So because it's free (until you really want a rare character and feel compelled to spend big money on loot crates without a guarantee of getting anything good) and everybody is playing it - I gave it a shot, and found out it's actually more fun than BOTW in a lot of ways. It's available on mobile, PC, the PS4, and has cross-play compatibility between systems. Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world adventure RPG made by miHoYo. I kept hearing it described as a clone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and I didn't really feel like playing a crummier version of a game I've already played. I didn't have an interest in playing Genshin Impact at first. Genshin Impact has a huge world to explore, and a surprising amount of content for a free-to-play game.
