5 Reasons Why Stellar Blade Could Be the Next Essential Exclusive

Still on the fence? Here are five compelling reasons why Stellar Blade might just become your next must-play release.

[TwoPicklesGood]

Love the demo so if the full game matches it and the length is good, I'm in.

[Cacabunga]

Day one buy.. good games deserve support!!

[gold_drake]

i mean, the hype around it is gigantic atm.

[VersusDMC]

Loved the demo and just waiting on a 80+ metacritic or some good trusted reviews to pre order.

[HankHill]

What happens if it's a 79? 🐑

[VersusDMC]

I check the reviews to see if the complaints are dealbreakers for me to buy it day one.

Am i supposed to pre order it no questions asked? It's the first big console game for the developer so i am playing it safe.

[shinoff2183]

Interesting

[VersusDMC]

Care to elaborate?

[Cacabunga]

Loved the demo but waiting for demos.. please stop this planet i want to get off

[VersusDMC]

If you want to preorder right after playing a demo go ahead. For some games I would rather wait for reviews to come out regarding technical and other issues that might be present in the full game.

[Abnor_Mal]

I haven’t been really following this game and it’s demo, is it really this hype worthy? Honest question.

[phoenixwing]

Play the demo it'll be better than asking random internet users

[Aphrodia]

Some gamers have put over 100 hours into the demo. The developer has playfully told them to not over do it on the demo and save some love for the full game.

[Bathyj]

Good advice.
I spent more hours on the metal gear solid 2 demo than I did the game. Devil May cry too.

[Elda]

If you like hack n slash games like Bayonetta, Nier Automata or Devil May Cry you just may like Stellar Blade. If you have a PS5 try the demo.

[Abnor_Mal]

That’s the thing, I’ve never played Bayonetta, Nier Automata, and the only Devil May Cry was the DMC one.

[Barlos]

I thought it was visually very nice but I didn't particularly enjoy it. I'll be in a minority here but for all its action I just didn't find it very fun to play.

It's definitely worth a buy I reckon, but for me it's not a day one essential. I'll wait for a price drop.

[shinoff2183]

Same boat. Demo was pretty cool but not the type of game I usually will buy day one. Way to many jrpgs I'd rather pick up this month. Hell I still gotta grab relink

[Nacho_Z]

I think it'll fall short of essential but that's a very high bar. It'll be a big success.

[Barlos]

Hopefully it succeeds. I'm in the minority it seems but I didn't particularly like the demo. Something felt off about it, and I just didn't find it very fun. I think I'd give it a try during a sale, but for me it's not what I'd call essential

[remixx116]

Glad you wanna see it win despite not being the biggest fan

[Barlos]

@remixx116 of course. I don't want to see any game fail, whether I'm a fan or not.

[GhostScholar]

The combat is really bad.

[Barlos]

I thought there was something 'off' about it. Looks nice but I just didn't find it very enjoyable.

[YourMommySpoils]

Is this the same dude who thinks the combat is like a mobile game on other sites lol

[Eonjay]

I think it depends on the type of games you like. I think Soulsborne fans will love this.

[Elda]

I can't wait to pick up my pre-ordered copy this Friday.

[z2g]

Meh. I’m sure it’s cool for ppl into these types of games, but they’re not for me. Not really into the manga vibe hack n slash etc. these games all just blur together for me and there are tons of them.

[anast]

Another Sony homerun. It seems they are the only option for gaming at the moment.

[Einhander1972]

At the minimum at least it has a 60 fps mode.

[JBlaze226]

I'll wait for pc release
