Stellar Blade, the first non-gacha game from Shift Up to hit the US market, has garnered attention for its challenging soulslike gameplay, stunning graphics, an exceptional soundtrack, and its provocative character design.
In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade is a visually stunning and meticulously crafted action game with notable strengths and some clear weaknesses. While the story and characters could use more depth, and certain RPG elements like repetitive sidequests fall short, the game's action compensates brilliantly. Its combat system, inspired by Sekiro, is rock solid, offering a plethora of monstrous enemies to battle and hidden treasures that encourage thorough exploration." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though I personally found it to be an exceptional game deserving of a higher score. It didn't make it onto our list of the best PS5 games of 2024 due to its recent release (games need to be out for at least 6 months to qualify).
Stellar Blade is a demanding game, and I recommend playing it in "Performance" mode to maintain a smooth 60fps. If you're lucky enough to own a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the game in "Enhanced" 4K mode, achieving frame rates of 50fps or higher. According to the official PlayStation blog, "With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K resolution at 50fps or more, with enhanced gameplay smoothness and improved detail through PSSR upscale mode. Additionally, the HFR option supports up to 80fps with a 120hz display."
