Playing HONKAI STAR RAIL for the First Time as a Genshin Impact Player

Hey guys!

I finally tried Honkai Star Rail! I’d only heard whispers about it until now, but curiosity got the better of me. In this video, I take my very first steps into the game: exploring the gameplay (like the fighting system - I didn't know it was turn-based), having a first look at the story, and checked out some of the characters. Naturally, I draw a bunch of comparisons to Genshin because first of all, both are from Mihoyo, and secondly Genshin is my comfort zone. Hope you enjoy tagging along on this chill little space adventure!

Just a bit more about me, if you're curious: I'm Cathy, I’m currently doing my Master’s at university and run this channel as a hobby. Everything you see is human made (no AI here!) and a one person project. I love making people laugh, editing videos, and most importantly, talking about dumb stuff that makes life a little lighter. I hope you can view this channel and my videos as a bit of a safe haven from the stresses of your daily life, just like it is for me. Because this is a lot of work, I thrive to see you guys' reactions to my content, so feel free to write me a comment, subscribe, like, share; whatever floats your boat. Your reactions mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride!

As always, here are some assets I used in this video. Thanks to the lovely people who provide them free to use - from one creative mind to the other:

The music tracks you heard are called 'Drum or Bass' by Ryan Stasik and 'Ran During Time' by Freedom Trail Studio. They can be found in the Youtube Audio Library.

Thanks again and have a nice rest of your day!
