the PS4. While a Switch version has been confirmed, a specific date is yet to be set. The game features vibrant, detailed visuals, an open world to explore, fast and stylish combat, and a wealth of quests to complete along side what is to be a grand and engrossing narrative. Oh, and it’s also Free-to-Play. If your first impression is “Hey…This reminds of Breath of the Wild…” trust me, you’re not alone. The aesthetic is strikingly similar, but that’s where the similarities end.

Genshin Impact is a much faster and over the top experience with flourishes, big special attacks, a wide variety of enemy designs, and multiple unique characters to take into combat. I’d be hard pressed to believe that many people won’t actually enjoy this more than BOTW (myself unabashedly included). Either way, it’s F2P and is absolutely worth trying out.

Available on: iOS, Android, PC, and PS4
