Stellar Blade, released exclusively for PlayStation 5, receives very positive reactions from users. According to user reviews on Metacritic, the game was rated by more than 1,000 players over the weekend, and although it caused controversy in the gaming world, the game was a success.
Stellar Blade became the third highest scoring game of PlayStation 5
Currently, this game is currently the third highest-rated game on PS5. Although the scores the game received from critics are generally positive, it has become a phenomenon among users. Against an average critic score of 82/100, Stellar Blade’s user score was determined as 9.1. This is an indication that players find the game almost perfect.
However, it is debatable how important Stellar Blade’s user reviews on Metacritic are. In the past, Metacritic’s user rating system has often been inadequate to counter review bombing or attempts by critics to inflate the scores of games that have received negative reviews. Still, developers and publishers in the gaming industry consider Metacritic scores to evaluate gamer feedback.
As noticed by Forbes, Stellar Blade’s Metacritic user scores have surpassed other popular games. It is a remarkable achievement that it exceeds the scores of major productions such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarok. However, it is unclear how much these high user scores affect sales. While in some cases high scores can increase sales, in other cases it may be difficult to establish a direct relationship between user ratings and sales.

Stellar Blade has also been the subject of some controversy. The fact that some of the costumes of Eve, the main character of the game, covered her cleavage caused reactions among some players. This led to a series of “Free the Stellar Blade” campaigns among the game’s community. These campaigns appear to have been used as a means of pressuring the game’s developer, Shift Up, to roll back the changes.
Some argue that this openness serves the society’s perception of beauty too much and that those who design this game and those who enjoy playing it are “adolescents” since the female body does not actually look like this.
Despite all these controversies, Stellar Blade has a large fan base among players and it is clear that it has had a very successful debut on PlayStation 5. What are you thinking? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
