Push Square: “Stellar Blade is not quite the game we were expecting – it’s more difficult and deliberate than we’d anticipated based on the key art. But it’s clear there’s a dense combat system at play here, and it’s backed up by a beautifully rendered world and some authentically anime cutscene direction. Most importantly, this feels like the type of game fans have been demanding from PlayStation for a while: original, single player-centric, and gameplay focused. Next month can’t come quick enough.”
