Review: Genshin Impact

Players in love with their Genshin Impact gameplay know switcheroos between units are essential to keep combat momentum while also ensuring their rotations are well-recharged. However, players worrying about consistent reactions and producing subpar damage can easily bypass these woes with one factor: bring a Hydro character with them. Their presence will almost always add a dynamic twist to the battlefield courtesy of their compatibility with quite a lot of other Elements - making their attacks more potent due to consistent Reactions (Vaporize with Pyro, Hyperbloom and Burgeon with Dendro, Freeze with Cryo, Electro-Charged with Elect

Since Diona is a four-star character, obtaining her constellations will not be that difficult. But if you want to save your Primos for a future character, Constellation 2 can be considered a great stopping point. Further Constellations are just a bo

Though the story elements won't be to everyone's taste -- and as such, the efforts the game makes to inject a sense of drama and interpretation stakes can fall flat and veer into being completely off-putting -- the sheer breadth and scale that Genshin Impact offers means that the brief lows in no way impact on the many lofty highs offered up. A free-to-play game whose content rivals the more higher-budgeted AAA releases of the past few years. Where miHoYo's inspirations and references may be a little too on-the-nose or obvious in parts, it's similarly made up for via its wealth of content and of an exploration element that is well designed, but more importantly brilliantly emergent. In one moment, it might be the intrigue of a distant landmark, or in another the wild and flashy power-trip that is its elemental-based combat. Wherever it takes you, Genshin Impact is a more-than-convincing proposition, not least for those adamant on never spending a single cent in-SLG game Cheats. The grind to get there may not always feel wholly natural or that players are genuinely being left to wander without restraint, but Genshin Impact's meticulous approach to environment design above all pulls through in many wonderful ways. Crafting one of the year's more immersive and surprisingly rich open-world RPGs.

This powerful Elemental Burst is perfect for setting up Elemental Reactions and healing your main DPS if they are running low on health. The area covered by the Drunken Mist is quite huge and can be incredibly useful in dealing with hordes of enemies. If you have a C6 Diona, the Healing Bonus will be increased by 30 percent when characters are below 50 percent HP. And if the characters are above 50 percent HP, their Elemental Mastery will be buffed by

When a player pulls a five-star character, there is a 50% chance that it will be the featured character. This is called "winning" the 50/50. However, there is also a 50% chance it could be a permanently-available Standard Banner character. These characters are Jean, Diluc, Qiqi, Keqing, Mona, Dehya, Tighnari, and Mizuki. They are always available on the Standard Banner, Wanderlust Invocation. This is called "losing" the 50

Choosing a game to be thankful for in 2020 can be tricky. Given the current state of the world and how many of us are looking for ways to keep occupied while cooped up, I feel like we should be thankful for virtually any good, engaging games. But the one that I was thankful for the most is a game that felt optimistic, warm, comforting and colorful. Even if said game is about ferrying the souls of the dead towards the afterlife. I am, of course, referring to Thunder Lotus' Spiritfarer. Aside from being a possible GOTY contender in general, Spiritfarer hit a certain sweet spot for me, not only giving me the freedom to craft an insane ship filled with tons of activities and giving me an open world to explore, but also providing one of the year's best casts of characters. Azul, Gustav, Stanley...all of them were a blast to hang out with and I truly felt a bond between them as I learned more about their stories.
