For the final boss this fight was totally dissapointed, even Raven was a better boss than this crap.

I quite enjoy my time with STELLAR BLADE was a great game but is quite short, honestly dont take to many hours to reach the end. I was kinda expecting more areas or bosses but hey this kind of game are always short. BEFORE GIVING YOU GUYS MY FULL OPINION OF THE GAME I WILL DO A SECOND RUN SINCE I FIISHED SO QUICKLY.

But a mini review i can say this: "STELLAR BLADE IS AN STELLAR ASS"

THE WORLD AND STORY?
Maybe this is the weakest point of the game, the story is very similar to NIER AUTOMATA and the way the story is tell, there are not really many surprises or big changes, in fact is quite boring. The world is another postapocaliptic world when humanrace hit the bucket.. blah blah blah
However how the areas or biomes in the game are present are quite beautiful and the art behind them is amazing, you really will take sometime just seeing the scenary or get lost exploring the maps.

THE COMBAT AND SKILL MECHANIC?
The best part of the game is the combat is pretty well design and is enjoyable, even i dared to say is the evolution of the combt system we experienced in NIER with some addition from other IP´S such as CODE VEIN or SEKIRO.
The combat is made up of two mechanics, the classic combos of a hack and slash game and an ARPG, where we can use skills (BETA AND BURST). With the addition that we have four bars, two of energy for skills, one for SHIELD and one for HP.
What is normally a fiasco when importing concepts from other IP's to the combat mechanics, in the case of SB it is well balanced and gives the game a certain identity, it does not revolutionize anything but it is addictive enough to keep you glued to the game. the screen.
Another aspect that stands out about the combat is the inclusion of a rudimentary shooting system using the EVE drone, which can use various ammunition that you acquire, which at times makes the game feel like a third-person FPS

THE BUILD AND SKILLTREE?

Well as any other RPG we had skill trees where we can bought skill or passive effects for EVE, works similar to an EXP SYSTEM, also we can equip EVE with different accesories and exospines to boost certain atributes, or get passive buffs.

However this system has a very specific problem there is not really build or specific sert of the skills for EVE, in fact you can bough all the skills from all the skill trees so there is not really a specialization, maybe the only thing that make things a bit different are the gear and exospines you equip.

THE OST?

The artist behind the OST of the game nailed it, the music is beautiful and really goes well with this game, always putting the dagger in the wound similar to what happen with the OST´S in NIER. honestly i love the tunes the developers put in each area of the game speciallely two of them (fEIDOS 7 and WASTELAND)

CHARACTER DESIGN AND SEXUALIZATION?
Finally, the last topic to talk about is the design of the characters and how the females are presented in the game, it is very common in the medium to present beautiful protagonists with Aphrodite-level proportions, whether for marketing reasons or simple fanservice, this type of philosophy is apart of the medium. Although I am against generating these kinds of stereotypes regarding what a female protagonist in the industry should be, it is not something that can be fought against either.
You can see the love they put into designing EVE and the other protagonists of the game, perhaps the design that I found strange was RAVEN's, I don't know if it's just my impression but it looks like a talking doll, I honestly didn't like its design.

Like any other game where there is a female protagonist and comes from an Asian developer, there are endless animations or scenes where the idea is fanservice for the player, STELLAR ASS i mean BLADE is no exception. It even goes so far as to allow us to put a huge number of outfits on EVE, ranging from okay to cute to extremely revealing, but good i guess im sure there are many many players that will love this kind of stuff. FOR ME EVE´S ASS IS QUITE BEAUTIFUL BUT IS NOT GODLIKE AS 2B :3

I recommend this game to you guys maybe is not the GOTY 2024, pretty much cause the game still cant make a huge difference from other games with a similar formula, i mean the game drink a lot from NIER but dont do enough to make STELLAR BLADE his own thing, or differentiate itself in its construction and design from other games, marking its own identity. But the game is amazing and the gameplay is quite good, totally worth it.
