The amount of storage they take is similar, but as a mobile user who plays Genshin and Honkai, Honkai Impact takes more space from me. But it honestly depends on what you've been doing in-game. The reason why Honkai takes more is because I prioritize it. I haven't played Genshin in weeks so I've been missing updates. But in PC, I can guarantee Genshin takes more.

Something I don’t see anyone mentioning are the events. Gameplay wise: Genshin is very limited due to its forced adherence to the perspective of the traveller. Everything you do in Genshin is in the third person and is unable to be changed. In Honkai, they’re free to make as diverse a game mode they want (as long as the character are the same as in-game). Last update we had a game mode close to PvZ and now we have fall guys. Events story wise: reiterating my statement from earlier, Genshin is forced to stay stuck to the traveller’s storyline. No event can come back the same way after each release. Plus crucial story plots for certain characters motivations are locked to these specific events. Honkai, on the other hand, can use any character it wants to make a story because of the multiverse. Plus there is a literal completely separate storyline spanning several events that are re-running with their only changes being rewards. I hope you like my endless rambling essay comparing two games made by the same company. ~ sincerely a traveller and a captain.

[@frecasfam]

On the downside tho, as a honkai player reading through dialogue and texts just feels so much more like a chore, considering that they don't rely on animation character speaking and mostly the players imagination (like reading a novel sorta). While genshin dialogue just feels more lively bc we got to see the actual characters talking real time and interacting with one another (idk it's hard to describe).

Honkai on the other hand got the most expensive pulls but the good part is you only need 100 pulls for the Character banner to get guarantee and no 50/50 while the stigmata and weapon banner is quite ok) Powerscaling: Honkai ( Honkai Impact powerscaling is more powerful than Genshin. A single Herrscher might solo Teyvat) Gears and Weapon: Honkai ( Farmable Weapons and Stigmata with Gacha that always guarantee to get a 4 star Weapon or stigmata in every 10 pulls meanwhile in Genshin you will have to Face RNGesus itself to get a better artifacts and Weapon) Character Designs: Honkai (better Character designs overall unlike Genshin who have to follow a strict CCP Law) Combat System: Genshin ( Because of the Elemental reactions and didn't base on meta unless you play in abyss) Reading Materials/ Manga: Honkai (Genshin only has 1 manga while Honkai got more) Anime adaptation: Genshin (the First Hoyoverse Game to receive an anime) Music/Concert: Honkai ( Far more better music and also Honkai Dream Euphony is one of the best Hoyoverse Concert i ever heard) Community: Honkai (Chill Community unlike Genshin who become more toxic over time like Giving Death Threats to the VA and always think that they are always right) This is my opinion for a lvl 88 captain with 4 years of gaming experience and a AR 60 Traveler with 2 years of experience..

Depends on the preference of the player. If one prefers a limited cluster of characters with the plot that focuses on the development of said characters and a very detailed development of secondary characters too, more recurrence of said characters, a dynamic combat and doesn’t mind the lack of an open world, then honkai is the game for you. If one prefers more a world building focused storyline, a wider number of characters to see and get, a less intrusive protagonist, a storyline partly explained and partly hinted by scattered hints (books, artifacts, items, character lines), a wider, amazingly beautiful world design, more grind (artifacts), a less dynamic and varied combat play but with more elemental reactions, then Genshin is better for you. The things that one might consider downsides of a game, might be the point that makes another like that game, and viceversa.

When it comes to the story I think its mainly just your preference. The way I see it, Genshin's story is more world based and its lore focuses more on the world building than the actual characters. But you can learn more about the characters it's just that you'll have to dig into side stuff and not just the main story. As for Honkai Impact, its story is more character driven as even the side characters have their moments to shine. So it really just depends on what kind of stories you prefer and this is also just my take on how their stories are like.

I think Honkai is a bit better when it comes to drop rates Like the one for a 5* character in genshin is 0.6% (0.3% for guarantee) Wheras honkai it's 1.2% I think And for artifacts/Stigmata, stigmata do the same thing and the only possible bad thing is affixes like PSY resistance. (Which are rerollable without having to get another one) Wheras in genshin, you have to do tons and tons of rerolling for a decent artifact even with a 50/50 chance of being on set. Ik my pfp makes me look biased, I started in genshin and then went on to Honkai because of burn out

[@FreakyOverhaul]

I find it weird finding people opposite of me, I started genshin first and have played it since the start and afterwards decided to play honkai but got burn out and bored after playing it for like 5 days. The only reason why I continue to play honkai is because of elysia

[@anameig9332]

It's 1.5% actually and it statistically lowers the chance when you approach closer to pity Stigmata and weapon banners are a real pain tho most of the time I got dupe off rates Personally hi3 expansion supply is GG ez I usually got character card at 75-98 pity but focused is real suffering though like I mentioned Genshin gacha is shit I only get early twice, and lost 9 50/50s out of 10. All of that still can't get jean and tighnari. Then there's some players who always wins 50/50 Weapon banner idk but I did got homa from it I'm happy. They didn't need set 3/3 for pity though just 2 is enough of a scam

from my experience, honkai's gacha system is more forgiving than genshin's because 50/50 doesnt exist. it's just that the ceiling for hard pity is raised (to 100 instead of genshin's 90, which is fair game considering how generous mihoyo is with crystals)

In my opinion, Genshin's story is AMAZING. I've never played Honkai so I'm not saying it's better, cause I wouldn't know, but I wouldn't call it "boring". The amount of detail they put in to the history of EVERYTHING in the game is just astounding. The only issue is that the main "goal" is meant to be finding your twin, but it is hardly mentioned in the story. The story is still AMAZING though! (Please no 3.2 archon quest spoilers)

[@neelankoopman3718]

You might be confusing lore with the story, Genshin's lore is really good but it's story is nothing to write home about, it has good beats but then goes on a long slog. If you enjoy Genshin's story I really recommend you try honkai's out, I highly recommend it.

That’s because that’s part of the purpose of the games. Genshin is literally an open world, so they have to build up the world and allow you to explore while also giving lore on what happened in the past, lore about the current time, ect, while honkai is NOT an open world, so they don’t need to do any world building. Plus, it would probably be confusing since there isn’t necessarily just a set place/world in honkai. They’re constantly moving around, and a lot of characters have different stories in different settings. In conclusion, I don’t think you can compare the two games based on world building lol, sorry for the rant

[@hawwwkx]
