Star Rail is a great turn-based game that's story-rich (compared to other Gachas atleast...) and features dense and detailed environments. If you just play through it like a normal human being you will love it, if you are a weirdo who will play it religiously every day you will run out of content and complain on Twitter. For a Gacha game, it's not that bad with the GAMBLING FOR ALL AGES that it promoted, but then again I think the game would be a lot better if it didn't feature GAMBLING FOR ALL AGES. Outside of that the turn-based combat of Star Rail is actually fucking peak. How stats decide turn order, how ults can butt into that turn order, the team building aspect (minus the horrible GAMBLING FOR ALL AGES that's required to recruit team members), the ability to speed up the combat, the weakness breaks and their many effects on the enemies. I wish an actual story-driven singleplayer game with similar gameplay and more conventional leveling was made, I would play the hell out of that.
