Is it worth going back to playing?

Genshin Impact was the first gacha game I played back in 2022, but after about 30 hours I ended up dropping the game. I don't know exactly what made me quit, but suddenly I had a sudden urge to go back to playing.

Currently I'm a veteran Zenless player, and I'd like to know the current state of Genshin compared to this Hoyo title, if anyone plays both.

Also, my account isn't very developed and only has 2 characters that I like. So would it be good to go back to playing on it or create a new one?

I play ZZZ as well and I personally don't think these two games are very comparable. GI's open world is now pretty massive while ZZZ doesn't even have one. If you don't care for exploring much, then GI might not be it. The combat in both games is also very different. GI combat is very easy in comparison to ZZZ - by that I mean that you can get away with getting most primos from endgame as long as you invest in the units you really like.

Aside from the Spiral Abyss, there are two other endgame modes now - Imaginarium Theatre and Stygian Onslaught. IT requires you to have many units built, if you want to do the highest difficulty, but you get A LOT of buffs in this mode, which often carry the fight. SO has six difficulties. D6 really only for whales and sweaty gamers, D5 for well-invested whales, everything under that is easy enough for casual players (and I'm saying that as a casual). Only D1-3 is giving primos!

If there is any specific question, you would like to have answered, just ask! \^.\^

No skip button, the character story quests are implemented in the main quest, which makes it longer. Exploration takes time.

This patch we are getting 20 pulls for new year, so it's a good time to come back.

"...the character story quests are implemented in the main quest,..."

That has only started in Nod-Krai. Before that, every 5\* companion got a seperate SQ.

Probably not the same thing but don’t you need to do Raiden’s SQ before the second half Inazuma AQ?

IIRC Raidens SQ came after the inazuma AQ

I play both Genshin and Zenless since day 1, generally I found Genshin to be more fun at everything, from the team building, elemental reaction, even the end games. Genshin also comes with open world exploration, puzzles and imo much more engaging story and lore. Zenless won in quirkiness and flashy animation.

If you think of going back, just continue from existing account, there is almost no point on starting fresh. Returning account also got return rewards bonus.

If you are coming back, now is the best time.

CNY Free shit incoming.

It's fundamentally the same game as it was before.

Whatever you quit over in 2022 is still there.

Honestly, no. Unless you're really interested in it. There are better games to start in 2026.
