The free Stellar Blade demo was recently launched on PSN and showcases a lengthy preview of the final product starting from the beginning with some bonus content by the end. Avid shares his experience with the demo, highlighting the issues that ultimately make the game an easy one to skip when it releases towards the tail end of April.

Any comment that's full of misinformation or just straight trolling and either has been debunked or responded to will be reported as such and removed. If you use the term "woke" in a derogatory fashion especially if it's misused, it's an automatic ban. There's too many clowns upvoting their own comment. If you upvote your own comment, it will likely be removed. I will not tolerate stupidity on my channel. If you have a legit critique against my video, I suggest you post on it and if you fail to bring up examples or misquote me claiming I said something I didn't because you suck at listening comprehension, you will find yourself greeted with a swift ban. Fanboyism and shill buffoonery will not be entertained here.

@blinkonceonsunday1325 Considering the character in this game isn't attractive because she looks fake despite all the talk of how the devs modeled the character after a real person, your whole talk of how no one wants to look at ugly characters is automatically null and void. You can claim what you want. You can bolster about your skills. I can pull up random KZfaq channels from clowns posting "no damage" gameplay videos. It doesn't change the fact that the mechanics in this game's combat system are unresponsive and should've been more properly implemented instead of being designed to work only at specific frames that don't always register. There's clearly an input delay with many of the actions given to this character in this game. No amount of bragging is going to change that as fact. I don't need practice. What I need is a better game that's not pandering to clowns in the souls-like and right wing audiences. When true bread action games that aren't souls clones release, this game will be long forgotten. Whether it's Phantom Blade Zero, Lost Soul Aside, or a new DMC, any of these options will put Stellar Blade to shame.

I think even comparing it to Sekiro as far as quality is concerned it doesn't measure up. The Parry is nice enough but it's not as satisfying as Sekiros is, the level design isn't as good as Sekiros, the enemies don't seem as good as Sekiros. Games fun but it's also got really solid AA Energy, I don't really feel like it worth more then like 40 dollars or so. Its a lesser Sekiro/Souls-ish game. The sexy women clash with the Melodrama so hard it almost borders on parody. It's pretty funny how much everyone's hyping up the game when, based on the demo it's like, Darksiders 3/Code Vein tier. It's only getting so much press because of the sexy girls in sexy poses with sexy costumes which sure I like enough but it's hardly substance lol. Also to address the "People don't want to look at ugly people" argument the guy above made I would argue the amount of butt ugly Shrek ass lookin characters people make in create a characters debunks that entire argument lol.

The game is fun the hot chicks are a nice bonus and there's a game journalist mode if the combat gets too difficult I really don't see what's not to like about it. Neir was a blast but I agree this game is not like that other than the floating bot dude. If you're going to rip of another game do a good job and they did a pretty good job.

Felt the same the first time I played the demo. Never completed the first boss of sekiro because I am to bad. But I was hyped for stellarblade so I decided to give it a second try. And man i am in love with it now. The moment it clicked its pure pleasure. The combat animations do chain in each other, it just looks gorgeous. Just sad it does not have japanese dub.

Tried the demo and had a blast. Thought the world was fun to explore, loved the music and enemies designs, the gameplay was solid and better then I was expecting with lots of options. It was fast and smooth, challenging but not punishing. I preorder the game base off the demo. Also loved Sekiro die twice this game a mix between that and Nier. Only concern left. Is the game length and level verities. Side commit. Wish we get a sequel to heavenly sword. Love that game to this day!

@eythorl97k74 No, more like stole in a very lazy fashion. Doom and Wolfenstein are nothing similar so that's a terrible example if you want to call it that. This dev studio that made this game didn't make a good creation, they made a cheap imitation of something else that's already popular without adding anything to forge their own identity.

The gameplay is far from nier automata or any of the games from hack n slash genre, this game is a Soulslike game, Eve is not fast attacking or dodging, its a Mix of Sekiro with any other soulslike game, its not a hack n slash like people are saying, still the game is good

I wouldn't say it's a clone, but it definitely uses some mechanics from Souls games. As far as controls go. But it’s nowhere as bad or as difficult as playing a, True Souls Game. The best way to describe stellar blade. Is that, it’s an entry-level to a Souls Game.

1:37 Exactly! 💯 When i olayed the demo i was like: Why is this combat feels so slow and floaty...like they're fighting in space And because of that i often press and release buttons too soon....like... I couldn't parry as good as i do in other games cause my timing is too soon

@Quiqueleal85 3 ай бұрын
these game for me felt like a blend of Lies of P (kinda janky souls like but deff responsive) and a bit slow paced as Sekiro which feels like a turn based style action game where you want to wait for the perfect parry before going in. I deff enjoyed the game and already preordered.

Funny thing about politics and games with an all female cast...that's what they want on either extreme of the spectrum. Just for very different reasons. As for the game itself...it feels like someone threw a bunch of elements from other games together haphazardly, without understanding what made any of them satisfying in the games they came from. Sekiro style parrying against enemies that don't fight with swords/other melee weapons, flashy and stylish character design with slow and deliberate combat, near Bayonetta level sexualization without the character personality and self-awareness that made it fun, etc. It's just a flashy graphical showcase that feels weirdly unsatisfying to play.

It is like that. Mashed up "trends" or successful recipes without knowing the connection to each other and if they are compatible and you have a souless game with no personality or style. Other than, be sexy for the sake of being sexy(forced sexualisation ) Reminds me of AI art, whatever they are doing in the settings, it will always be souless. Can't be compared to an actual effort made with sweat and love and even purpose(themes of a story, an Aesop).

I really didn’t enjoy the demo, given I’ve played Sekiro. The parry system just doesn’t feel good, posture break executions are slow asf, playing a mini cutscene every time you press triangle . Idek why the main character (can’t even be bothered to remember her name) kept screaming like HYAAA HYAAAAAA 💀. Also game is ugly as shit, all the resources went into the mc’s model, she sticks out like a sore thumb. 70$ for the full game btw

I've heard different opinions on the gameplay. Some people liked the gameplay, and others have not. I gave it a go, and my God, the gameplay was so clunky! I understand that the dodge, parry, and attacks can be upgraded, but that's no excuse to make the base gameplay so unresponsive. It just felt off. The director has said setting your tv to game mode will improve performance, but I can't remember the last time I did that for any game. Just a poor excuse to make up for gameplay that was so sluggish. All I've heard from fans of this game leading up to the demo, has been (sickly sweet) talk about the main character's appearance, and hardly anything on the gameplay, and story. I guess as a teenager i would have cared about this sort of thing, but the people talking about only her looks look either to be my age or older. They sounded so sexually frustrated. Maybe if more time was spent on discussing gameplay, the director would have had more time to refine it. But to the fans, the game being considered 'anti-woke' seems to be the USP of the game. The main character looks like a wax statue from Madame Tussauds, and this is supposed to stick it to 'woke' developers? I get people like challenging games, and souls-like games but there are so many games that take their main inspiration from only Souls. This, Lies of P (good game), Black Myth Wukog, and others are following a similar formula, and it's getting stale now. I thought these newer developers would be more dynamic. Why not take their main inspiration from Heavenly Sword, MG Revengeance, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, Genji, and others. I hope Phantom Blade Zero is different, and hopefully Lost Souls Aside is still going ahead with its style, and will release in the near future.

@user-yl8fk4bv2p The souls-like genre has been stale for years. Games like this just make the entire plagiarism problem with this genre worse along with clowns spamming ignorant innuendo like "git gud" and uploading no damage low view count gameplay videos that no one cares about just to brag about how skilled they are at a niche videogame that most won't even finish. It's a running gag that doesn't want to end and stopped being funny a long time ago.

​@AvidAlchemist Definitely. That's actually how i found your channel, your video calling out Souls fanatics (I think it was the "worst fan base in gaming" series if I'm not mistaken) was the first one I watched. It was refreshing to see someone online willing to call out their constant arrogance, childishness, condescending attitude, need to be validated (like people who have nothing else going for them), and close mindedness; plus calling out the genre as a whole. It seems this game generally keeps attracting those types of people, plus people who are way too hung up on the look of the mc (they came across as so creepy lusting over an anime-esque character). Any criticism of this game is handwaved away as the critic not being good enough to play it, not understanding it, or being 'woke'. It is so bizarre how cultish people have become over it. Also with this genre, I really hope more developers take inspiration from elsewhere. I was looking forward to Black Myth Wukong but after it was revealed to be another Souls-like, it's put me off. I really hope less games follow the formula/genre, and dare to do more.

Soulslikes arent fun to me i literally just returned rise of the ronin i went into the game expecting it to feel like its own game cause i steady was watching gameplay of it but nope the more i fought enemies it felt too much like a fromsoftware game, not saying its a bad game but the souls combat is boring to me and is designed to piss u off folks will always defend it tho 🤷🏾‍♂️

Oni(2001 game) and Jade Empire, brings this game to shame. Yes, not hack and slash games but the substance though. Never liked those type of games limiting you to what the dev wants. Can't dodge when you want, or fight battles the way you want, force enemies to go somewhere or do something to them. Seems modern games like to limit you. No player agency.
