I'm sure everyone who's gonna play this already has but if you can ignore some pretty cringe dialogue moments Stellar Blade is a fantastic game, the combat is a mash together of some genres that ends up feeling like the perfect mix between Sekiro and Soulsborne, sprinkled with a little 00's action slashers with light combos. Something WoLong Fallen Dynasty attempted but fell short. Here it works so well that a new age of action games that follow this formula may replace souls as the new gold standard. It's like the end result of the trajectory FromSoft is on and they need to watch out cause if someone did it this well with soulsborne world and level design and refinement they're in for some serious competition. I think we are all getting tired of Souls games at this point too and the difficulty curve has no where left to go. I can not recommend this game enough for it's core combat design alone which will have you parrying, doging on beat like Sekiro but pulling off wicked cool combos and moves at the same time, it also has it's own versions of the mikiri counter that uses the same controls so if you're a sekiro fan you'll fall right into the rythym and it just feels so solid, difficult but nothing like Sekiro, the fights are much shorter and more manageable which is refreshing and gives the game a bit of decent pacing. Top notch stuff.
