The game isn't for everyone but its definitely a game for me, I'm loving it so far and I can't wait to see what it has to offer in the future

[f.b.l.]

I think the story is helped a ton by the MC not having a Paimon type character talk for them and the MC feels more forward or assertive as opposed to traveler which feels like a background character in comparison since he's just there, while everyone else do the talking, he doesn't give much input and when he does try to, Paimon steps in.

I really love the dialogue options in this game as if like the devs are having fun with it (devs are probably memelords)

[ZachStJohn-vikg]

Another big pro of it being linear and not open world is they're gonna be able to push a lot more content more quickly

I’m glad Mtashed is able to be happy making guides and videos about a game he likes

[AnimeWineAuntie]

The task automation and the limited world exploration being balanced with good story/quality... this game actually feels like it can be casual player friendly. Congrats to Hoya for achieving that with HSR.

I know exactly what boss he’# talking about and he’s not overhyping it. That battle was magnificent.

I personally (and I hate to compare) am enjoying this more than Genshin. I also have problems with my wrists, so the turn based combat is exactly what I've been looking for!

Edit: why are you guys arguing under my comment? I literally made sure to say I hate to compare, and that I have a disability with my wrists so I was looking forward to playing a turn based game, because it’s a lot easier for me. Did you even bother to read the full comment, or did you just see me say I am enjoying this more than genshin, and immediately come here to argue? This community can be so toxic sometimes.

While everyone has been rushing to get to the "endgame" I've just been strolling along enjoying the story, characters and world. I love the unique setting and story that the developers have created. The voice acting and art is super high quality.

Natasha’s companion mission is so good in terms of the story

[arvandor]

I'm kind of burnt out on Genshin exploration, and the more linear nature is actually a breath of fresh air to me. And I also agree about Genshin story/dialogue. One of my biggest complaints has always been that they take 8000 words to tell a 200 word story, so HSR does much better with that as well.

[jakubdawidwozniak]

im so hooked on this game, i love it and the combat is so satisfying

[asdqwertyonly]

Surprising that I got a bit hooked in the game considering that Im not a fan of turn based games. I didnt even bat an eye when it launched since I dont really feel it. I gave it a try after seeing multiple people playing. Its also nice to see people sharing their different team comps with the 5 star they got from beginner banner. Nice interaction, just hope it wont turn bad like genshin

[apex_xd]

it feels like they took what they learned from genshin and implemented a lot of improvements. (for those of u that dont know theres an item in the battlepass that allows you to customize your artifacts/relics which is a features we've been asking for for a long time) so there are definitely a lot of systems changes which feel way better than genshin. So I hope they go back to genshin and implement some of these improvements as well

[joukhr]

i'm honestly really happy this game is more linear because the exploration in genshin was starting to make me motion sick

also the auto battle is so fun i thought i'd dislike the turn based stuff but i love it

[valk]

As a huge Trails and Persona fan and also a genshin player, this game is absolutely everything I've ever wanted

[SanityPotion]

I totally get you. I am blown away by HSR so far. I came into it extremely skeptical because of a few reasons - I have never been someone to enjoy Mihoyo games, I never got into Genshin and I never got into Honkai Impact. I tend to not enjoy turn based games and fully expected to bounce off the game in an hour or two. Fast forward 3 days and HSR has consumed my free time. The story content is great and has emotional highs and lows, the voice acting is amazing, and the combat is surprisingly engaging and fun. What really cemented it for me like yourself was that last fight on Jarilo-VI. I really hope I stick with this game for years to come.

[TheWindsofWonder]

It’s honestly like the Genshin team took note of every complaint we had for the game and then handed the notes off to the Star Rail team instead fixing their game. Truly one of the games of all time.

[starboiii]

After that boss fight I will definitely keep playing this game, that was so good.

5:49 - as someone that loves exploring an open world like genshin, i agree with this so much! star rail's linear exploration got me addicted too because it's doing it right
