Overview
Daniel purchased the PC version of Stellar Blade for £60 because he lacked a PS5, but judged the game to be terrible and overpriced, citing dull gameplay, combat feel, and uninteresting environments.
Specific mechanics drew criticism from Daniel, including irritating door passcode memorization, unskippable cutscenes, basic enemies, camp features, redundant combos, dodge-before-sprint controls, and the soundtrack.
Daniel characterized the game as overly sexualized, comparing it unfavorably to Dead or Alive and Bayonetta while disputing claims that the protagonist was modeled on the game director's wife.
After struggling to deal noticeable damage with a new combo and dying during combat, Daniel quit the game in frustration.
