Now is a good time to get it with photo mode and a Nier Automata collab coming soon
CamelCamelCamel.
Awesome game. I'm playing it right now.
How many hands
The correct answer is none
Same. Its decent.
Damn is this really as low as it’s gotten since launch?
They didn't make that many physical copies because they didn't think it'd sell that well
Surely economy of scale doesn't apply that much to something so simple lol. Idk could be wrong.
Waiting for < $80
Oz… Bargain?

Had to make sure I was still signed-in to the right site.
Good game. Not $99 good, but still good.
It’s actually $129 good.
This and Black Myth are the perfect mix of difficult but without the more frustrating game mechanics of any Fromsoft game.
not really. fast move and farming is a huge pain….
I loved the game. But I don't think it was as good as it could be.
I am a major Souls fan so that could have impacted my like of the game. But I am currently playing Black Myth Wukong and it's currently my GOTY. I don't think Stellar Blade is near that level.
I'm sure I paid less than this for it at launch months ago. Strange deal.
Strange in that it really isn't a deal
Gone are the days….
$99 and it's a bargain?!?!?!?!
Copypasta of my review for this game:
"This game unfortunately has been covered by controversy but it's a solid game, I've finished the game and really enjoyed it.
Stellar Blade - are you after a combat game between hack and slash and souls like game where you feel badass and at the same time feel like you are not button mashing? This is your game.
Platforming part of the game weak though.
Story has been criticised as weak or non-existent but I argue it's there as side quest. Is it as good as Nier Automata? No, director acknowledged he is not good at storytelling but I have to say I was surprised. Nier Automata is a masterpiece but I don't think Stellar blade is any bad either. Stellar blade story wasn't jaw dropping but it does leave some philosophical questions for you to ponder. That's why I would argue there is no good or bad ending.
Music wise, it's nier automata + replicant level personally. Maybe doesn't reach the same highs but I think on average it's better.
Graphics wise, well, that's controversial.
I played Korean dub with English sub and I got a PS5 for this game after watching the two BTS interview with the game director on how he created the game, with clay to model enemies and bosses as well as his interview with Yako Taro (director behind Nier series). No regret buying a PS5 for this game.
If you have not played Nier Automata or Nier replicant, could potentially add those too but those are PS4.
tl;dr great combat and amazing music (S tier). Overall, a joy to play and felt badass with combat without it being a cakewalk. Bosses were a great joy to fight against and new updates allows you to fight any bosses in a boss rush mode.
Weak: story not as amazing as nier but I think it's pretty solid if you look beneath the surface. Platforming not great.
Final note: my gosh, what a great variety of enemies and bosses! And really fun parry, witch time equivalent for perfect dodge, dash behind enemies for their blue circle attacks, backflip to expose their weak spot for their purple circle attacks.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk"
This review is 100% spot on with how I feel about the game. Combat and soundtrack are absolutely amazing. Platforming sections are my only minor gripe.
How come $99 is a good deal…?
I waiting for this game to be at most $60. The publishers know that if a game is received well by the critics and the audience they can keep the price high for months and months now. This is because there are far less titles at the triple A tier releasing so less competition. It's also Sony wanting to be Nintendo with the pricing structure but Switch games aren't $110 (yet) so it's a bit too much.
Not worth it at this price.
Under $40 is what it’s worth
