Honkai Impact 3rd, which wa𒁏s Hoyoverse's big action RPG before Genshin Impact ate all the money in the universe, is gearing up for a relaunch of soꦅrts with its Part 2 update, a massive patch bringing a whole new storyline. It's coming to PC and mobile this Thursday, February 29, and I can already tell I'll end up trying this Hoyo game too, especially now that it's on Steam (with 72% positive reviews, if you're curious).
Genshin Impact is still a gaming mainstay for me, and while I wasn't keen on the Zenless Zone Zero beta, I did thoroughly enjoy Hoyoverse's most recent release, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Honkai Star Rail. Honkai Impact 3rd is something I've only ever known by reputation, so Part 2 presents an appealing jumping-on poi꧂nt.
Not knowing a thing about what happened in Honkai Impact 3rd Part 1 and Part 1.5, I'm going to sum it all up as: a lot of stuff went down and there were some really cool impact frames. Part 2 takes us to a metropolis on Mars where we'll follow a new gang of characters led by🅷 three girls: Senadina, Helia, and Coralie. The panda-colored girl fed up with it all is Coralie, and my immediate favorite. 🧸;
The game's previous protagonis🃏t, Kiana, seems to have been sidelined, and this dramatic change, as well as some other updates in Part 2, has some long-time Honkai Im🐻pact 3rd fans feeling a little worried. But again, I don't know what's going on here, so to Mars we go.
Another big draw with Part 2 is how it revitalizes an already fast-paced combat system. Hoyo says it's improved enemy ඣAI and focused on aerial attacks this time around, and the attack animations for the new characters look slick. I also like what I've seen of the city and art style so far, and Hoyoverse soundtracks pretty much never miss, so Part 2 is sure to get at least a tentative trial from me. I'm already a little scared of its many currencies, but I'll almost never say no to a free action RPG.
