Is Genshin Impact still worth it for casual players?

Don't let all the gacha mechanics scare you off - Genshin Impact is actually pretty chill for casual players! You can play at your own pace, there's no real forced subscriptions, and the story is genuinely well-told. The only thing is: if you don't play regularly, you'll miss time-limited events - but that's not a disaster either, because the important stuff always comes back around.
