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

A lot of issues with the game imo, the first 6 months are either completely barren or every plot event just feels completely rushed and/or pointless. Everyday feels repetitive and boring, important/interesting social links are locked behind social skills which add to the slow start. Tartarus is insanely boring and a job to get thru, not fun. The last 3 months is a step up but not saying much, characters still felt rushed or didnt get the time they needed to become good. The main cast just doesnt feel developed and together bar a couple like Aigis and maybe one other

Really disappointing so far, cant get myself to care much about it. Turn Based is about as basic as it gets without any gimmicks at all to make it better, storytelling is as mediocre as it is in Genshin which makes everything from main story to side quests such a slog to get thru and not make me interested at all. The genshin systems getting inputted into the game do not make me more wanting to play either, just feels like its Genshin turn based with the Honkai name painted over

Though I still don't particularly think the game has aged the best, over time its grown on me a little bit, more so the story. The gameplay is still a bit jarring at times but isn't the worse. But the characters and the plot (though I wish there was more like we got with the manga) do push up this score for me. Naoya and Maki are the duo that I do feel a connection to in particular
1998
Game definitely beat expectations, had way more fun w the gameplay than I thought I was going to and story was great as expected. Only gripe is disc 2, while great in story, obviously with the budget issues, kinda flows weird, like a VN but still a game and having cutscenes back to back to back to back can be tiring at times so lost focus a few times during, on top of there maybe being a few pacing issues, but otherwise disc 2 was still good
