    honkai impact, which i've been playing for a year now bc my wife is a big mihoyo fan and i liked it best out of their three offerings. a lot of the older stuff is very jank/rough, it's a gacha game so it comes off with that usual baggage, and the general art direction is even more male-gazey than genshin. but the visuals/flow of the combat with modern characters is great, and there's clearly a lot of effort put into the choreography and animations that make actually playing the game with the 3-woman teams just really fun.

        genshin is the best mihoyo can do when it comes to reigning in their objectifiying horniness. can't expect much from a company founded by a bunch of awkward chinese nerds.

        shrug-outta-hecks a lot of people in the fanbase are way too willing to turn a blind eye to it since half of it is composed of the old awooga booba honkers otakus old guard and the other half are the genshin fandom gays.
