    1º Es imposible jugarlo sin querer arrancarte los ojos. Mi ordenador tira perfectamente cualquier juego actual AAA pero con esta basura no mantiene FPS suficientes como para una mínima nitidez.

    2º Todo es antiguo, feo y tosco. Después de Woo Long o el mismo Elden Ring, este "soulLike" se siente como una broma, mas que como un juego.

    Unfortunately, I found Stray Blade to be lacking in several key areas. Firstly, the visual performance was subpar on PS5 heavy stuttering all the way and unimpressive graphics that detracted from the overall gameplay experience.

Firstly, the visual performance was subpar on PS5 heavy stuttering all the way and unimpressive graphics that detracted from the overall gameplay experience.

    In addition, the design of the game felt unpolished and uninspired, with uninteresting environments and unmemorable character designs. The combat system was clunky and unsatisfying, with little variation in moves or strategies.

    Furthermore, the variety of enemies felt limited and repetitive, with little distinction between them beyond cosmetic differences. And finally, the story was unengaging and failed to captivate my attention, with underdeveloped characters and a lack of compelling plot points.

    Stray Blade wants too much and fails to deliver most of it satisfactorily. You're better off playing Elden Ring again.

    Stray Blade attempts to revamp the soulslike formula by focusing on a polished narrative, a close-knit pair of protagonists, a colourful and light game world and a potentially excellent combat-system. Not everything, however, worked as planned.
