#10. STELLAR BLADE
Coming from an unknown studio with no experience in AAA development, yet still bearing all the flash and visual flair that you’d expect from a major console release, Stellar Blade was on more than a few radars long before it even came out, and when it did finally come out earlier this year, it thankfully managed to live up to expectations- if not even surpass them. Flashy and stylish combat that boasts an impressive amount of depth and challenge, a cavalcade of excellently designed enemies and set piece bosses that are an absolute joy to fight, and a refreshingly focused approach to game design- with all of this an more, Stellar Blade adheres to more old school game design philosophies in the best way possible.
