Genshin Impact review 

The Genshin Impact anime game has been deemed by many to be a rip off of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild as it follows a similar role-playing mechanism. But, the game stands true on its owns as players spend some time with the game as it will take some time before they can understand what is actually going on. The game begins with a cutscene where a god-like creature takes players' twin avatar in the game in captivity. The same creature then takes away the powers of the player's character to travel from world to world.

Thus the player is left to embark on a journey to find the twin which leads to major revelations and quests. Players have to complete quests and dungeons which allows them to get their hands on some eye-catching avatars. Players can switch out their main character in place of an acquired avatar through the in-game paid mechanics.

Though the main game has an overall arch of finding the main character's twin, the game has an open-world which keeps a player busy with side quests. The comparison with The Legend of Zelda at this point is unavoidable cause the game's open-world is heavily inspired by it, thus reminding player's of a better game they can always get back to.

The open-world games have been subjected to complaints that they fall flat after a while. However, Genshin Impact's open-world manages to keep things interesting throughout its runtime. Overall, Genshin Impact is a fun game which anime fans will enjoy and staple gaming fans would find interesting to have a look at.
