miHoYo, otherwise known as HoYoverse, made their name in a big way with the release of Genshin Impact in 2020. Part open-world RPG, part gatcha, part game-as-a-service - taken together as a whole, it became a worldwide hit that is still going strong today. But why have just one game when you can have more? Since I missed out on the bus and didn't feel like jumping in halfway, I thought I would give Honkai: Star Rail a try - it uses the same model but in a more sci-fi setting. The game (like Genshin) is free-to-play and has plenty of content to keep you going. But, of course, their money comes from hoping you drop it on premium currency for limited-time (and stronger) characters, as well as pumping yourself up with daily, weekly and monthly boosts.
