Stellar Blade tells the story of an android/ human like called EVE who is sent by the benevolent "Mother Sphere" to rid Earth of monsters known as Naytibas who have spread pollution across the globe. But of course.. things aren't as they seem.

The setting, premise and twists were genuinely interesting, but there is a lack of detail about lore and not as much character development as I'd have liked, which is a shame because I do like these characters, and I'm curious to see where it goes in the eventual sequel.

The game is an Action/Adventure Hack and slash with absolutely phenomenal combat. You have a ton of moves at your
disposal from sword techniques to a multi purpose gun, and many attacks can be combined into each other to wreck utter havoc.

Not that the game is too easy, it requires good reflexes and pattern recognition, especially in the bosses which are without question the best part of the game.

The game is split into a few different areas, and it's at its best during the linear stages. There are 2 open world areas, they aren't too huge, but the 2nd one slightly overdoes it.

But generally level design and exploration is excellent, some of the best l've seen in the genre, often leading to useful rewards and side quests that open up new areas.

The musics great and the graphics are incredible, it has some rough spots, but this game rocked - 8.5/10
