Won't give you a grand slap across the face, it's an unpolished game with little ambition. It just wants to give you a lot of stuff to explore (about 30 hours to 100% the map) and a nice, sometimes touching banter between characters along the way. It was clearly made with a lot of love, only the very end of it feels like something to be done with. Regarding the soulslite debate, allow me to explain: you can adjust difficulty in real time, putting it anywhere between "baby's first Zelda" - I mean don't give it to babies, it's pretty brutal - and "damage sponges kill you in one hit". This title has nothing to do with the design of a Souls game, but it does provide decent challenge if you put the mob's health and damage sliders somewhere around 1.5, and leave the poise sliders at Standard values. That way you actually can get killed and have an incentive to get parries in and practice your combos, but you will have enough wiggle room to power through the - many - animation glitches and won't end up stuck on even end game fights for more than a few minutes. Most mobs are just too inconsequential to take more of your time than this imo. All in all, it's a sweet little game if you've already combed through Horizons/Zeldas, Elden Ring and the like. Final point because I couldn't find anyone talking about it: the flying orbs across the map are teleport beacons that you eventually activate with an ability called Intium Flash. When you see two orbs linked by a blue beam, the farther one is generally impossible to lock on. You'll have to flash to the first one, then to the second in mid-air. Nothing will happen if you try to just stand under the closer one and press keys. Either I'm dumb or the game doesn't explain that clearly, so I lost a bit of time assuming these things were for an upgraded version of the skill. Until I just hit the thing like an angry ape, because that's the right thing to do.

Very enjoyable hidden gem! To get the bad out of the way, performance should be better relative to my hardware. No big deal, but I have to lower more settings than I should. Visually I find it very appealing, reminds me of good old Amalur. It´s not open world, but the hubs are big enough to make for rewarding exploration. Combat is challenging but fair. Fortunately other game mechanics, e.g. the progression, are not "souls-like". There is no harsh penalty for death, just retry and keep leveling up as you do. I like it when games respect my time. ;) Lots of different weapons to unlock, and the game makes you use each of them at least for a short while. Cut short, Stray Blade is a nice Action-RPG with a bit of Souls-DNA.

Was a fun game with great combat system. i really enjoyed the way skill point were used in mastering each weapon. my only disappointment was how short the game felt. i really don't understand why developers put a "point of no return" in these games. you do all of this work to make the world right and to never see how it all turns out. i would have liked to at least finish collecting everything without the insane storm after killing third boss.

Great game, superb combat system and exploration - love how the world changes around you as you progress. The level up system is nice and different, only thing holding it back is the technical performance, but nothing you cant resolve by tweaking the settings.

Excellent game with a good story. Loved the narrative and here and there some fps drops but really not bad. Awesome game with good progress and good story.
