When you use his Elemental Skill, Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma , it generates transient blossoms. These transient blossoms deal AoE Geo damage based on his defense stat. Since he has a low cooldown on his Elemental Skill, this damage is persistent. So if you’re just getting started, just equip some defense artifacts till you can farm for the perfect

This mildly grating length doesn’t detract from the game’s story, however. The lore is interesting and character personalities shine through. So much so that, despite speedrunning most conversations (looking at you, Katheryne), many players are still deeply engrossed in Genshin’s wo

But perhaps the most crucial consolation in this part especially is indeed the breadth of content on offer in Genshin Impact. From environmental puzzles to work out, to small enemy camps to clear, to brief challenges that reward another chest to open, even just taking a glance at the map and spotting a more conspicuous landmark. To venture to said landmark and find a higher-level and [thankfully] more aggressive boss show up. Most of these content placements do feed back into the continual progression of XP and AR and currency (and of the game doing its subtle best to convince us to drop some money into the Gacha side of things). Like its inspirations, some of these are more blatant and unapologetic than others. But where Genshin’s true purposes may not always be purely innocent in nature, what stops the experience from turning in sour or predatory most of all, is the thoughtful craft at which the world is structured. How, like Breath of the Wild, there’s no right answer to exploring in of itself, but there’s an answer to such things like “how do I get that collectible when it’s all the way up there?”

Genshin Impact is no stranger to great world quests, but the Tsurumi Island quest may take the cake for being the strangest in the game. As you have likely already found out, you can’t just go to Tsurumi Island and start exploring . The entire island is covered in a thick fog and when you try to explore, you will constantly be teleported back to where you started. The only way to clear the fog is by doing a new world quest called A Particularly Particular Aut

A game I’m thankful for in 2020 is one that was met with universal critical acclaim and extremely-divided fan reactions: The Last of Us Part II. There are elements of this game that can be legitimately criticized, but personally the good outweighed the bad. But while I would argue this is overall a great game by most objective standards, I’m thankful for it because of more personal reasons. The original game was a topic of deep discussion with my other half so naturally we were anticipating this release. Playing through the game together was a good bonding activity and led to hours of discussion about the character choices and the storytelling approaches used in The Last of Us Part II.

Of the many screen captures and countless hours of recorded footage during one’s playtime in Genshin Impact, it’s been a difficult task finding the ideal visuals to best sum up the current racking up of 25-or-so hours. In a way that’s both accurately representative, but also that which offers an insight into some of the more emergent and thus personal highlights. If you’ve been keeping tabs on this latest free-to-play title by China-based miHoYo, you may well have come across (or perhaps knowingly used) some of its more dismissive or undermining labels. A Breath of the Wild clone has been the more “popular” descriptor being thrown about, but even the premise of a game whose model falls more in line with the current Gacha format may already be enough to turn anyone away.

With limited resources, you should prioritize Albedo’s Elemental Skill (Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma) and level it up first. It has the lowest cooldown of four seconds and does consistent Geo damage. It is also considered a Geo construct and resonates with other Geo constructs like Zhongli’s Pillar and Ningguang’s shi

But as alluded to near the beginning of this review, Genshin Impact does falter at the point where it seems the game is destined for undeniably phenomenal heights. Not entirely a deal-breaker or dual-wielding swords one that takes the player completely out of the accomplished immersion of its world or even its combat. But when totted up, does signal a game that could’ve used a bit more checking-over. When it comes to tackling some of the more technical components, Genshin Impact drops the ball one too many times. Even if you were to disregard the nature of the narrative or the way in which a group of characters can, at their worst, talk extensively (and absently off-screen worst of all), there’s a notable disconnect when the game, for example, continues to refer to your male sibling character as “she” or “her.” It isn’t the only basic error that crops up with many an instance of dialogue cutting off mid-conversation, not matching up with what’s written on-screen and at one point, a mere line of dialogue getting stuck on-screen for the rest of one’s play session.
