Therefore, the author conducted a study to analyze sentiment towards Honkai: Star Rail application reviews in Indonesian on the Google Play Store using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) method to determine user sentiment towards the Honkai: Star Rail application and then processed further so that it becomes a record for developers, users, and prospective users of the Honkai: Star Rail application. This study uses Indonesian language review data from users of the Honkai: Star Rail application found on the Google Play Store website as many as 6000 reviews.
