Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Stellar Blade, and the big question on everyone’s mind is: “Is it a Souls-like?” I decided to grab the game and dive in to see for myself. Here’s how it went down.
Fired up the game
First things first, I booted up the game. The graphics? Absolutely stunning. Seriously, it looks amazing.
Got a feel for the combat
I jumped straight into the action. I started swinging my sword, dodging, and parrying. It felt… familiar, but not quite like the Souls games I’m used to.
Checked out the difficulty settings
Then, I poked around in the settings. And guess what? There’s an easier difficulty mode! I tried it out, and yep, it’s definitely more forgiving than your typical Souls-like.
Explored the world some more
I spent some time just running around, taking in the sights, and fighting some more bad guys. The level design felt less punishing than the Souls game for sure. It was more like a straightforward action game.
My verdict
So, is Stellar Blade a Souls-like? Not really. I mean it, the combat is challenging for sure, but it’s more like an action RPG. It’s got that fast-paced action, sure, but with a bit more leeway for mistakes.
Final thoughts
- Great visuals: Seriously, this game is eye candy.
- Intense action: Combat is fun and engaging.
- Accessible: That easier difficulty option makes it more welcoming to players who want a challenge, but not brutal.
It’s been a blast playing it, and it seems like other players feel positive too. I went and had a look to be sure, and they really are. Hope this helps you figure out if it’s your kind of game!
