Genshin Impact Players Receive Free Gift For Character Zhongli S Birthday

Genshin Impact players have been spending the latter parts of this month exploring the recently arrived Dragonspine region. The Cryo-themed mountain was officially introduced as part of the game’s highly-anticipated Version 1.2 update, and although it also helped debut several new mechanics, some of the game’s subtler existing features, like character birthdays, are not to be forgotten. While the game has only been fully available for several months, Genshin Impact has already hosted a series of in-game (and web-based) events for players to enjoy, some of which are actually naturally tied to the game’s calendar....

I love Genshin Impact. I thought I’d get that disclaimer out of the way before I start tearing Mihoyo’s free-to-play RPG a new one. That sounds like I’m going to be a little harsh, but I do have some severe misgivings with how the game handles progression, despite my love for it. Genshin Impact is a gacha game, and like many gacha titles, moving forward in a way that feels genuinely satisfactory is often ordained by luck, and whether or not you’re fortunate enough to pull the characters and weapons you want in order to push on....

Germany Bans Phrases Like Coming Soon From Pre Order Marketing

Using vague terms such as “coming soon” has recently been outlawed in Germany. Pre-sellers must now give a specific date. The term pre-sale is a common one in the gaming world. We are almost always aware that a new game is coming long before we know exactly when we are going to get our hands on it. That doesn’t stop excited gamers from pre-ordering titles though, even when there is no release date specified and sometimes before the game has even been completed....

Ghostrunner Review

Mainstream gaming might be continuously pushing for expansive open-world experiences, but indie developers have shied away from such templates. Nothing paints that picture better than the first-person shooter genre. Call of Duty is still linear and multiplayer-focused, but Ubisoft’s Far Cry continuously grows and grows, leaving behind the original idea that Crytek started in 2004. In the indie sphere, titles like DUSK, Ion Fury, and Amid Evil have gone in a more old-school direction....
