I've Been Playing Genshin Impact Since Launch & Can No Longer Recommend It

I have been playing since the game’s release back in 2020 and, despite my deep love for it, the action RPG by HoYoverse is not one I can currently recommend friends to start playing at this point in time. The title was released nearly four years ago and, since then, has expanded drastically. Starting off with the regions of Mondstadt and Liyue, the RPG started growing with the introduction of the icy reaches of Dragonspire, followed by Inazuma, Sumeru, and now Fontaine – and, of course, other areas within pre-existing regions.

An example of this is the recently introduced Chenyu Vale, which accompanied the release of Xianyun in earlier this year. In addition to landmasses, the game also gets bigger with new characters, new opponents, new story quests, new challenges, and new items to farm. Now, nearly four years into the game with a new fiery region on the horizon, the idea of starting an adventure in HoYoverse’s hit RPG seems ever more ludicrous, as even seasoned veterans are getting bombarded by an overload of content – and the big problem is not the amount of content, per si.

Although HoYoverse has not revealed the release date for Natlan in Genshin Impact, it is possible to predict exactly when it will arrive.

The amount of content mustered up over four years of continuous updates is one of the negative aspects of the game for newcomers. Catching up on all of that while also maintaining one’s characters on par with the world level can be a difficult and stressful endeavor, especially because of the game’s problems with farming. The story of the game is well worth the investment, as its characters and world-building are superb, but getting through the content that unlocks each of these story quests in can be daunting.

Because of this, it is quite possible to feel demotivated when having to sidestep away from main story quests only to grind through activities that do not feel as good as the narrative arc of the moment. Surely, these activities help fill up the
