Is Tides of Annihilation Better Than Stellar Blade?
2024 saw Stellar Blade falling short in many Game of the Year lists, yet it’s showing promising signs as a future cult classic. Critics have found issues with its narrative, open-world exploration, and character design, but they can’t deny that its thrilling, intense combat is a standout feature.
The game’s story may seem like a watered-down version of NieR:Automata‘s philosophical odyssey, but it still manages to exude an endearing appeal. This charm stems from its captivating music and art design, which create a polished, glamorous blockbuster adventure.
As for its successor, Tides of Annihilation, early indications suggest it could follow a similar path.
