Stellar Blade is a great action game with an interesting story. It's challenging in just the right amount and its content is varied enough to keep the player entertained. However, certain combat mechanics need some tweaking. In addition, the main campaign is somewhat short, and can be finished in about 10 to 15 hours (the parallel content compensates for the situation, being able to double this number).

Stellar Blade, in its PC version, remains a fabulous and spectacular action adventure that successfully blends elements of hack and slash and souls-like games to create a combat system that clearly stands out from the rest of the game's elements.

I mostly had a great time with Stellar Blade with its combat being the real star of the show. Although exploration doesn't offer much exciting, it's still a worthwhile action adventure game that you're sure to have a lot of fun with. 🗡️

Following its successful release on PlayStation 5, Stellar Blade arrives on PC with a highly optimized version that allows us to enjoy a title that is much more than just a pretty face. Cosmetic customization enhances the exuberance, beauty, and elegance represented in Eve, which certain ideological discourses attempted to censor. Kim Hyung-tae is a genius who took special care to ensure good taste. Because while the model is a central focus, she is not the only thing worth highlighting, and she never feels vulgar, but rather an elegant display of attributes.

Stellar Blade may not be remembered as a genre-defining title, but on the other hand it's a game with enough quality content to keep you occupied for hours. The package includes a very well crafted combat system and a sense of discovery which is supported by level design that has been painstakingly put together.

As someone who’s already saved humanity once in tight outfits and with plenty of style, I can say the PC version of Stellar Blade isn’t a revolution - but it delivers just enough. And it does so smoothly, at 60+ fps, with ray tracing that makes your GPU scream, “Save me too Eve… Please!”

Stellar Blade is a flawed but undeniably compelling action game. Its narrative and characters leave much to be desired, but when it comes to visual spectacle and exhilarating combat, it’s razor-sharp. It’s clear that Hyung-Tae Kim designed this as a gameplay-first experience, and that choice pays off in many ways. If you’re here for the story, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you’re here to slay monsters, master combos, and revel in the aesthetic grandeur of its world, Stellar Blade delivers.

Stellar Blade on PC isn't just a simple port: it's the ultimate version of the experience. With its graphical customization, enhanced fluidity and compatibility with several scaling technologies, this version takes full advantage of the capabilities of modern machines. If the story doesn't change, this is clearly the best way to enjoy the experience. I do, however, regret the few optimization issues, which I hope will be addressed in a future update. I particularly recommend the game to those who haven't yet had the chance to complete the adventure.

In an era of risk-averse AAA development, Stellar Blade dares to embrace style, difficulty, and identity in equal measure. It delivers everything a premium title should for action RPG fans. And for SHIFT UP Corporation, they established the studio not as a curious newcomer but as a rising force in the genre. A dazzling hack-and-slash reinvention that shines brighter on PC.

Stellar Blade marks an impressive debut for Shift Up in the AAA scene. The title excels in the main pillars of a good game: refined and satisfying combat, engaging narrative and stunning technical aspects, such as graphics and soundtrack. Not everything is perfect, and the lack of budget at times is evident, but the potential is there. The future of the franchise is promising, and I can't wait for a sequel!

Sony’s gamble on the Korean developer certainly paid off—Stellar Blade is the action hack-and-slash experience we've been waiting for for years. With refined gameplay systems, stunning visuals, an immersive soundtrack, and flawless technical performance, Stellar Blade has not only positioned itself as one of the best action titles of the year, but also as a true gem of this generation—raising the bar for Korean-developed games and drawing global attention to what’s next.

Stellar Blade is exactly what it says on the tin. It isn't big, original, or even novel, and the experience turns tedious well before the 20-hour campaign draws to a close. The aggressive fanservice is equally dour and does nothing to hide the lazy shortcuts the narrative takes.
