Honkies star rail is a very rewarding and visually appealing game. The graphics are good, and I find the new story content entertaining as well as the very rewarding events with it. Character designs are also unique in itself as well as their backstories. This game also provides a skip button that's useful in long quests as well as a summary for what you missed. Though the game is very storage consuming, I had to delete multiple apps just to download the latest update. Annoying from time to time.

The storyline is amazing, and the characters have incredibly deep lore, especially around **Amphoreus**. Playing with units like **Phainon, Castor ice, and Acheson** is so satisfying! Performance-wise, the game used to heat up a lot on my old device. After upgrading to a new device, the heating is completely gone—I just deal with some minor frame rate drops now and then. Overall, a solid **9/10**!

I see what you've done to Gilgamesh our king through beta test and what a joke😂. I did not expect this from you, at least respect the character and not making him this bad. Did you forget how fast saber fell off when released? Meta for one patch and fell off next, the same will happen with gil and saber if you don't reduce the joint attack number to 6 and bring back Gilgamesh's action advance. Seriously this could've been a great moment to get a lot of money because it attracted a lot of fate fan.
