Honkai: Star Rail review
So is that it?
Is it just a sci-fi Genshin that cuts out the more time consuming activities?
A big part of me wants to say yes.
I actually enjoyed a lot of the story, despite Star Rail’s best efforts to stop me.
Why give one sentence explanations for important details, yet spend eight paragraphs overexplaining the simplest plot twist?
A space opera with all the drama, but none of the excitement.
While the characters often follow certain overdone archetypes, the talented cast help make them feel fresh.
No other character plays like this, and therein lies the appeal of spending your currency on Seele.
Well, that, and you want her on your team because you like her.
Your phone is usually a side quest machine, but there are occasional, inconsequential conversations that pop up.
All of this, and it’s just the first chapter in your Trailblazer’s journey.
Just a sci-fi Genshin Impact?
Maybe to some, but I like my Star Rail smoothie, even if it tastes familiar.
