Is this over genshin impact? I don't understand why people like that game so much, I played it a bit and was just staggeringly disappointed that they took what could have been a fun rpg game base and turned it into a waifu collection sim
I was really disappointed because I like games that let you climb all the terrain :( but I have no patience for waifuism
I tried it back when it launched and it was genuinely a very well made game in terms of actual gameplay, but then literally all the progression was just 100% pure RNG bullshit and gacha pulls, which fucking suck completely on every level. I genuinely don't understand how slot machines like that are addictive, because you do nothing and then you lose and that's it that's the whole mechanic you're just non-interactively losing over and over every time you look at it. Gacha mechanics ruin games and should not exist.
The first 80 to 100 hours or so are high quality BOTW-style open world exploration and a somewhat fun combat system
But yeah it's just a generic gacha after that.
This is the impression I got early on too. I remember at launch a lot of people were hyped up for it and the first hour or two looked pretty fun and promising, then nope welcome to gacha hell
Most of the big gacha games to come out in the last five years or so except Uma Musume are Chinese, and most of those are copying Genshin to varying degrees.
