Cowctus's review of Genshin Impact

The exploration is this game's greatest strength and for a long time it captured me. I even enjoyed the gameplay a lot. That is until you encounter shielded enemies.
Now, it has an element system and I would expect it to force me to change between elements, yes, but the problem is that shielded enemies remove any impact the combat had, making it feel really, REALLY weak. And its endgame content is the worst I've seen in any live service game.
It's a shame, cuz I liked what this game showed me at first. If only it kept that momentum going.

Not to discredit your feelings towards the game, but that's such a funny complaint. Genshin's core combat focus is the different elements and how they react together (the game even marketed itself with that during the early days). There are also multiple ways of taking out shields, too, each one isn't weak to just one element (and even if you're using an element that isn't great against said shield (like electro against hydro), its still going to do decent damage to it.
