In a few days, star warrior Eve will make her landing on PS5. A worthy representative of Sony exclusives in this year 2024, Stellar Blade has already been approached during a demonstration which allowed us to lay the foundations of the gameplay and try out a rather aggressive boss. If the test showed a promising title, it is time to reveal to you, through this video test, our final impressions!
Stellar Blade, a PS5 exclusive that really puts stars in your eyes?
After having unleashed passions for a whole host of reasons, from the design of its heroine to the particularly lively and impactful gameplay revealed in the demo, Stellar Blade crystallized a lot of expectations. The first was to know if the first home console title from the Shift Up studio would live up to the games that influenced it, and that is indeed the case. As we explain in our test, the gameplay of Stellar Blade enjoys a hybridization that hits the mark and allows it to put its own stamp on the world of action gamesespecially since the rise in power of the heroine constantly spices up the combat system.

Next to that, we notice a lot of interesting things such as the freedom offered by the different styles of games thanks to the Exospines and equipment, the captivating universe and the lovely reflections hidden in the scenario or the magnificent soundtrack, the result of the collaboration between the studio and Monaca, the entity behind music from the NieR saga. If not perfect, this PS5 exclusivity is still solid, despite the few weak points that we highlight in our written testlike the overly classic level design and the semi-open world, very rich and too redundant at the same time with quests that are not all of the same importance. In short, do not hesitate to watch the video at the top of the article to find out everything about the qualities and defects of Stellar Blade !
