Stellar Blade, the debut non-gacha title from Shift Up in the U.S., has garnered significant attention for its challenging soulslike gameplay, stunning visuals, an electrifying soundtrack, and its provocative character design.

In IGN's review, Mitchell Saltzman noted, "Stellar Blade shines as a beautifully crafted action game with strong suits and noticeable flaws. While the story and characters may lack depth, and some RPG features feel underdeveloped, the game's action compensates brilliantly. Its combat, inspired by Sekiro, is rock solid, and the game is filled with formidable enemies and hidden treasures that encourage thorough exploration." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, but I personally found it to be an exceptional game deserving of a higher score. Although it didn't make our list of the best PS5 games of 2024 due to its recent release (games must be out for at least 6 months), it's definitely a title to consider.

For optimal performance, I recommend running Stellar Blade in "Performance" mode to ensure a smooth 60fps experience. However, if you're playing on a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the game in "Enhanced" 4K mode, which still offers excellent frame rates. According to the official PlayStation blog, "With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K at 50fps or higher, with enhanced gameplay smoothness and improved visual detail through PSSR upscale mode. Plus, the HFR (high framerate) option supports up to 80fps with a 120hz display."
