In 2002, in episode 15 of Azumanga Daioh, the word “waifu” was first used. A petition signed by one thousand Japanese citizens gained international attention. Taichi Takashita led the charge on a petition to their government. The Daily Telegraph of the United Kingdom reported on October 30, 2008, that the couple had asked for permission to marry fictional characters from comic books. The petition laid the groundwork for waifuism, which refers to a fanbase or a group that is in love with or infatuated with comic or fictional characters, but the Japanese government paid little heed to the request.
We’d want to learn more about Waifuism, but that will have to wait for another time. However, today we will have a brief look at two of the top free-to-play games that include the most badass waifu content in the universe. Check it out in the third installment of Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact.
Since the game’s characters are already 100% waifu, we’ll be focusing on the game’s features instead. Making game mechanics central helps you quickly gauge which titles are most suited to your preferred method of play. Check out our quick analysis of two of miHoYo’s most popular games.
Since the same developer worked on both Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, comparing their visual styles is difficult. Genshin Impact, on the other hand, is the more recent release and has polished, high-budget visuals. It’s like Honkai Impact 3rd, but better. It has more realistic mechanics and a more fleshed-out cast and setting. To put it another way, the waifus in Genshin Impact are more fleshed-out than in their relative.
Graphics
Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3 are different from one another in terms of gameplay. Genshin Impact focuses less on gunpowder and more on weapons that detonate without it. There are four main weapon classes in the game: bow, claymore, polearm, and sword. There is also an element-based item called a catalyst. However, Honkai Impact 3rd offers a wide variety of weapons to choose from, including cannons, crosses, gauntlets, greatswords, katana, lance, Pistols, and scythes. To sum up, if you’re the kind of player who enjoys having a variety of weaponry at your disposal, Honkai Impact 3rd is the game for you.
Weapons
One other thing that sets Genshin Impact apart from Honkai Impact 3rd is the setting. To begin, Genshin Impact has an open-world map that may be explored for a considerable amount of time. There are a tonne of people, places, and things involved in the big scheme. On the other hand, Honkai Impact 3rd only has a semi-open arena for combat, and not an open world. That being stated, Genshin Impact is the perfect game for you if you like free-roaming about with your waifu. If you’re not into adventuring, Genshin Impact 3rd’s episodic arena is your next best bet.
Environment
The gameplay of both Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd is characterised by intense, fast-paced combat. Genshin Impact, generally speaking, has more material and less commercialization than the other title. The breathtaking open-world gameplay, the fantastic music, and the painstakingly detailed artwork provide the ideal backdrop for the game’s many quests, missions, and other activities. The focus of Honkai Impact 3rd, on the other hand, is on spectacular combat full of visual effects.

Which one is superior than the other in terms of gameplay is totally up to the individual. If you’re looking for simple, action-packed combat, go no further than Snow Rider 3D. Genshin Impact is the finest game out there if you want open-world action RPG gameplay.
Spending Quality Time with Your Waifu
Some of the most lethal, alluring, and potent waifu characters in free-to-play gaming can be found in Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd. Genshin Impact has a larger cast with 23 characters compared to Honkai Impact 3rd’s 14. The answer to the issue of which game is superior, if you’re into waifuism, depends on your own preferences and areas of interest. While the aforementioned factors are important, they may not be decisive if you have your heart set on a certain waifu from one of miHoYo’s fun.
Plus, you’ll probably play so you can spend time with your significant other. So, whether you have a waifu or not, if you want an action-packed PC game, you can’t go wrong with either Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact 3rd.
