New PS5 game with stable test rating on Metacritic

earthpressnews

The new PS5 game Stellar Blade caused a lot of discussion even before its release, mostly about appearances. Now 98 tests have been released for the game and you can say: the game has more to offer than just the heroine Eve. With 82% ratings, Stellar Blade is doing well. For some, it’s even the perfect action game. We look at the test ratings from the release on April 26th.

Why was there so much talk about Stellar Blade?

  • Stellar Blade used a full-body scan of a South Korean model to create the protagonist Eve.
  • This sparked a debate months before the release: players said that this was the alternative to heroines in Western games, which have been specially designed in recent years so that they do not correspond to any unrealistic ideal of beauty.
  • With further contributions and features such as the “Skin Suit”, in which the heroine Eve is played practically naked, the fire of the debate was continually fueled. There was very little criticism of Stellar Blade – the criticism was directed at the Western developers and the Western games press, who allegedly developed or wrote without the wishes of the players.

    • But let’s see if there really is an outrage against Stellar Blade:

    “The perfect action game” shines with graphics, sound and a great world

    These are the positive tests now:

    The full score, 5 out of 5 stars, is given by Eurogamer Germany, who praise the game highly as a “perfect action game”. The combat system is varied, the bosses are imaginative and the soundtrack is wonderful.

    Dotesports gives it 90%, and the sound and graphics are also praised here. The world also gets a bonus star.

    In the game’s homeland, the huge magazine Inven is also satisfied with Stellar Blade and speaks of a “beautiful action game” that combines fast combat with the excitement of a Souls-like.

    Boring characters and a mediocre story are criticized

    What do more critical tests say? The international edition of IGN gives it 70% and says the game suffers from boring characters, a mediocre story and frustrating RPG mechanics. But be strong in the most important elements of an action game.

    GamesRadar calls the game more ambitious than expected, but also more unwieldy. As if you have to take it as it is or enjoy the weird sexual facade.

    PC Games gives 70% and judges: The game loses compared to masterpieces, but is not a bad choice.

    Is the game controversial? No, not actually. The assumed “outrage” of the Western games press over the highly sexualized protagonist does not materialize. In any case, in order to find criticism that you could be upset about, you had to look very carefully.
