Honkai Star Rail (HSR) launched on April 25th, 2023, and in typical Mihoyo fashion, the game was especially difficult to reroll. I’m talking about 40+ minutes for ~20 pulls. BUT, despite all this, I got EXTREMELY lucky:

1. Bronya in FIRST pull on limited banner
2. Seele another 9 (!!!) pulls later

crazy.

After playing a bit, I got Yanqing from the Beginner Banner’s pity. Overall, off to a great start to say the least.

As for the actual gameplay… Let’s start with the pros.
The writing has significantly improved and is so much funnier than Genshin Impact (especially the trash can dialogues). The characters also have better and fuller hair, which I really like. I also love Pom Pom so much better than Paimon. The world environment is also very beautiful. Good things aside, I realized that turn based games are just not my thing. I personally think the gameplay is quite boring, but I can see why others might like it. I also dislike how stingy Mihoyo is (most other gacha games give out way more at launch). Last but not least, this game doesn’t let you jump!!!

Final thoughts: Is the game enjoyable? Somewhat. Am I going to keep playing it? For now. Am I going to spend $$$? No.
Till Next Time~
