Stellar Blade, the debut non-gacha title from Shift Up in the US, has garnered attention for its challenging soulslike gameplay, stunning graphics, an exceptional soundtrack, and its provocative character design.

In IGN's review, Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade shines as a beautifully crafted action game with notable strengths and clear weaknesses. While its story and characters may lack depth, and some RPG elements like repetitive sidequests fall short, the game's combat system, inspired by Sekiro, is robust and engaging. It offers a range of formidable enemies and rewarding exploration elements." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though I personally found it to be a standout title deserving of a higher rating. Despite its quality, it didn't make it onto 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).

For optimal performance, I recommend running Stellar Blade in "Performance" mode on the standard PS5 to maintain a smooth 60fps. However, if you're playing on a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the "Enhanced" 4K mode, which supports up to 50fps or higher, with improved visuals and detail through PSSR upscale mode. The PS5 Pro also supports a high framerate option, offering gameplay at 80fps with a 120hz display.
