Honkai: Star Rail

Hopefully it gets better. HSR really dumps exposition and stuff, but I skip the tutorial and just blindly play with the controls. It's easy to learn, but the behind-the-scenes functions are not. Crit rate, crit damage etc. Once you catch up to the story, you spend your entire game time just making your characters stronger, which is heavily reliant on luck, if you don't want to waste money.
Story wise, it was great. I loved playing the companion quests and I was invested, but once I got to Xianzhou Luofu, it was a mess and I lost interest. It's hard to get back into the story again. Hopefully it gets better in penacony, haven't played as of 6/4/2024.
Character designs are amazing. Really great eye-candy. I love the animations, too.
Overall, it's a solid game. But a game that you have to commit a lot of time to. Story and maybe characters are the weak point as the story is all over the place in Xianzhou Luofu and characters lack screen time. Good thing we have companion quests that flesh the characters out. Building the characters is very grindy, but absolutely rewarding. This ends up being 90% of your playthrough. 6/10.

set aside the timeless art style, engulfing atmosphere, robust battle system, cast of colourful demons, etc — why do i love a game that can just ambush me and one shot me whenever it wants? the answer is simple: i am its bitch, and by god i shall stay that way even after conquering it on hard (i do not recommend this as it is the one poorly designed thing about this game)

This game does nothing unique it's a mix of bayonetta's combat but with much simpler combos however the simplistic combat is very very satisfying with visuals which make you feel like you're doing more than left click.
The character system is very similar to persona where you upgrade your bonds by spending time for better stats and better abilities. The tropes are very predictable and something painfully cringe.
anyways the game play and ost is amazing 10/10 mastapeece
