Stellar Blade, Shift Up's first non-gacha title in the US, boasts impressive reviews, praised for its challenging Soulslike combat, stunning visuals, killer soundtrack, and distinctive character designs.
In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted Stellar Blade's gorgeous visuals and well-crafted action, while highlighting weaker narrative and RPG elements. He pointed out that while side quests felt repetitive, the core Sekiro-inspired combat, challenging enemies, and rewarding exploration more than compensated. IGN gave it a 7/10, though personally, I found it more deserving of a higher score. It narrowly missed our Best PS5 Games of 2024 list due to its recent release.
Stellar Blade is graphically demanding. I recommend "Performance" mode for a smooth 60fps experience on the standard PS5. PS5 Pro owners can enjoy the best of both worlds with "Enhanced" 4K mode while maintaining excellent frame rates. According to PlayStation's blog, PS5 Pro players can experience 4K resolution at 50fps or higher, benefiting from improved detail and grain reduction via PSSR upscale. An 80fps HFR (high frame rate) option is also available (requires a 120hz display).
