Stellar Blade, the first non-gacha game from Shift Up to hit the U.S., has received widespread acclaim for its challenging soulslike gameplay, stunning graphics, and captivating soundtrack. It's also known for its provocative character design.

In our review, IGN's Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade stands out as a gorgeous and well-crafted action game with very impressive strengths and very clear weaknesses. The story and characters may lack depth, and some RPG elements, such as repetitive sidequests, could be better integrated. However, the game's Sekiro-inspired combat system is rock solid, offering a deep well of formidable enemies and plenty of hidden treasures that reward exploration." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though I personally found it to be an exceptional experience, warranting a higher score. Although 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 six months to qualify), it's definitely a must-play.

For optimal performance, I recommend running Stellar Blade in "Performance" mode to maintain 60fps. If you're a proud owner of a PlayStation 5 Pro, you'll benefit from the "Enhanced" 4K mode, which delivers smooth gameplay at 50fps or higher, as mentioned in the official PlayStation blog post. The PS5 Pro also supports HFR (high framerate) mode, allowing for an even smoother 80fps experience with a 120hz display.
