Review: Genshin Impact
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every November. It’s a time when families gather, friends reconnect and communities unite. On Thanksgiving you also announce what you're thankful for in life, so several of our writers decided to let everyone know exactly which video games they're thankful for. These thanks are comprised of releases from Thanksgiving 2019 to Thanksgiving 2020 and made up of a variety of reasons. Read on to see the titles everyone decided were personally meaningful enough from the past year to make the list!
Though the complexity of physical combat isn't entirely deep, it's the tactical side of things where most of the focus is placed. The continuous push for elemental buffs and certain status ailments on your enemies, made possible when you combine two or more elements in a given situation. Come across foes that are comprised of ice? Best to rid their armor with a character specializing in fire abilities, but not before having that interact with wind and topping it off with a clash of an electric super move that causes you to chain together damage to nearby enemies. While you can mostly get by simply throwing everything but the kitchen sink at things, later on the game does require players to think more strategically about the kind of elemental properties they want to wield. More importantly, when it might be best to use specific abilities -- some running on a cool-down, others requiring a slightly lengthier charge up. But even at its most basic level, when taking out the elemental mechanics and the desire to multiply one's damage output, there's a simple pleasure in seeing your character hack-and-slash away. A more satisfying sight when such encounters have you surrounded on all fronts -- some enemies even trying to stay back so as to unleash their own area-of-effect or elemental-based ailments.
The pity system tracks Wishes on a per-Banner basis . This means that Genshin Impact players cannot make 89 Wishes on the Standard Banner, and then receive a guaranteed 5-star item from an Event Banner by putting their 90th Wish there. Or, they cannot put 70 wishes on the Weapon Banner and have that pity count apply to the simultaneously-running Character Banner. Pity is contained within each "category" of banner. Thus, fans' pity progress will carry over to new Event Banners when they launch, as well as apply to both of the currently-active Event Banners at the same time, but cannot be used between different banner ty
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 SLG game Patch Notes 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?"

Some Genshin Impact Domains and Spiral Abyss floors have the annoying effect of debuffing your characters. It means that all characters in your party will be hit by a wave that will have some negative effect on their stats. This was first introduced in the SLG game guide during the 1.2 Spiral Abyss. Some debuffs that we have seen so far are Engulfing Storm, Slowing Water, Smoldering Flames, Corrosion, and Condensed

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
