Released on the PlayStation 4, PC, iOS and Mac gaming platforms last month, Genshin Impact from the Chinese development team at miHoYo boasts a picturesque world and well-designed characters. Compared to most other “Gacha Games”, it is shaping up to be in a league of its own.

In particular, ones which require no “surprise mechanics”, “chance-based downloadable content”, or other industry terms for gacha in them.
