An escape to a fantasy world - Genshin Impact.

By Manas Ravulapalli

As the winter break approaches next month, anticipating boredom halfway through, I present an engaging solution: Genshin Impact! Fear not, for this game provides an immersive escape. What's even better? It comes at no cost! And you don't need a powerful laptop!

Imagine a world where you possess unique abilities and confront adversaries like that of 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.' The environment is immersive, drawing similarities to that of 'Sword Art Online,' and the characters have genuine personalities. Additionally, the realm features a diverse array of cuisines and an intense food battle inspired by 'Food Wars,' showcasing various cultures and traditions. Well that's just the general description of genshin Impact.

Let me give you a bit more information before you go on your own special journey! Genshin Impact happens in a world called Teyvat where there exist seven elements. The story starts off with the player choosing one of two twins who are hopping from world to world looking for a world to settle down on. You suddenly get stopped by an unknown entity who stops you and seals your other twin while you get knocked unconscious. Then the rest of the story involves you traversing the seven nations of Teyvat looking for your brother and through your journey meet a variety of new companions and your own mascot!

Genshin Impact's charm lies in the immersive setting of events, creating a sense of embarking on a journey and forming connections with characters who exhibit lifelike personalities. Each Nation you explore is so well crafted with references from real life places (each nation has a real life country/ continent reference) that it honestly feels like traveling a mini-version of earth. It also includes references in the form of food, performing arts, building structure, societal influence, etc. The game also exhibits a level of self-awareness, allowing players time to process events, mirroring the pace of real-world interactions and helping you realize the importance of events.

Another noteworthy thing is Genshin Impact's masterful blend of music and 3D design that seamlessly captures the essence of every moment. The music, with its dynamic variation as you roam through diverse landscapes, and the meticulous attention to cultural details of each nation, are so beautiful that they leave you with a satisfying experience in whole.

Here are some suggestions for previews of genshins music (they make good study sessions and chilling music too!). Here are the Albums!

The Forest of Jnana and Vidya Disc 1 and 2(Indian and Arabic inspired).

The lost Sigils of Enkanomiya(sad vibes)

The City of winds and Idylls(home vibes)

The unfathomable Sand dunes(mix of relaxing and anxiety inducing music) and finally.

Jade upon a Sea of clouds(east asian style).

Genshin Impact’s storytelling excels with a beautifully woven narrative continuity, highlighted by frequent events introduced every 10 weeks during updates. These events fill character lore gaps, ensuring a continuity in the general storyline. The game further enhances story experience through its "hangouts" series, allowing players to delve deeper into characters' stories with a one on one dynamic thus, deepening the relationship.

Now, now, before I let you off to explore the wonderful world of Teyvat I want to give some more tips to help you better navigate your first experience.

Better if you have a mouse since running around is more seamless.

Cooking provides essential healing and buffing items. Gather ingredients as you explore and experiment with recipes to create dishes that suit your playstyle.

Daily Commissions offer valuable rewards and are a reliable source of experience points and Primogems. Make it a habit to complete them daily.

Although the game has an in -game wishing system( gacha/ pay to get characters) It can be enjoyed just the same if you don't spend money.

Genshin Impact is more fun with friends so bring as many people you like!

Always be on the lookout for codes which will get you more in-game currency and help you get more characters.
