It's also notable for its provocative character design.

In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade stands out as a gorgeous and well-crafted action game with impressive strengths and clear weaknesses. While its story and characters may lack depth, and some RPG elements like repetitive sidequests could be better, the game's action more than compensates. The combat system, inspired by Sekiro, is rock solid, and the game offers a variety of monstrous enemies to test your skills against, along with hidden treasures that encourage thorough exploration." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though I personally found it highly enjoyable and would rate it higher. It didn't make it onto our list of the best PS5 games of 2024 due to its recent release (games must be out for at least 6 months to qualify).

Stellar Blade is a technically demanding title, and I recommend running it in "Performance" mode to maintain a smooth 60fps. For those with a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the "Enhanced" 4K mode and still achieve excellent frame rates. According to the official PlayStation blog, "With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K resolution at 50fps or higher, with smoother gameplay and enhanced detail through PSSR upscale mode. Additionally, the HFR (high framerate) option supports a fluid gaming experience at 80fps, provided you have a 120Hz display."
