In our review of Stellar Blade, Mitchell Saltzman praised it as "a gorgeous and well-crafted action game with impressive strengths and clear weaknesses." He noted that while the story and characters could be more substantial, and some RPG elements like sidequests feel repetitive, the game's action excels. The combat system, inspired by Sekiro, offers rock-solid fundamentals, a variety of monstrous foes to battle, and plenty of hidden treasures that encourage exploration. IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though personally, I found it to be even more enjoyable and would have scored it higher. Despite its quality, it didn't make it into 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 to maintain a smooth 60fps. If you're lucky enough to own a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the game in "Enhanced" 4K mode at 50fps or higher, thanks to the PSSR upscale technology. The PlayStation blog highlights that with a PS5 Pro, you'll also benefit from smoother gameplay, improved visual detail, and the option for high framerate mode at 80fps with a 120hz display.
