I can't believe Ghost of Tsushima is a Genshin clone, Lord Shimura is just a male Raiden Shogun all along, my day is ruined

TLDR: Genshin didn't invent any of the mechanics that it has in the game and borrowed heavily. This is not uncommon for most games. Genshin is a solid game. The PR or developer responsiveness isn't great though. Genshin is an outlier that was a combination of timing + opportunity + first open world Gacha that was also designed well.
...
These Genshin generalizations that we are being reminding of incessantly reminds me of World of Warcraft's reign. WoW was the first RPG, MMO or sometimes video game for a lot of people. Almost every MMO that came out for a while afterwards, people swore these games were stealing ideas from WoW.
The games success was largely due to the polish and user-friendliness of a lot of previous MMORPG mechanics from games like: Ultima, Everquest, Asheron's Call, Dark age of Camelot.. and a lot of others I am forgetting. All of these games borrowed ideas from other games and repurposed or improved them.
Genshin Impact is largely influenced by Breath of the Wild and other Zelda games, with a mix of various RPG mechanics and great animations. It's very cringey when people claim WuWa is a Genshin clone, it proves their lack of experience in gaming. Yes their are systems that are copied or similar or improved, but so is a lot of Genshin.
Genshin = BoTW + various Zelda + various Gacha games (and Honkai Impact) + anime + various RPGs + TCGs.
WuWa = Genshin + Devil May Cry + various fighting games + various gacha games (and PGR) + various RPGs + Pokémon + anime.
For even it's faults Genshin is a solid game. I was burnt out long, when I discovered that very few things were going to improve. Mihoyo made a god awful amount of money and didn't have to change anything or take risks in GI.
WuWa is looking promising starting out and the Developers seem to be fast at communication and taking feedback. Time will tell on how well it does. Likely nothing will be as widely played or as profitable as the last two Mihoyo games. But not being as profitable is a far cry from something being a bad game or a failure.
