I've played and done some research on these 3 games and I have to say they are very good. However as you guys can tell by the title of the chapter out of all the games I actually enjoyed Honkai Impact 3rd the most and I'm going to be explaining why I do. Now like with most discussions like this it's all my opinion and you have every right to have your own opinion and you also have the right to agree or disagree with my opinion. With that being said without further ado let's get started.
Main protagonist
To start this list off we have our main protagonists, they are who the audience follows throughout the story and we route for them and want them to succeed in Honkai Impact 3rd the main character is Kiana Kaslana, in Genshin Impact the main character is the Traveler who you can choose to be Aether (male) or Lumine (female), and in Honkai Star Rail we have the Trailblazer which you can choose between Stelle (female) or Caelus (male). Going off of this alone it's clear that Kiana is the better main character here than the Traveler and Trailblazer and I'll explain why. First off unlike Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd doesn't make you choose between a male or female character because they already have a main character in mind for you to play as from the start. Going off of that I always find myself interested in Kiana than I do with the other two in their games the Traveler and Trailblazer are pretty much just there to be silent only talking occasionally like the Traveler's backstory is much more interesting than Trailblazer's as the Traveler and the sibling gets separated by this unknown god who beat their asses and now they have to find their sibling. It sounds promising but after that they're just kinda there while side characters do all the talking and explaining. In the case of Kiana they don't just have her there just to be there no they actually have her do more especially when it comes to overwhelming pain she dealt with in her past like this girl was straight up born in a lab created as a clone of the real Kiana (Durandal), her father disappeared, had to deal with a monstrous being inside of her, Sirin, lost her mentor, then after she got possessed she was traumatized by what she did due to Sirin's influence, then her best friend/lover Mei turned her back on her and joined a villain organization all because to Mei, Kiana was more important to her than the world. Like throughout the whole game Kiana has been through nothing but absolute Hell yet despite that Kiana grows and develops as a person who vows to create a better world the same unfortunately cannot be said about Traveler and Trailblazer, sure the Traveler's sibling does turn to the dark side forcing the Traveler to go on a journey to bring them back to the light but it's just not as impactful as what Kiana went through especially with Mei, and Trailblazer doesn't really have enough back story for me to even care about their character, they are just created by Kafka just to place Stellaron within them that's it, which is a real shame. Another thing that makes me like Kiana more is she also actively has personality apart from the pain and suffering I mentioned earlier, Kiana is actually kind, stubborn, upbeat, and loud which is something that always got me interested and made me laugh, meanwhile Traveler and Trailblazer don't have much personality they just stand their mostly emotionless for the entire time that's it except from maybe in serious moments. Overall Kiana's character completely claps Traveler and Trailblazer's so hard it's not even funny. I do hope that Traveler and Trailblazer do get some form of character development in the future because even before the ending of Part 1, Kiana was getting development that was far greater than anything Trailblazer and Traveler went through which is why she is a better main protagonist and it's not even close.
