Gameplay
Genshin Impact is an open-world video game that allows players to control one of four characters in a party. Players can quickly switch between the four characters during combat. Characters can have their abilities enhanced in various ways, mainly through gaining experience points and improving their artifacts and weapons. In Genshin Impact, players can explore the open-world map freely. In addition to exploration, players can attempt various challenges for rewards. Bosses and challenges that reward highly valuable resources are scattered across Teyvat, but claiming them consumes a currency called Original Resin, which slowly regenerates over time up to a limit. Completing these challenges grants players progress towards increasing their Adventure Rank, which unlocks new quests and challenges. The World Level increases at Adventure Ranks 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 58, which raises the strength of the world's enemies and the rarity of rewards given by defeating them. Players can perform actions such as running, climbing, swimming, and gliding. Some characters possess abilities that can alter the environment, such as freezing water to create an ice path that helps traverse terrain. Many teleportation points exist to which players can warp in a form of fast travel; among these are landmarks known as Statues of The Seven that can heal and revive characters and provide benefits such as increased player stamina. Items such as food and other materials can be procured from the open world. Furthermore, special battle instances called Domains reward materials that increase character and weapon strength. Meals cooked from ingredients gathered from collectable or purchasable materials can provide desirable effects, such as increased damage, health regeneration, and increased defense. Players can also procure ores that can be refined and then used to create weapons. A multiplayer mode is available in the form of co-op, where up to four players can play together; players' party size shrinks according to the number of players in a session. Player matching can be done by requesting to connect with another player or through matchmaking. The game features cross-platform…
