The Land of Teyvant? What is this you ask? Oh! It's the setting of the game we’ll be talking about called Genshin Impact! Genshin Impact was released on September 28th by miHoYo. This game has many stories, as well as adventures, bosses, and characters!


What's this game about exactly?

In Genshin Impact you start off by the storyline of you and your sibling, who are world travelers, and an evil force takes your sibling. You then tell this to a girl named Paimon as she was the first person you met after your sibling was taken. You then have the goal of discovering all 7 statues, both Geo and Anemo, that Paimon tells you about, along with finding your sibling.

After you get done with the tutorial and what Paimon thinks about your situation, you then move on to meeting other characters, seeing other towns, seeing ruins, getting to know the world's backstory that your traveler is stuck in, and beating bosses to level up.

Genshin Impact is all about adventure, choosing how you want to take action in certain situations, and choosing what elemental magic and characters you'd like to use to defeat any boss or monster. You can get certain characters by completing their story or by making “Wishes” which you can do as long as you have Primogems. Primogems, or Moras are a comment currency and a way of money in this game.

How are the graphics in this game?

Genshin Impact opens with an elegantly animated cutscene in which a god captures your twin. In the ensuing battle, which takes place midair, floating near some Grecian sky columns, the god takes away your power to travel from world to world. The action picks up some time afterward, on a serene beach.


You are on Teyvat, a beautiful realm where some mortals have elemental magic abilities. There are also little parts where it is animating a story from the certain town you are in, this only happens on main/lore quests when a character is telling you about it though.

This character is named Kaeya. He is a Calvalry Captain in the Knights of Favonious. Kaeya is great for traveling across water and attacking and freezing enemies.

This lovely lady is called Diona, and she' is a worker at Cat's Tail Tavern. She is great at shooting enemies with her ice element from afar and can create a shield around herself.

What Are the Pros/Cons of this game?

The good thing about this game is that you get to make your own choices, play with friends, amazing animations, amazing graphics, and even amazing characters with backstories that relate to different characters sometimes.


Although this game has many exciting things you need to be a certain level for quests and it takes very much grinding to get to that level that is needed. Along with having patience, as there are still some bugs in the game so if you do play this game do know patience is definitely important.

Any Tips or Things to Help Us Out?

One tip for this game is again having patience, but when needing especially fighting bosses and finding chests are definitely the way to go. If you find a bug or have an issue with the game, you should definitely go to their help center and find out what's wrong or even report it to them!


One huge tip is when fighting bosses definitely make a bunch of “Mushroom Skewers” as they help heal your character and don't make the character as full as easily.


Keep an eye out for your stamina, and just have fun!
