I don't understand why none of the reviewers admit this is better than both Nier games, from a gamplay standpoint. Lets be real nier thrives of story, characters, lore. This game has actual fantastic GAMEPLAY. Where this game lacks in story and originality, it makes up for it with its' beauty, gameplay and exploration.

Alos don't sleep on the sidequests.... it's all just incredibly well done.

budge, baby, you have to pick your battles. both games acceled on its own direction.

it is actually impressive how Stellar Blade scaled up from indie small size game to this end product.

Nier Automata is amazing and when this game is compared to it, it just shows how good Stellar Blade is and how media is full of bullshit.

40-50 hours seems right. It’s all slander then.
The 13 hrs is for straight rushing through the story and that too if you know what are doing in combat, but for the last sequence of bosses you require the burst skills and tachy mode otherwise you will get curbstomped if you dont have good reflexes for pulling off multi parries. Maybe IGN played on story mode with the assists :ROFLMAO:

I’m 29 hours in and have not completed the game. I still have lots of missions and trophies to go.

Anyone here who completed the whole game in 20 hours?

I am currently fighting
Tachy
. Not sure how far along that makes me in the game. I am not doing ANY side missions. 13 hours in.

'To understand how a certain contingent of prospective Stellar Blade fans decided to make her outfits their cause de jour, it’s important to understand the low-key gamergate 2.0 revival Kern and others have been attempting in recent months. In March, narrative consultancy firm Sweet Baby, Inc. became the target of an anti-DEI crusade over made up associations between their work on recent blockbusters and the things in them some people didn’t like.

Ever since, various social media posters and content creators who seem to think there are too many Black characters in games and not enough half-naked female avatars running around have attempted to gin up a new war on “wokeness” in gaming that mirrors conservative backlash movements in other parts of the culture. Many latched onto Stellar Blade as an example of a game free of top-down “forced” diversity, fueled in-part by Shift Up’s promise that the game would remain “uncensored” in all regions.' 🙄
