Shift Up’s Stellar Blade, inspired by Sekiro and with a dash of Nier Automata to mix things up, is finally arriving exclusively for the PS5 this month.
And expectedly, the reviews have been generally positive. The most amount of praise has gone to the game’s excellent combat system, gorgeous visuals and soundtrack, while the lacklustre story and characters and a generally repetitious exploration put a slight damper on things.
