The Natlan Updates
The 5.2-5.4 updates introduced Natlan , the so long-awaited Pyro region . For many years , Genshin Impact fans had built up expectations based on Teyvat ’ s lore . Natlan was supposed to be an always-fighting nation ruled by an insanely powerful Pyro Archon — a god of war . But when the updates finally arrived , everyone went like … “ what is this ?” Instead of a dangerous battlefield , Natlan looked like a cartoon . Bright colors , peaceful towns , and cute Pokémon-like creatures everywhere . The Pyro Archon ? Turns out she ’ s just a human . Not a god . It felt like the developers completely ignored what made Natlan sound so epic in the first place …
The gameplay in Natlan didn ’ t make it better , either . It was the same old stuff as in Sumeru and Inazuma . The side quests that were annoying , easily forgettable , and exploration lacked excitement .

The Worst Game Ever
Many people are leaving the game , accusing Mihoyo of caring more about profits than quality . And honestly ? They ’ re not wrong . The monthly player count dropped from 64 million to 55 million , and it ’ s easy to see why . Even the game ’ s Google Play rating got down to 3.8 . Although maybe calling it the worst game ever is a bit dramatic , but for a lot of players , Genshin Impact has become one of the most disappointing games out there . It used to be a masterpiece , but now it feels like the developers just don ’ t care about it anymore , now that they have their Honkai Star Rail and Tower of Fantasy . Natlan was supposed to increase the excitement , but instead , it pushed people further away . For me , Genshin Impact will always have a special place in my heart , as it connects me with my childhood memories of my brother . I ’ ll never forget the excitement of those first few updates . I ’ ll never forget the OG characters and their stories , even though I decided to stop playing . I hope Mihoyo will do something about it , but for now , it feels like the adventure is over .
