Honkai: Star Rail 12+

People being overly critical?

The game is amazing in almost every aspect (can’t skip dialogue is the only downside) and everyone is complaining about it having some minor flaw and then immediately putting in a one star review. Things like “This game is not exactly like Genshin so I’ll give it one star” (paraphrasing) which is honestly kind of lazy. In other reviews, the game is apparently perfect in every single way except one flaw which immediately somehow puts it down to one star. If the game is so boring, name another mobile game that is more fun. And don’t even get me started on people who complain the game Is “too manual.” What does that even mean? Do you want the game to be completely automatic or something? At that point just read a visual novel. And then people will complain about the game not having enough hands on stuff. Honestly double standards. Only bad part is unskippable dialogue which was a problem for Genshin too, but that’s easily turned into a non-issue by simply paying attention to the story. People with 0.5 femtosecond attention spans really need to learn how to be a functional human being.

Great game but needs improvement

I’ve been playing Genshin since its release and it was very engaging story wise and had an easy and interactive game plan. However, once I started playing Honkai Star Rail, I expected the game play to be just as easy to grasp like Genshin, but unfortunately it wasn’t.
Personally, I’m only interested in the lore and exploration of the game, not the boss fights because they seem overly complicated and the tutorial lacked in depth detail that’s easy to grasp. It’s discouraging and makes me dread fighting in the game as the concept is much more difficult to grasp compared to Genshin. This is my personal experience, so if anyone disagrees then I accept that.
Another issue I have is the fact you can’t continue the game without wasting money on top tier characters, which adds to my dissatisfaction and discouragement to continue playing. As I said, at this point, I’m only interested in the story and not the game play. Genshin is leagues better even if you also have to spend money on it as well. At least with Genshin, you can use low tier characters and buff them up to continue the game, but for Star Rail it’s much more difficult.
Regardless, the game is aesthetically pleasing and has incredible scenery which I enjoy. I would recommend playing it but you would have to research and be willing to spend a lot of money in order to fully enjoy the experience.

Ok but extreme expensive turn base game…

Story is good but many part don’t explain anything and confusing, sometime the transition to next cutscene don’t make any sense feels like they cut out something or rushes skip when talking half way. Main female is voice by mikasa/2B Japanese voice actor but entire story she never opened the mouth to speak but using telepathy with people with text, only when she thinking in her own head you can hear her voice. The story progress will become harder when you not able to grind for exp book to lv your characters when run out of stamina trailblazer power/resins. Later you will struggle even more because you don’t have good characters, because free characters will start to struggle with story battles. It uses same stamina system in genshin where stamina is extreme low and extreme slow to recover! The gacha rate is same as genshin, extreme terrible lowest rate compare to all other gacha games out there. Good luck spending money on this single player turn base gacha game. Because I don’t see any worth of playing this compare to other Japanese turn base gacha game where you get strong by leeching in anyone raid and get material or weapon drops to get strong than pay gacha to get strong, also you can even play 24/7 without running out of stamina than waiting stupid 18 hours for resin/trailblazer power to recover!!!!!
