Takeaways
Genshin Impact has received mixed reviews and has not lived up to the hype.
The game faces competition from other anime RPG gacha games in the market.
The gameplay mechanics, including excessive non-combat activities, have been criticized.
The combat in the game is visually impressive but lacks satisfaction.
Despite its flaws, Genshin Impact has impressive visuals and production quality. Zenonzard is a visually impressive mobile game with an anime-inspired art style and an urban fantasy setting.
The game's pacing and lack of action can be disappointing for some players.
The gacha system in Zenonzard is similar to miHoYo's other games, Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd.
While Zenonzard may not have met miHoYo's revenue expectations, it still generates a significant amount of money.
miHoYo may need to consider changing their game mechanics and meta to attract and retain players.
