It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about controller support for Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. I've talked about these games before, which are both made by the creators of Genshin Impact. Before these games, I almost exclusively played games on console or mobile. However, these games are not available on the PS4, and I didn't want to get them on mobile. So, I got them on the PC. Personally, I think the keyboard controls for Zenless Zone Zero were horrible. They were fine for Honkai: Star Rail, but Zenless Zone Zero was pretty much unplayable for me. So, I tried again with a PS4 controller with both games. Honkai: Star Rail has almost identical controller mapping as Genshin Impact. This makes it really easy to pick up, and it makes playing the game even easier. Along with this, the game automatically switches to the controller as soon as you start using it. On the other hand, Zenless Zone Zero has more unique button mapping. Despite this, it's also easy to pick up, and it automatically switches to the controller as well. I also want to mention that using a controller makes the combat a million times easier. With a controller, Zenless Zone Zero probably has one of my favorite combat systems between all three games. I regret not using a controller sooner, because I absolutely adore the combat in Zenless Zone Zero when I have one. It's fast, it's easy, and it keeps my attention well. It doesn't feel too difficult, and the quick time events are actually a really nice addition. It's amazing how much my opinion has changed just by switching from the keyboard to a controller. I know a lot of people may not share my opinion, but I really do believe using a controller has quickly fixed any problems I had with these games. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
