“It’s very easy to have a mediocre launch day because of connectivity issues and the sheer size of new players but they made the first day incredibly enjoyable and without any noticeable problems,” they concluded.

Hundreds of commenters also expressed the same, with many confirming they “haven’t run into one issue yet.”

Others highlighted that they “had no issue, even for the hundreds of thousands accounts made, the servers were really well,” further praising the strength of the servers which were quickly filled with excited players.

One of the elements highlighted repeatedly was the framerate on low-end tech. “The game is so well optimized my 15yo pc can run it on 60fps,” one player said. “Surprised to see how well the game performed on my lower-end laptop,” they continued. “It’s much better compared to Genshin Impact on low graphic settings.”

However, Honkai’s launch wasn’t totally without issue. “A few of my friends are stuck on the login screen and unable to proceed despite restarting the app,” one player said.
