Stellar Blade, the debut non-gacha title from Shift Up in the US, has garnered attention for its challenging soulslike gameplay, stunning graphics, captivating soundtrack, and its provocative character design. In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted that "Stellar Blade shines as a beautifully crafted action game with strong combat mechanics inspired by Sekiro, despite some shortcomings in its narrative and RPG elements. The game's combat system is robust, offering a variety of monstrous enemies to battle and hidden treasures that encourage thorough exploration." IGN gave Stellar Blade a 7/10, though I personally found it to be an exceptional game deserving of a higher score. Although it didn't make it onto our list of the best PS5 games of 2024 due to its recent release, it's definitely a title worth considering.

For optimal performance, I recommend running Stellar Blade in "Performance" mode to maintain a smooth 60fps. However, if you're a proud owner of a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can enjoy the game in "Enhanced" 4K mode, achieving frame rates of 50fps or higher. According to the official PlayStation blog, "With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K at 50fps or more, with enhanced gameplay smoothness and improved visual detail in PSSR upscale mode. Additionally, the HFR option supports up to 80fps with a 120hz display."
