Stellar Blade deserves to be nominated for Game Of The Year instead of Erd Tree.

It does a lot of things right but things like no animation cancels, buffered parries, etc. make it fall short of character action excellence. Also, as you said, the narrative is a letdown.

Still, a solid 8/10 and it sold like a million, so plenty of people must have liked it too.

Edit - LMAO, two "solid 8/10" tropes back to back. I swear I didn't see the other post beforehand.

Perhaps I am just insane. 8/10 user reviews on Opencritic also... naaaah, it's everyone else that is wrong. Yoko Taro even said this game does some things better than Neir Automata. 

Sekiro suffers the same issues with the English dub yet gets 10's across the board and while I still rate Sekiro higher than this, it's confusing to see people not allow the game to be held up on what it excels at and instead on where it falters.
