About the story
The main story of Honkai: Star Rail follows the Trailblazer, an artificially created creature in whose bodies the Stellaron hunters have sealed a cosmic phenomenon called Stellaron (also known as “cancer of all worlds”). After the revival, the main character of the crew of the Astral Express is followed. Together, the crew travels from planet to planet as part of so-called trail blaze missions to continue the legacy of the Aeon (God) Akivili, pacify enemy factions and seal the destructive Stellarone.

Critic Reviews
Push Square
By Sammy BarkerHonkai: Star Rail, already a tremendous success, transfers to PS5 flawlessly – and is almost guaranteed to become one of the most-played games on the platform. In some ways its bite-sized nature means it's more at home on mobile, but its beautiful anime art style and stunning animations deserve to be experienced on a big screen. While its narrative is occasionally overwritten, and it demands players invest a lot to experience it to its fullest, this is a live service executed impeccable. And the truly exciting thing is that the best is yet to come.
GamesRadar+
By Oscar Taylor-KentNot just great for a free-to-play game, Honkai: Star Rail is a genuinely fantastic RPG with slick combat and an engaging story loaded with content. The biggest caveat is, while generous, its gacha system may tempt some players into unwise purchases.
PlayStation Universe
By Timothy NunesHonkai Star Rail offers a palpable universe full of possibilities on top of an accessible turn-based combat system that you can dig as deeply into as you want. There's a grind involved with any gacha game, and Honkai Star Rail is no exception. Strong writing, intriguing characters, and engrossing combat make Honkai Star Rail a must-play game that's also relatively friendly to free-to-play players.

By Giovanni PanzanoWith Honkai Star Rail, Hoyoverse has shown that his is not simple luck and that the success of his productions is due to the ability of the teams to create experiences open to all, able to engage thanks to well-characterized characters and a gameplay that keeps glued to the screen.
GameCrate
By Robin BeaHonkai Star Rail is already one of the most exciting RPGs in years even before its first major content update. While the grind may eventually chase you away, its excellent writing and original combat system make Honkai Star Rail well worth diving into, especially with no upfront cost.
