From classic JRPG-style turn based action to the latest cartoon graphics, even the cross-platform. Honkai: Star Rail truly is a dream come true for the fans of the genre. Attractive characters are backing up the well-developed combat system which encourages deep-dive exploration. However, if you are not the fan of anime culture, the story maybe a bit hard to understand because of the excessive proper nouns and concepts.

Characters operating as power creeps in the majority of Penacony’s fights are not a good indicator, as HoYoverse needs to develop a way of continuing to challenge parties without simply boosting enemies’ Max HP. Overall, Version 2.0 is a fairly positive release for the game. While it does have some issues in combat and is occasionally lackluster in some aspects, it does offer a wide range of content and hits the nail on the head with its campaign, which sets the groundwork for another impressive year of stories told in Honkai: Star Rail.

Overall, combining the anniversary event’s fun and generosity, alongside the involving depth of the narrative and the superb quality of the new 5-star characters, Honkai: Star Rail 2.1 is possibly the best patch yet. Hopefully, that can be surpassed.
