Games worth discovering

This is gonna be long because I'm gonna cover the basics/what I remember. Let me yap.
—When I first played this game, I didn't think much of it and merely play it to spend my free time, but now I'm hooked, too hooked in fact.... Literally one of the greatest game I've played in my life, I've been playing since around when Penacony came out and I must say this is probably one of the game that I have a long playtime with.
[Size] Concerned about the size of the game? Don't worry, you can delete past resources/mission to let go of some size if that eases your mind. Even if it's not that much it's still something and will make it more smaller than before.
[Gameplay] Gameplay wise, I'm not really a fan of turn based game (except for Pokemon and stuff) but hsr just feels different. You need to be strategic & wise with your turns & also character stats if you want the battle to play in your favor.
[Story/lore] Story and the lore are good but sometimes kind of confusing, as a lore player I try to continue the game & keep up with it because I'm very invested in the lore and there are a few mysteries I'd still like an answer to. And there are so many little details in the story that I sometimes even miss.
[Graphics/Scenery/Whatever] The graphics & environments/scenery/whatever it's called are amazing too, I'm playing on mobile (medium/high setting) so I can't compare it to the pc graphics. Speaking of environment/scenery, sometimes I can't resist to take photos of the scenery (lmao). As of now I'm rating hsr (version 3.3) I think Penacony (dreamscape) is one of if not the most gorgeous planet for now.
[Grinding?] I'm not entirely sure about this even though. Grinding mats aren't that hard, and for the relics & drop rate/whatever it's called it all really depends on your luck. I can't really comment much on this one.
[Characters] Character designs' are great & very detailed (as an artist; I have a love hate relationship with the details of the characters that I wish to draw), honestly I can stare at the characters for hours and probably won't get bored because I'm too busy searching for little details. Though, some character's design feels lacking/forced I don't know why, maybe that's just me. Building the chars arent hard but also aren't easy either, fortunately there's a build in in-game guide for the characters (collected from the player database) so sometimes you don't really need to open social media's for characters guides, well except for the team comps.
[Character : skills/ult/effect] The skills and ultimates are so gorgeous, sometimes it even makes my phone fps drop & sometimes even freeze, that's crazy (however I haven't countered any crash because of the skills/ultimate, so far. I can't say the same for other people)
[Characters : meta] as a slight meta player, the character powercrept is already crazy enough but the bosses HP inflation are so much more insane. Unrelated but Hoyo should probably rename the game to Honkai:support rail at this point.
[Music] The musics are heavenly & a blessing to my ears, especially wildfire and Robin's songs. Boss fight musics' are also epic, it really makes me feel like I'm the main character.
[Content] Content/event still aren't that many so if you caught up with the recent story & events then you'll probably get bored waiting for another version update. One thing I like about the events is that they're permanent, so you can still get reward from the older one. And the event are diverse too which makes them fun to play.
[Collectables] If you like collecting stuff like me then you can collect books & music player/music thingy that can be found in all over the planet, character, light cone, and a few things in du & su that I forgot. There's also merch? And does achievements counts as "collectables"? Speaking of achievements (achievements grants you stellar jades), there's so many achievements & even hidden achievements. There's probably an achievements for almost everything.
[Premium currency:stellar jades] F2P friendly btw. The premium currency/for gacha (stellar jades) aren't that hard to get too, there's so many sources where you can get it from to the point that sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in stellar jades (unfortunately I have gambling addiction so suddenly my stellar jades are all gone in a second = I can't pull for the characters that I want)
Overall: 9,5/10 very worth it. I'm having a blast, though like I said it gets boring once I've caught up with all the story & events
(Great game, dislike the fandom)
