(Right now, only two regions are unlocked out of the seven that will eventually be available.) Like BOTW, Genshin Impact has a beautiful, big open world you can glide, climb, and fight through, and it's only going to keep getting bigger with future updates. 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. If a three-year-old, low-performance Galaxy model can run it without kicking up too much of a fuss, most modern smartphones should be more than able for it - something that is also evidenced by the fact Genshin Impact sold over 17 million copies on mobile in just four days.Genshin Impact has a huge world to explore, and a surprising amount of content for a free-to-play game.


As mentioned above, the game is also available on PS4 and mobile, and, honestly, it runs fairly well on my standard Samsung Galaxy S8 Mini. That being said, it's not necessary to play Genshin Impact on PC at all, so even if you don't meet the requirements you can still tune in via other platforms. It's not exactly an Alienware setup, meaning you should be able to run Genshin Impact at the recommended settings just fine if you play on PC even semi-regularly. Again, a lot of laptops and PCs purchased in the last few years will innately meet these requirements without the need for any external accessories or internal tinkering.
