Genshin Impact's content is fairly easy to overcome because the world level increases alongside a players Adventure Rank. Usually, players who properly level up their characters hardly face any troubles in the open world of Teyvat.
The Spiral Abyss is probably the only end-game feature in Genshin Impact, and it consists of twelve different floors. Players usually struggle with the last two floors since they require a variety of different and unique team compositions in order to benefit from all the bonuses the Abyss provides.
A recent post on the official Genshin Impact subreddit has revealed that since the introduction of the Inazuma islands in update 2.0, the Spiral Abyss has become much harder to beat with each update. Reddit user hyperxeled explained this issue by using a metric called consolidated HP, which is the highest HP of all enemies in every wave combined. All the Abyss floors from update 1.0 to 1.6 had the same exact consolidated HP. Increasing the difficulty ceiling is not the problem as many players even prefer it but making current content exponentially harder compared to the rest of the game seems unnatural.

Genshin Impact Players were expressing different complaints in the comment section, but most of them have one thing in common, which is that the new Rifthound enemies are probably one of the worst additions miHoYo has ever made to the game. They are especially hard to beat with melee characters, and it should be noted that only bow and catalyst users are ranged. Their constant jumping makes it almost impossible for players to land their damage burst. On top of that, they have a massive health pool and are impossible to group up, even with strong supports.
This is especially bad for new players since it was already hard enough to grind for late-game content with numerous RNG obstacles like waiting for a perfect artifact roll. If this increase in difficulty continues, new players will have an impossible task to catch up to it without strong Abyss characters like Zhongli. Another problem is that in the latter stages of the game, the progress will appear much smaller even if you put in the same grind each day.
Genshin Impact is free-to-play on Mobile, PC, and PS4, with a Switch version in development.
