Gameplay: The game is ok, it can be fun, but it's not my style.

History: Until chapter 7 the storytelling is extremely precarious, only managing to find each other during chapter 9 onwards. Seeing Sirin return is cool and for all the drama related to the second impact has an impact on seeing her return, but what we have of her in the game is extremely shallow, even further on in the story, all the substance she has comes from the manga. , which is excellent by the way, this for me is a clear demerit of the game.

It took the series 9 chapters to figure out how to tell their story and know how to execute it, and to prove that they finally got it, they give us the wonderful scene of Himeko.

The scene is EPIC and manages to bring a good emotional drama, but imagine what the scene would be like if the work knew how to work from the beginning, giving space and focus to Himeko, oh my God. .. we would have a masterpiece here.

Honkai's biggest problem in terms of story, at least in the game, is that it doesn't have any substance, it's empty. If you really want to consume the story, if you want to know more about the characters, the world, the whole mythology, you should go for the manga. Honkai's biggest mistake is that you're forced to go into the manga so the in-game story isn't empty. And the mangas have several different order that you can follow and in the end each one can have a completely different experience depending on the way you read the mangas and interspersed with the game, it's a fucked up mess to read that even disheartening.
Of course you can just read the game like I was doing, but as I said it's empty and you feel like there's something missing, this for me is Honkai's biggest problem and mistake.

I approached Honkai Impact knowing that It had a pretty good story and nice music, but I would have never expected it to be THIS GOOD.

A lot of plot twists were unexpected and the character development is top tier, I would have never expected to see a similar quality from a gacha game but here we are.

I'm still sad that I can't play it as much as I did last year, but It remains one of my favorite games of all time and the best gacha game I've ever played.

GOING TO REITERATE!!!, THIS APPLIES JUST TO PART ONE
The graphic for part 1 I don't like so I don't want it on my favorite games list so using this one instead. My review to part 1 is under that entry
Love everything prior to some bits of the ending, not going to change rating of it atm though
The Ending just hasnt made me love the series as much as I used to
Still love the series as a whole and the characters dearly, the ending just doesn't give me that sense of feeling as I once did and the part 2 announcement didnt do much for it either as I hate the way theyre going with it

EVERYONE INFECTED AND WENT INSANE WTH
also I got motion sick every 2 seconds
the UI looks like cupboard
for me its a no no

but still better than genshin

Very fun competitive PvE game. Flashy, satisfying combat. Canon lesbians. Exceptionally high quality FMV's with equally exceptional vocal tracks. Seiyuu performance is emotional and affectual. Lore runs deep and story is standout for a large portion of the game, though it becomes fairly incomprehensible in the later chapters as it becomes choked with light novel-isms and incoherent dialogue. Suffers from rapidly expanding meta (though catching up to a competitive level is fair to new players and relatively quick). Paid resources are unnecessarily expensive for gacha demands.
