Stellar Blade

Character models are great but the lack of facial expressions is uncanny. The opening level looks good in balanced mode but the next level (city) is fugly. HDR doesn't look great and there's a washed-out look in the city level (or too contrasty if you increase the contrast to eliminate the washed-out look).

Gameplay is solid. I like the level of difficulty in story mode. Timing for blocks is forgiving.

How long was the demo for you?
 
Finished the demo in balanced mode. Something feels off about the whole thing visually. Film grain, something I absolutely hate, is always on. HDR seems to be broken, low resolution background textures everywhere and Anti aliasing is very hit or miss. Outside of the main character models I don't see the visual appeal.

I’ll check it out tomorrow. I hope this doesn’t tank like Ronin.

That's a no go for me, will wait for a patch to fix this... and if no patch comes, no stellar blade for me.
 
I will say that the Boss Rush mode looks alot better than the story mode. Doesn't appear to have film grain in Boss rush for some reason and the Anti aliasing is better . Might be because there is less going on but it is what it is.

I think its going to sell well because of what it is. a visually appealing style over substance PS5 exclusive with very little competition around it.
