I play Genshin Impact and it's a lot of bang for your non-buck in terms of content. You can enjoy the full experience without spending so much as a penny and not even get FOMO. There are multiple events where you can unlock gatcha-only characters for free, in fact I think there's one on right now. Otherwise if you're into rhythm games I play Bang Dream and Idolmaster Starlight Stage. Bang Dream has an English version and it's cutesy and inoffensive. Im@s is japanese only but doesn't require knowledge for the core game loop.
Yeah sure, how far along the main quest are you? Have you explored the map in full? For the most part the fun is finding chests and secrets and stuff. After that it's just a case of doing weekly events and waiting for content updates.
Otherwise it's a case of doing the domains and bosses to get crafting materials to upgrade your characters and equipment. Honestly if you're not interested in the raw DPS checks that are these elements of the domains etc, don't even bother. Just wait for the devs to release new events and play those. Check in every so often for updates and play the new quests. If you want the full experince then you just need to focus on your characters, their best weapons and their best elemental interactions. And this will take a lot of materials acquisition.
I just got to Stormterror's Lair and I've basically only taken a couple of steps into Liyue, looks like there's a shitload of map left. Have explored most of Mondstadt, the only things I'm missing are a couple of domains that don't unlock until higher AR.
Mostly I just kinda suck at the combat. I'm trying to do the secret island Time And Wind quest but the level 40 Eye of the Storm at the end is a massive damage sponge. It's a battle of attrition even with elemental reactions and I don't come out on top. My artifacts are suboptimal and many of them aren't powered up at all, which doesn't help.
I have Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, and the traveller powered up to 40 with okish gear, mostly 3- and 4-star weapons that are somewhere between level 20 and 40. I also have Noelle, Ningguang, Xiao, Diona, Beidou, and Bennett that I obtained through wishes but none of them are powered up at all. I have a 5-star bow that I'm not using either, Skyward Harp? I've powered it up to level 30, but I've got Amber using a lv. 40 The Stringless because of its elemental damage boost. Not sure if I should swap those.
Xiao is one of the most OP characters in the game, so start dumping xp books and resources into him ASAP. Bennet is probably the most versatile healer/backup DPS, and Beidou is a good all-around hitter. Diona will make a good ranged replacement. Honestly, you've got a potentially strong lineup, but it will set you back a little rebuilding your other characters. https://genshin.gg/ is a good guide if you want some simple duilds for your various characters in terms of items and such.
The only spear I have for Xiao is the Black Tassel, which boosts damage vs. slimes, which is why I hadn't bothered powering him up yet. Thanks for the recommendations!
edit: also what's the best thing to use my primogems on? I've basically been saving them just for Fates but I don't know if there's a better thing to use them on
The game slows down a bit at around 25 if you are an every day type of player. You will definitely feel the lack of resin soon enough. Other than that, you aren't competing with anyone so enjoy your team but have a gameplan at the same time and don't spread yourself thin.
Damn, that's actually nuts. I'm playing on PC so I can't comment but that is maddening to think about. No chance of forcing it or finding a workaround?

Do you have any tips for Genshin Impact? I just hit adventure rank 23 and I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing.

Primos should only be used to buy rolls on gatcha. There's a shop that you can use to exchange them for crafting materials, but I wouldn't bother
Ok cool, good to know. Thanks again!

Genshin not having controller support yet on Andoird is driving me nuts because I know id sink so much time into it.
