What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It's very accessible, and gives you lots of help and tools to succeed and will let you see the full story, including a visual assistant for dodging and parrying on easy mode.
The three epilogues added in updates (plus NG+ expansions) offer multiple endings that reward replayability, turning a 30-hour adventure into a 100+ hour saga of discovery.
Stellar blade is seemingly a gorgeous game with with excellent visuals and an excellent combat system.
The voice acting is very good, Eve in particular.
+ Game is optimized (but I did have one crash and also a strange bug with an early boss arena where none of the ground loaded in, it was the boss you face on the pod where Lily sleeps).
• Controls worked great with my Xbox360 gamepad most of the time, and I especially liked that blocking and special moves are tied to the same button, which provides fluid transition from defence into offence.
