Honkai: Star Rail

I really like this game, however I have encountered a game breaking bug. I haven't logged on in two months and now I am unable to at all. I keep getting error messages anytime I try. I really want to play it again to pass the time. other than that the game was solid. decent graphics and it runs well on my phone. I have increased my stars to 4, found a fix to my issue. started playing again. very fun turned based Gatcha game with a decent story and fun characters.

First off, I’m going to come out and say that yes, this is a gacha game. However, there are so many ways for players to earn premium currency just by playing the game that being a gacha game makes total sense. I love this game. It’s one of the few games that I can keep up with on a daily basis amidst working full time and 3 children. The events are a decent length of time so I don’t have to feel rushed to complete things. The characters, story and style is just amazing. You can feel the passion put into this game as you play. There are also some auto-play mechanics to help with the dailies so if you don’t have much time to play you can still do it in the background while making breakfast or whatever without having to stress that you don’t have time. I can get all daily stuff done to earn the daily 500 points in 5 minutes. I’m not kidding. When I have the time to sit down and play at night I can focus on the story and running around and having fun. For people with lives a game like this is wonderful. I have been playing daily for the last year and will probably continue to play daily until the game dies. Thank you Hoyo for once again making another phenomenal game and for listening to the players. This is my favorite Hoyo game to date followed by ZZZ.

I absolutely adore this game for a multitude of reasons, but I will say that the devs are getting greedy. Older characters have been powecrept so quickly there's no point in bringing them to any new combat content. There is also a huge lack of 4 stars. Parts of character kits are starting to be locked behind constellations when they should be included at E0. Overall I'm deeply concerned that the game I love is going to end up soulless and greedy. Star rail has so much going for it.

This game may have its issues with powercreep, but I'm pretty sure it will stay playable for f2p, seeing as a large portion of the player base prefers saving money, or simply keeping the challenge. I'm hoping that isn't compromised anytime soon. Regardless, HSR is my favorite gacha game I've played (I played the other 2 big dogs in the gacha world.) The quests are always either funny, profound, engaging, or comforting. The events are very entertaining and well-thought out, but I must ask you to provide more of them! After finishing an event, I feel dread because I don't want to run out of them so quickly, and it seems that Hoyo is a bit slow on pumping them out. The characters are very much my favorite aspect of the game, with lots of nuance, different motivations, and they're not always fixated on the MC, thus letting each character have its own independent value, with whatever unique role they play. The combat is great, I love being strategic but not being stressed by real-time combat, as my hands and fingers hurt sometimes and don't allow me to react quickly. The game environments are engaging, and I hope Hoyo can put out as many puzzles / chests out as possible, as it's one of the easiest ways for f2p to quickly and mindlessly collect stellar jades, though it does take time to find them. Overall, HSR is so relaxing to play, but interesting and "personal" in a way too. The dialogue is pretty good!

Let’s start off like this: I love this game. The character designs sre unique, the animations and fighting style are clean and most of the characters really fit their personality and style with in game mechanics. The game is amazing for someone who wants a game they don’t have to spend hours in front of their screen for. The auto battle mode is amazing for people who wanna do other things while they play like that homework assignment that was due last night. Yeah, I’m talking about you. A few things people might complain about is: lack of things to do, very long quests, etc. The rewards the game gives are very generous and whilst this is a gacha game, I’d say you can play it F2P and get MOST things you want. Of course, it just depends. I’m almost fully free to play on the game, minus the one time I spend $10 since I had money to spare, and I’ve gotten my favorite character, Aventurine, and his lightcone. As well as some other amazing characters. The main story quests can be very long at times, which can put some people off. And it DOES take a little skill and practice to get good at the fighting mechanics, but over all the game is 100% worth it if you like anime gacha games with generous rewards and casual ways to farm materials. Later in the game it may appear that there’s a lack of things to do, which can put it off. Depends on how often you play.

There are many mobile games that fall behind their PC counterparts and competition. This is not one of them. Exploration is easy, and being on mobile doesn't make it unnecessarily difficult. Each battle and puzzle you complete is up to you for how fast you want to go, while also putting up a great challenge. Not the mention the outstanding story, characters, and world building. It's extremely immersive and compelling. I play this game because I love every single thing about it.
