For the battle system, I don't know why they choose the break system similar to Exos Heroes. Exos themselves have to trim that system down because it was a pain to deal with, why did hyv think it was a good idea to adopt it?
The open world doesn't add much to the gameplay, only there for fun, would be a pain if I wanted to play it during work. The story so far is decent, better than most stories in GI. The jokes are either you like it or you don't, it is subjective so no comment on this.
TLDR: The gacha system is not as bad as other make it out to be. The rate is low, yes. But it is not the worst if you ever play old gacha turn base game before. Low rate but only need one copy is better than high rate but you need multiple copy in order to get through a story. And please don't compare this game to Project Sekai or Idol games, they are not the same genre

3.25Okay here's my first impression. Warping system is similar to Genshin's wishing mechanics, as they both use 1600 of their premium currencies to initiate a 10x pull, but since this is a turn-based game, I found it weird. You see, most turn based games are accessible with their characters but HSR is the same gacha hell as in Genshin, with domains, a carbon copy of resin system, and how characters 'ascend'. Though, their turn based combat is unique but the rest are just quite uninventive, such as the relics basically another artifs system the same as genshin's. Then, we have craft esse- I mean light cones. Self explanatory... And the restriction to use light cones on specific assigned paths on characters, it's a very ass move, I don't see them as weapons at all like genshin, it doesn't have a single aspect for it to be restricted to specific paths. Now, the good points, they nailed it with the graphics yet again, as well the sfx and vfx. I can't quite judge the story yet since I am just starting out but I could see it has a very familiar character set up, with Dan Heng being the Bronya, March 7th being the Kiana and the MC as whatever but it feels very familiar. I did have high hopes for this game but it just went down for me, don't get me wrong, with all so many criticism, I would still play it to see how the story plays out mainly. Overall score for me right now: 6/10
