Genshin Impact is a massively popular free to play open world anime gatcha RPG that initially released back in 2020, I played the game for a bit back at launch but I had no idea how popular this game would go on to be and as of October 2023 the game has over 64 million players logging in to play every month which is 4 times the amount it had back at launch.

In 2023 Genshin is available to play on multiple platforms including PC PS4 & 5, Andriod and iOS and over the years has had numerous updates that both expand the roster of collectable characters and the size of the world.

So why do people play Genshin?
Well I think there’s a few reasons but the main ones being collecting waifus, enjoying the games unique elemental reaction based action combat system, the fact that Genshin has the largest open world out of any anime game in existence and it’s also heavily story driven so you’re basically playing an anime and with every update the community is basically experiencing a new episode of that anime together.

In this video I’ll revisit Genshin Impact in 2023 to see if the game can hook me in more this time compared to back at launch.

What do think about Genshin Impact 4.2 in 2023? Is Genshin still the king of anime gatcha RPGs? let me know in the comments below!

I thought I wouldn't enjoy this video, because the Genshin Impact starter experience is basically the same for almost everyone, but Peon went ahead and reached the point where everyone starts loving this game.

Edit: Holy shit, he didn't use Neuvillette's charged attack a single time.

[CactusbIah]

The main story quests have been getting better and better. The Sumeru and Fontaine finales were absolutely kino.

[sanctus]

Music is S tier quite literally. Yu Peng Chen and the Hoyo-Mix team are truly modernizing classical music its so good. Yu-Peng Chen is no longer with Hoyo-Mix but the game is in good hands. Fontaine's OST is absolutely gorgeous.

[hardy]

If you like exploration this game is for you. The world map is absolutely massive it's insane, but ON TOP of that, there's several maps underground or in different areas, as well as temporary maps for events which, for one off events are fairly large themselves.

This game is an exploration lovers dream. lol

[melonati]

You need to level up Anemo and Geo Statues of the Seven to solve your stamina problem. :) It doesn't go away completely, but becomes pretty minor after.

[virtualstring]

Tip for those who want to play in borderless windowed mode, add a shortcut for the game (not the launcher) to your desktop, open the Properties on it and add " -screen-fullscreen 0 -popupwindow" at the end of the Target textbox (without the quotes). Then play the game using that desktop shortcut. If there are updates, you'll just have to start the launcher as you do now, update it, and then you can keep using this shortcut again.
No idea why they haven't fixed it yet, but hope it helps someone

[quillquill]

The story telling got way better and the lore is really interesting...I just wish it had more challenging end-game content. Like more Spiral Abyss floors or some permanent coop Abyss mode. Exploring is fun and all but it's such a waste that you don't really have a reason to properly build the characters you pull because there is not enough end-game content.

[_EllaLost]

Another tip! If you want to replay dialogue that you have missed, go to the archives, (edit: this is in the paimon menu, the book looking icon) and all of the lines will be there if you missed anything in the story! it will also include voice lines that you would otherwise not hear if you choose another dialogue option. also if you look at the archives, there are tons of lore for you to read about literally everything you encountered and or collected

[deneb]

The first time unlocking everything feels like magical :) its like nothing else in games.

[ShadowOfNos]

Genshin is great. Especially the music, combat, character design and world are awesome. With Fontaine I got a lot more interested in the story (usually a story skipper). The game doesn't make you pay for something at all, the payers pay because they are so satisfied with the product. And if you wanna f2p, others have made it possible. It's a AAA anime game but for free

[Charb]

There's nothing quite like playing Genshin for the first time and discovering what this gem of a game has to offer. The production value is absolutely colossal, the attention to details, the voice acting and the musical scores, there is so much going on.

[benperry]

I've been playing almost every day since the start. Everything just keeps getting better. The story has gotten insanely good. The music is phenomenal, and even the community feels like it's constantly growing in a positive direction. Hoyoverse seems to be setting their sights at Disney level hights as an entertainment company.

[Jevgein]

The Epicness of the boss fights,
The darkness behind the beautiful scenery,
The depth of the world,
The Orchestra Music made it the only game I play regularly

[Atman]

Oh man it was so painful watching you using Neuvillette without using his charge attack so you can witness the hydro laser, but maybe you will if you continue playing <3 . Overall it was nice to see you getting excited whenever you explored a new zone or figuring out the combat system.

[rdp]

I play it to cooldown from the stress of the day, something about doing my dailies, and occasionally doing the main quests when they unlock. And the characters are unique and memorable!

[damieneifer]

This video is so warm and calm in the era of fast paced editing and loud screaming, it's amazing to just hang out with you, so cozy!

I wish for you to learn about deep lore connections and newer story quests, it's awesome. There's many interesting secret info right in the item descriptions, the open world, hidden areas and constant awe when you find something spectacular underground, or maybe visit Enkanomiya for first time or find piece of Khaenriah lore.

You can walk to Inazuma on water with Furina btw. And you can find kinda secret island near Mondstadt region, it doesn't exist on map.

[Keiki-kun]

In fact, you can review all the dialogues from the main quests in the file tab

You can't skip dialogues because the game doesn't have replays so if you're doing a quest it's the first and only time you're doing the quest on this account

the percentage of the map is a side activity and you can actually have items that help you search for chests and oculos in the areas but you have to level up the reputation of the areas to earn these items

[subhranild]

16:34 I got so emotional when you visited Liyue 😭 I still remember the first time I saw the city. Good memories…

[darekpower]

ah man, seems you finished just before the Liyue's finale! would have loved to see the reaction to it as its one of the first really cool moments, and the story really picks up from there steadily with dains quests, the chasm, and then later sumeru and fontaine. I really hope we get to see you go over that content sometime soon!
