Storyline
Genshin Impact takes place in the world of Teyvat, which is home to seven distinct nations, each of which is tied to an element and ruled by a god associated with it. The story follows a twin, referred to as the Traveler, who travelled across many worlds but becomes separated from their other twin by an unknown god in Teyvat. They travel across Teyvat with their newfound companion, Paimon, in search of their lost sibling and become involved in the affairs of the world and its nations. The game received a generally positive reception, with critics praising the combat and open-world freedom, while some criticism was raised at its endgame.
