New York Game Awards and GG! Fest tickets (which includes the big, Supergiant Unplugged concert) are now available! Get them before they sell out!

By Isaac Espinosa My favorite video game character comes from Honkai: Star Rail, and while she wasn’t in its 3.6 version update, I adore her all the same.

While the two friends exist in the “real world,” the Horizon is the game the characters play passionately.
