An anime-style action RPG developed and published by miHoYo(known as Hoyoverse overseas) in 2020.
Probably one of the most polarizing games that ever came out since Grand Theft Auto V or The Last of Us Part 2, as you will get two completely different responses depending on who you ask despite its huge audience.
Fans and some reviewers praise the game for its well-crafted world, diverse cast of characters, engaging gameplay mechanics, excellent BGM, and rich, engaging story.
On the other hand, critics derided the game as a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ripoff due to their similarities shown in earlier footage. It also doesn't help that there were allegations about in-game censorship and spyware during the game's early days, further souring its reputation. Its gacha system is also a point of contention in the West, due to its luck-based nature that is similar to gambling.
Stereotypically speaking, Genshin Impact players in the West are seen as 500lb neckbeard pedophiles; and in the East, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan, you will be seen as a CCP bootlicker who has trash taste and no integrity.

Fans: I'm amazed by how well-made the game is despite its Chinese origins. If you would ask me where this game came from, I would not have guessed that it is from China.
Critics: Genshin Impact is a piece of trash insulting the gaming industry and creativity. Why bother putting in blood, sweat and tears to create something great when you can just rip off somebody else's hard work and watch those neckbeards forking out their entire life savings for their anime waifu? The game only belongs in one place: the landfill.

Get the Genshin Impact playermug. A forbidden game which when played, instantly adds 50 kilograms of fat on your body and generates a fatal allergy to grass. Playing Genshin Impact puts the gamer at a huge risk of losing their father or sometimes both parental figures Genshin Impact is simialar to league of legends and other various anime-related video games which have the same effects on any life forms.
