The latest entry in Hoyoverse's lineup of games. If you've played Genshin Impact you'll feel right at home with HSR as a lot of the UI elements and overall systems are very similar if not direct copies from Genshin. The biggest difference is this has a turn-based battling system and instanced overworld exploration, meaning you have maps kind of like dungeons split into different areas. If you're into the Persona series of RPGs I think you'll enjoy HSR, and even if you've never played a turn-based RPG this game is a good introduction to the genre. The character designs, visuals and music are top notch, and the writing in HSR are full of references and Easter eggs that are very enjoyable to read, with a healthy dose of sarcasm and wit. I can't wait to see what kind of future updates and possible events we're going to get with this game in the coming months. Bronya/Seele OTP!

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
