So I promised my next post would be about
Honkai: Star Rail, and here we are!
Star Rail is another Hoyoverse gacha game. Honestly, though, I find the story line more entertaining than Genshin Impact. It's that nice mix of science fiction and fantasy. And the humor is great, kind of off the wall at times (which is totally up my alley as you'd know if you've ever read any of my Fractured Fairies stories).
I've also already found two references to Persona 5, which totally made me fangirl - lol. It's awesome that the writers don't take themselves too seriously, making the story a lot of fun, even though there are plenty of serious moments. I mean, trashcans are a huge running joke. You have to play the game to understand... Trust me.
The art style is also fantastic. But you can judge for yourself because it's time for screenshots!
First up is my newest character's splash art - Feixiao.
Here's a nice shot of the Astral Express crew.
Now a few shots from the story line (unfortunately, I'm often too slow to get some pretty neat screenshots, or I'd have more - heh).
And finally, here's one of those humorous moments. The Trailblazer with a bunch of creations from a Genius Society member!
I know it's a gacha game, but as long as you can resist spending tons of money on pixels, it's definitely a game any science fiction and fantasy lover would enjoy!
