4★I really love this game, having played on-and-off since release. The story is great (a bit slow at points), the character designs are phenomenal and the soundtrack is beautiful, too. However, there are aspects I am still waiting to change. The co-op mode feels rudimentary and unsatisfying. No event weapons/pets come back once they pass. A cutscene skip feature and better artifact grinding would help so much with the gameplay experience.

3★I LOVE this game, it has lots of stuff even sometimes I feel suffocated by it, but the domains of enemies especially when it's timed is tiring. Even when my character's levels are way higher than the enemies, I somehow can't seem to kill most of the enemies in the time limit... it's an amazing game but sometimes it forces me into a quest like: Palace of the Vision Serpent, I can't leave it and go back to Co-Op, it's super annoying and I can't even play with friends, only talk..

5★I love this game so much but I will admit it takes up alot of space and has trouble with lagging and loading but that's only if you play it on your phone so I recommend playing on a gaming console. The art style and animation is beautiful and looks like it took alot of time and effort to make. The stories and quests are really fun. And I find it fun to try and work hard to get characters , it's very rewarding. Also make sure you get a lyre to play because it sounds so pretty.

2★I've played Genshin since launch, and as much as I like the game, I can't recommend to play it in 2026. Quests have been, and still are, extremely boring. There's no skip button for quests, events are monotonous and tedious, and the game's lost it's "spark" (at least for me). There's tons of content and exploration, but endgame powercreep is a problem and the gatcha system is pretty bad - you'd spend upwards of 400 dollars for a character if you don't have any premium currency to start with.

1★The gameplay and everything that doesn't involve leveling up or adventure level is amazing. But the leveling up and adventure level along with enhancing. Anything with levels is very tedious. I wish it was easier to do these things. Which is why I had to make it 1 star. It would be a 5. The gameplay and stories are not the problem. But the side questing isn't enjoyable for me. I'd rather do more Archon quests and story quests. But the tedious ways to level up make it almost impossible.
