How did Star Rail completely upend my expectations? A Genshin player's first impressions & review.
Honkai: Star Rail is the latest game published by Hoyoverse, and when I first saw it I thought I would not enjoy it.
On the surface it has a lot of similarities to Genshin Impact, but it does not include some key parts that made Genshin one of my favourite games of all time.
What first got me hooked on Genshin was the stunning open world exploration, and a large part of what kept me going back was the intricate and satisfying third-person real-time combat system. Star Rail does not have an open world, and exploration is not a major part of the game. Worse, it has a turn-based combat system, which is something I have never enjoyed in any games previously.
I gave it a chance anyway, fully expecting to put it down after a couple of hours and write it off as “not for me”. Instead, I loved it from day one and have played every day since launch.
Let’s talk about how it completely upended my expectations!
