The premise, in the publisher's words
At the start of the 22nd century, the AI known as Mother Sphere was created to advance humanity, but the arrival of monstrous creatures called Naytibas drove humans from Earth. From their orbital sanctuary, the Colony sends elite soldiers to reclaim the planet. Eve, a soldier from the 7th Airborne Squad, is the sole survivor of a failed operation. Rescued by Adam, a scavenger who remained on Earth, she reaches Xion, humanity's last city. As Eve hunts Alpha Naytibas to locate the Elder Naytiba, she uncovers a disturbing truth: the "humans" from the Colony are synthetic beings called Andro-Eidos, created by Mother Sphere to replace the original humans, and the Naytibas are what real humans…

How it was received
Stellar Blade holds a critic score of 86 out of 100. That places it above 86% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2024 averaged 76, so it scored 10 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 84, across 169 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 27.3 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 44.8 hrs, roughly 1.6 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $44.99, that works out to about $1.65 per hour of the main story, or $1.00 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-7600k Processor / AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600X Processor, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 75GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
