Explained simply
Genshin Impact is a free-to-play role-playing game from HoYoverse, set in the fantasy world of Teyvat. Players explore its regions, follow a continuing story and collect characters, who use different elements such as Cryo (ice) and Electro (electricity).
The game’s numbered versions bring new story chapters, areas and characters. Snezhnaya is one of Teyvat’s major regions, and the Tsaritsa is its ruler; reaching it marks a new stage in the game’s story. Primogems are an in-game resource used to obtain characters and equipment.
