I have played Genshin impact for a little over 3 years. I’ve loved the game and the other games that Hoyoverse has produced. One big problem about playing mobile is the storage space on your phone/ipad. I found about this version of the game about 6 months ago. They give you 5 hours/300 minutes when you first login. 15 minutes per day is not enough. I barely finish my dailies with this time and have a few minutes left for farming. Having to pay for more time is very hard especially for free to play players like myself. I have been saving at least 300 minutes for the last few weeks and it’s just been a routine where I only open the game just for the 15 minutes. It’s a struggle but I’m still glad I get to play with no worry about storage. I lag a few times but with that it’s all good with the graphics and everything. I say to buy the $15 worth of coins/time and continue to farm minutes. Unless you’re willing to spend even more money for this game I would recommend but for others who can’t I would say to continue to farm for as much time as you can.

Like the title states, it’s great for when you don’t have enough or don’t want to use up the storage the original game would. Although, the annoying part about this app is that it has a time limit for how much you can play. Normally, I wouldn’t be too upset with this despite the fact that it gives 15 minutes per day, which is a decent amount of time to do dailies. However, the worst part is that my saved up time, at the highest limit (600), was suddenly erased after I updated the app for the new update. This is unfortunate as I had this saved over days worth of log ins, meaning I’d have to redo everything over again. Anyway, this app is great for simple gameplay and most certainly shouldn’t be used to do the story, so if anything, it should be used as a replacement for when you can’t use your PC or other main device. Additionally, it is quite weird that you have to pay to play more than the 600 minutes the app gives you.TLDR: I only use this app when I don’t use my PC and am very annoyed that I lost all of the minutes I had saved up.

I love this game. Started playing on my PS4 and then my PS4 started to not be able to handle the graphics without crashing. Downloading to my phone is not ideal because it takes up so much storage that I would rather keep free for other stuff. As a long time player I do not mind paying a little bit to have this kind of service. For the others who are complaining about the small 15 minutes of daily free play... You are all missing the fact that in order for a cloud server to run it costs alot of money. We are essentially trading using our local storage and local device energy consumption for a service that is carrying the weight of that load remotely, so the only way Hoyo would be able to offer a cloud service is if its being paid for by the users. If enough people arent paying for it then we can say bye bye to the cloud service because it has to be sustained somehow. Its so interesting how such a great app is being dragged in the reviews due to ignorance. Keep up the great work!! Love this so much!

When I got the original version of this game i really enjoyed it. So I wanted to get another game by the creator, aka hoyoverse. I attempted to get Honkai star rail, but i forgot that my storage space was VERY low, so it didn’t go as planned. So I decided to replace it with Honkai. But I thought it felt kind of boring at first( no offense Honkai fans), so I replaced it with this game. And I realized that it didn’t just take less storage space, but also, It solves ALL of my problems with the original Genshin Impact. The graphics are much more cleaner, and I thought that the cloud version would mean there would be like a special update or something, but this is actually much better than a special update. And I also realized that every game can be boring at first, but once you get a little more further, it gets more interesting and fun. So I got both of them and I like both of them! Tysm hoyoverse 4 making this btw!
