It often feels like mobile RPGs have to make sacrifices in order to live up to console standards, whether they decrease the graphical capacity or let the narrative slip by the wayside to focus on gameplay aspects. Well, mobile RPG Genshin Impact has greatly switched up those expectations. With its huge open world, gorgeous graphics, and hours of gameplay, Genshin Impact is still on everyone’s lips over a year after release.
Before Mihoyo released the game in September 2020, many wrote it off as a generic Breath of the Wild clone, with a member of the public even smashing their PS4 at an event to protest the release of the title, even though, at that time, people had seen very little of the game. I believe the controversy surrounding Genshin Impact really helped it gain traction initially, as everyone desperately wanted to see what the fuss was about, only to realise the game’s potential after heading off on their first quest.
Since Genshin’s worldwide release, it has become Google Play’s best game of 2020, gained enough followers to form the largest Discord server ever, and also won the best mobile game award at TGA 2021, among other things. Genshin Impact also continues to release frequent updates with new characters, quests, and light-hearted events, which further proves the game is here to stay.
