Stellar Blade's Metacritic user score is setting records on PS5.
Stellar Blade launched to favorable critic reviews when it dropped last week. In our review, ComicBook said it"boasts some surprisingly involved combat systems and fantastic creature designs all in a relatively compact experience" and gave Shift Up's action-adventure game four out of five stars. Even with critic reviews being largely positive, the fan scores are coming in even higher.
Stellar Blade Metacritic User ScoreAs of this writing, Stellar Blade's Metacritic user score is sitting at 9.2 for the PlayStation 5 version of the game. At one point, its score crept up to 9.3, but it's come down slightly. That said, it's still among the highest user scores a PS5 game has received to date, putting it ahead of hit games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
That all being said, it's sometimes hard to know how much stake to put into user scores. After all, these are largely anonymous and often subject to brigading. However, that issue often works the other way, as players will hammer a game with poor scores in an attempt to"review bomb" a game they don't like. Stellar Blade might be getting the opposite treatment from players championing the game following some of the controversy around censorship.
What's Next for Shift UpWith Stellar Blade under its belt, Shift Up is ready to move on to new projects. The team will continue to provide support for their recent release and likely drop a few patches over the next few weeks and months, but Shift Up has already started to staff up for whatever's coming next.
Early last month, listings were spotted on Shift Up's website confirming that the team is hiring for its next project. The listings confirm that the studio's next title will be an action RPG in an urban sci-fi setting. Shift Up's next game will also be a multiplatform release, with the listings mentioning PC and consoles.
