Just started it, and aside from virtual controls being awful as always, it seems like a nice game. But, of course, it's F2P, which usually means a game that would be good if you could just buy it has been deliberately ruined in order to make constant purchases both necessary and worthless.

So, how badly has it been monetised, is it possible to just follow the story freely/cheaply if I don't care about PvP or rankings, and is there any beginners' advice on how to get the most out of gacha?

Also, what's Honkai Impact? I thought I'd read somewhere that it was an earlier game in the same 'series', but then somewhere else said that it was a Genshin tie-in? But looks more sci-fi than Genshin's fantasy.
