Stellar Blade

Stellar Blade is praised for its satisfying combat system, captivating setting, and impressive visuals. While some reviewers find the narrative predictable and the side activities repetitive, the core gameplay and high production value make it a worthwhile action experience and a promising debut for Shift Up.

There’s a hell of a lot going on in Stellar Blade, but it remains a surprisingly elegant and exciting adventure throughout.

8/10

Overall, Stellar Blade is a journey worth experiencing. I feel like with some improvements in certain areas, Stellar Blade could be a legendary landmark experience like those it clearly draws inspiration from. But even in its current form, Stellar Blade offers a fast-paced action combat system in a unique world with a rewarding narrative. It’s not quite stellar, but it’s certainly solid. Solid Blade.

Stellar Blade stands toe-to-toe with some of the best games of the character action genre. This package offers a satisfying combat system with plenty of progression, beautiful visuals, and one of the best soundtracks in years.

AnaitGames	Víctor Manuel Martínez García	6 / 10	04-24-2024	The explicit and self-confessed influence of NieR: Automata ends up having just enough importance in Stellar Blade—an enjoyable, solid action game, somewhat confusing and overloaded, and without much to say.	Read review
Atarita	Eren Eroğlu	92 / 100	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade has a unique way of always surprising you. Including uncovering the secrets of its well-crafted universe one by one. It offers an unforgettable adventure with deep gameplay that constantly evolves.	Read review
Atomix	Sebastian Quiroz	85 / 100	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade has great merit when we see it from a production point of view and as Shift Up’s letter of introduction to the international market. As an exclusive to the PlayStation 5, it lets us see that the industry is willing to expand and show us the AAA proposals that other regions have for us. Despite its positive points, the title offers us a generic story and gameplay mechanics that lack depth, although the presentation and production levels are impressive.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Diego Perez	3.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a solid action game that blends rewarding exploration and mesmerizing visuals to create an enjoyable experience, even if the story and world leave a lot to be desired.	Read review
But Why Tho?	Matt Sowinski	8.5 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a fantastic addition to the PlayStation-exclusive library. The combat is slick and fun, the story deep and interesting, and the set pieces all bigger than the last. It’s obvious why Sony scooped this one up, fitting into its story-rich third-party pedigree of titles.	Read review
Capsule Computers	Travis Bruno	9 / 10	04-25-2024	Stellar Blade combines slick and challenging action combat with an engrossing, albeit not wholly original, story wrapped together in a gorgeous package with plenty of optional eye-candy.	Read review
CGMagazine	Chris De Hoog	8.5 / 10	04-24-2024	Despite some flaws, Stellar Blade is a thrilling take on the modern action-adventure which any post-apocalyptic aficionado should check out.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Luke Mitchell	8.5 / 10	04-21-2024	Stellar Blade bursts out of the gate looking stunning, full of jaw-dropping set pieces, intense action and gory violence, and maintains that pace throughout. Underneath this flashy action game are a lot of systems that we’ve seen before, but despite what can feel like a lack of innovation at times, it never feels stale or unenticing due to its overwhelming sense of style and polished, gratifying combat. For every familiar puzzle or annoying platforming section, there’s a brutal boss battle or incredible over-the-top sequence that pulled me back in. Stellar Blade is a joy, a deliciously crafted adventure jam-packed with dramatic thrills.	Read review

Console Creatures	Luke Williams	Recommended	04-24-2024	With Stellar Blade, Shift Up shifts gears into overdrive to create an excellent debut console experience. However, the entry fee comes at being able to get over the surface level characterization.	Read review
Daily Star	Tom Hutchison	4 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	By pulling on the strings of many a modern classic they’ve been able to deliver a fun, tough, playable title that’s addictive and enjoyable. But it can be improved on in both image style and gameplay if there is a sequel.	Read review
Destructoid	Steven Mills	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Overall, Stellar Blade is a journey worth experiencing. I feel like with some improvements in certain areas, Stellar Blade could be a legendary landmark experience like those it clearly draws inspiration from.

Dexerto	James Busby	4 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade has landed a critical hit, successfully slicing through the crowd of well-established action-adventure game giants. If you’re a fan of sleek and stylish combat, with sprinklings of Soulsborne and Nier Automata vibes, you’ll feel right at home when playing Shift Up’s triumphant console debut.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	4 / 5 stars	04-25-2024	In so many ways Stellar Blade comes across as reactionary. It’s a rejection of the way that modern games aim to be accessible with crystal clear wayfinding, easy-to-solve puzzles and an easy mode that plays itself. It’s also a rejection of the idea that video game characters should be humanised and “realistic”, instead opting for the mannequin look with hyper-idealised femininity. It resolutely refuses to be profound or meaningful, or be anything other than a wildly entertaining video game. It’s all exceptionally well made and achieves everything that it sets out to, and it’s a genuinely good experience. The developers have totally successfully delivered what they intended to but it is also fascinating that Sony of all companies chose to pick it up and publish it, because more than anything else Stellar Blade feels like a response to everything that Sony has been driving towards over the past decade.	Read review
Echo Boomer	David Fialho	Not Recommended	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a game full of ambition and confidence, but it’s too attached to its main inspirations, making it a somewhat unoriginal piece of entertainment.	Read review
Enternity.gr	Giannis Archontidis	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade offers excellent gameplay, an engaging protagonist, plenty of bloody action, an immersive battle system, and an interesting story.	Read review
Eurogamer	Jessica Orr	Recommended	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade has a fair bit of weirdness, but its killer tunes and vibey, flow-state combat	Read review
Everyeye.it	Antonello Bello	7.5 / 10	04-24-2024	Since the action RPG borrows several mechanics from games belonging to very different genres, the risk that Stellar Blade would turn out to be a soulless “map” was very high. Paradoxically, however, the aspect of the product that more than any other has been able to convince us is to be found precisely in its solid combat system, which even without reinventing the wheel has given us great satisfaction.	Read review
Evilgamerz	Daan Nijboer	8 / 10	04-24-2024	With Stellar Blade, Shift Up joins a solid list of exclusives from the Playstation 5, and does so properly. Their first console game manages to impress with challenging battles, where the boss fights in particular steal the show, and a fantastic world. And although the side missions lack quite a bit of creativity, the main mission manages to keep your attention enough. Stellar Blade has everything it takes to become a hit, but should not be mentioned in the same breath as the biggest Playstation exclusives. The South Korean developer has already hinted at a sequel and once they manage to address the weak points there, it will not be long until Stellar Blade will become one of the most important games for Playstation.	Read review
Game Informer	Matt Miller	8.8 / 10	04-24-2024	The further I played into Stellar Blade, the more it surprised me with the depth of its action and the breadth of play experiences. The story never clicked for me, but the world-building, top-notch art, and silky animation certainly did. Even when certain devastating bosses made me curse, it was always because I made a mistake and was left eager to dive back in for another shot. I loved the gradual mastery I developed as I explored its many interlocking systems of combos and special moves. Stellar Blade is unabashed in its titillating approach to sex and violence, but unlike so many games that use those appeals as a crutch, it’s also a top-notch action experience that can easily stand with the big girls.	Read review
Game Rant	Dalton Cooper	4.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	There’s a difficulty spike with the last couple of boss fights, but for the most part, Stellar Blade is like a breezier, sci-fi Sekiro. The near-naked main character is unsurprisingly stealing a lot of attention, but remove that element from the equation and what’s left is an absolutely incredible action game that provides a satisfying challenge and rewarding melee combat. Simply put, Stellar Blade is the next great action game and one of the PS5’s best exclusives.	Read review
Gameblog	KiKiToes	8 / 10	04-24-2024	A very good and generous action game, that’s pretty good to sum up Stellar Blade.	Read review
Gameffine	Subhasish Das	90 / 100	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is not just a great hack-and-slash game, it’s a culmination of a great fashion designer’s wardrobe and a ‘souls-like’ veteran’s wildest fantasies. Thanks to its satisfying combat, varied enemy designs, and stellar presentation, it really lives up to its name despite some occasional hiccups involving lackluster platforming and repetitive side requests.	Read review
Gamepressure	Sebastian Kasparek	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is an above-average title. Well-developed, with a captivating story from the first moment, and most importantly engaging due to thoroughly well-planned and competently executed gameplay. The South Korean studio Shift Up performed exceptionally well, and despite my initial skepticism, I ultimately saw it as one of the top games of 2024.	Read review
GamePro	Jonas Herrmann	82 / 100	04-24-2024	Entertaining sci-fi action with great role models, which doesn’t have many ideas of its own.	Read review
GAMES.CH	Olaf Bleich	85 / 100	04-24-2024	Quote not yet available	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	10 / 10	04-24-2024	More than just a Soulslike with a protagonist to serve as eye-candy, Stellar Blade has far surpassed our expectations, offering varied gameplay, outstanding visuals, a sublime soundtrack and an engaging story. It’s a must-play for action game fans.	Read review
GameSpot	Imran Khan	8 / 10	04-24-2024	A strong battle system and exciting moments make Stellar Blade more than just an imitator.	Read review
GamesRadar+	Austin Wood	3.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is more ambitious and varied than expected, but also about as clunky as expected, resulting in a stilted action RPG with a level of jank that you just have to accept. Meet it on its terms, and either tune out or embrace the odd sexual veneer, and it’s a solid 20 to 30 hours of fun.	Read review
Gaming Age	Stan Yeung	9 / 10	04-24-2024	For a first console development effort, Shift Up knocked it out of the park with Stellar Blade. They crafted a fascinating world, combat system that felt so good to the point where I would seek it out encounters unless I was running low on health items.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Jason Dailey	8 / 10	04-24-2024	In a nutshell, Stellar Blade is just that – a game with exceptionally stylish combat that is both challenging and accessible. The narrative and characterization won’t land with every audience, but developer Shift Up has made a noteworthy console debut.	Read review
GamingBolt	Shubhankar Parijat	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Fluid and adrenaline-fueled combat, a compelling setting, and a stylish aesthetic make Stellar Blade an action game well worth experiencing.	Read review
GamingTrend	Henry Viola	90 / 100	04-24-2024	Despite not vibing too well with the demo, we were utterly in love with Stellar Blade by the time the credits rolled. Shift Up has done a tremendous job with their first triple A project and sets a high bar for modern action role playing games. There are some pacing issues, and the narrative’s delivery stumbles, but the game as a whole is near perfect: the themes, the visuals, the music, the combat, the exploration, the world, and the technical performance. A modern masterpiece.	Read review
GGRecon	Jack Roberts	4 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is an exceptionally well-crafted game that has learned from its influences and honed their teachings to a highly polished standard that can only be commended.	Read review
Glitched Africa	Marco Cocomello	8.5 / 10	04-24-2024	From its incredible soundtrack to its brilliant world design and combat, Stellar Blade’s debut is a much-needed injection of fun across the PlayStation-exclusive library and likely the most refreshing new game on the platform to date.	Read review
God is a Geek	Mick Fraser	9 / 10	04-24-2024	There’s a hell of a lot going on in Stellar Blade, but it remains a surprisingly elegant and exciting adventure throughout.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Adam Beck	4.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade delivers masterclass gameplay, spectacular visuals and a compelling universe. It no doubt will draw comparisons to Nier and its successor, but what Shift Up has done is improved upon the formula greatly in creating one of the best action games of the year. The combat will have you engaged from start to finish, and while the story is overly predictable, the beautiful visuals and mesmerizing soundtrack will have you immersed. It does have fatigue when it comes to the open areas and side quests, and there’s a lost opportunity with the location choices, but the main story has been finely crafted into a wondrous adventure that will last over fifty hours. It helps that the side quests help establish the lore of the world and the characters are compelling enough to keep your interest. In the end, Stellar Blade is a must-play.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Álvaro Alonso	77 / 100	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade tries to cover a lot more than it should and that ends up taking its toll, but when it focuses on the hard-hitting action and explosive sequences it’s a highly enjoyable experience.	Read review
IGN	Mitchell Saltzman	7 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre.	Read review
IGN Italy	Alessandro Digioia	8.5 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a good game, plain and simple. It feels like so much love and passion has been poured into it, and even if the story doesn’t quite reach the heights of NieR Automata and the like, Eve’s tale kept me interested until the credits rolled, and made me eager for more. There are some minor issues, and I would have loved to see a little more environment variety, but snappy combat, terrific music and visuals, and a world almost as enchanting as her protagonist make Stellar Blade very easy to recommend.	Read review
IGN Spain	Estrella Gómez	9 / 10	04-24-2024	EVE has come to conquer the hearts of fans. Shift Up has built a very beautiful game that, although it presents a somewhat weak story, is capable of catching anyone with its mechanics and fluid combat. Stellar Blade is a game that will remain in the memory for a long time.	Read review
INVEN	Suhho Yoon	9 / 10	04-24-2024	A beautiful, yet deadly action game that combines fast-paced action with the tension of a Souls-like experience. the game also caters to various gaming tastes with beginner-friendly features and puzzles. While the lack of story buildup and the short length are disappointing, and the details of close-range to long-range combat swaps can be cumbersome, overall it’s an impressive piece.	Read review
Kakuchopurei	Alleef Ashaari	60 / 100	04-24-2024	Ultimately, Stellar Blade is a game that focuses on style over substance with aa developer being overly ambitious for their first AAA console title. Let’s hope that SHIFT UP continues to improve with their future games because with further refinement and a more specific tight focus on sharpening and honing its good mechanics instead of mixing everything in a mess like throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks, Stellar Blade could have turned out to be a much better game.	Read review
LevelUp	Ulises Contreras	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a game that stands out for its excellent character design and lore, but its appeal goes beyond the beautiful visual aspect. It’s a really fun experience that we enjoyed due to its exceptional combat system, epic boss battles and enjoyable exploration. It’s a brave game that dares to challenge many current trends to become one of the top South Korean representatives in the gaming industry.	Read review
Merlin’in Kazanı	Samet Basri Taşlı	83 / 100	04-24-2024	I liked Stellar Blade, which I finished in about 35 hours, and got involved in side quests as much as I could. For the first time, it was a game that was prepared by a team that prepared a AAA game, and it was a game that could be much more fun if some of its mechanical systems were overhauled. Even as it is, it’s worth buying and playing, don’t pass without trying a demo first. At least you can get a little more idea of what the battles are like. The progress you make there is also saved so that you can use it in the main game.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Its main character is an embarrassment to gaming but if you can ignore that this is a very competent action game, that borrows wisely from both Bayonetta and Dark Souls.	Read review
Nexus Hub	Sam Aberdeen	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade absolutely delivers on its stylish, demanding action, impressive visuals and memorable music, even if the story execution and writing stumbles at times.	Read review
One More Game	Chris Garcia	Recommended	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is an extremely impressive debut from Shift Up, serving up a combination of dynamic combat with visuals and animations that pay extreme attention to detail. Eve’s adventure is dressed up with the wrappings of a masterful soundtrack that resonates long after the game is finished, and there’s enough content to warrant a more thorough playthrough the second time around.	Read review
PCMag	Gabriel Zamora	4.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is an excellent PlayStation 5 action game that blends tight defense and stylish combat in an impressive post-apocalyptic package.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	John-Paul Jones	8.5 / 10	04-24-2024	In a year when Sony’s marquee first-party offerings seem to be almost distressingly thin, Stellar Blade’s dogged pursuit of an engaging and polished single-player action adventure experience is more welcome than ever	Read review
PowerUp!	Adam Mathew	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a provocative sword guard thumb-pop that ought to make every fan of the genre snap to attention.	Read review
Press Start	Harry Kalogirou	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade recalls the classic era of character-action games in truly inspired fashion. It might struggle to deliver on its core narrative, and its platforming is often more frustrating than it isn’t, but neither of those things are enough to bring down a thoroughly enjoyable action experience. It wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but manages to build on them in engaging fashion with a deliciously layered combat system and gorgeous presentation to boot.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Unknown	90 / 100	04-24-2024	Quote not yet available	Read review
Push Square	Sammy Barker	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a slick console debut from a developer clearly on the rise. With an ever-evolving counter-attacking combat system, some superb art direction, and a sensational soundtrack, this is the kind of back-to-basics PS5 outing that fans have been pleading for. A dire English dub and some trite story beats mean the studio still has plenty of room to refine its craft, but Eve’s inaugural outing is largely excellent across the board, and destined to become a firm favourite among PS5 enthusiasts.	Read review
Screen Rant	Akshay Bhalla	4.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	Shift Up’s Stellar Blade stands tall as a stellar debut for the PS5 and is undoubtedly going to be a staple for many action RPG fans. Its main strength lies in its combat mechanics and boss designs, which often steal the show. With a familiar setting inspired by its source material, Stellar Blade can still be quite an enamoring and challenging game that will test your skills and patience with pulse-pounding encounters.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Oto Schultz	8.5 / 10	04-25-2024	In the end, Stellar Blade is clearly a unique title that managed to sneak onto the scene, take the best of modern video games and glue it all together into one consistently breathtaking experience.	Read review
Shacknews	Donovan Erskine	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Not only has SHIFT UP successfully established itself as a formidable console game developer, but it has provided PS5 players with a worthwhile AAA action game in a year that’s set to be exceptionally quiet for Sony’s first-party studios. Stellar Blade might not pack a narrative punch, but it’s a competent soulslike with satisfying combat and mechanics that make it an exciting challenge from beginning to end.	Read review
Siliconera	Brent Koepp	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is an excellent action RPG with stylish and challenging combat.	Read review
SpazioGames	Unknown	8.3 / 10	04-24-2024	It’s much easier than we expected, and it lacks really fresh ideas, but Stellar Blade is a very solid first effort from korean team Shift Up and a bold new IP for the Playstation Studios, thanks to a fast and furious combat system and solid performances. We’re sincerely eager to see in which direction the devs will go from here in the future.	Read review
TechRaptor	Austin Suther	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade stands toe-to-toe with some of the best games of the character action genre. This package offers a satisfying combat system with plenty of progression, beautiful visuals, and one of the best soundtracks in years.	Read review
The Beta Network	Samuel Incze	7 / 10	04-25-2024	Stellar Blade is a fun hack-and-slash that leaves a little to be desired. The story is decent, the combat is challenging, but traversal and some mechanics bring the experience down. There is a lot to enjoy here, and despite its flaws, it should keep you entertained for a while.	Read review
The Games Machine	Nicholas Mercurio	8 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a video game that, quite simply, takes the best of many works, expanding the concepts in its own way. It’s a warm and long-running production, satisfying and real action, which could certainly manage to do its best with a second chapter. SHIFT UP Corporation, by carefully packaging its work, has given life to a new series and created a character that could surprise in the future.	Read review
TheGamer	Stacey Henley	3.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	I’m as conflicted about Stellar Blade as it seems to be about itself. It’s competent and occasionally interesting with combat as unique and rewarding as it is repetitive and frustrating. Less style over substance than it is beauty over brains, there is a good time to be had in Stellar Blade, but it comes at the cost of knowing there are better versions of this game that will never be realised.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Gareth Chadwick	7 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade is a pretty enjoyable game to swing your hairband sword at, so long as you don’t mind the obvious sexualisation. There’s a few rough areas, but nothing to spoil things overall and there’s plenty of interesting story to uncover as you fight your way through giant monsters with circular saws for heads and weird tentacles for legs.	Read review
Tom’s Hardware Italia	Unknown	75 / 100	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade, as remarked several times during the review, turns out to be a collection of elements taken by weight from other productions and put together into a composition that while cohesive, seems soulless.	Read review
Too Much Gaming	Carlos Hernandez	6 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.	Read review
Twinfinite	Jake Su	3.5 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	It all contributes to Stellar Blade being a bit of a mixed bag, checking off boxes for what constitutes an action RPG in this modern age. That is not exactly a bad thing per se, but it is most certainly a missed opportunity for positioning the game as the leader of a new generation of experiences that build upon the successes that have come before. This title might not be the sharpest blade around, but it still has an edge that players can enjoy. Come for the visuals, stay for the combat, and try to ignore the suboptimal portions of humankind’s latest attempt to take back the Earth.	Read review
VG247	Connor Makar	Recommended	04-24-2024	If you can stomach that pesky cake-carrying elephant, Stellar Blade is well worth your time. It’s not perfect	Read review
VGC	Tom Regan	4 / 5 stars	04-24-2024	For those who wished that God of War Ragnarok offered a bit more challenge or that Bayonetta had a bit more weight to its combat, this slick sci-fi slasher is the perfect tonic, offering both the perfect entry point into the Souls-like genre and a refreshing refinement of the well-worn character action formula. It may lack the naval gazing intelligence of the excellent Nier Automata, but when you’re having this much fun, it’s hard to care.	Read review
VideoGamer	Jack Webb	6 / 10	04-24-2024	If you take just the combat and the music from Stellar Blade, you’ve got a fantastic game. Sadly, this is not the whole package.	Read review
Wccftech	Kai Tatsumoto	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Taking a step back from Kim Hung Tae’s character designs for a moment, Stellar Blade is a phenomenal action RPG that evolves from the framework of NieR Replicant and NieR Automata to become one of the next cult classics.	Read review
XGN.nl	Chris Boers	9 / 10	04-24-2024	Stellar Blade combines great looks with thrilling fights. The game regularly borrows from the greatest games of today and combines that into an entertaining mix that will keep you on the edge of your seat.	Read review
