Player Impressions

The introduction of underwater exploration received mixed sentiments. U/mlbki, who commented on the Day 1 experience, appreciated the aesthetics but criticized the underwater combat mechanism, terming it as ‘garbage‘. They also found puzzles related to the new Pneuma/Ousia mechanics dull and unnecessarily complicated. Despite this, they were all praises for the new mascot species and the character Furina.

With Appreciation Comes Criticism

Despite the concerns, the musical score did not fail to impress. U/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp expressed appreciation for the excellent output from the music team. And while some players were eager to start unlocking statues and mapping the new area, others were anxious to understand why characters like Furina were receiving hate. The passion of these players underscores the commitment and interest they hold towards Genshin Impact, allowing this virtual world to evoke real emotions.

The diverse sentiments on the update highlight both its strengths and areas where it can improve. User-generated feedback is a crucial part of game development, serving as a guide for future updates to improve user experience.
