When cleavage is deeper than story: experts are excited about Stellar Blade's gameplay, but unhappy with the game's narrative
Stellar Blade action game promised to be one of the biggest hits of 2024 and, judging by critics' estimates, the game will not disappoint PlayStation 5 users.
Recall, it will be released on the 26th of April.
Here's What We Know
Critics have familiarised themselves with the game and confirmed that Shift Up studio did a great job with their first major project.
Experts noted that Stellar Blade is, first of all, an excellent action game with dynamic and deep combat system, excellent graphics, bright visual style and beautiful characters. At the same time, reviewers emphasise that Stellar Blade will most likely not appeal to those who put the story and narration in the first place in games, as these components turned out to be much worse than gameplay and audio-visual design.
Overall, Stellar Blade's story is pretty good, but it's boring and predictable. However, let's be honest, such games are valued precisely for their addictive gameplay, and Stellar Blade copes with it 100%.
As a result, the game received:
- 84 points on Opencritic, recommended by 91% of reviewers;
- 82 points on Metacritic.
