Great design and combat: Stellar Blade action scores
Two days before the release, the Western press issued a verdict on the action game Stellar Blade from the South Korean studio Shift Up. The game, which everyone loved even before release because of the design of the female characters, receives high marks from journalists.
Reviewers write that Stellar Blade , although it lacks the intelligence of NieR Automata, with which many compare it, is otherwise an excellent action game with a decent design, an enjoyable combat system, memorable bosses and a beautiful picture.
The press considered the shortcomings to be weak dialogue and a general simplicity of the story, which is clearly inferior to the projects that act as inspiration. However, there was also criticism of excessive sexualization.
Stellar Blade ranks with the best character action games. This game offers a fun combat system with plenty of opportunities to level up, beautiful visuals and one of the best soundtracks in recent years.
