The best story so far? Fontaine Archon Quest Review!
591Fontaine started with a bang, which gave me high hopes that the archon quests would measure up to the standard set in Sumeru. When the final act was released the response was fantastic, with many saying it stood out as the best story in Genshin so far — but there were always some who claimed it was overrated.
I was extremely busy at the time and wanted to give it the focus it deserved, so I carefully avoided spoilers, and saved it until towards the end of the patch. Some will have finished the story a couple of months ago at this point, but for me it’s fairly fresh and recent.
I played it on stream and loved every minute. A week or two later I started writing a review …and the moment I started looking closer I found myself listing more flaws than I’d expected.
So… was it all hype? Or does it truly deserve all that praise? Let’s take a closer look!
