Stellar Blade Reviews
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).

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. đĄď¸
Stellar Blade on PC takes full advantage of modern hardware to deliver stunning visuals and fast-paced combat that hooks you from the first minute. While the story isn't as thrilling as its gameplay, the PC version is the ultimate choice for those looking for the best experience with well-optimized performance and extra content that expands the game's value. If you haven't played the PlayStation 5 version yet, or if PC is your platform of choice, Stellar Blade is a game you shouldn't miss.

Stellar Blade arrives on PC and is one of Sony's best ports ever. The spectacular moves of the beautiful Eve flow across our monitors without any lag or frame rate hesitation, and even on the portable Steam Deck, Shift Up's title surprised us with its playability. Excellent work!

Stellar Blade is at its most Stellar, most Stunning, and most Satisfying in this PC port. With crisp visual upgrades, new missions, and fresh outfits, this version feels like the complete package. Praise be to the AngelsâSony and Shift Up listened, lifting regional restrictions and making this stellar game accessible to players across the globe.
Sonyâs gamble on the Korean developer certainly paid offâStellar 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 generationâraising the bar for Korean-developed games and drawing global attention to whatâs 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.

Stellar Blade is a game I could sit here and detail every single enemy, outfit, skill, and character, and feel I am never saying enough about it. Combat is downright incredible, and the style and substance this game brings is impressive.
Stellar Blade is more than just a pretty face. Itâs a grand entrance to what could be PlayStationâs next hugely successful IP. What the game lacks in story is made up for by its exhilarating combat and entertaining gameplay. Whatever is next for the Stellar Blade universe, I will be there on day one.
Stellar Blade isnât a perfect game. But in my view it is a great one, particularly as a first major âAAAâ release, and the first release for the studio on any console. Sony definitely did the right thing in snapping up Shift Up Corporation to bring them into the Sony Studios family, and I am looking forward to see what they come up with next!
Stellar Blade is a game that takes the risk of delivering an interesting and different experience. It takes advantage of its aesthetics, level of detail and gameplay to make a name for itself in a genre that is already saturated and feel like something refreshing.

Stellar Blade is an outstanding action RPG that captivates us from the very first hour of play and takes us on a unique adventure. The main story takes around 25 hours to play through and even offers us a New Game+ mode at the start. Stellar Blade impresses in the test and also offers us a first-class, dreamy soundtrack that has a lot to offer musically. We can recommend Stellar Blade and it is a must-have for anyone who owns a PS5.

Stellar Blade is a good game that has a few mistakes, but overall has a very positive experience. If you manage your expectations, both good and bad, it's a game you'll probably enjoy playing.

In the end, the question must be asked: was the recent attention on Stellar Blade justified? After spending many hours with EVE, the answer is yes. The adventure is solid and fun, with an interesting combat system and a gameplay loop that goes beyond mere melee sequences. However, it isnât revolutionary, and the narrative reveals its cards too early. Despite these flaws, it offers a generous amount of content and is worth playing.

Stellar Blade has a satisfying combat system, an uncomplicated equipment system that we can easily adjust to our playstyle, and a beautiful protagonist, thanks to whom the game gained notoriety. In my opinion, it's unfair that such a good game had to ride the wave of a mild scandal to get players' attention. Playing it is just pure fun, and I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Stellar Blade is an incredible title, to say the least; although initially there is a sense of inspiration to the plethora of action games/hack-and-slash released in the last 10 years, of all of them, NieR: Automata, soon, it differs from it, managing to have a soul of its own, both action but also souls-like, which is the perfect combination. The initially action mechanics, take an unexpected turn, quickly approaching the reasoned, precise and rewarding combat system of games such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring compared to the more open and indulgent NieR: Automata, Bayonetta & Co. While the lore, which we could call almost biblical, if rather familiar, works excellently, thanks to deep, mysterious and revealing themes. Excellent work by the developer also in terms of graphics and technical (there is some slight uncertainty but nothing that would undermine the gaming experience); wonderful the soundtrack that will make you really feel part of the post-apocalyptic world and settings of Stellar Blade. In short, SHIFT UP's product, is - also considering the lean period in the video game industry - absolutely a must buy, both for fans of the genre and for those who are looking for a mature, powerful and compelling experience!

Stellar Blade is overall an entertaining video game up to a point. Visually pleasing, with a simple but effective combat system, the Shift Up title irretrievably shows its side on so many other aspects: a predictable and negligible plot, non-existent characterisation of the characters, vast but empty environments, repetitiveness, a general sense of already seen and not properly polished. A PS5 exclusive that isn't perfectly in focus, even if it can make thirty or so hours go by without a care in the world.
