(Fun fact: Nier characters 2B, 9S, and A2 are actually in the game thanks to a crossover event.) It's earned solid ratings on app stores, so it'll be interesting to see how it fares with the PC crowd.Ī Valorant team had to forfeit an official match because one member was "too busy" playing Honkai Star Rail. Punishing Gray Raven has understandably drawn comparisons to similar mobile games like Honkai Impact 3rd, a predecessor of sorts to the new turn-based hit Honkai Star Rail, as well as mainstream action icons like Devil May Cry and Nier. I'm especially fond of the Lamia theme, which you can hear in another PGR showcase from famous GIF maker SunhiLegend. That said, it's almost a disservice to PGR's excellent, trance-filled soundtrack to set these fights to anything else. All I know is that I'll try anything with a perfect-dodge and parry, these bosses have 100 health bars, this katana-wielding girl can summon a motorcycle, and Devil May Cry 5's heavily-memed track Bury The Light is a perfect fit.


I'll be honest, I don't fully understand what's happening on-screen here.

This is also one of those games where it's better to just see it in action, so let me point you to these boss fight highlights from YouTuber Blanc.
