Stellar Blade, which is exclusive to PlayStation 5, is receiving 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 successful.
Stellar Blade is the third highest rated game on PlayStation 5
It is currently the third highest rated game on the PS5. While the game’s scores from critics have been generally positive, it has become a phenomenon among users. Against an average critic score of 82/100, Stellar Blade has a user score of 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 fallen short against review bombardments or attempts by critics to inflate the scores of games that have received negative reviews. Nevertheless, developers and publishers in the gaming industry do take Metacritic scores into consideration to assess player feedback.
As noticed by Forbes, Stellar Blade’s Metacritic user scores have surpassed other popular games. It is a remarkable achievement, especially surpassing the scores of big titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarok. However, it is unclear how much these high user scores affect sales. In some cases, high scores can boost sales, while in other cases it may be difficult to establish a direct correlation between user scores and sales.
Stellar Blade has also been the subject of some controversy. Eve, the main character of the game, had some of her costumes covering her cleavage, which caused a backlash among some players. This led to the launch of a series of “Free Stellar Blade” campaigns among the game’s community. These campaigns appear to have been used as a means of pressure on Shift Up, the game’s developer, to reverse the changes.
Others argue that this openness serves society’s perception of beauty too much, and that those who designed and enjoy the game are “adolescents” because this is not how the female body really is.
Despite all this controversy, Stellar Blade has a huge fan base among gamers and it’s clear that it’s had a very successful debut on PlayStation 5. What do you think? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
