Stellar Blade is a stealth Soulslike with limited combat options in the demo that feel promising ahead of the full release.
Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has teased more suits and future content updates, and has also discussed plans for a sequel.
This game reminds me of when my daughter used to play the Bratz dress-up game on the Gamecube.
Pretty sure in the bratzs game you also finish off a boss by cutting off it's arms and impaling it to a wall. Both games are well know for their violence. 🙃🤣
People seem more excited about the cute dress-up outfits rather than the actual game.

So, games with alternate costumes like fighting games, games like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, hell let’s say the Souls-like games when you’re choosing cool looking sh*t for builds and crap ton of other games that do this are like the Bratz game?
Like, why in the f*ck do people get all douchey when a game is about titillation. You play Halo or anything? Do you like “dressing up” Chief? I guarantee you this wouldn’t be a response for Street Fighter 6 season pass costumes. I enjoyed running through RE4 Remake with different costumes, not once did I think it’s “dress-up.”
I know you thought you were being clever with the snarky comment, but instead you just sh*t the bed with it. Devil May Cry must also be like Bratz with the alternate outfits… Geezus, sometimes I just can’t with the comment diarrhea some people spray on this site.
I'm guessing because it's another game that you wanna play, but your pride won't let you...?
So?...err, I mean No!
Nah, my backlog is too big at the moment, and the demo was just ok for me.
I won't get it anytime soon unless my daughter wants to play a dress-up video game again. It would be kind of strange as she is 28 years old, lol.

You backlog doesn't seem to be an issue when Xbox release a game.
Tust me, this game is amazing. It's better than anything Xbox has put out this generation.
The demo is barely scratching the surface.
@Versus,
No, but I think that sounds awesome because the Bratzs sucked, so dismembering them in a game may have been fun.
The latest US sales data is out, and while hardware may be down for the big 3, software is ruling the day, including Stellar Blade topping the charts
Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts
No it's more funny than weird. Cause ps fans swore SoT was bad and didn't interest them at all 😂
Everyone knows a game can change in 6 years. The beta testers on xbox one are apparently laughing so you tell me. Well the definitive edition players look to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for your service
Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.
I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.
Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
Famitsu: "About a month has passed since the release of Stellar Blade It is said that an update including a new mode will be implemented on May 24, 2024, so we interviewed Director Kim Hyung-tae and Technical Director Lee Dong-gi again. We asked him about the future prospects for this work."
Didn't feel stealth, just a couple stabs in the back like the rest
I finally checked out the demo today. It’s not bad. Definitely will punish button mashers. I’m not sure why they are comparing it to a souls like. There’s no meter for stamina.
everything is soulslike if all you know are soulsikes
People read "soulslike" as "exactly like souls" and thats a them problem. To me read it as not button masher friendly. Faster paced than souls but as far as slashing its definitely soulslike in thebfact that you have to be aware of you surroundings and enemy attack patterns and potential
I wonder how little Souls mechanics you can put into a game and a journalist will call it a souls-like. It's fair for Stellar Blade but I wonder.
For SB there is checkpoints that restore your healing flask and reset enemies. Combat involves blocking, parrying, and dodging. Honestly it seems like you just need that which doesn't sound like much to start with.
The more meta element I suppose would be the game pushes you to master it's mechanics but difficulty is and always has been a nebulous thing to quantify.
