Look, we all saw Breath of the Wild's DNA plastered all over this one, from the gliding and climbing to the art style. But miHoYo took that blueprint, slapped on some anime flair, an open world packed with content, and a dangerously addictive gacha system. And you know what? It worked. Players flocked to it, spending billions. It’s a masterclass in iterating on proven concepts, proving that sometimes, being 'inspired' is just good business.

Genshin Impact is still out here collecting waifus, husbandos, and primogems. This open-world action RPG has such a massive world to explore, with stunning visuals and an elemental combat system that makes every fight feel strategic and flashy. Yeah, it's a gacha game, but the exploration and story are so good, you can easily just chill and play through it. Plus, the constant updates keep things fresh. It’s a huge time sink, but in a good way.
