Stellar Blade's overwhelmingly positive player reviews propelled the action-adventure title close to the peak of the PlayStation 5's user score rankings. Players have showered Stellar Blade with praise for its over-the-top combat and eye-catching character designs, with thousands of reviews bolstering the game's user score since its April 26 release. The success of developer Shift Up's latest title cemented its status as one of the most celebrated original IPs to debut in recent years for PlayStation and Sony.
Stellar Blade is Better than Nier: Automata, Yoko Taro Says

Nier: Automata remains one of the most beloved RPGs of the past decade. Released by PlatinumGames in 2017, Yoko Taro’s masterpiece has been adapted into everything from novels to stage plays. Despite its staying power and influence, however, the series creator has even higher praise for the upcoming PlayStation 5 title Stellar Blade.
In a new interview with IGN Japan, Taro sat down with Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung-tae to chat about their creations.
“Stellar Blade is such an amazing game,” Taro said. “I think it’s much better than Nier: Automata. [Graphics] have reached a completely new generation of quality.” Addressing Kim directly, Taro also noted his jealousy stemming from the fact that the upcoming game “shows that you have your own company and are working with like-minded people.”
Unsurprisingly, this level of praise shocked Kim, who responded in the negative. “The more we talk about it, the more I feel like Stellar Blade can’t compete,” he said. “I consider myself a visualist, not a storyteller. I’ve been creating visuals all my life, so I can’t quite match Yoko Taro when it comes to storytelling. I try to make up for this with gameplay.”
Last week, the dev team at SHIFT UP released the first chapter in a new series of developer diaries for the game.
Stellar Blade will be released on PlayStation 5 on April 26. A demo is currently available to download and many players have gone just a little too far with it, with some fans already racking up over 50 hours of playtime.

Even if we never get Stellar Blade on PC, action-RPG Aikode looks comparably swish
Tucked away in the corner of this year's Day Of The Devs at GDC I discovered a lavish, strangely unattended action-RPG, in which austerely beautiful young women in elaborate skirts kick the bejazus out of each other on fields of whirling flowers. That game was Aikode, the work of Spanish solo developer Ace.

Stellar Blade Polish Extends to Full Game, Performance Solid Across Modes, No UE4 Stutters
Prior to release, all indications were that Stellar Blade would be an unusually technically polished current-gen launch, with the game’s demo leaving many impressed. But, of course, demos aren’t always indicative of the final game, with devs sometimes taking a thin slice of gameplay and give it more polish than the rest of the game. Well, the review embargo for Stellar Blade has arrived, and it seems it’s not only a good time in terms of action (check out Wccftech’s positive review here) but according to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the full game is every bit as technically sound as the demo. You can check out Digital Foundry’s full video analysis below, provided you have around 20 minutes to spare, or you can scroll down for our rundown of the salient points.

Stellar Blade Is a Better Game Than NieR: Automata, Yoko Taro Reckons | Push Square
Stellar Blade developer Shift Up quite clearly took a lot of inspiration from PS4 great NieR: Automata during the making of its soon-to-be-released PS5 exclusive, but in the case of Automata director Yoko Taro, he thinks that the student has already become the master.
