Zelda-Inspired Open World Action Game ‘Genshin Impact’ Announced

Shanghai-based developer miHoYo announces its open world action game set in a fantasy setting, Genshin Impact, which was clearly influenced by Breath of the Wild.

Graphics are nice, like a next gen breath of the wild, but it's from a company that makes mobile games so that means it's gonna suck.

Well in all fairness Oceanhorn is a great Zelda phone-clone that translated to console and is getting a sequel.

[MadLad]

Reviewed the PC version of Ocean Horn way back when.

Great game.

[mogwaii]

This company makes games that have paywalls, microtransactions ect ect, did you even read the article?

[FullmetalRoyale]

Fun game, that. It was a very relaxing, enjoyable platinum.

[BLizardXD]

looking pretty good. reminded me of eternal sonata for some reason.

[jonivtec]

Yeah...right on!!

"next breath of the wild"

LOL BoTW doesn't even look like this gen games on PS4 and Xbone. Ni no Kuni last gen looks comparable or better than BoTW already and Ni no Kuni 2 shits all over it in graphics.

[Smokehouse]

Not my type of game but goddamn it looks nice. The “3D that looks 2D” art style has come a long way. I’m impressed.

PC & iso!
What about consoles?
:/

[phoenixwing]

I feel ya i dont have a very good gaming pc. Hopefully this makes its way there.

[Vits]

Chinese developer, consoles are not a important market for them. But depending on the reception they might port it over.

[Thundercat77]

I want a mature, non cartoonist Zelda inspired game.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Horizon Zero Dawn

[Razzer]

I don't get the comparison at all.

[quent]

play dark souls

[Double_O_Revan]

That look really cool. Anime Breath of the Wild sounds good.

[TheGamez100]

I like their honkai impact games, looking forward to this one. Very good anime waifu designs. These guys need to make a console game.

[fathertime4464]

Have to say, now that's a pretty game

[CP_Company]

so basically we don't need to play, it is 10/10. it could be luckluster, but this is how zelda rolls. 10/10

[King_Noctis]

Where did you come up with that conclusion?

[averagejoe26]

Looks awesome. Way more variation in towns, characters, enemies, locations, etc than BotW too. Looks way more exciting.

[Relientk77]

Wow I absolutely love this! It's like a mix of a JRPG and Breath of the Wild

[Question_Mark]

If there are no paywalls or microtransactions, then I think this has great potential.
