In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade shines as a beautifully crafted action game with solid strengths and notable weaknesses. While the story and characters might lack depth, and some RPG elements feel underdeveloped, the game's action compensates brilliantly with its Sekiro-inspired combat system. It offers a variety of monstrous foes to battle and plenty of hidden treasures that encourage thorough exploration." IGN rated Stellar Blade at 7/10, but personally, I found it to be an exceptional experience worthy of a higher score. Although 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 six months to qualify), it's definitely a must-play.
For optimal performance, I recommend running Stellar Blade in "Performance" mode to maintain a smooth 60fps. However, if you're playing on a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the game in "Enhanced" 4K mode, which still delivers impressive framerates. According to the official PlayStation blog, “With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K at 50fps or higher, with enhanced gameplay smoothness and improved detail through PSSR upscale mode. Additionally, the HFR option supports a fluid 80fps experience on displays with 120Hz support.”
