A Second Look at Genshin Impact

Genshin is way better than Warframe

Resin issue is a playstyle problem

Resin issue maybe a PC/Console vs. Mobile play style thing

I’ve been playing Genshin Impact for two months now. Back in late October, I wrote my first impressions of the game.

I still feel that Genshin Impact beats Warframe by a long shot.

If miHoYo can keep up with periodic updates, like map expansions, then this game should easily last up to five years. By then something new will have replaced Genshin Impact due to new technology.

The Resin Issue

Resin supply is still considered a big problem for some players. But to be honest, this has more to do with play style than anything else.

The reason is the resin regeneration is a time gated mechanic, unless you use Primogems to refill it.

Without resin you cannot play the various Abyssal Domains, Elite Bosses, or Weekly Bosses. Without these you must hunt down all the treasurer chests for certain leveling consumables like weapons and artifacts. And the weapon crafting materials are dropped from the Weekly Bosses after acquiring the first one from the merchants.
