BOTH GAMES ARE EXTREMELY GOOD. 0:00- Walkthrough 0:18 - Combat 1:00 - Boss Fight (Chapter 1- not actual boss) 1:56 - Cutscene 2:28 - Combat 2 ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ ║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣ ╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣ ╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝

I like both tbh but PGR is more of my style, they just lack the budget mihoyo has to create fancy cutscenes and their story isn’t as quite clear or fleshed out as honkai. But who knows maybe with global we will see major changes to that and also one comparison that isn’t in the video is f2p friendly. That definitely goes to PGR and I respect them for being on the friendlier side

I'm already addicted to genshin I'll give another non mihoyo gacha game a chance and so far PGR is awesome

as a fan of Honkai what i dont like about PGR is.....NOTHING!!! Cant wait to play PGR

PGR , I can't even blink my eyes to avoid enemy attack Good combat

Jesus Christ why are the PGR dudes in the comments so unnecessarily toxic and aggressive like calm down lmfao

As for me, since Honkai wad released a long time ago before PGR, many things make it better than something that just got released later on, I would say for a fact that PGR's gameplay is quite smooth and Honkai is on the more flashy style, this is my opinion for now because there still time for PGR to grow and Honkai is no different, both games are good in their own way

The ping skill system makes PGR way more action packed

I like the combat system in PGR better than Honkai 3Rd

both comparisons are only using basic free character, not characters from gacha or other sources where there's going to be more flashy and faster combat, though I like PGR due to character design and combat effect suit my taste

Both games are great on their own. For new players, PGR is more forgiving and unlike other gacha games of the same title, much more skill-expressive(Yes I,ve been clearing shit in extremely dangerous difficulty and you can get through as long as you know how to play properly). Honkai has better story because that is bound to happen for a game that's been running since 2016 on CN before releasing globally in 2018. But PGR is better for those with not as much storage on mobile and it is also good if you care about your organs.

Honkai - story PGR - combat system. Also we the Captain didn't exist in Honkai (only in story events) whereas we sre canon in Pgr

I'd rather play pgr because Honkai impact uses so much storage on my phone plus pgr has a more easier combat system and it's f2p friendly There is a lot of ways to get so much currency in Pgr and every single day in Pgr it will keep providing you with so many quests filled with Currency you need for doing a Gacha and you can level up fast in the game. And there are more male characters.

I wanna play Punishing Gray Raven but idk if my potato phone can handle it :(

I play both. I love both of these games. Still playing honkai impact 3 no matter what lol

Having played both, I'd would say Honkai overall have better story depth/character development, while PGR have smoother execution early on. Let's consider the "first phase" of both storylines: For PGR, events leading up to "Final Fight" For Honkai, events leading up to "Final Lesson" WARNING: INCOMING WALL OF TEXT I won't be spoiling the story, anyone who wants to know more should either play the games or watch clips on it personally. 1. PGR PGR starts off with a bleek world view and smoothly tells the dark reality humanities live in. The overall tone of the story starts gray and gets darker, with character dialogues often having this realist/sarcastic undertone. A significant theme with characters' dialogue is one's position in their environment and their desires. The game also occasionally allow players to project themselves into the story with witty/goofy/serious options as the commandant, or be in the shoes of the villain in the hidden chapters. This consistency makes it easy for players to get into the atmosphere the game was aiming for. Key moments with Lucia hits off as the peaks of the pressing storyline and most of the character development is experienced through her. 2. Honkai Honkai on the other hand, has a very light-hearted beginning. From chapter 1 to 4, the events in the game play out no different from a typical shonen anime, and the captain in the Honkai verse doesn't really participate in the story, so during this time the game mostly feel like a power fantasy about school girls (Yes, the highschool/training arc is there), offering only bits of hint to a deeper story at times. The initial chapters set the tone for characters to center around hope and friendship, with dialogues expressing the characters' bond with each other, and can seem quite childish at times. It is starting from chapter 5 that players were hit with the events prior to the game, and a darker shift in tone for the story, introducing depth of characters and lore outside of players' expectations. This offers a more jarring experience than PGR, however also allows key emotional events to hit even harder, as characters' emotions/development is greatly emphasized through the gap. 3. Conclusion: In regards to story's depth and tone, I'm more fascinated by Honkai's. The storylines of both story have an enormous amount of backstory, expanding the scope of events further and further. However, while PGR answers most of the plot devices early on, Honkai bundle the questions up and answer them in batches, allowing the space for more to be connected to the story. The same can be said for character development. I was quite sad with the reveals and the disturbing descriptions/dialogues in PGR, but it never seems to hit off the peak for me. Honkai made me cried twice. And for someone who didn't cry when he hit his lowest point in life, I would say that is something note-worthy. If I have to give a description (my opinion, please don't be mad), PGR is like Nier:Automata without the escalation of weird robot/alien shenanigans, while Honkai is Madoka Magica with a clearer enemy (and a VERY deep if you are willing to consume all the visual novels and mangas).

As a grown man, Honkai is the only game made me cried 5 times... If u played Genshin and liked it, you can trust the quality of the Honkai. When you reach chapter 7, u cannot quit the game...

I see some people comparing honkai and pgr combat systems is dumb Honkai is more combo combination like DMC ( attack button has different way of pressing it to make different combo some characters has combination of A and B button to make combo) PGR is more skill button base like old RPG game (1 auto combo the rest is activated skill button the special is no cool down) This makes the both game difficult in their own way so there no reason too compared

*Note: HI3 is from 2016 while PGR is 2019

Hello, I dont speak English very well but I like both games really! I think they both have an amazing storyline and amazing characters, but PGR is nice since it has male characters. Although I still will play Honkai Impact since I got attracted to the characters way to much! I hope I do the same with the PGR characters so I also get depression!

I'm playing both. But yeah Honkai is superior thanks to how much has to offer after so many years after it's release (just like wine it gets better the older it is) PGR it's still a child it has room to grow

Punishing grey raven combat system seems fair to me .....

After two years of Honkai Impact, I finally caved in and thought to give PGR a fair chance, reaching the end game before I make any judgements. I thought Honkai would win in the end... but PGR just won me over. The PC client working on Linux is an added bonus. Better combat system, better gacha system, better optimization, subtler power creep, and in future patches, better graphics by a huge margin. Guess it's goodbye to Elysia.

Played both, if you have draining storage and still want to play honkai or something alike it then I recommend pgr because it has lower storage, atleast for jp which i play in. Also for the cutscene for pgr, you can look up them, i think they have cutscene in game although, i usually keep the story cause i don’t understand

The cutscenes from honkai aren’t that much special.. Clearly OP hasn’t seen much of Honkai yet…

Why not both xD Both have their strengths when it comes to gameplay.

Obviously everyone has different opinions. In my case I stayed with Punishing: Gray

Keep in mind these are very early game stuff, can't say it sums the overall experience

Since Honkai got released first, would it not make sense that their starter characters are not as good since there isnt any standpoint games for them? Also, wouldnt Honkai obviously be more storage consuming due to the animations and effects they had? Just curious, not wanting to throw hate on PGR but the amount of reasons I see are just these kinds.

I tested both and I think pgr gameplay is more smoother + the sound effects are crunchy. But I can't deny that honkai story is more interesting especially with CGs and voices (as expected of Hoyoverse). Still, I think the most important aspect is the character. Having both male and female playable characters feels more natural. The market target of Honkai are male audiences, so be it, unless Honkai starts to consider female audiences by adding male playable characters (other than MC in APHO), I will be staying in PGR.

PGR deserves much more love 🤗

While it's true than honkai story is more fleshed out let's not forget that it had more time and a big developer behind it, so it's commendable that PGR surpassed them combat wise having a fraction of hi3 budget's. That said I like them both

GI players when the legend of neverland released:WTF THEY COPIED GENSHIN IMPACT!!!!!LETS SUE THEM!!!! HI3 players to PGR:omg can't wait to play it hehe

Effects:Honkai Animations:PGR Cutscenes/Cinematics:Honkai Story:Honkai Sound Designs:PGR Combat/Gameplay:PGR Graphics/Maps:PGR OST/MUSIC:Honkai Character Design:Honkai F2P friendly(gacha,currency and how f2p fit in the game):PGR Device friendly:PGR

This is from a Genshin Impact player I tried both Honkai and PGR and I like PGR more as it's gameplay is much more fun and dynamic than what I expected from a Honkai clone. The match 3 system when correctly used makes PGR so fun as each character has unique 3 pings combos that changes their playstyles drastically making each character unique. The game is better balanced as well as all characters are viable even the starting 3 chars has top tier units in their respective role like Liv B for Physical support and Nanami B for Physical tank and they can be upgraded to reach S rank as well if you get dupes from rolls or bought from shop and you can also grind their missions to get shards to upgrade them. I also like PGR aesthetic more as I like the Arknight style for sci Fi games rather than Honkais bright and colorful style even when a literal apocalypse is on going. This is ofcourse just my opinion.

I played both but prefer Honkai and one of the biggest reasons is because in PGR the main aspect is the gameplay the story and cutscenes not much . There is without a doubt a big differance between the graphics as well and the characters -In PGR you have male characters as well which is a good point but I don't think there is anything in the game that has really caught my interest for now I will continue to play it and will see

Going back here and I'd say PGR is getting better and better. Damn!! Especially the next coming events and the new characters (compositor) they're cool AF. I'm not hating honkai but I've honestly install and uninstall it like 4-5 times now but I really don't enjoy the game like how I enjoy PGR and I usually don't like gacha games but when I heard about PGR, watched videos and stories about it then finally able to play it. Damn it blows my mind. I really love PGR.

Lucia vs Qu Pavo combat is INCREDIBLE plus the combat soundtrack is just *chef's kiss🤌 Pgr devs went hard on that chapter sheesh

I like PGR, but I chose to keep playing Honkai because Mihoyo provided good service. try to reach more players There are both PC and Smartphone versions, while the other game only has a Smartphone version.

When you want Honkai Impact so bad, but don't have enough storage, I recommend getting PGR. It only costs 2GB of storage either than Honkai which is 5-6GB

I think imma stick with honkai, BUT, if I wasn’t already so invested in honkais story and game (boutta break through to 81 soon!) i would give PGR a shot. The combat looks sooooo goood

Story: Honkai Cutscenes: Honkai Gameplay: PGR F2P friendly: PGR OST and music: Both Waifus: Both

PGR= fast hand HI3= slow hand

People are constantly comparing these games, and as someone who hasn't played Honkai I'm confused why some people are claiming that PGR is a Honkai clone, when combat is completely different, the orb system in PGR is genius imo. As for dodge/perfect doge mechanics, they exist in any similar game.

Honkai Impact have more Gameplay than you see in the Video and have more Cutscenes an Short Videos. This Video is not good.

me with Genshin and Honkai on my phone: I love the smell of napalm in the morning but seriously, having 3 gacha games at the same time could kill me mentally but I guess I will give it a try once it hit SEA

I think both games are really addictive

Basically 2016v vs 2019 PGR is an innovative version of honkai

The one that has more playable male characters is the one im going to play

I get people say honkai has much better story...... OH YOU DONT KNOW THE LAST FIGHT OF LUCIA- ok imma stop there

I see a lot of people comparing the game’s storyline, etc, but I’m gonna compare the graphics, IMO, PGR has an sharper, more realistic graphic than Honkai, while Honkai.. there is.. an lighter theme to the art style. Of course both look amazing in their own right, I don’t belittle neither. However past the point of graphic, Honkai for some reason, gives me something that PGR lacks, It’s the combat system, I don’t know how to explain it, but PGR, it doesn’t feel like I’m hitting anything at all, maybe it’s because their effects are so fast and small, and so is their sound, but I could never get the satisfaction of combat that I got in Honkai. So far for me, Honkai > PGR,

PGR has the best combat of any gacha game right now, let's see if that changes with Wuthering Waves

The thing that puts me off with PGR is just how much screen shake there is in the combat. You give an enemy a love tap, the screen starts trying to shake its way out of your phone. I get trying to make combat feel like it has more weight, but there's a point at which it gets ridiculous. Also, love how for a "boss battle" you showed a random mech for Honkai. Not even a boss mech, just a normal, every day mech. That's not a boss, it's just a scaled up normal mob for the end of a stage. Could've at least showed Ganesha, that one comes up nice and early. Basic bitch boss but at least it's an actual boss.

I play both games and for me I like PGR more because of it style(it's more like cyberpunk style which I love while honkai is more like futuristic style)also the weapon designs are better in PGR

PGR song is better than Honkai.. try listening to Narwhal - Haloweak or Hikari - GhostFinal

Okay so obviously I prefer PGR, but yeah I agree that it STARTS slow/lacking cutscenes. It's just the beginning. Starting at Fallen Star (chapter 9) the story starts getting better, and it will have cool as fuck mini game combats (ch9 has a bullet hell thingy, ch10 has that motor cycle ride battle) and then iirc, the cutscenes that are voiced starts at chapter 12. And then the next chapter is probably the legit beginning of PGR's story depth. Onwards, it will just get better and better and better. You can say it goes from 0 to 100.

I love how pgr actually depend on your skills and not only the characters + Pgr look smother

As a Honkai player I'm gonna be honest that the combat system on Pgr is so good and realistic, but if your looking for a video game with a amazing storyline go play Honkai since Honkai Impact 3rd is the only game that will make you cry to a Villan's death.

Never play honkai before but for me the cutscenes are better than pgr. Wish pgr will improve it.

Para el que lea esto,NO se dejen guiar por solo el PRINCIPIO de ambos juegos busquen contenido más avanzado de ambos y recién comparen. ESTO ES SOLO EL TUTORIAL

Actually. honkai impact 3 gameplay, cut scene and boss fight in 2017 VS PGR Why u don't pick up honkai gameplay and cutscene in 2021?

I like it both although I'm a HI3 player but i want to try PGR too. BTW: This is what i like 2:25

Hmm, I guess I'll play both of them. And also, 2:23 my favourite scenes on Honkai when I first play it.

Bruh, that's not fair for HI3, show the competitive side

Just started PGR today so far its really good and challenging!

I'm always into Blue Archive (even though there's no global version) and wondering what next gacha should I play, I've watched this video for me to help myself on choosing which game should I play... Punishing Gray Raven is more suitable for me, but that's because of PGR's more realistic characters and animations. Blue Archive is cute enough for me to not play Honkai Impact 3 so Punishing Gray Raven is the best choice for me... Thanks for this review ❤

Di From Combat pace PGR has more speed in combat than Honkai, but their system little bit complicated, and honkai is more simple. And about team harmony, in Honkai deployed character are the damage dealer, and support has enter the stage to buff the damage dealer or nerf the enemy, in other hand PGR support system didn't require support character to be in the stage, in honkai they has same mechanic like that depend on the chatacter, but PGR its the whole system, About chatacter type, PGR has different "class" like attacker, tank and healer, like in RPG game, but in honkai character more like type like in pokemon, Overall both game has different style but PGR has faster gameplay than Honkai, Honkai is more simple than PGR, About Graphic (depend on other people) Honkai more colorful futuristic and PGR darker futuristic, Honkai animation is smoother than PGR feel more stiff I'm gonna make it simple, PGR is how mobile game should look like, not too heavy, much simple animation, but the other side HI3 become "big" in term on storage, so graphically they try evolve to handheld console game

I prefer Honkai atm, I like flashy attacks kekw and I like the character designs more in Honkai. PGR ain't bad tho, also like it.

I've played both game long enough and here 1. Graphic : PGR did better at optimizing their game it doesn't look bad and it runs smoothly.Honkai run smoothly at first but the recent chapters lag so hard. 2. Gameplay : Dodging in pgr is much more easier since the game run smoothly the monster is not that hard but the humanoid boss is hard.Honkai dodging if you have a good phone it is easy bosses are hard too but some of them are just annoying. 3. Story : PGR story and cutscene(?) is boring only the interludes are interesting.Honkai story is boring at first but after a few chapters it's interesting. 4. Characters : Honkai characters look more like an anime style it is good tho PGR characters look more realistic but still cartoony maybe like resident evil (?).

the only thing i dislike about pgr is their camera system it lock on well (bit too well i would say) but ignore every other thing that happening around you even an enemy about to backstab you. honkai have a softer lock and it auto re adjust to fit as much enemy on screen as possible without losing the main target. for a game that requires to be precise about dodging with limited stamina it kinda big deal to lose vision on an enemy. do anyone know will they improve the camera later on ?

OP downplaying Honkai Impact 3rd on the cutscenes lawl

Im play both hi3 in sea n pgr in TW. Both is good. But i still prefer honkai gakuen 2 becoz story is so damn good. There is no mobile game can beat HG2 story even hi3. Kinda Oot tbh. :v

why do you use default valk and the easiest boss to make vids

honkai's graphic design looks pretty childish with its colorful stuff

If i must said, PGR have much more smoother combat system, compare to honkai a bit of clunky. Story wise, i must say at first Honkai doesnt really show the darker story compare to PGR, but the more you explore the story the more you notice the differences. PGR start with overall dark element of the story its good i might say however, they need to improve more by perhaps adding cutscene to improve the overall feeling of the story. Honkai, like i say, the more you learn the story the more darker the secret of it, hands down to MHY/Hoyoverse despite being stingy, i cant denied the fact that they able to create such indeep story telling. Bro, i even cry. Gacha? Tbh i dont want to talk about it. PGR>Honkai Overall, i must say gameplay wise, i think i prefer PGR more, Honkai if they can improve their smoothness i would make it my fav but i just cant. However, for storytelling i have to give it to Honkai, despite being consider as Waifu simulator, the story is really amazing. Just like Madoka Magica.

playing PGR for husbandos (Kamui best boy btw) and Honkai for da waifus

Punising gray raven

I Played them both, and i'm pretty sure that pgr gameplay and bosses fights are way better than honkai impact

both had its ups and down, HI3 have the most amazing story written but have repetitive combat gameplay. while PGR doesnt have much of a story eventhough its still in its early phase, it has amazing gameplay with more combo and require some skills.

PGR has hidden story to play where you can play as the enemy

As someone who played Honkai since launch and recently playing PGR in Taiwan server just to cope for the Global release, I must say, Combat, aesthetics, and ost goes to PGR :OO It's like I'm playing a console game and it requires actual skill! But it's just my opinion.... I might take a break from Honkai once PGR comes out :OOO

When it comes to gameplay, PGR is more fun in my opinion. But the story and character goes to Honkai Impact. My only problem with Honkai is it lacks of male characters. Playing only female characters cak be a bit boring sometimes.

Honkai and pgr are abit simmilar ig But i prefer pgr lol

for the sake of content, there are games that are specifically for all consumers and without fear of large sizes compared to games that take up a lot of storage... it's only natural that PGR doesn't have a lot of cutscenes.

If there's no gender equality and only fan service ain't never I'm playing that game(I once played honkai but I quit because of the reason I just stated and a lot more)

Game mechanics Pgr> honkai Action Pgr> honkai Shooting Pgr> honkai Control Honkai>pgr Understanding Honkai>pgr Lore Honkai >pgr Graphics Honkai >>> pgr Character interaction (　･ω･)☞ Bonkai>>>>>>>>> Fetish Honkai got all kind of weirds Keep me playing the game . Honkai > genshin> pgr Smash Honkai = 69696969696969% smash Pgr = smash liv (brutal)

Mmm bad video ,because you play with the basics and original character. Personaly i prefere honkai impact 3 at gray reven

You forgot to show off combos in Honkai’s combat. Button Button button delayed or Held Button should show off Raiden’s juggle and Kiana’s special Neko stomp

I'm a story and deep lore kinda guy so I'll stick with honkai for now

Now both game have same genre and PGR just released yesterday and honkai have domination for sometimes, we will see a big battle.. which one would take the crown?

Man I played honkai first then went to PGR, what I can say is that I never really got the hang of honkai It just felt too overwhelming for a casual like me

Surprised to see each comment( So far ) respecting each individual’s opinion and not bashing Either game, Everyone says they Enjoy Both games but lean on one or the other or just love Both. Very respectable I enjoyed Honkai Myself but Much prefer PGR…still Honkai amazing Experience either way Still a dope game…even though it’s Basically Impossible, PGR x Honkai impact….WOULD BE 🔥……….( never mind ….I scrolled down..smh Humanity)

Gameplay of PGR is exceptional compared to HI3. But lacking in terms of cutscenes quality.

That PGR Straight Out To Unreal Engine

ofc honkai impact is the best

Me who played pgr for camu and vera:😶😶😶

PGR has better movesets and a more unique roster of characters. Mihoyo has become way too obsessed with Loli characters.

PGR Looks Smooth But Its NEW And Honkai Got Old But The Graphics Still The Same

I have played honkai impact 3rd but got bored I'm more of that guy who loves open world or can make your on combo or skills

Remember when you can only play Snake on Nokia?
