    I’ve attempted to play genshin a few times and it seems both predatory and mind-numbingly boring. What’s the appeal?

      BotW exploration with a really wild combat system. Also has incredible music and interesting worldbuilding. Also has a heap of time wasting bullshit and gotcha.

      On PC, at least, the controls are very smooth, and the challenge bar is pretty low, so you can fairly relaxingly explore a pretty vast world.

      Yes, you can end up insane and bankrupt chasing your favourite husbando, but even that has ceilings, which are pretty well-documented by gacha norms.

      I played it back when it launched and the first bit doesn’t/didn’t give you the inkling of what’s to come.
      It eases you in so by the time the game shows its true ugly self, you’re already too deep.
      But yeah, I too became bored fast. It’s just mleh.
