Genshin Impact

The open world that made the whole genre chase it.

About

HoYoverse's open-world action RPG, set in the seven nations of Teyvat. Combat runs on elemental reactions — freeze a target with Cryo, then shatter it, or soak it and call down Electro — and you swap between a party of four mid-combo to chain them. Climb, glide and swim anywhere you can see, with a new nation and its element added roughly every year since launch. Free to play on Windows PC.

Our verdict

9.1/10
Still the open world the rest of the genre is answering.

Five years of Teyvat and the elemental reaction system has never been meaningfully bettered — a party of four you swap mid-combo turns a lookup table into real execution. The Resin economy rations your gear rather than your fun, and the whole world costs nothing.
