A large portion of the Genshin Impact playerbase has not been happy with the current state of the game for some time now.
Though version 2.1 started off on the right foot, with miHoYo generating one of the highest revenues out of the Raiden Shogun banner, what followed was less than optimal.
Genshin Impact fans were not happy with the year-one rewards, and the 5-star character Kokomi turned out to be one of the least popular in the title’s history.

To add to that, content creators like Enviosity are finding it harder and harder to grind further in the game. As for the older players, Genshin Impact is running out of endgame content.
Enviosity states in a recent tweet,
“I'm at a point where I'm very unmotivated to upload videos to YouTube (besides to my clips channel). Genshin Impact in its current state makes it worse because it feels like there's nothing to do besides login, burn resin, do commissions and log out. I feel 2.2 will be the same.”
The current state of Genshin Impact
The lack of player enthusiasm with the current state of Genshin Impact, and what the game is looking to introduce in future updates, is not just a result of dwindling late-game content.
While older players and content creators like Enviosity feel that the game has nothing more to offer, some of the newer ones feel that the title’s present state is just too overwhelming for them to catch up to.
Progression is indeed quite complicated for newer players, especially those who are casuals and not looking for a grind-heavy experience in Genshin Impact. Free-to-play players have quite a tough time progressing in the later stages of the game, and they often have to rely on others with higher level characters to help them out.
All in all, consensus regarding Genshin Impact’s current state of play is not favorable. Both older and newer players are finding it increasingly difficult to be more excited about where the game is today and the upcoming 2.2 update.
