This game is really really challenging. Extremely. The bosses have almost infinite life and you get murdered by one or two shots it’s insane. Enemies health bar is insanely long to drain too.

But for some reason i like it way more than playing it on normal which is a literal walk in the park and makes it no fun and not fulfilling to win.

What are your opinions on this?

As I finally collected the last NG+++ nanosuit, and I finally put down this game that has kept me company for better part of a year through all the updates, these images convey the various look of emotions. From realization, sadness, to looking back fondly and a happy goodbye to this great game.

This is honestly one of my better works! Hope you all like it!

First time trying out the photo mode, think it came out pretty decent.

Perfect parry is easy to do, but perfect dodge seems like I need to wait just before the hit to press it? The window is very tight or I’m doing something wrong

This was my first time playing a game like this, and I'm not sure if a game like this is a Soulslite or a character action game, but I haven't played either of those types before. I usually stick to turn-based jrpgs, mmos, and the occasional Nintendo game.

And it showed I hadn't at the start. The leaping and grabbing onto poles in Eidos 7 seemed tough to me. If you'd shown me the laser room when I was struggling with the double poles at the very beginning of the game, I'd have probably dropped it then and there. And Abaddon took me over 20 tries to beat. I thought for sure I was going to hit a brick wall and have to drop down to story mode. The second and third bosses caused me just about as much struggle.

But at some point, things changed. Instead of groaning at the sight of a platforming section, I'd see a crate or a robot across a gulf and think things like "yeah, if I time my double jumping and dash right and get to that sliver of ledge over there, I can get it." And after arriving at Xion, the bosses became easier for me, and I one-shot about half of them. Raven took me 5 or 6 tries, Providence 2. The last two bosses combined took me less than half the number of tries as the first one.

Not that I ever became great at the game. My ability to perfect parry never got better than iffy and I probably relied on trying to dodge and creating distance between me and the bosses a bit too much. And my solution to one-hit kill mechanics was double WB pump. Still, I did it without dropping down to story mode like I thought I'd have to, and that feels like an accomplishment.

And the world was much larger and more fun to explore than I'd thought it'd be. I especially loved the open areas of the Wasteland and the Great Desert. The voice acting and music is great, and the game's world-building is fantastic. It was a game out of my normal comfort zone, but I ended up loving it!

...I did give up on the Nikke dlc 1-4 stage, though.

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question: I want to get the game for Ps5 but I'm almost afraid that it will turn the console into a space rocket noise-wise. (I don't know if it's just mine but especially Marvel Rivals and Elden Ring too make it go somewhat loud) The game looks very pretty after all, so what are your experiences?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

Providence can kiss my ass first and foremost. This was easily one of the hardest bosses I had to face in all soulslikes, as you LITERALLY get one shotted or two shotted by everything just like Raven lol.

You wouldn't believe how many tries this asshole took me to beat. Learning his attack cycle was quite the task. But yeah... Fuck this asshole robot. I'll be taking on the other boss for the other ending soon and post that soon as well lol.

I'll be doing NG+ soon as well. Game is fun like a MF and challenging for real.

Word of advice, Don't be a dumbass like me and play this shit on hard mode for your first playthrough lol, I love challenges and this was one for the ages. Great game!

(I cut off the ending after I realized it wasn't much more battle to do and needed keep within 1GB)

Edit: his hit box is a little weird as I had to be quick with my attacks, but his hit box is extremely jank. Most of my combos were either too slow or the last hit didn't connect. So I stuck to one or two attack combos.

in the great desert in the crumbling city there is a can in a crate behind two lasers on a building with a sign that says 'daily grind' next to it. it is next to a building where there is a container that you move it to under a ramp then jump to a pole and swing to get on top of the next building.

how the heck do you turn off the lasers? i searched and cant find anything on how to turn them off. i've already done the miniquest where there is a broken droid telling me it needs power that requires you to get on the roofs of three different buildings to turn the power on. at which time you can then open a garage door and get to the crate where i believe there was a can. i did that. now i'm trying to turn off the lasers. tried going back to those three buildings to turn power back off thinking that might do the trick but it doesnt seem to let me turn it off.

any ideas

just to avoid any confusion, it is an open room on top of a building that has two lasers. 99% sure there is a can in the crate, i've unlocked the droid perk that alerts you to there being a can nearby.

please help quickly, i have a busy weekend and dont want to obsess over this. LOL

In the Great Desert, by that area with loads of rigged crates and a broken flyover, there is a pole with three drones working on it. I haven't found anything useful you can get to when reaching the drone at the top. Wondering if there's anything there?

I tried jumping from the top one onto the plateau, but it seems like there are invisible walls even though you can reach it

My primary concern is the VRAM. My current card (7900XT) has 20GB of VRAM and Stellar Blade uses almost exactly 16GB of it, so that would theoretically saturate the 9070XTs 16GB of VRAM. I know that the 9070XT has FSR4 and ray tracing, but I don't really care about that; it seems to me that the higher VRAM is better.

For reference, I am playing on Ultra settings and get about 120FPS with my overclocked 7900XT. Busy combat areas tend to drop to 100FPS or so.

This game is awesome btw, I was kinda in a gaming slump after finishing ghost of Tsushima. I tried Elden ring and the horizon games but I just wasn’t feeling them. Who would’ve guessed finding cans would give me a little dopamine boost

The thing is that I in currently in the great desert and lily gauge is 90.25% fill. So if i fill her gauge to 100% will i be able to access the normal ending and the bad ending Or will there directly be a cut scenes(point of no return) where lily will show up. And that I will lose the accessibility for the normal and bad ending?

So I tried streaming Stellar Blade today but my connection wasn't cooperating today so instead of lashing out, I'm gonna lash out on the Naytibas. 😁 What Naytibas or enemy is the most frustrating enemy for you? I'll Start, those dang turrets when paired with the old droids. PS: the catch is it cannot be the bosses, we already know those can be frustrating on their own PPS: I also may have streamed for almost 4 in a half hours last night, so maybe it was Eve, Lily, and Adam telling me to take an early weekend after those boss fights I fought 😁

I know how this happened but I have no reliable way to replicate it lol, the quicksand holes made me permanently be able to glide or skate on sand (assuming only for this instance)

Ps: sorry for the quality.. I have no screencap app on my device and wanted to record it before it disappeared or stopped

I know it’s ironic to write a review right after saying “don’t overthink reviews,” but hear me out. If you’re on the fence about buying Stellar Blade, this is for you.

I just finished it on PS5 and honestly, I had a blast. I usually like action games with good graphics like Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, and Cyberpunk. I’d seen a ton of Reddit posts tearing this game apart and while most of that criticism is fair, as a casual gamer I still had a great time. Don’t get lost in the review rabbit hole like I almost did - just play it.

Combat is where the game shines. At first I was terrible and kept dying to basic enemies because parrying is tricky. Took a couple of hours to get the timing correct but once i learned, it was super fun. You collect Vitcoins to upgrade Eve’s skills (better dodges, attacks, etc.). It’s simple enough to keep you hooked without being overwhelming.

Boss fights are usually awesome, epic, flashy, and they push you to actually learn patterns. But yeah, Reddit’s right: balance is inconsistent. Some bosses are ridiculously hard with cheap one-shots others are laughably easy. Regular Naytibas start off cool but later on they get repetitive or just gross for the sake of it.

The story has cool sci-fi elements but overall it’s pretty basic and doesn’t hit that hard. Side quests add a bit of heart, but it’s no Ghost of Tsushima. I’ve seen posts saying the devs admit the story’s weak and want to fix it for the sequel.

Characters are a mixed bag:

• Eve looks cool but doesn’t grow much
• Tachy’s hyped as a mentor but gets little screen time
• Adam’s a boring lore-dumper
• Lily doesn’t really evolve
• Raven’s the only one with some layers

Compared to GoT or TLOUS, these characters don’t leave much impact.

The linear structure works well it keeps things focused without the open-world bloat. But yeah, Reddit’s right again: lots of corridors, platforming can be clunky, and some enemy designs feel like they’re trying too hard. Still, exploration and side quests were fun enough for me.

The game is gorgeous, smooth animations, 60fps, and a really cool sci-fi world. Music fits well and adds to the vibe. Collecting outfits was fun too, though I wish they had gameplay perks like boosting parries or health instead of being purely cosmetic.

People talk a lot about Eve’s outfits and the “sexy vibe.” Honestly, it didn’t feel overdone to me. She looks good while fighting, but it never crossed into NSFW territory. If it bugs you, fair enough it's a personal opinion.

TL;DR:

• Combat = awesome (once you learn parrying and blocking).
• Boss fights = epic but inconsistent.
• Story/characters = weak compared to the greats.
• Visuals/music = beautiful.
• Exploration/side quests = solid.
• Overall = If you’re a casual gamer who just wants tight combat and a gorgeous world, this is worth your time. Don’t let the negativity scare you off.

Hyped for the sequel if they fix the story.

If humans did not extinct, would naytibas attack them?

I been wondering about this, I got to the point of no Return and this Boss I pretty much seen before

returns, he is very hard now though, when I beat him he regenerates his health again though?

Game has been fun really but this is frustrating now.

And most of the time thought to myself I’d rather be playing Stellar Blade. Just my opinion of course.

Do i have to start NG+ and progress till i see her again? I just want to fight her. I am on PC.
