This game is actually phenomenal. Combining roguelike/lite elements with Pokemon is so genius. I haven't played anything Pokemon related in like years but this was so addicting that it made me realize that I technically don't hate Pokemon just how painfully easily it was. In the past 8 or 9 days, I've only been playing this game and it was very tough for me since I forgot everything about weaknesses, resistances and all that but damn was it fun learning it all over again. I haven't even touched endless mode, I might be here for several more days. And the music is fantastic, I wish they put the names of the OST on the wiki. But yeah this was an incredible roguelike/lite, something I definitely don't say often.

Being caught up on this gacha feels weird to me, not because of the game is bad or anything neither that i have with issues with the story, as matter of fact i love Penacony story and the how the climax is looking to be my favorite in the next patch.

It's funny though, i started this game one month ago for shits and giggles in the anniversary but for me i was quite suprised how much content it had for a beginner and how it was completely overwhelming at first but going back at it, i never expected to get hooked as much i did and how having the reputation of ''It's another mihoyo game'' and that was how my mutuals and especially me viewed the game itself at first.

Going through at first i always had my expectations lowered as usual but i'm still suprised how generous and how much stuff the game gives you just by playing it, of course there's issues that disapears when you get mid game which being locking the relics on story even though you have the level required to grind it but they still lock you regardless, the gap in difficulty whenever you increase the eidrolons levels making the boss tanky and being more painful to get through which it would be fine if the stamina was good enough to grind the relics with the right SUBSTATS for the characters that i need for and how i can randomly start a patch from 1.6 while i just finished Luofu (1.2)...

With that aside, Star Rail story was still a ride to get into and i'm very excited for Penacony's climax
