  • Hi friends, it took me a couple weeks to gather my thoughts as I didn't want to give a rushed or uninformed opinion. At this point, I think I have a decent understanding of the game and can responsibly offer my perspective. Let me know what you think!

    Great video, I'm subscribing. I've already spent more time with the Stellar Blade demo than I have with many full-release games. It hits every note for me, and it took me about 4 playthroughs to feel like I've found every secret available. This is my GOTY so far, based only on the demo. Now if only I could find the code for the Bar 99 chest, I could put this down until the 26th. Lots of people farming the demo, but I think I'll delete it before downloading my pre-order, just to start from the beginning yet again and have full continuity.

    You did a great job breaking down the gameplay! Still haven't played the demo yet, but I can say they took one of the most important parts of Bayonetta, that being the flashiness of combat. I haven't played action games with more methodical combat, but I feel this one will really be the one that hooks me on that type of gameplay. Overall, I can't stop thinking about this game. I can't stress enough just how glad I am that this is going beyond expectations! For me, this is the game that will finally be THE must own title for the PS5. None of the games up untill now have resonated with me as much, and thus really still play mostly on my Switch. That'll probably still be the case, but I feel Stellar Blade does such a great job at utilizing everything PS5 offers, which is what I wanted for the longest time. I'm serious when I say the haptics on the dualsense really sell me on experiences on the console.

    Interesting video that highlights important points. I was sold on the game from videos even before the demo. Having played the demo it’s even better than hoped. As you said presentation is next level along with the outstanding music. Eve animation is incredible with many small attention to detail you don’t notice until you played a lot. The combat is way more detailed and involved than I think anyone expected. There is also great deal of skills that will enable variety of styles and play thrus. All in all I loved the demo cannot wait for the real game. I hoping and sure it be a great success. Thx for video looking forward to the channel coverage of this game. My only thoughts Tachy was too cool to die so early. Prequel with her would be amazing

    Since you asked for a Sekiro comparison, I played Sekiro for hundreds of hours and even managed to pull of a no hit run once and I would say that the parry timing is pretty close to Sekiros. At least once you get the second parry skill unlock which increases the parry window. Before that its more in line with Lies of Ps parry timings.
    In case you wonder what that means:
    Sekiros parry window consisted of 13 frames based on 60 FPS.
    Lies of P had, if I am not remembering wrong, 8 parry frames based on 60 FPS.
    My personal take is, that Stellar Blade is the most fun I had with combat since Sekiro! I enjoyed Lies of P a lot aswell but Stellar Blades flashy, dynamic and fast combat rly gets me!

Been anxious trying to find out the release date too. I’m excited for everything about Stellar Blade. I’m also curious as to the play in the name “Stellar Blade”, like is there a mythical blade later on in the game? Remember this was originally called Project Eve. It makes sense that it could be cuz of her current weapon but we do know she could get new and upgraded weapons like lasers and guns?? Excited

But now that we got to see more in depth gameplay, it just exceeded my expectations. The combat, the visuals, the music, it.all just comes together so well.
    Also, Eve makes bisecting enemies look far too graceful than it deserves to be.

I'm usually a sucker for amazing music and Star Descent is my favorite ost so far that I've heard this year.

    Yeah I agree with your thoughts. I’ve not played Sekiro but I find it similar to the god of war reboot like you said, the boss battles in Stella blade remind me of the Valkyrie fights.
    Ive never paid any attention to the noise which I find ridiculous, i will always go on my feeling for a game, mainstream reviews can be helpful in giving an overview of a game but when it comes to gameplay I find they either align with my thoughts or are extremely wide of the mark due to subjectivity.
    I’m glad the developers released the demo, more should do the same, it certainly confirmed to me it’s a game I will enjoy and worth investing my time in.

    Really good video, I pretty much agree with all of your points. I already looked forward to it, and after playing the demo, I'm pretty much fully sold on the game. While at first I was thrown off a bit as I didn't got the feel of the combat on my first try, once I hit the training mode and practiced for a bit, all the pieces started to fit and boy oh boy, it felt really nice. I also liked how enemies were scattered, rather than filling the entire area with creature to fight, it gives enough breathing room for players to explore and not feel tense at every turn, but not scarce enough so as to feel empty.
    The discourse about Eve's design was awfully overblown by everyone, and became a topic that, unfortunately, somewhat overshadows the proper content of the game, but to me, it's merely the cherry on top of the cake, something nice on top of many other good things about the game, just like Bayonetta. Also, as someone who aspires to be an artist, you are indeed very much correct in regards to artistic liberty and creativity, like, just take a look at the many greek sculptures and statues, they depicted the human beauty as how the percieved it, and became part of the fundamentals of art.
    Big thanks for your coverage of the demo, seeing your videos, challenges and just your pasion for the game has been fun, definitely looking forward to your gameplay on the full release.

    I'm a huge fan of sci-fi games, and I was captivated by how they portrayed her character in just those few minutes. Instead of fixating on her appearance, I found myself deeply immersed in unraveling the world she inhabits and her backstory. The storytelling, world-building, and combat mechanics completely drew me in, to the point where I forgot about any initial allure. Despite the cliché expectation for us to focus solely on her attractiveness, the game's depth and intrigue kept me hooked. I'm definitely planning to purchase it.

    The 'demo' seem to contain more of the first map (Eidos 7) than the presented to players as someone apparently managed to glitch through the ending trailer and continue to play the rest of the map.

    Did you feel there's something slowing her down? I felt it in the beginning and while I was still learning. Then I got used to it. I read on reddit it might be input delay but, I'm not 100% sure. It's not my TV, I play fighting games.

    I can definitely agree the partying reminds me a lot of sekiro, though sekiro relies a lot more on it as a core gameplay mechanic so there would be huge strings of parrys before an opening definitely interested to see how they approach later bosses and enemies having pointed that game out as inspiration though. There isnt enough reason to fully commit to parrying here either way so should be super fun

    Climbing feels more fluid in gow than stellar blade. In gow u mainly just need to hold the left thumbstick to the direction u want to climb and kratos climbs but in stellar blade u not only have to hold the stick to the direction u wanna climb but u also have to repeatedly press x to climb up

    I was already excited for this game back in 2021 when it was originally called "Project Eve". But after trying out the demo and getting better at the gameplay and use to the flow of combat, I think Stellar Blade might just be a contender for GOTY. If this is Shift-Up's first ever AAA console game, then they sure have made one hell of a first impression.

This whole controversy situation is ridiculous and embarrassing to watch in this century. It’s all about standing in the spotlight for people and media wouldn’t even be noticed otherwise. Thank you for your passion and honesty towards Stellar Blade and gaming in general. More people like you please 🙏🏼

    I had high hopes for Stellar Blade after the first trailer, just like with Lies of P last year. And just like with that game the demo turned out to be even better than i had hoped. I rarely pre-order nowadays but i did on both of these games. Lies of P felt closer to a FromSoft game than any other souls-like i've played so far and judging from the demo Stellar Blade is a wonderful mix of NieR: Automata, DMC/Bayonetta with some Sekiro thrown in for good measure.
    Korean devs are on fire lately and i absolutely can't wait for the full release.

    Do you think you have to finish the demo and kill the first boss to transfer everything saved to the final game or is it enough to save at the last rest area before the first boss? 100.000 G and 20 hours playtime here ... I wonder where the final game will place you then.

    @babadookdi4921 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The deflects in this game are closer to Thymesia in my opinion, the interval between deflecting and attacking is quite longer in sekiro, but in Thymesia… you can attack right away after deflecting/parrying an attack, allowing you to attack even in the middle of the enemy combos while defending yourself which makes the combat a lot faster and chaotic. I pre ordered the deluxe edition of the game, can’t wait to play it. I hope that the story is as good if not actually better than the games it got inspired from.

    After 20 hours so far I gotta say this game is just so much fun to play. I love how smooth you can transition from parrying and dodging to getting some really flashy combos. Also about eve I like the way moistcritical said it, even if the main protagonists was just a boring normal person, the game would still be a banger. The main character being pretty is just the cherry on top to an already amazing game.

    The parry timing for sekiro is the same. Sekiro is my favorite fromsoft game and I've beaten it multiple times. Did the boss rushes as well. The biggest difference is that there is more animation lock in Stellar blade. Another thing is that most of the time, bosses are stunned if you hit them with a basic attack in Sekiro. This makes the "dance" of when to attack and when not to quite different. In stellar blade you can only stun an enemy with certain special attacks (usually using your beta gauge). So, I would say the combat in stellar blade is a little more cautious. I love it though and it's a nice change of pace imo for the action game genre.

If you ask me, since technology is so frequently updated it's not worth living in fear of missing out on the next thing. As soon as the Pro drops, it can be easy to slip into a mindset of "but PS6 could be just a few years away, maybe I should wait." If you want it, enjoy it 👍

This demo hit all these boxes and i am sold. I will be spending s lot of time on this demo. I love the animation, world and am intrigued by the story. Special edition for me.

    I am also getting two physical copies (though I probably only need the one), but my reasoning is that I'm from NA, thus getting the NA one (and don't feel like cancelling the pre-order since I support this company), but I really want the JP version.
    A note on languages, as that matters to some players, like me.
    - EN VA's felt kind of flat. They may get better later on, but they were not amazing or even great. They are passable....
    - KR VA's are really good. However, personally, I cannot understand KR and in the middle of action sequences, don't feel like reading subtitles (not that I cannot, I do way to much Anime to not be good at reading subtitles while watching things, but sometimes just don't want to read subtitles).
    Sadly, JP VA's are not included in the EN releases of Stellar Blade. Only the JP version can (possible licensing issues).
    - JP VA's are amazing. Not knowing the KR language as well, I do not know how well it was done (though they sounded right, good emotions and the like), but I do actually understand spoken Japanese. So for me, I can do both subtitles and do without (for 80% of what is spoken). The JP VA's do an amazing job as one has come to expect from the behemoth of a country that does VA work for both Anime and Games and how they treat their VA's as well as America treats their Hollywood actors (and holds them to such higher standards.... not that all EN VA's are bad, there are some amazing ones, but it sadly isn't as big or prevalent and often treated as second class citizens compared to the Hollywood stars in the US).
    - THANKFULLY, the JP version of Stellar Blade has ALL languages for both voice and text PLUS of course, Japanese.
    - Meaning you can get a JP copy of the game and you will have access to the JP VA's while also playing the game entirely with English Text and Subtitles.
    - The JP version itself is also seemingly cheaper to get, at only $56 for a phys copy on PlayAsia (plus shipping, ordered mine there for $64 after tax and shipping).
    Well, that extra is just for anyone else that was hoping for JP VA's like me.
    You can even make a JP PSN account on your PS5 (just swap users, make a new account and say your country of origin is JP) and you can download the JP version of the Demo if you want to try out the JP VA's to make your decision. It is the exact same demo. Same options. Only the JP VA's are added as an option. EN VA's and Text is available and is default to English because of the default set on your console. So nothing difficult to swap settings that you want going through a menu you cannot read (the JP PSN store though will have JP text you might want to know how to navigate... not hard, but is something for those that cannot read it).
    YOU DO NOT need a JP PSN account to play import physical copies of games though. You can play those on any region's account. So yay on that. No region locking (okay, there is some region locking, but only on DVD and Blu-Ray movies IF those discs have region protection activated on them, which most do not) for games.
    Of course that is all my personal opinion and if not having the option to have the JP VA's means nothing to you, then it's fine to ignore all that.
    Though I do think it is odd that the import costs less than the one from my own region that doesn't even have a shipping cost attached to it....

      Only on the Japanese site, did the Japanese Voice get listed.

    With that said, based on my experience with demo, I would say its a solid 7/10.

The game looks unique and a bit different from mainstream games. She (the character) looks good and i would rather look at something nice for hours than a hippo belonging to some sort of minority group or whatever the crap they whine about not being included .
