Stellar Blade's balance of challenge is perfect, but it keeps tripping itself up.
Shift Up's first console game, Stellar Blade, is finally here to play. While it's a PS5-exclusive game, it's also a great experience for those who enjoy these types of games.
The more I play this game the more I want to keep playing, there's always something to unlock a place to explore a new monstrosity to fight.
With arguments about video game censorship raging across the internet, it’s time to look at what the Stellar Blade controversy is all about.
The game shouldn't be censored to begin with. And the "Western media of artists censoring their work to avoid offending audiences!" I am offended that the game I bought with my own money is censored. I honestly should have just waited for a PC version of the game at least then it wouldn't be censored for me.
Why should it be censored to begin with? It's a game aimed at adults. Therefore it shouldn't need censoring at all. I do wish media would stop trying to infantalise everyone. Let us make our own choices ffs!
Devs should just make it a toggle, those who are offended can censor their own game those who want it uncensored can leave it uncensored. They already have all assets so nothing goes to waste

Stellar Blade selling well it's great, hopefully we get a sequel or s franchise out of it!
There’s no difficulty code to crack.
Dark Souls is the game it is and difficulty it wants to be. Stellar is the game it is and the difficulty it wants to be with options.
It’s like saying Devil May Cry cracked the Ninja Gaiden difficulty code.

"The Gamer almost cracks the good Journalism code"
I don’t know, it definitely has souls elements but I don’t even know as I’d call it a souls like. It’s challenging occasionally but nowhere near souls level. I think some of the souls stuff has become almost the standard at this point. I don’t think having campsites and respawning enemies is enough to call something a souls like. Personally.
