Genshin Impact’s Orchestral Soundtrack Is Unbelievably Good
5.10.2021
Genshin Impact’s online concert last Sunday was a nonstop series of bangers, but the game really didn’t need one to convince me that it has one of the best video game scores I’ve heard in the past several years. So even if you’ve never played Genshin, I’d still like you to experience some of...
