In our comprehensive review, IGN's Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade shines as a beautifully crafted action game with significant strengths and noticeable flaws. While its narrative and characters may lack depth, and certain RPG elements like repetitive sidequests fall short, the game excels in its action mechanics. Inspired by Sekiro, the combat system is robust, and the game offers a plethora of monstrous enemies to battle and hidden treasures that encourage thorough 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 (requiring at least 6 months on the market), it's definitely a title to watch.

Stellar Blade is a technically demanding game, and for optimal performance, I recommend running it in "Performance" mode to maintain a smooth 60fps. However, if you're the proud owner of a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the "Enhanced" 4K mode, still achieving impressive framerates. According to the official PlayStation blog, “With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K resolution at 50fps or higher, with smoother gameplay. You'll also notice enhanced grain and detail thanks to PSSR upscale mode. Additionally, the HFR (high framerate) option supports gameplay at 80fps, provided you have a 120hz display.”
