Stellar Blade is a visually stunning action game with excellent combat that shines throughout its 30-hour adventure. However, its story, light RPG elements, and character depth fall short, leaving a disconnect between the thrilling gameplay and the unengaging narrative. Stellar Blade’s strength lies in its derivative but well-executed combat system, which draws inspiration from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but adds unique twists like Beta Skills. With over 48 enemy types, including challenging boss fights, the game keeps combat fresh and exciting. Exploration is also rewarding, with hidden collectibles and interesting side encounters. However, the sidequest grind becomes tedious, and the game lacks a New Game+ at launch, limiting post-game content. Overall, Stellar Blade is a sharp and enjoyable action game, but its narrative shortcomings prevent it from reaching its full potential.
