Character Overview: Venti
Now, given the Ganyu overview I did, you might think that Venti would be a character that wouldn’t get touched on here. Well, if it weren’t for Venti’s elemental skill and the raw combo potential, quite frankly, I really wouldn’t. But, that aside, there’s some observations about Venti’s ult which can be made to improve […]
Character Overview: Anemo Traveler
Might as well start these overviews off with a character everyone has, the Traveler! They’re the first five star character you’ll get in Genshin Impact. Now, it’s somewhat important: the male Traveler and the female Traveler have two subtly different movesets and we’re going to look at the female Traveler, Lumine, as representing the Anemo […]
Genshin Impact Review (Pt. 5)
So, now we get to the real, important question: do I recommend you try out Genshin Impact, and furthermore, do I recommend you spend money on it? Well, quite frankly, there are worse action games. There are worse exploration games. There’s whatever the hell Cube World became, and in light of things like that… I’ll […]
Genshin Impact Review (Pt. 4)
It’s at this point I stare at the length the three posts already written, look at this one, sigh, and recognize I still have one more to go afterward. Well, time to get the fun part: combat. Hell, I won’t lie, this is probably what anyone who wants my opinion is wanting to read anyway. […]
Genshin Impact Review (Pt. 3)
See, if you thought I was going to talk about the fun part next, that’s because I thought I was going to write about the fun part next. Then something got in the way: a slot machine. Now, here’s the deal, straight up, 100%, gacha is shit, but I’ve played a wide number of free […]
Genshin Impact Review (Pt. 2)
Now, there’s one comment which I’ve seen that holds a pretty strong argument against the main draw of Genshin Impact, which is essentially, exploration is a one-time joy. That’s partially true. You can’t really regain the joy discovery combing over places you’ve been before, but that being said, learning Genshin Impact’s world has its use. […]
Genshin Impact Review (Pt. 1)
Genshin Impact is one of those games which I wish I could recommend, but I can’t do so earnestly. It’s decent. It’s a little more than decent, in fact. It’s actually probably even good. But it’s got a lot of bad, pushing straight into awful, with a good helping of predatory monetization. Before I really […]
Stylish Genshin: Switch Canceling.
So if you’ve explored the earlier cancel in Genshin Impact, you’re probably familiar with the fact there’s actually a few things you can do with it. For the most part, it really makes it easy to follow up on different combos and keep damaging a specific enemy, besides looking cool, that is. But, that costs […]
Stylish Genshin: Evade Canceling.
With Genshin Impact out, I’ve been enjoying it pretty thoroughly. More so than I have Breath of the Wild, largely for Genshin’s more in-depth combat. And while there’s a lot to say about the way the different elements react, I wanted to take some time and illustrate some basic tech which can help make combat […]
