Stellar Blade
2024
I very much enjoyed playing this game. Great combat, great graphics ( I played on balanced ), incredible soundtrack, and found the story to be fine.
Combat is probably what I loved the most in this game, parrying and dodging feels very satisfying, and the final few bosses can genuinely be hard.
Soundtrack is incredible, hanging around the camp and hearing the music just feels very nostalgic for some reason.
I liked the level designs, but felt that it peaked with the first area ( Eidos 7 ). Character designs are great, and I love Eve's outfits.
I played on balanced mode, and while the levels are mostly 60fps, in the main hub and in like two boss areas, the frame drops can be pretty noticeable.
Story is fine, but a bit on the shorter side. Can definitely complete it in about 10-15 hours.

Stellar Blade is a very impressive debut game from Shift Up Studios. When I played through it these past 2 weeks I have had fun. Some of the absolute best battle systems in an action game ever. deeply inspired by Bayonetta and Nier, a wonderful main character and beautiful music. It is not perfect it has some basic flaws but for what it is. It is an absolute impressive masterpiece
In hindsight I think I understand why a lot of people don't care for RE3, It's one of those games where there are multiple ways to percieve it. Am I going to pretend the alley ways are engaging and an essential use of your time? no. But I will say that so much is done immediately that I end up loving the whole experience regardless. Pespectives that don't think the game lives up to it's potential are justified. But I think thematically because the game starts you in the middle of a crazy situation. I'm able to really feel the tension here, at all times. It's no wonder it is one of my most replayed games ever.
Things I liked:
- Fight mechanics were great. They are very choppy but still very enjoyable
- Great character designs
- Art Style
- TITS
Things I disliked:
- Story mode (it had the potential to be something special but well)
- Voice acting kinda cringe ngl
Overall, despite its flaws, it's still a very fun to play game and that's more than enough for me. And of course, it's a fighting game so I don't really mind the (kinda) worthless story.
