After months of Early Access tests, developer miHoYo’s Genshin Impact has finally gone live across PS4, PC, and Mobile. Fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will immediately notice plenty of similarities, from its cel-shaded graphical art style to gameplay features like climbing, cooking, and a focus on exploration.

But with its cutesy anime story-telling, action-RPG systems, and gacha mechanics, Genshin Impact certainly has plenty of its own thing going on, too. Overall, it’s a thoroughly impressive and surprisingly high-quality package considering its free-to-play nature and the relative inexperience of the development team in building a game of this scale.
Indeed, the depth of Genshin Impact’s gameplay, the intrigue of its story, and overall entertainment value put it shoulder-to-shoulder with many popular premium games.
Clearly, we’re pretty high on Genshin Impact from what we’ve played so far, which is why we’re putting together a comprehensive guide wiki to help our fellow adventurers as they make their way across the vast lands of Teyvat.
