    Great art style. Voice acting is great. Battles are fluid with awesome cut away special attacks. Visually stunning. Glad I played it. I usually stay

Despite my reservations about Genshin and Honkai Impact, Hoyoverse has truly outdone themselves with this game. It's a polished experience, and contrary to what you might expect, it's not as pay-to-win as you'd think. The writing is exceptional, allowing you to not only witness but also feel the characters' development. Each character has unique personality traits that you'll grow to love as you journey through the game.

    The conclusion of the story is masterfully crafted, reminiscent of the epic boss fights in FFXIV. The combination of the music, cutscenes, and dialogue left me in awe. If you're a fan of previous Hoyoverse games, you'll undoubtedly enjoy this one. Even if you're not, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's truly a masterpiece.

    While the game deserves high praise, I won't give it a perfect score due to a few areas that could use improvement. For instance, the main character's voice acting is inconsistent, with dialogue sometimes lacking a voiceover, which feels unfinished. Additionally, certain characters don't move their mouths when speaking, leading to a weird and inconsistent visual experience. The game's multiplayer features are also limited, with only a friend system available at the time of this review. It would be great to have more cooperative gameplay options, as currently, you can only use a friend's character for daily content, without them actively participating alongside you.

    Despite these shortcomings, I've been thoroughly enjoying the game since its release. There's always room for improvement, but overall, it's a fantastic experience. Well done, Hoyo!    … Expand

    The game has no open world, which is neither good nor bad. It's just a fact. The game is corridor-based, but the locations are made very nicely. Overall, this game is more about tactics and story and not about exploring the world. It's just such a genre.

    The plot is simple, but the interaction of characters and the player with the world are written here brilliantly. Very often caught myself laughing my heart out, which I don't often get in games. The characters themselves here looks interesting and prescribed the same. Different characters, looks have a positive impact on the immersion.

    The music here is nice, on different locations it is different and well conveys the mood. Some of the tracks I would add to my library.

    Battles here are turn-based, which allows you to play tactically. The animations in combat are top notch, particularly the superpowers. There's auto-boys, but you don't want to use it in quests at all. It is ideal for farming resources, which reduces the routine to a minimum.

    On the technical side, everything is great here, too. The game looks great and on my RX570 the game runs perfectly at 60 fps. There is gamepad support, but it has some small problems here, I think the patches will fix it.

    In general, the game I am very pleased. Yes, this gacha, but if you have control over your greed, it is not a problem at all.    … Expand

    As for the things mihoyo has improved on:
    - no paimon
    - MC has actual personality - character interactions feel natural
    - jokes are actually funny and don't reference memes that were popular during development and are now outdated
    - some of the best writing I've seen overall (writing is generally very good in mihoyo game but this took it to the next level)
    - very F2P, they found a good balance between being challenging and fun but still not being too easy if you're F2P, unlike Genshin

    As for the things that continue to be a main criticism:
    - "energy"-type ressource that refills with time and locks you out of upgrading characters
    - Gacha aspect, although better than with predecessors, the best characters are still only unlockable through luck or money
    - Everything's overpriced if you want to spend money (100$+ for a 5star character) Although the main criticisms persist, they've been improved greatly to a point where I'd argue that Star rail is generally more F2P friendly than the majority of free games out there. You can get hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of it without spending a dollar. If you want to buy something, there's still the relatively cheap option of buying a "pass" for 6 bucks that gives you about 50$ worth of premium currency over the course of a month. The game itself is actually so well-made and fun that I'll probably spend a thousand hours or more. One of the best games I've played recently for sure and, with hundreds of hours in mihoyo games already, I've come to genuinely enjoy mechanics like the Gacha, even as a F2P player. I feel like people often forget that you can get dopamine hits from Gacha without spending money. If you're F2P and you play daily from the beginning you'll be able to get most if not all characters you want eventually. In conclusion, this is the best mihoyo game yet. It's free and it's not that big, and even without spending a penny you can enjoy a great story, great characters, great writing, great mechanics and a beautiful aesthetic. While mihoyo still uses predatory methods to get you to pay, I believe as long as you think of yourself as someone that can withstand such things you won't have any problems. If you're a gambling addict, I'd be careful. Other than that there's not a single reason to not try it out.    … Expand

    Сюжет: Квесты и основной сюжет стали гораздо приземленней. История как правило связная, целостная и логичная в отличии от той же инфантильной воды которую вы могли видеть в геншине. Персонажи более живые и мотивированны на совершаемые действия (кроме пожалуй одного). В целом отметил бы много неплохого драматизма, сделанного лучше чем "Щеночек умер, плачь если любишь щеночков".

    Визуал: Как всегда на высоте, даже лучше чем в прошлых играх. Если вы конечно не плюетесь от этих китайских мультиков.

    Геймплей: Боевка интересна сама по себе но при этом, кроме пары ньюансов, проста для понимания. Имеется автобой что экономит море вашего времени.
    Контент "Виртуальной вселенной" особенно хорош, местные пути (специализации roguelike бафов) позволяют настраивать прохождение под вашу группу. Нужды прокачивать две группы для эндгейма пока к счастью не увидел, но возможно в дальнейшем. Надеюсь нет.
    "Опенворлд" активности стали менее душными, по большей части собирать сундуки уже не является такой дикой рутинной болью в заднице, да и награды за них стали заметно выше. В целом эксплоринг не ощущается такой же пыткой ради гачи как в геншине. Локации стали закрытыми что дополнительно упрощает эксплоринг.

    Глобально игра приятно выделилась на фоне душного и нелепого геншина, да и многих других гача-игр. Надеюсь что она не будет сильно сбавлять темп, а работу нормального сценариста в очередной раз не отнимет горилла-фанфикофаг пишущая сюжеты в духе "Мы доброе добро против злого зла, которое раньше было... добрым добром... но... АБИЗУМИЛО"

    Honkai Star Rail is a turn based RPG with a similar setting to the Star Ocean series. Where this game really falls apart is the storytelling.

Where this game really falls apart is the storytelling. First off, it uses the overused and bad writing trope of having an amesiac protagonist. Even worse, one of the main characters that joins your party is also an amnesiac because the writers couldn't find a good way to tell a story without shoehorned amnesia. The worst part of the storytelling is simply the game throws a bunch of terminology and then they don't explain any of it. The whole point of having an amesiac character is so that other characters can explain the world to them but that doesn't happen in this game. For instance, what is a Doomsday Beast? What is an Emanator? Who are the Anti-Matter Legion? Who is this Stephen that Herta speaks up? What is a Stellaron? Why are Aeons showing up in a simulated universe? Basically, the game throws out all these terms and characters and doesn't explain them at all which makes the world building quite awful. Later on in the game, you get access to a Database which explains some of this but even that is awful story telling: the story should be told through dialogue and cutscenes, not through some optional encyclopedia.

    The turn based combat and graphics of the game are quite stylish. There are some quality of life features missing. For instance, every character has an out of combat technique that they can use but the overworld UI does not tell you what each character's technique does. Either you have to memorize them all or go into the menu to look it up every time. Combat is relatively straightforward with every character having 3 moves and 1 or 2 passive abilities: a basic attack, a skill attack, and an ultimate which can be used any time you want. The goal is to target enemy weaknesses to delay enemy turns and deal extra damage. Here, the quality of life is really nice because you get to see all weaknesses displayed in and out of battle.

    This is one of those games where there's just so many different types of crafting materials and currency that it's hard to keep track of it all. It'd be much better if it were much more streamlined. There's a way to have crafting/buying systems without having hundreds of different types of materials /currencies on day 1. Overall, you should avoid this game if you're looking for a good story and good character development. But if you're looking for a straightforward, turn based game, this might be the game for you.    … Expand

    Whilst indirectly pay to win, the better definition here would be pay to compete and even progress efficiently. The combat is entirely based on you, the player knowing how to effectively stop your opponents from attacking you, whilst breaking their defenses and exploiting weaknesses, not all characters start off good and require significant monetary investment before they become good, not to mention failure to prepare for boss fights, not having the perfect team to counter bosses makes for a very frustrating time, prepare to be annoyed at cheap mechanics and overpowered enemies.

    The gatcha system naturally with promises of better characters etc etc - absolutely no balance to the game here, as I mentioned everything is so specifically overtuned and frustrating that no skill is involved here unlike Genshin where you could actually use skill to beat bosses and encounters, this is entirely on-rails, linear as heck spreadsheet battles with the player always at the disadvantage, great game if you're willing to shell out a few thousand dollars every few months - its the miHoYo way after all, distract your players with waifu's and husbando's so the feckless masses will throw away their life savings to show off to their friends, and cosplay their favorite characters at cons - make no mistake, this is not a good game.    … Expand

    Explorable areas are on the smaller side in terms of scale. Some dialogue gets a bit too wordy. Gacha systems aren't the most ideal, even when the game showers you in Rail Passes and Stellar Jade.

    Thoughts-
    As a new addition to miHoYo’s growing library of free-to-play RPGs, this is an incredibly well-realized space-faring adventure. It has great characters you want to know better with interesting backstories. The main plot and setting are genuinely interesting to follow, even if the narrative abruptly stops after completing the available content, which is, unfortunately, the bane of every free-to-play title.

    The combat is incredibly fun and well-designed with deceptive complexity. The presentation and production values are top-notch, and the performance is pretty much flawless. If you’re a fan of turn-based role-playing games, and don’t mind the gacha systems, Honkai: Star Rail is at least worth trying out.    … Expand

    Honkai: Star rail has great music, combat, animations, environments, story, and characters.

    It's hard not to fall for the charms of Honkai: Star Rail. The storyline, even if it draws on Japanese anime clichés, is extremely rich, populated by sparkling characters and written with a great deal of humor. The gameplay is addictive and extremely clever, and the monetization knows how to take a back seat to the gameplay experience. A real success story.

    Honkai: Star Rail is a stylish and engaging turn-based RPG that marries a quirky sci-fi tale with anime-style graphics.

    A great role playing game with turn based combat, free and fun. It does not reach the quality of Genshin Impact but it is close.
