As the landing team embarked on their journey to the enigmatic and uncharted world of Amphoreus, it seemed like mostly smooth sailing for the Trailblazer.
However, as the ship crashed to the ground, it became evident that Hoyoverse was determined to start Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 off with a bang.
Will Amphoreus and Paean of Era Nova live up to the bar that Penacony has set? Honkai: Star Rail has always been a madcap adventure that takes players to unique abstract locales deep with intriguing lore and heartfelt character interactions.
This time around, the 3.0 update embarks on a journey that feels distinctly derivative of Greek mythology. While Hoyoverse's efforts mark one of their most ambitious leaps yet, with the entire two-part story-arc will be the largest story the team has put out to date, it's certainly feels like a love letter to players that have been clamoring for world building with a focus on historical lore.
Welcome to Amphoreus: Praise Be Leaving Penacony behind has been bittersweet for me, as it was by far my favorite planet so far.
