Stellar Blade PS5 Review - The Final Verdict
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 04. 2024
- Stellar Blade feels like a blast from the past in the best way possible. In everything from its setting to its combat, it wears its inspirations on its sleeves, and though the result is a game that doesn’t necessarily tread new ground in any meaningful way, its qualities are undeniable.
Its sci-fi post-apocalyptic world is brimming with scenery, its combat is fast and fluid and consistently a blast, and it boasts a staggering amount of variety in the enemies that you fight.
Sporting higher production values than many would expect, Stellar Blade brings its vision to life in impressive fashion, even if some non-combat related parts of the gameplay experience - like the platforming - can drag things down at times. - Hry
![Dragon’s Dogma 2 left me speechless [Review]](/img/n.gif)
Everybody loving the game except the verge and ign 😂😂
Haha, the days where i respected ign are long gone. Same with gamespot. They had their time in the early days of the internet but now...they are next to useless.
And some other left wing outlets bombed it as well. Mostly bitter women reviewers. Strip out the bad faith reviews and this is like a 90+ on metacritic.
They gave it a 7. Your acting like they trashed it😂
it's because it doesn't hold their hand and is challenging combat lmao
@@DarthRamzanIGN DEFINITELY has a history of knocking down scores because the game is challenging. Lol. Thats why I never watch their reviews for games like this
I dunno about this guy's reviews, sure he likes this game but remember he also gave Starfield a 10...
He should probably change careers if that’s true.
Oh now it makes sense
STELLAR BLADE FTW! 🗡
An 8 is a good score but needless to say, this game will feel like a 10 to me , I’m looking forward to getting it Friday after work and playing it for myself.
Me to Friday cannot come quick enough lol
Watch out for the hate comments, they can bite you
My trusted reviewers gave it a 9 so I'm sold on it and gamingbolt often have terrible reviews
I have a day off just for this
Starfield scored better
Exciting combat, linear progression with semi open areas, visually a marvel, and no big rpg elements. Definitely sounds like a game for me and I'm so excited about it!
Sounds like every other AAA game on the market... I miss the days when devs weren't afraid to experiement.
One of the highest praises the game received was from the creator(IIRC) of the nier series saying stellar blade was really good and surpasses nier in many ways.
If you know anything about nier creator the guy is a troll😂😂 gtfo this generic game isn’t better then anything
Nier was beautiful but it had a lot of 'jank' to it as did the sequel...the praise in the comparison isn't what you think it is.
@@saintmayesn7644 So the creator of Nier was insulting the game because it had the same type of jank as Nier?????
Getting a physical like a true gamer.
Meh. Physical shmysical. lol. Digital is better for remote playing with PS Portal, methinks.
The demo sold me after the first boss fight. Feels very nier automata mixed with souls
I didn't like the demo. The camera shake was way over the top and gimmicki. It felt like every hack n slash game I ha e played. Although, I have been playing games for close to 50 years now. If I was a new gamer( someone under 10 years gaming experience) I would ha e liked the demo. With that said I will wait u til I see regular people playing it as that's how I will play it to decide if I like it. Demo didn't wow me.
@@str8boogerflikn102if the demo didn’t wow you move on. Why are you waiting for the opinions of random people when you’ve tried it yourself and didn’t like it?
@bigde131 because the demo is a demo. It's not the full game or might be an old version of the game. I'm going to watch people play it and not really get their opinions. Reviews are not great but I don't care about Reviews other than watching gameplay by normal people.
Just based off the demo i rated the game a 7/10
Notice how everyone’s combat looks stuck in place blocking, more people need to know how to “Perfect Dash”. Makes the gameplay wayyyy faster. I can’t wait to play the game honestly lol
Can't wait to stream it 🤩
That score is so GamingBolt.
This game will be the next live-action series.
that veiled dig at the beginning is top tier. lmaooo
Do you always have the same sword? Or do you get different weapons?
Can't wait to get my copy in the mail!
Physical copies are where its at lets keep physical games alive! 💪
@@dbarrelbeatz2025 only way to preserve games
Looks like a modern day Ninja Gaiden
Way too slow to be a Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden II (vanilla 360) in the greatest character action game ever made.
Just based on the demo (which I loved) Eve is way slower and weighty than Hayabusa. You’re also not taking 5-10 enemies at once here
Having said all that, I can totally see how a person that’s never played Ninja Gaiden at an expert level would compare the 2 games
@@kaikiske7436we need a modern day rendition of ninja gaiden or a game that’s close to it in spirit/ influence
I'm wondering how the difficulty is. I'm quite bad at games, but the story from what I've seen so far does intrigue me. I don't play these kinds of games or stories often, so I thought the supposed banality of it might not be as prevalent to me since I might not be aware of the tropes. But again, I'm bad at games... some games, at least. And this is the kind of game I think I'd be pretty bad at.
Is there an easy mode for babies like me?
There are difficulty options. So don’t worry us easy mode gamers can still enjoy 😂
Yes, there's story mode. You can also just farm an early area of the game, since the enemies, statues and wodden chests respawn everytime you rest.
Farming = More money (Vitcoins) + more random items dropped in those statues and wodden chests + more experience to enable to invest in more skills. It might be a bit tedious, but what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger.
Stellar Blade is a stellar masterpiece! 10/10
Pros: Everthing, except for Tachy's storyline.
Cons: Tachy's storyline. Tachy should have been the main protagonist, even though her hotness, would have been more distracting while playing the game.
Amazing combat, beautiful graphics, killer soundtrack. This is a definite buy for me.
The way she fights is mesmerizing
I’ve been hearing great things from the content creators I trust more that journalists. Looking forward to this one. 8 is a good score though so I can’t complain.
A review that actually talks about game stuff nah with game like this I thought it was a myth. Surprisingly very nice review though I wish they showed other costumes and a bit of the 2nd chapter i guess.
I loved the music in the demo. And the combat was so fun.
Are there any outer space levels or missions in this game ?
I'm so glad reviewers are standing their ground in the face of a mob who wants to censor their opinions on this game.
8 here.
NoisyPixel gave it a 9.
ign can't count past 7.
This game will be a good time.
Male "feminists" can't count past 7. Modern media outlets are just Marxist ridden echo chambers anyway.
I didn’t find the movement to be clunky in the demo. There are several areas where you’re walking on narrow ledges and stuff like that, didn’t seem difficult to me. 🤷♂️
good to hear this game is great
The combat in this game is legendary when she deflects attacks the controller makes an awesome sound effect! The boss challenge mission is hard but if u learn how to dodnge and deflect parry, you will be a bad ass and the game.well.definitly show u that u are
So , a good game overall. will get it once they release the inevitable patches.
Digital foundry said there were no bugs and the performance was top notch. I don’t think you need to wait for a patch. Up to you though.
@@iDriveAhondaCivic I’ll wait. There’s always tweaks or so they’ll make. Extra costumes probably
@iDriveAhondaCivic
Just admit it you broke lol jk
Probably be one of the first ps5 games I get when the pro comes out.
They already have a patch for new game +
Eve's arse 10/10
Tachy's is even better! 😍
It's crazy because when we were younger and games seemed to be more consistently good, we placed emphasis on story. But now as we get older, many of us here at SkM prioritize gameplay. Not saying that story isn't important... but as we were saying in a discussion yesterday around the TR reboots, story is just too subjective. And it's more forgivable when a game is still fun but has a bad story than when the opposite is true.
If we are REALLY interested in getting a good story, we'll read a good book, or watch a good movie.
@@skmed83 I play games to relieve stress. I don't want to sit in front of the TV and read a novel, I do enough of that at work.
@@drsnowmon Yep! That's why the crux of the statement was on there being plenty of other options. Not restricting good stories to "novels". Or shows and/or games for that matter.
@@skmed83 Exactly! I was agreeing with you 100%
@@drsnowmon Haha! Right on! Apologies... Being on Twitter/X has definitely made us "guarded" somewhat.
Having watched multiple SB reviews, this is the broad consensus:
+ Great combat (narrower parry/dodge windows than Sekiro)
+ Good boss battles
- Paper thin characterizations
- Repetitive fetch side quests
Aggregate Score: 8ish/10
Gonna keep my expectations tempered, Lies of P knocked it out of the park and if SB can come close it'll be good
I’ve seen reviews saying the characterization for the main cast is great, and the “fetch quests” as you put it, all lead to something be it an upgrade, costume, and/or a story element.
Noisy Pixel did bring up a detail that may have escaped some of those reviewers who said the characterization was ‘paper thin’: a lot of the character development happens in/during the side quests and thus, if all you do is the main quest, you may come out thinking there was little character development.
You have said this some where before….. we both surfing these comments….
Seems top tier to me
Never watch reviews or videos of games anymore but I’m trying to cut back on my insane gaming budget so here I am ….. let’s see what game gets my money this week.
Great review and thank you for not commenting on the "low hanging fruit" that most other outlets are commenting on.
I like this game, compared to hardcore Devil May Cry this game is enjoyable
When it will be released on PC?
Pc beggar race at its finest
Hope early next year.
Plot seems kinda like Nier Automata, I can dig it
That's a once in a generation type of game, tall order.
@@urameshi4725...I know a few games with nier plot and does it better.nier is very overrated.the plot idea was great but like all yoko taro ganes,he needs a serious ghost writer.hes a def try hard
It looks like (Jedi) Eve Survivor. :) Wasteland is like Jedha, there is platforming, sword combat, skills, puzzles with moving objects, droid friend (this time flying one)... But its not bad thing. I wonder how good are side quests visible here (it seems there is good number of them) - czcams.com/video/wJ1p0uxdhvA/video.htmlfeature=shared&t=130
awesome game.
It got a 8 your welcome
We’re here for the review, not the score
That's not helpful information. An arbitrary number means nothng without context. People who only care about the review score and not the actual review are the same people who complain about how certain games get better or lower scores than a game that they like or hate.
Thank you for telling us nothing. The story is more important than a random number.
@@Seriousjaak you are underestimating how many people only care for scores lol.
@@justjami9619 That's true. In the review he said "Stellar Blade never dips below a minimum standard of quality". That could be a 5/10 as well. Even numbers can be used in different ways, I guess.
Take my money 💰
Let me get this straight. 69.99 plus tax gets me a game that’s ACTUALLY FINISHED??!! I don’t have to get the ultimate edition to get features that SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH??!!! What is this world coming too???? I’m going to buy it thanks 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥👍🏿
Beautiful score 8. Gaming Bolt DOMINICK, THANK YOU. Stellar Blade Beautiful Protagonist, OST and action-adventure genre YES I will play the game :) SHIFT UP Korean Developers did a GOOD JOB (Sony PlayStation so lucky to have them).
For all the advanced players who want a more fast pace gameplay learn how to do the “Perfect Dash” technique. I made a video on the method to moving wayyyyy faster in the game. It is not the same as dodge canceling but an addition to it!
Most of the scores are from ranging from 7-8. Not bad from a mobile gaming company.
Can anybody please tell, the game is not out yet then how come there are reviews
Who are these reviewers
sites like gamespot, ign and so on get a review copy a day or 2 early to review the game
@@BigBoss-tq3octhanks
Eve can run on walls. That didn't it for me. I can't wait to play it
If you like it I love it
Nice! It's an honest review from Western game journos.
LOL, I'm sorry but you started the gameplay off just like I thought a journalist would.
Way to kick the review off with some absolutely ass gameplay😂 excited for this one tho!
😂😂😂
base on this I rate this a 9
You did say android but in a interview the say eve is a cyborg
I give this game a DD
Hahaha the same score as saints row reboot.
This game has next to no bugs, runs very smoothly, plenty of opportunities for microtransactions yet doesnt have any, extremely polished gameplay. Graphically impressive.
Gamingbolt thinks this is as bad as saints row reboot. This journalist just doesn't respect women.
do u still mash r2 to pickup things?
Just hold the button down as you walk past stuff
There is an option that allows you to automatically pick up items in the settings. Please check the settings and see what you want to turn on or off. Ive seen alot of people not looking at the settings to tweak stuff to cater for them. Please do, to make your experience a little more enjoyable maybe.
Looks great. IGN is WRONG.
I AGREE. Beautiful Protagonist, combat system, ost and action-adventure genre you cannot go wrong with that.
@@sushiyeah most of all FUN
Ok
PlayStation is going to buy this studio?
I hope they do.
Keep it off Xbox 😂
No, we don't need
corporation politics seething the way into their next game. If this studio's first game is almost a 10 they don't need Sony or Xbox they got US.
@@mosthated8848 Very true, that. Stay independent as to be free of wokism. As long as they create good games, they’ll always have the gamers’ support.
Its definitely solid 8out10
It misses points due to lackluster story and gameplay can seem clunky at times. Nothin but truth
Did they really have a store in the game called hard r?
So?
@@mosthated8848 Just seems obsessive. They not even in the game, but they talking about them. Just leave them out completely.
@@mosthated8848 Actually, you writing "so" made me think about it. That isn't what they are referencing at all. They mean like a movie rating. Like when they say the movie earned it R rating or the movie has a hard R rating due to gratuitous this and that. Well played.
First 32 secs of suffering...this guy sucks lol
Spoiler alert: The score is the same given to The Saints Row Reboot
Uh oh 😂
Doubt it
@@peteparker22check for yourself. On their review of the Saints Row Reboot, they gave that an 8. And I never stop reminding them of it lol
Do you guys think it’s worth the 70 dollar price tag ?
No game is worth 70 to be honest.
It's worth the price it's a pretty bulky game. This is a 9 out of 10 game.
i really enjoyed the demo - some of the parry/ dodge timings seemed a bit clunky but overall the combat seemed solid - the big thing for me was the soundtrack, absolute bangers!
Been a long time since I've really noticed the music in an action game. Visually it looks great and as I am a big fan of all things DMC and Bayonetta this is a day 1 buy for me!
I read on X that if you turn off HDCP in the PS5 system settings, it helps with the input lag in the demo.
I definitely noticed the difference myself.
Try it out, might help!
Sounds like a one and done back to the shelf game
@Wonkasimpson699 mate who are you talking to I see zero likes on this comment lol
@Wonkasimpson699 🤓 "I'm a real gamer"
@Wonkasimpson699 bro keeps deleting his comments lmao dude wtf are you smoking
@Wonkasimpson699 dude is a bot
@Wonkasimpson699 keep talking to yourself lmao
I'm impressed that y'all made it through the entire review without mentioning the real reason anyone is playing this
Perhaps there are actually people who are looking beyond how bad Eve is. Personally, for me, a few minutes into the demo, her looks weren't as important as the gameplay. It just so happens that the protagonist is easy on the eyes.
Its been a thing for almost all of mankind that "sex sells." If the aesthetic is pleasing its easier for some people to TRY the game, or outright buy it.
But her looks dont really seem to play any part in the actual game, its only bothering people that the game likely isnt targeting as its playerbase anyways.
@mwbwyatt
Yea like woke ugly folks. 😂
This game is very refreshing from all the triple a wannabe games that are just bloated ...
Just straight up beautiful action and simple controls.
Meanwhile.... Xbox has.......a new controller 😂
It's been getting good reviews an 8 is good enough for me I got the digital deluxe edition & sea of thieves premium edition both games drop this week.🥂😎
I have finished it and on my second play through new game +. This game is 9+. Why these reviews are salty god knows
IGN: "What is a woman?" - 7/10
IGN r H U R E N S Ö H N E ! translate it if im right gave me a like 😂
Yeah when you nitpick the game apart of course it will get an 8. The platforming and the environmental puzzles are fine not once did i have issues.
Exactly what I was expecting.. ngl - was hoping they would have done something to set SB a part from the pack but the boss fights are enough for my $$$ regardless.
Bunch of cowards...an 8? Really...a very "SAFE" score....what are you afraid of? SBI? KOTAKU?
Imagine getter stared down at the next GDC “scream at the sky in unison” ceremony 😂
Probably good to wait on this game when a sale or two comes, since the story is not so evocative in a single player only game.
Is Eve actually an android or is that a misunderstanding?
Checks out from a guy who called Starfield a 10/10 game lmao
Demo is much flashier and better looking..................can I just keep playing the demo? At 1st I didn't like the all the t and a , it was like a porno. But the game plays nice, and is pretty.
If you got a neckbeard this game fire!
I thought the game said eve was a human
its giving metroid prime
I already buy it because stellar blade is more common of Xenoblade Chronicles by same name but however music theme is Doom slayer make player hype and the quite difficult level of skill is Xenoblade but is actually sekiro shadows die twice skill technique to survive also art technique form Xenoblade Chronicles. It because it fusion of Xenoblade Chronicles + Doom slayer + sekiro shadows die twice = Stellar Blade
I think it was clear from the first peeks at this game months ago that this was always an 8.
IGN gave this one a 7….
Why does anyone watch IGN. It seriously stumps me.
If IGN really gave them a 7 than they r salty cuz of something may no exklusiv copy or no goodies for them. What i wanna say i don't give a fuck what IGN gave the game is a 10/10 .
Ok Lol eve is not an android she is a human 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
That’s exactly what I thought. Androids do not bleed😂😂😂😂.
Did we forget Tachy being stabbed and having her arm hacked off??
Watching the first 15 seconds let's me know you never played sekiro
GOTY
Of course, these reviewers don't wanna give it a 10 it's all political BS these days.
Whats the characters name lol .? Reviewer kept calling her player character. Dowsnt he know her name ? (And i dont know either lol)
I will wait until regular people play and watxj them play. I ha e been burned too many times by reviews.
82 on Metacritics. You are welcome.
#FreeStellarBlade Sony censored the game last minute on launch day. Sign the petition, cancel your PS Plus with #FreeStellarBlade, let them know we are tired of the woke mob controlling our games!
You can do better than whine
No wonder you like your own comment
Deluxe preordered... So good.. like tom seee meltdown from Woke freaks...
Didn't enjoy the demo at all so gonna happily sit this one out.
Same I’m missing nothing not buying this luckily demo gameplay was bad and had delays if you’re gonna make a demo make it good first impressions are everything
gamepass day1
I wish
This game will never come to Xbox or any pass 😂
@stephensearles673 you never know. I know it won't be anytime soon but I won't say never
@@humblemole9878 have you not seen all the videos and news? Phil Spence has said Xbox does not want curvy or sexy woman of any kind in Xbox games so even if Sony offered them the game they'd say no
@stephensearles673 money talks and if that game is a hit. Phil will back track what he's said like he's done before on things
Stopped watching after seeing how bad the reviewer is at this game in the first 30 seconds. Oof
All you fanboys were hyping this game up to be AAA and I told y’all this game was mid from the demo. It has an 80% on metacritic and 7 from IGN. For all you grown ass men who play video games all day, you shoulda known this game is mid but you wanted to hype it up. Gamers disgust me. And if you want to lie and say no one said this , look up comments on old stellar blade videos of people hyping it up to be AAA cause of the demo. People were especially hyping this up cause the dumbass woke group were against this. Don’t let your side on an agenda judge video games.
Ikrr
This was too painful to watch he is not learning the enemy pattern and also parrying enemies I am sorry but this reviewer sucks at this game
Good. The last thing we need is yet another generic open world game. There are far too many of those releasing every year.
Starfield was a monumental piece of garbage… this game is a 10 in comparison
The fighting style reminds me of Devil May Cry 😊
