Genshin Impact’s overwhelming presence in the gacha space has been nearly uncontested for five years now, occupying an enviable position as one of the most popular gacha games of all time. Many games, referred to as Genshin clones, have tried and failed to recreate miHoYo’s success, but none have come as close as Wuthering Waves, an open-world action RPG that isn’t content to simply copy Genshin’s formula, but rather takes it further. With Wuthering Waves’ success, developers would be wise to take notes and understand what made this Genshin Impact clone different from all the rest. Wuthering Waves has proven that Genshin’s position isn’t unassailable, and there is room for more games like it in the industry. #wuthering #waves #hopefully #only #first
