Honkai: Star Rail is one of the most popular open-world RPG games where you play as the Trailblazer who joins the Astral Express to quell the Stellaron crisis. Starting from Herta Space Station, you'll journey through multiple planets and immerse yourself in a unique experience for each planet you set foot on.
It's an anime-styled game where you'll meet tons of beautifully-designed characters and play as them if you're lucky enough. Apart from the main story, you'll also have endgame combat-type mechanics that give you a reason to keep playing even if you're already done with the main content.
