Out of the 4 games from Hoyoverse so far, this one definitely suits me. I simply like Turn based combat because it requires us to think more, and I like that the devs always give quality of life updates and adding more and more endgame content. At first release yes it was quite boring, but now you can do many things in this game and they keep adding more endgame content and events. Not to mention the next patches will continue the main story which will be peak.

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

Ya that's what's so crazy to me about the devs for star rail. they're constantly putting out significant changes that people really enjoy. Like they're already adding another endgame?? I am so used to genshin devs where they ignore endgame and put out for the most part, imo, superficial changes instead of the main changes ppl ask for. Like they're going to be adding more artifact optimizations which is nice ig, probably wont affect me, but an artifact loadout would be amazing. And players have been asking for this for so long

@noice9193 7 месяцев назад

Yeah same I tried genshin before and it felt like straight chores leveling my adventure rank just so I could progress the story when it happens naturally and quickly in star rail.

@achipmunk195 7 месяцев назад

i find star rail suitable for me... especially if you are very busy with work. not to mention i don't even have to wait a day or two to farm certain ascension materials.

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

exactly, I like how its possible to take a break from it if you need to, and then when you actually want to grind on it you can, like you said you don't have to wait for materials

@JGDGkot 7 месяцев назад

Something that I really enjoy about HSR is how simple the game is, as a good portion of turn based games have a problem of giving you hundreds of options that you need to spend hours to figure out, only to end up with few actual builds that mostly differ when it comes to stats they scale with, or damage types. While in this game the individual kits are simple enough that you can just change your team before each fight. That said Star Rail also has enough small mechanics to create unique situations that make playing it interesting, as there is always another way to use your abilities (or other characters) to potentially deal damage more efficiently, and get better rewards.

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

The hundreds of options was sort of like genshin to me when I first played, but I gotta say I actually enjoyed the process of learning a unit / team and then mastering it which was fun for me

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

actually insane how they did that

@shihohinomorisbiggestfan 7 месяцев назад

12:56, there's a fix for this!!! self modeling resin! you can pick what set and piece to create, as well as its main stat :) you can get them from events and the BP. you also need fragments from deleting (I forgot the term) 5* relics, but you need 100 fragments, which each 5* relic drops 10, so only 10 5* relics that you don't feel the need to keep. it's suuuper helpful. you can't do anything about the substats unfortunately, but it's a much easier system

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

much appreciated!

@digital-underworld 7 месяцев назад

Not all events are placed into the incomplete events tab you can see which ones are retained by the symbol on the top left corner of the event's tab. Mostly the events that are kept are the ones that have story or world significance

@noice9193 7 месяцев назад

Memory of chaos is more end game since it tests your dps without any help from blessings like in simulated universe. Simulated universe is very fun though since it’s like sandbox

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

Another viewer has commented the same thing that simulated universe isn't really endgame. Now I see why and agree, but I gotta admit I really like the whole rogue like gameplay. Theres just something fun and interesting about going through a series of levels getting more buffs and fighting more difficult enemies

@noice9193 7 месяцев назад

@pandoravex4791 7 месяцев назад

I honestly had stopped Genshin cause I got so bored with the grind and the story wasn’t clicking with me anymore. I actually stopped playing it for a year, and then suddenly Honkai Starrail showed up and my brother was trying to get me to play it, but I was pretty apathetic till I watched a review of the game. I definitely find Honkai so much funnier than Genshin and though it’s clear there’s a bigger story, I find myself more attached to the characters thanks to the levity. And I’ve always loved RPG games. So this was a great mix of things I enjoyed, and my goodness the auto-battle feature is so much better to ease in the grind. I just put the auto-fights in the caverns while I work and get the stuff I need. And another thing is I’ve had soooo much better luck with the pulls here, and because there’s so many events constantly, I’ve actually had to spend less in this game than in Genshin to get my characters. And the free 10 pulls after every patch is great. I also love just trying to solo the simulated universe with my Clara.

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing, and I agree! A 10 pull every patch is so nice and I've also got clara and shes so good. Literally because of her I'm progressing through the simulated uni and the forgotten hall

@dindangdere7779 7 месяцев назад

To add on, star rail also has a better farming and "strongbox-like" mechanic. I farm much less in star rail for good builds than in genshin because I can chuck the relics into the synthesiser and choose the piece I need instead of wasting time looking through multiple pieces

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

whatttt I didn't know that thanks for mentioning

@jjjackal1110 I dunno it's immediately better then genshin just for that (well for me it was already leaps and bounds better before that)

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

@@yoohoo236 Certainly its something you're right. But I'm just saying my focus on the review was how the game runs or what you'll be doing, with a few comparisons to genshin. A free limited 5 star is insanely generous, but it doesn't tell of how the game itself is. So if I did the review now I would just say its a great time to play now, and be praising the devs more, which they definitely deserve

Something you missed with the artifact grind in HSR is that in hsr you can actually focus what main stats and sets you want, like a much better strongbox but you can pick the specific pieces, set, and main stat.

@jjjackal1110 6 месяцев назад

thanks for mentioning, I didn't actually know such a thing existed. Glad it does tho🗿

@arondyte318 7 месяцев назад

Quit and uninstalled after a few months. Endgame became a slog, boring and too repetitive rather quickly. It just got mind numbing watching battles set to auto at 3x speed over and over and over again since this is pretty much what you’ll be doing 98% of the time. Story was pretty forgettable. At least graphics look nice I guess?

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

Could it be that you were playing on auto that you got bored? Or was it cause you were initially bored and thus switched to auto play? Thanks for your insights btw. Though I'm still sorta early in the game, I appreciate an endgame players insight. I remember in genshin I read other endgame players insight about the lack of endgame

@arondyte318 7 месяцев назад

@@jjjackal1110 I actually switched to Auto because the combat system already overstayed its welcome by endgame. There’s just not enough depth to keep me hooked and engaged long term. It actually became a chore to go through mundane relic runs day after day since there’s pretty much nothing else to do since the world is pretty empty and non-existent multiplayer to help spice it up. The combat system feels like the opposite of Genshin - while Genshin combat constantly leaves you wanting for more, HSR combat is something you just want to get over with ASAP since it’s just not fun to play after a while (hence why Autobattle is a necessary evil). I might revisit it in the future but with juggernauts like ZZZ, WW and Arknights: Endfield looming in the horizon, not sure if it’s even worth it by then. It had its moments for me but ultimately, not worth sticking around for. So I bid goodbye to it. See you space cowboy! 🫡

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

@@arondyte318 Hope you enjoy those games. Thats actually a really good point you brought up. Star rail does have endgame sure, but it doesn't have the exploraration that genshin has. So unlike genshin where there's combat and exploration, albeit no endgame, star rail only has combat & endgame. So if you fall away with the combat you pretty much fall away with the game

@arondyte318 7 месяцев назад

@@jjjackal1110 That’s exactly how I felt. The mediocre combat and lackluster story just doesn’t excel enough to make up for the lack of exploration and multiplayer interactivity. I even remember that we had a patch wherein Hoyo just added 15minutes worth of story content for the entire patch like WTH 😂. The constant powercreeping of DPS characters also concern me for the future of the game. It might turn into a deep cashgrab unlike genshin’s reverse powercreep issue.

@skyzell5029 7 месяцев назад

@@arondyte318 So by the end of it it's just that you didn't like turn base because first the gameplay can be quite challenging with the recent update and they adding more endgame content, while yes the story is not that good but as for now we they only started building their world (Xianzhou story is bad i know), for the powercreep it's not that bad cause so far every DPS limited character still retaining their place as a top dps (except yanqing) and also there no drawback of powercreep in single player game with no co-op lmao

@@jjjackal1110 I'm saying biased because you are putting a negative spin on turn based games in general. This is an opinion more so than a review... Or at least a sloppy mix of both.

sorry to say this but since this game has been out for months, i am not that interested watching a review if you havent even finished the main story

I suppose but its somewhat just come out on ps5. Plus my review is my thoughts on the game now and what players should expect as they start the game, not what they should expect if they finish everything

@negspirito 7 месяцев назад

As turn based systems go, Star Rail's bad - like really, really bad. The limits of its depth is matching weaknesses and managing your SP - the former of which the shallowest layer of the likes of Pokemon's combat. Meanwhile its lack of options often time force you into unfavorable situations, such as your DPS having to eat a massive counter because they can't do anything *but* attack the enemy Also, base Simulated Universe just isn't endgame. It's just more drawn out relic runs. Swarm Disaster barely counts, because while it is difficult even for a well built account, once you've claimed all rewards there's no reason to interact with it ever again

@jjjackal1110 7 месяцев назад

I'm not familiar with pokemon's turn based system but I'm sure you're right. Though the managing of different combat elements can def be annoying, I think it adds to the whole strategic aspect of star rails combat. Ig I both don't like it and sort do. 100% agree with the counter point though. And what would you define as endgame then? Does star rail even have endgame? I'm still fairly new so I can't asses if star rail does, the way you have

@Madcattus 7 месяцев назад

I agree that the turn based system of HSR is too simplistic compared to others. But I think its simplicity works well especially for gacha where every character is replaceable as time goes on. Its simplicity means grinding less for a character and more on collecting characters that has differing skills and creating strategy within that area. Characters have different passives that make them unique from one another even if they share the same path or element.
