Stellar Blade brings old-school console sensibilities to PS5 - with a modern flourish


Digital Foundry's tech review for promising PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade.

First shown nearly three years ago under the name Project Eve, the Korean developed Stellar Blade has finally arrived and for me delivers an experience that feels like a proper, complete, polished console game. Input latency is a topic that was raised when the demo released and it's true, there does appear to be a slight delay in certain actions, but after playing it for countless hours, I found that I become accustomed to it and it feels like an intentional part of the design. Beyond that, a brand-new game that echoes some of the design choices and experimentation of a bygone era, combined with excellent visuals and a brilliant level of polish makes Stellar Blade a winner - and I highly recommend it.
