In our detailed review, IGN's Mitchell Saltzman praised Stellar Blade as "a gorgeous and well-crafted action game" with strong combat mechanics inspired by Sekiro. While it excels in action, Saltzman noted some weaknesses in its story and characters, as well as certain RPG elements like repetitive sidequests. Despite these critiques, the game's combat, monstrous enemies, and hidden treasures make it a compelling choice for exploration enthusiasts. IGN officially rated Stellar Blade a 7/10, but I personally found it even more enjoyable and would have scored it higher. Although it didn't make our list of the best PS5 games of 2024 due to its recent release (games need to be out for at least 6 months to qualify), it's definitely a standout title.
Stellar Blade is a visually and technically demanding game. For the smoothest experience, I recommend running it in "Performance" mode to maintain a consistent 60fps. Owners of the PlayStation 5 Pro, however, can enjoy the "Enhanced" 4K mode, which offers stunning visuals at 50fps or higher, with smoother gameplay and enhanced detail via PSSR upscale mode. The PlayStation blog also mentions support for HFR (high framerate) mode, allowing for a fluid gaming experience at 80fps with a 120hz display.
