While I've never quite gotten on with Genshin Impact, I love its aesthetic. It's vibrant, colorful, and gorgeously animated, blending traditional Asian visuals with a sprawling open-world that's to die for. It's grindiness and gacha mechanics are largely what's put me off of playing it, and its high fantasy setting is something I very much need to be in the mood for. I love a bit of grit and grime, hence my affinity for Zenless Zone Zero, and new roguelike Atomic Picnic feels like it's got that in droves. Blending HoYoverse-style animation with Hades' traditional roguelike mechanics and fast-paced combat, Mad Mushroom's new shooter just dropped, and I want in.
