Review: Genshin Impact
For starters, they immediately get 300 Genesis Crystals and get 90 Primogems whenever they log in for the first time across the next 30 days. Players who plan on investing their time playing Genshin Impact - which means doing the Daily Commissions that earn them 60 Primogems - should get them as many as 150 Primogems everyday or 4,500 Primogems in a month. Players gunning for a character or want to invest in an upcoming character should start earning their Primogems with a Welkin on hand. That way, they maximize their time spent grinding for Pri
When it comes to pure video game fun, it doesn’t get much better than Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. While stating that a sports game, as extreme as it may be, is one of the best examples of the entertainment value of the medium may be confusing to some, anybody who has played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater knows exactly why this is true. Striking the perfect balance between challenge and fun, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was one of the first and best examples of a 3D game capturing the basic appeal of 2D games upon its release in 1999. It was a game that you could turn your brain off to play to melt away the hours, but the constant challenge of trying to perfect tricks or top that perfect run gave it enough pull and pattern repetition to keep you engaged, much as some of the best arcade games did in the ’80s. While its sequel reached the same heights, there was a notable downgrade as the series went on, culminating in some iterations that seemingly put the final nail in the coffin for the series. When Activision announced that Vicarious Visions would be bringing the series back by ways of remaking its first two entries, it was as cause for as much celebration as it was anxiety. Thankfully, though, they managed to strike the perfect balance of honoring the basic vibe of the original games while updating them just enough to fit in with modern sensibilities. Playing and looking basically as your rose-tinted mind remembers it did in 1999, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a perfect example of how to revive a classic and will allow a new generation of gamers to experience the pure joy the games brought so many years ago. In a medium with ever-increasing complexity, a masterfully-executed revival is something we can all be thankful for.
While not the most glaring criticism to address, or one that offers any sort of long-term problem, it's still admittedly a pain to find that the PC version of the game is lacking in the ability to custom map buttons to a player's controller of choice. Made even more annoying when you factor in Genshin Impact instead has a peculiar interpretation of button layout via a strange decision to swap the generally agreed-upon use of A and B being that of confirm and cancel respectively. What's worse is that for those playing with a controller, the SLG game patch Notes in its current state requires you to manually change input settings each and every time you boot it up.
One of Genshin Impact' s biggest draws is its huge roster of interesting characters and well-designed weaponry, but not all of them are easy to acquire. With the existing gacha system, players have access to several different banners with different characters and weapons. Figuring out which one to pull on, and how to calculate one's chances of a desirable result, can be confus
It’s much better to not build the Hydro Traveler at all as HoYo is definitely trolling with their kit. However, if you’re crazy enough to invest in them, then give the Hydro Traveler 2pc of one of these three artifact sets: Nymph's Dream , Heart of Depth , or Golden Troupe . They barely operate with any artifact set, so just go for 2pc to give them 30% Hydro
Being a gacha title, it’s important for Genshin Impact players to remember that there’s a lot to consider when pulling for a character across the game’s different banners. Players should approach Wishes with these in m
Instead, players should focus on "general" guidelines for boosting CRIT and overall ATK. On top of trying to gun for weapons that boost CRIT, players should find a Circlet Artifact that as a CRIT stat and find Artifacts with the opposing CRIT sub-stat as a supplement (so CRIT Rate Circlet and CRIT DMG Artifacts and vice versa). Characters such as Rosaria and Hu Tao can also boots the Crit Rate of party members with their Tale
Prioritize Event Wishes: When redeeming rewards from Paimon’s Bargains, always prioritize the Event Wish to secure Wish slots for a particular banner. Never trade Stardust for the Standard Banner, especially when you can redeem more Intertwined Fates next month if you have spare Stardust on
But rarely does the monetization side of Genshin Impact get in the way of what feels first and foremost like an open-world adventure brimming with diverse and intriguing content to invest in. Content that isn't just another fetch quest or another handful of items to gather, but a puzzle to work out, a chest to reach, or in the briefest of spots, a curious little spot of world-building to unravel. Grind is an eventuality once you start to near the high-teens and low twenties of your Adventure Rank. Adventure Rank being your character's defining "level" of sorts whose meter can be fed through completing quests and achieving certain milestones. That reliance on levels does unfortunately rub the wrong way at points, especially when it becomes a barrier to later quests, story-based or otherwise. And while setting a minimum level cap on quests can be read as gentle persuasion to explore more of the environment, the abrupt nature doesn't always feel entirely warranted. Particularly when the main story takes a dramatic turn and you find you can't continue on that thread because your Adventure Rank (or AR for short) is one or two levels too low. So it's to the daily Commission Quests or some other similarly short-term activity on the side, for the time being.
