Infinity Nikki review - finally, a worthy Genshin Impact killer
A true step forward for open-world gacha games, Infinity Nikki finally brings some much needed competition to the miHoYo monopoly.
For example, there are hot air balloon rides that are perfect for soaking in the fairytale sights; bubble blowers to annoy NPCs with; magical hopscotch that changes Nikki's clothes with every skip; and a 'Whimcycle' bike used to pedal across rolling hills and hop to impossible heights with. It's something that's become unfortunately all too familiar with open-world gacha games recently, though I will say that most of the time, the bugs I spotted were largely inconsequential, and often more funny than anything else: animals walking on air and clipping into cliffsides, and an entire cutscene focused on Nikki and her conversation buddy's midriffs instead of their faces. If nothing else, it sure is nice see miHoYo have some proper competition for once, and I know I'll still be returning to Miraland whenever I'm in need of a mood boost, whether that be in the form of humming along to catchy tunes while Whimcycling my way towards hot air balloons, or laughing at the melodrama in future story updates.
