Very fun, but ultimately a very mixed bag.
The 'gooner game' criticism is absolutely fair; the vast majority of EVE's outfits range from 'sexy' to 'practically pornographic' while the only male 'main' character wears a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trashbag in every outfit variation. I would forgive Stellar Blade a great deal if Adam were as aggressively sexualized as EVE and Lily, a character *whose in-game database entry stresses that she's not a kid even though she looks like one*. She's also annoying as ♥♥♥♥ every time she opens her mouth. Meanwhile, the soundtrack is repetitive as hell and mediocre at best, the dialogue is poorly-written (in English at least), and it doesn't feel great that before the endgame, pretty much every zone has a clone. You've got two short, linear, post-apocalyptic, urban zones that are semi-flooded and in the process of being overgrown, two open-area desert wastelands, that get very boring to run laps around, and two obnoxious labs-overrun-by-test-subjects horror sequences that force you into ranged-only for no better reason that I can see than the devs wanting to do a Resident Evil homage. The story, meanwhile, is incredibly simple; I honestly believe any reviewer who's impressed by Stellar Blade's story just doesn't know the science fiction genre. It's not bad, it's just basic and unoriginal.

With that said, It's also gorgeous, fun, and knows exactly what it is. It steals shamelessly from several great pieces of sci-fi, *because they're worth stealing from*. Also, don't be fooled: this is a dress-up game with outfits locked behind hack-and-slash soulslite action. Every frame is beautiful, and the photo mode is absolutely great. There's dozens of outfits in the base game, with subsequent playthroughs unlocking all colour variants, plus hairstyles and accessories. Combat looks phenomenal when you master it, and being able to pop into photo mode to capture the counter-attack you just landed on a boss is super satisfying.

TL;DR- If you want to ♥♥♥♥ up necromorphs as God's own magical girl with jiggle-physics to get you through the low-points (fishing), this is the game for you.
Can you really hate a game where your sword becomes a hair ornament when you're not in combat?

I broke my F12 key

SCREW DENUVO, i got high FPS but there's always fps drop here and there
I expect more for a game that published by sony like their other title (ghost of tsushima, god of war) what is clear if i know the game like this from the start i won't play it, glad i play through steam family share so it's free. The game main story only 20 hours but side quest padding make it 55 hours and it's not even good, if the main story at least better and not leaving on cliffhanger for the confirmed sequel i won't give this negative review

Ubisoft quality (mediocre storyline, uninspiring and repetitive world that most of them are sands, weak side quest) + the combat while great but don't have any aerial battle, it feels like hack and slash with parry and dodge + great characters design, i like EVE as character she is interesting but the character expressions are bad that only nod... + Clearly mobile first developer (nikke) because there's so many plothole, useless information, unpolished stuff on everything

If you want to play korea game like this one i suggest try Lies of P first instead
