But as EVE tackles the Naytiba one-by-one, piecing together the mysteries of the past in the ruins of human civilization, she realizes that her mission is far from…, 5,

Title: Modern Action RPG with That Classic Feel
Review: Stellar Blade has been getting a lot of praise and hate for its beautiful female main character and the many 30+ outfits you can acquire for free in the game. I’ll just say this to get it out of the way- Yes, she looks good, and yes, it has a positive impact on the game.That said, you play as Eve, a member of the 7th airborne unit, sent to earth to fight against alien like creatures to take back the planet and restore mankind. Upon arrival to Earth, your whole unit is killed in battle, with Eve being the lone survivor. Eve is saved, repaired, and begins working with Adam and other members of the last human settlement. The story is pretty good, and there are some twists and discoveries that make the story better as you go.Gameplay is where this game really shines. Combat is fast, technical, and not spammy at all. It’s like the perfect mix of Nier Automata and Darksouls. You get in a combo, and then counter and dodge, or be punished. While in combat, your attacks and counters will build up beta energy, which is used for powerful special attacks that can stun and lower the defenses of your enemies. Hitting multiple perfect blocks in a row feel so dang good in this game! Outside of combat, there is a pretty good-sized world to explore with lots of items, collectibles, puzzles, and mini bosses to be discovered. The world is so fun to explore and the scan feature on the drone makes finding items so much better.Lastly the music and visuals……what can I say, the game looks great, and the music is top tier. There are 3 visual options, but balanced is the best as the picture is clear, and 99% of the time the game is running 60fps. They really used the power of the PS5 on the visuals and I wish more games would follow suit (looking at you Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth). Also, Eve visually looks stunning, and you can tell they put in a lot of effort to make her. Her movements are smooth, and I encourage those who say she is unrealistic to watch some of the behind-the-scenes mocap work done for her. The music is so good, it reminds me of the soundtracks for Nier Automata with beautiful vocals and relaxing melody’s that you could listen to for hours. The boss battle songs are epic, and when you hear the metal music start playing, you get so pumped up. I think this game will win an award for the music, no joke.Overall excellent game with lots of content and high replayability value. Please do not play on easy, normal is perfect for this game. I would give it a 9/10.

Title: One of my Favorite Games of All Time
Review: It’s hard to put into words how much I love Stellar Blade as someone who absolutely adores titles such as the NieR franchise (especially Automata), which this one gave me a similar vibe but with more grounded and much deeper combat mechanics. NOT a “Souls-like,” but if you really wanted to play it as one and throw away much that the game has to offer, then yeah, I guess it could be. That’s the beauty of how deep the combat is: entry level accessibility with high ceiling of mastery and VERY flashy and satisfying combat, which is IMO the absolute best way to design an ARPG.As with all games, every person’s experience will vary no matter how much people would like to say “this is the most objective review and if you don’t agree, you just don’t get it.” So for me, I would like to say that this game has been a “greater than the sum of its parts” experience in a VERY special way. And that isn’t to take at all away from the individual aspects that make it great, such as the aforementioned stellar combat, strikingly beautiful style, and the sublime BANGER of a soundtrack.If I had to give a more exact score, I’d say 90 or 91/100 if I was to try and remove some of my bias as a NieR fan and general ARPG aficionado, but considering Stellar Blade has managed to make it into my top 5 favorite games of all time, then one a personal level it’s more like 96/100. Again, not a “sum of its parts” game in the least bit. It’s one of those times where despite the shortcomings, I just don’t give a damn. And that’s how I feel people should really approach reviewing games. How much did you enjoy the game DESPITE all of its issues?I guess I haven’t once talked about the character design and all of the talk surrounding that because honestly it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of how good this game is. It is worth nothing though that it was fun to play dress up with Eve and it did actually add a great collectible aspect to Stellar Blade that I have never experienced with a game like this. There is so much effort and uniqueness put into her costumes that it’s crazy. Thank you Shift Up for being fearless devs, despite Sony’s usual attempt to censor in the name of political correctness and puritan agenda by the west. I can safely say that the censorship BARELY affected the final product in actual practice. Don’t believe every sensational headline you read.
