More than more of the same
Natlan already feels like the best region in Genshin Impact.
The big win for me is in the world design.
Most importantly, it’s the most organic region in the game.
This trains you to be curious and observant, and the game rewards you for following your gut.
Genshin Impact, on the other hand, will often just show you the fire.
Put on your thinking cap, player, and see if you might’t puzzle this one out.
I’m being a little mean here, but only a little.
Not all of Genshin’s puzzles and encounters are this obvious, but a lot of them are.
Andthistrains you to let the game do most of the thinking for you.
The resulting journey feels less like an adventure and more like a Disneyland attraction.
But frequently predictable and unsurprising.
How do you connect these gizmos?
Where will you find the missing piece to this puzzle?
What is this graffiti trying to tell you about your surroundings?
Likewise, the Saurian abilities unlock new possibilities and even enable some sequence-breaking.
Finding and mastering all of these bosses is one of the most rewarding and motivating challenges in Genshin.
Combat, like exploration, is more satisfying with a little more bite.
And experientially, Natlan is just a more thoughtful and engaging open-world game.
There is more to find and it isharderto find because exploration requires more input from you.
