Customers are saying

Customers regard Stellar Blade's gameplay and story as its strongest features, with many praising the fun and engaging experience. Positive feedback also highlights the smooth controls and impressive performance, particularly on the PS5. However, some players found the game's difficulty challenging, and a few expressed concerns about the voice acting and changes to the game's content. Overall, the game receives high praise for its action and combat, but potential buyers should be aware of the difficulty curve and some reported issues with the voice acting.

    Amazing Action Adventure Game

    Extremely fun action adventure game. Amazing soundtrack, art direction, area design, and combat. The voice acting and story telling is the only thing i can be negative about with this game so far. The whole Sony censoring the game with a day one update is bizarre as well but it honestly doesn’t take away from everything that makes this game truly great.

    This is a fantastic game overall as a first full feature outing from Shift Up. This game is much easier Dark Souls/Sekiro like game with some NieR elements and a dash of Bayonetta/Devil May Cry thrown in. The story and characters may be a little bland, but the graphics, atmosphere, music, boss battles, and game combat systems more than make up for what is lacking. You also get a neat reversible cover art option which is nice to see in this day and age.

    Have been really enjoying the game so far. Beautiful graphics and soundtrack. So shameful that Sony could not help themselves censoring this game and them basically forcing you to have to delete and re download the game to dodge the patches on disc, but hey got to do what you have to, to try and enjoy art not tampered with by publishers. Once this drops on PC modders will just undo all of their worthless tampering with the outfits.

    I HIGHLY recommend this game. A friend of mine was waiting until this title went on sale, however I was so excited for her to play, I decided to gift it to her. It has beautiful visuals, a great soundtrack, the controls are easy to use and understand. The replay value is high. I’ve lost count on the amount of times I’ve played through this game.

    One of my all time favorites now. At first I thought it was gonna be a glammed up copy of Nier Automata but I was joyously wrong. This game has a story in which I wanted and craved more of the lore and although combat can be slightly repetitive at times it didn’t deter me enough from playing through 3 times for the endings and platinum trophy. I really like this game and can’t wait for some dlc and hope a sequel is in the works. I definitely recommend Stellar blade.

    A Must Play For Fans of Hack & Slash Games

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Stellar Blade is an extremely fun sci-fi hack and slash title that knows what it is and does its very best to be that. While not perfect, it is the closest I’ve played to a successor of games like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Devil May Cry 5, especially in this day and age where Dark Souls clones have been the norm (and I’ll also stress that Stellar Blade is not a Souls-like, as it only borrows one or two aspects of that style of game but not much). Eve is a very cool character to play as and the amount of bonus outfits she has gives the game plenty of replay value that has been lacking for years in many other similar titles. If you liked Nier: Automata, you’ll like this game too.

    This game is awesome! It does feel like a PS2 style action game made today with a modern graphics engine. Its a little souls like but with a control sceme that feels more responsive. Not quite Bayonetta/Devil May Cry/Devil May Cry but close enough for me to feel like the controls are doing what I want. Translation is a little odd so sometimes the diolague is steange but that to me just adds charm. Balanced mode is the way to go. Barely dips below 60fps and enjoys better visuals. Digital Foundry had a great breakdown showing the pros and cons of the graphics options if you want to know more. Reversable cover is gorgeous!

    I recommend this game it's a fun open world kind of game not fully though but the combat is pretty fun and for people like me who are casual with these kinds of games can still enjoy it and if you like aiming for platinums even better it's a very easy platinum and fun has lots of nice stylish outfits

    I have to say this is an absolute awesome game. Story driven single player offline game are the only real games in the gaming industry and are the only games of real worth. These type of games have imagination Innovation cultivation of skilled development backed with anticipation and excitement. None of which is found in any online multiplayer or games as a disservice garbage. The fact is online multiplayer and games as a disservice is what is killing the gaming industry the gamer Community is becoming the most ignorant that has ever been and companies are chomping at the bit to jump on the bandwagon to take advantage of that ignorance and they are doing it by way of online multiplayer and games-as-a-DISservice GARBAGE Along with Digital.. So to all my real Gamers to all my gamers that are not the company Kool-Aid drinkers. To The Gamers that really rock offline story driven single player games and everything that comes with them as well as owning these games by way of real physical media Keep buying and Supporting what ACTUALLY made the Gaming Industry so great an So sought after. Keep buying and keep supporting offline story driven single player games and keep buying them on physical media. Don't hand over your ownership don't hand over your control to companies.. Help SAVE THE GAMING INDUSTRY WE REAL GAMERS KNOW AND LOVE

    A Stupendous Shift Up game that delivers well

    Shift Up's Stellar Blade was a very solid play & made me glad that I actually acquired a PS5. I've played over 105 hours into it(new game plus combined) & can definitely say that this action souls-like game was a genuine article of what games should be these days. I give huge major props to Shift Up's team for all the love & care they put into their game(especially with Eve's excellent design); and show they care for their consumers which is in short of supply these days. Do yourselves a justice & play Stellar Blade it's definitely something you don't want to sleep on. It's Nier Automata collaboration DLC also does not disappoint.

    Best game I have played in a long time! I’ve been playing it almost every day since it came out! Only negative is that they made 3 of her outfits less skimpy on the day 1 patch. So definitely buy the disc version, disconnect from the internet before installing, and keep it offline or it will force you to update. After you finish the game you can update it so you can do the new game+. Then, after you save it one time on the new game you can uninstall the game and reinstall it offline to play new game+ with original outfits as well but you lose a couple other things.

    This is NOT a goner game. People who say that haven’t played it. The combat, visuals, and oh my lord the soundtrack are all phenomenal. The story is alright but definitely picks up towards the end.

    I've been keeping an eye on this game for a while but didn't want to pay full price. As always, Best Buy came through with a great deal! It's my go-to store for electronics, PC parts, and video games because they consistently offer the best prices.
