The latest PS5 exclusive has caused great controversy because of the way its female characters look but what is the game itself like?
Stellar Blade – this is one of the more demure outfits We really wish Korean developer Shift Up hadn’t chosen to design its protagonist the way it has. Whether you find it offensive, absurd, or irrelevant it’s become such a distraction that too few people are going to end up talking about the game itself. The unfortunate truth is that Stellar Blade is a terrible advert for female representation in gaming, but it is an excellent action game and one of the best exclusives on PlayStation 5.
The sense of feedback, when an attack lands, isn’t quite as tactile as it could be but otherwise Stellar Blade’s combat is excellent and particularly good for those not used to the genre. Although at first glance the backdrops all seem fairly linear and straightforward there are an impressive number of secrets hidden within them, as you try to obtain the resources to upgrade EVE’s gear and armour .
