You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you're, but you're one in a million
'Cause you've got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes, yeah
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes
(So sad)
(Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it)
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes

>Doesn't get punished for shooting up innocent civilians in a different country.
>The Mexican government doesn't kick up a fuss.

>General Shepard gets kidnaped despite him being a well known General that the US would pick up real quick.

>Makarov being a genetic Saturday morning cartoon villain that has zero character motivation outside from "I am bad man that just blows random building up. Can you tell that I am a bad human being because I like to shoot at my own people?

A fuckin 13 year old wrote this storyline


Also fuck Open-Combat missions.

I'm slightly torn. On the one hand, some of the best action game combat I've seen period, maybe only behind DmC 5, with some stellar (hah) bosses in the second half. On the other hand, a really forgettable, very badly written story accompanied by stilted voice work that really brings down the experience and often some boring art design.

I'd probably say this is overall on par with Jedi Survivor from last year, with Stellar Blade having much better combat and Jedi Survivor having a much more enjoyable story.

That being said, with Lies of P last year and this now, Korean development teams are on an absolute winning streak. Very eagerly anticipating ShiftUp's next crack at an action game.

Despite my complaints I can't deny I had an absolute blast getting through this,
7.8/10

This game is full of SOUL.

+ Stellar art direction
+ Stellar vibes
+ Stellar combat
+ Stellar Bosses
+ Stellar Soundtrack
+ Stellar presentation
+ Stellar performance and optimization
+ Fun dress up game tbh
+ Puzzle Variety
+ Rule of Cool the whole way through

- Fairly mediocre storytelling and characters, but the actual world and story is still cool in concept.
- One of the final boss options is pretty lame compared to the other, its also the only boss in the game that felt slightly buggy. Kinda weird. The other boss is SUUUUPER rad though.
