"Perfect parry just gives me that dopamine boost"

Stellar Blade was hit with controversy even before its release but that didn't stop it from quickly becoming a fan favorite. Players praised the dark and gritty atmosphere and overall visuals, but it was the combat that stole the show.

Described as next-gen perfection and unlike anything else on the PS5, Stellar Blade's combat system left players wanting more. This just created a lovely dilemma, what to do after completing the game. A lack of equally fast-paced action games has created a void. Fortunately, some fans of the action-adventure have a few tricks up their sleeves to fill the void.

Stellar Blade isn't exactly a soul corpse, though it does require some positive traits, which carry over into battle. Shift Up's magnum opus rewards learning the enemies' attack patterns.
