Genshin Impact is an open-world RPG where players get to play as the Traveler, taking the form of either Aether and Lumine, in the massive world known as Teyvat. It’s a free-to-play single-player title with optional co-op, and players are treated to a journey like no other.Featuring stories from across various regions, it follows a gripping, anime-like tale of the Traveler trying to reunite with their sibling while performing quests for the locals. You can collect treasures, use many weapons, and create a team of characters wielding different weapon types and varying elemental affinities to challenge and defeat bosses. There are seven elements in total, and it’s a must to build a formidable roster to have an easier time with the Abyss Order, Fatui, and bosses like Dyvalin and Azhdaha.
Genshin Impact has a large selection of events and story quests for players, yielding a plethora of in-game rewards. Activities range from designing your home domain, gliding challenges, exciting co-op battles, and time-attack challenges. As of today, it’s still a game in progress, and there are more planned events and content in the future.
If you’re looking for a top-notch action RPG with an astonishingly beautiful world and a cast of outstanding characters, Genshin Impact is your best bet.
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
