Sacred Symbols+, Episode 382 | Stellar Blade Review Discussion and Spoilercast (Patreon)

Pop a coin into a nearby vending machine, take a seat, and join us for a lengthy chat all about Stellar Blade, the new Sony-published PlayStation 5 game from South Korean studio Shift Up. It's me (Colin) writing this, but taking up today's hosting mantle is none other than Summon Sign's Brad Ellis, joined by familiar faces Dustin Furman, Gene Park... and myself. So, we've all beaten the game and lived to tell the tale. But what did we think of the experience? There's a lot to get to: Gameplay, story, characters, design, music, and more. But there are a lot of issues in Stellar Blade's orbit that also warrant investigation: Shift Up's unusual second party setup with Sony, South Korea's burgeoning AAA market, the potential of a sequel, and more. So take some time with us to explore the ins-and-outs of a remarkable PS5 exclusive that we highly recommend, and remember that spoilers are rampant within.
