Honkai Star Rail delights with a moreish Americana nightmare in Penacony update


With an incredible Americana dreamscape design and OST, Pencaony is the best Honkai Star Rail has ever been, only sligh…

Exploring Penacony in Honkai: Star Rail is like having the keys to Disneyland for a midnight soirée, but all the guests are sleazy film noir extras, and Mickey Mouse has taken the night off to let an anthropomorphic clock with the ability to manipulate people's emotions fill in. Watch on YouTube While Herta Space Station, Belobog, and the Xianzhou Luofu are all environmentally representative of their individual cultures, the huge Golden Hour area really aces what it might actually feel like to wander one of Penacony's surreal landscapes. It's nice to get a deeper understanding of the inner workings and history of the planet, and to catch glimpses of other mysteries surrounding Penacony's possibly fake origins, missing guests, and new characters Acheron, Aventurine, Sparkle, Firefly, and Black Swan's suspicious intentions.
