I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Stellar Blade is continually getting updates and adding more of what players want, Eve outfits. This time, it’s aThe first new outfit is “Destroyed Denim” and can be purchased from Roxanne’s shop in town. I may be forgetting but this seems like a brand new outfit rather than a reskin of an existing outfit.
The same goes for the second new outfit, which is given out when you beat the Raven Boss challenge on hard. I think this is a variant of the magician outfit added in the last patch. In any case, the casual denim one is better.Past that, you can now change Eve’s hair through the menu rather than manually traveling to the hair salon each time, which was the only cosmetic change that required such a trek, so that’s cool.
It’s a small patch, just 1.9 GB in size, though it does not contain something that fans had been hoping for, photo mode, as if there was ever a game designed for one, it’s this. SHIFT UP has said they are working on one, but it appears it may take some time.
Controversies aside, Stellar Blade is probably my favorite…full game of the year? My other top choices are Diablo 4 season 4 and Destiny 2’s Final Shape, but that’s a live season and an expansion specifically. Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree, out in a few days, will also be an expansion. But yes, the game I gave an 8/10 to but managed to put 50 hours into has really stood the test of time these past few months.
While I doubt Stellar Blade will end up in GOTY contention or anything, it’s a pretty impressive achievement, and SHIFT UP also deserves credit for forgoing microtransactions in a game thatcould have made bank with an outfit shop. But it seems they are in the “add free outfits” game for the long haul, another industry rarity.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
