Very much like Nier Automata. Relaxing and intense at the same time.

Studio Monaca did the scores for both Nier games and Stellar Blade. SB has different composers but the DNA is all over it.

Agree on your story theory. If you explore Xion, you’ll find lots of posters and propaganda of people with conspiracy theories about both Mother Sphere and Oracle, as well as statist propaganda telling people to fall in line. I’m guessing they all end up having their own malevolent intents and there’s no real good faction. I mean ffs, oracle has to end up evil because his room looks like a giant boss room and they wouldnt have his bodyguard look that badass and not have him be a boss fight Still drip feeding story where I’m at, though it doesn’t seem like they’re trying to conceal anything given all the collectibles arguing for every side. Guessing the real twists come later



Also, I spoke too soon regarding difficulty, there’s a pretty substantial difficulty spike once you get to the area after the wasteland. Enemy timings become trickier and they hit like trucks. I beat the living frick out of the 2nd Alpha though
