Review Roundup For Stellar Blade
Developer Shift Up's Stellar Blade is right around the corner, introducing itself as a character-action game in a sci-fi story starring Eve, a human arriving in a futuristic depiction of Earth filled with all sorts of monsters to take down. If you tend to pay more attention to combat set pieces than story beats, this is a game that should be on your radar.
