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.
