Our analysis
Actually good underneath controversy. Excellent combat with satisfying parry mechanics.
Our analysis
A day-one action title carried by extremely well-crafted, stylish parry-focused combat and phenomenal boss fights, backed by a fantastic soundtrack, crisp visuals, and a well-built Nier-inspired world. The story is serviceable rather than gripping, characters feel one-dimensional, the dialogue and English voice acting are uneven, and there's little endgame or replay content. Still a rewarding, not-to-be-missed experience for fans of Sekiro or Devil May Cry.
Our analysis
An action-adventure whose thrilling, flashy combat is the clear standout, with satisfying parries, deep skill trees, and imposing bosses making every fight a joy. The visuals, music, and a creative hub town shine, but the story feels flat, characters forgettable, and crowd fights a bit messy. Exploration and puzzles can turn bland or tedious, yet it remains old-fashioned, recommendable fun.

Our analysis
Arekkz recommends after beating the game — great action combat and visuals.
Our analysis
Incredibly strong combat and banger soundtrack carry Eve's adventure; repetitive desert zones and overlong tribulations drag pacing.
Our analysis
A visually stunning character action game with excellent fast-paced combat, strong storytelling, and abundant content. While it tries to do a lot at once, it executes most of its features with confidence and serves as a masterful throwback to spectacle fighters like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry.
Stellar blade certainly isn't pristine and in some spots it's positively dull but it's sharp in the areas that matter the most
All in all I struggle to think of any area in which Stellar Blade isn't boring, baseline and/or hackneyed.
Stellar blade is not interesting or engaging in the long run none of its elements hold up Beyond a few playthroughs
Stellar blade is ultimately an easy game to recommend even though it doesn't tread any new ground with the vast majority of its offerings there's no denying that when it's firing on all cylinders it's a hell of a time
you can play it, I think it would have been a good video store game back in the day, that you rent on Friday and return on Monday, and then you don't even remember what you did there anymore

A solid PS5 exclusive with engaging combat and exploration that delivers good value, though hampered by voice acting issues, poor swimming/platforming mechanics, and an overly long story campaign. Worth playing on PS5 despite lacking masterpiece status.

An exceptional PC port of an already great game, with outstanding optimization and performance that stands among the best PlayStation-to-PC conversions.

WatchOur analysis
Stellar Blade is a good game with solid combat and exploration mechanics, but suffers from a clichéd story, poor value proposition for its asking price, and limited content compared to other action games. Worth checking out for fans of Devil May Cry-style action or NieR: Automata, but consider waiting for a sale.

WatchOur analysis
A stylish action-adventure with impressive combat, deep worldbuilding, and thorough exploration that delivers a distinctly charming experience despite some rough edges in map design and post-game content. The reviewer strongly recommends it, especially to fans of Nier: Automata.

WatchOur analysis
A visually stylish Souls-like that disappoints with repetitive single-weapon combat, poor level design featuring empty deserts and generic corridors, and frustrating platforming sections that don't suit the game's design.
The Sphere Hunter👍 positive
WatchOur analysis
The reviewer loved Stellar Blade's excellent combat system and polished gameplay despite its weak story and messy art direction. They platinumed the game across 50 hours, praising the parry mechanics, boss design, and overall fun factor while criticizing the boring narrative, poor writing, and inconsistent visual aesthetic.

WatchOur analysis
A solid fighting game with great animations and unconventional music, blending God of War and Sekiro-like parry mechanics. Well-designed world and bosses despite bland characters, uneven optimization, and some overly fetishistic character design.
The GamerCritic👍 positive
WatchOur analysis
A fun-first action game that excels in combat, visuals, and soundtrack, delivering a genuinely rewarding experience despite a weak main story and some platforming issues. The reviewer praises it as a 'pro-gamer game' that prioritizes player enjoyment over gimmicks or monetization.
Jake Baldino👍 positive
