Critic Reviews
- Not just great for a free-to-play game, Honkai: Star Rail is a genuinely fantastic RPG with slick combat and an engaging story loaded with content. The biggest caveat is, while generous, its gacha system may tempt some players into unwise purchases.
Oscar Taylor-Kent · Oct 11, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Honkai Star Rail offers a palpable universe full of possibilities on top of an accessible turn-based combat system that you can dig as deeply into as you want. There's a grind involved with any gacha game, and Honkai Star Rail is no exception. Strong writing, intriguing characters, and engrossing combat make Honkai Star Rail a must-play game that's also relatively friendly to free-to-play players.
Timothy Nunes · Oct 11, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Honkai: Star Rail is a welcomed surprise from Hoyoverse, and if updates are executed correctly, they might have another unique gacha game on their hands. The story is compelling, the gameplay is engaging and the game looks impressive on any mobile device. Dailies and side content will keep players involved until they release more content, but take your time and enjoy the game for what it is.
MICHAEL LICON · May 19, 2023 Reviewed on AndRead full review - Honkai: Star Rail provides players with an immersive and engaging experience. Its fast-paced action, stunning visuals, and powerful audio design is sure to captivate anyone who is in the market for a new title.
Arthur Racoma · May 16, 2023 Reviewed on iOS, AndRead full review - Honkai: Star Rail is a strategy-RPG title in the Honkai series that takes players on a cosmic adventure across the stars. Hop aboard the Astral Express and experience the galaxy's infinite wonders on this journey filled with adventure and thrill.
Jess Reyes · May 10, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Honkai Star Rail highlights the issues that Genshin Impact had despite how many issues have been addressed. The game's barebones RPG mechanics will definitely improve over time, but it still will take a lot to convince any enthusiast to pick this game over other turn-based RPG gacha games.
Ule Lopez · May 08, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Its character designs and story are charming, and the game and its systems are highly polished. Still, one thing’s for sure: If Star Rail wants to stay for the long run, it will need to do much more to stand out in the sea of turn-based RPGs available on both PC and mobile. And only time will tell if that will happen.
Angelus Victor · May 08, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Honkai: Star Rail upholds miHoYo's strong reputation for compelling RPGs. Even with the gacha systems, it offers a fun free-to-play experience with fun story-telling, interesting companions and sleek gameplay.
Ravi Sinha · May 08, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Honkai: Star Rail feels like the consummation of all the knowledge that Hoyoverse amassed so far after the two juggernauts that preceded it. With a good amount of content to tackle at launch and such a compelling story being told, all that remains to be seen is where the Astral Express will take us next.
Santi Leguiza · May 08, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Honkai: Star Rail is a high-quality strategy RPG by the developers of Genshin Impact. It plays like a mix of a traditional team-based strategy game and a 3D RPG with NPCs, side-quests, and dungeons.
