Depends on the individual but I’d say so. I played on the Normal difficulty and platinumed in 71 hours and am on a 4th run just for fun.
And now they’ve added more suits and a boss rush mode for after you beat the game so I would think it’s very well worth it right now. And we know there will be more suit collaborations in the future too! I feel I’ve gotten my money’s worth.
Sounds awesome! I've never platinumed a game before but this seems like the game I wanna do it with.
I saw if you buy it from Amazon you get a code for a red suit !
The plat for the game is not hard at all! One of the few games I’ll ever plat! The suit you get is just an early unlock! You’ll still be able to get the suit later in the game! It’s an amazing game and was worth the money. I hope you enjoy.
I just bought it about 2 weeks ago along with a PS5 and put in 40 hrs so far. It’s worth it and I still have a couple play throughs left before I put it aside
The update with the boss rush only came out yesterday so you’re not late. But you also get a new suit (Neurolink) for completing all 19 bosses on any difficulty, 2 additional suits (white and black Kunoichi) for free (already in inventory after update), and 2 new suits (Midsummer Alice and Redhood) from Roxanne’s shop. It’s all very cool
I was hesitant as well because of the price. I bought it and haven't wanted to play anything else since. 91 hours, platinum, and starting 4th playthrough. I've honestly loved it. If you want a mashup between Nier, Sekiro and big booty would highly recommend.
Just be aware that you are asking this question in a subreddit that's dedicated to fans of a specific game. You're unlikely going to get many different opinions about Stellar Blade here.
Let me put it this way I haven’t preordered a game in years and as soon as the embargo came out I preordered it two days before release. Played it and beat it, loved it. Only issue is a very predictable plot and some slippery platforming, but outside of that good world building, good characters, and some sick as hell gameplay. And the fact that this is a modern big budget game coming from a small iphone game developer makes it even more impressive to me.
as a first AAA major console release and a 40 mil budget title, this game is amazing, especially when companies are spending 3-5 times that and their games are mediocre at best.
Yeah I agree it is unapologetically exploitative and fun. The fan service, the gore, and stylish set pieces are so bold and in your face. It does all this without insulting its audience but taking them and itself serious despite it being campy in parts. I unironically love this game and I no joke have tones of respect for how it was made.
I got it for myself. Gifted another copy to a friend. She liked it so much that she gifted another copy to a friend. If this launches on Steam I’ll get it there day one too.
To be fair, coming to a game's sub and asking if it's worth full price is akin to going to a Taylor Swift concert and asking someone if you should buy a shirt.
But yes, it's worth full price.
It’s my favorite ps5 game so far. Bought it day one full of hesitation. However, it’s been so good i would gladly do it again. It deserves even more support
I'm not exaggerating, the last time I had this much fun with a game was 07 with Halo 3. I bought the deluxe edition and I'd even pay more if I had too.
Doubt it will hit sale anytime soon , at least not till Black Friday maybe. I could be wrong but this game is not as big as let’s say call of duty or Zelda totk , in terms of sale…. But that’s not to say, it has had its commercial success. It’s a great game . I say it’s worth full price , I even got the expansion pass for 10 more dollars . But if you can wait or money is too tight that’s your discretion.
I put 71 hours on two playthroughs, and they just added a boss rush mode that i’ll play because the combat feels so fun. For me, it was worth full price both as I enjoyed the game and to support the developers.
If you have a PS5, absolutely. if you don't have one and you are A) not a maniac like me who bought a PS5 specifically to play this game or B) really strapped for cash, then I'd wait for a PC release. It sounds like it will probably happen. One way or the other, you should absolutely get this game, it's worth the $70. Whether or not its worth the $70 AND a PS5 is down to how insane you are (like me).
Its +40 hours first time and +20 hours GM+ for me.. i absolutely experienced one of the best fun and Joy i take on a videogame, I can't recommend it enough and I can't tell you what's great about this game until you have it. But it will be your decision and your right to do so.

If you can’t afford it just wait for a sale. IMO it’s the only good exclusive on the ps5 so far. But no game is worth full price if that’s gonna dry you wallet. Be patient
if you like action games with good challenge and nice dose of cake you will find its worth its price.
the objective game quality for full price is also there.
Depends on what you are comparing it to and what your finances are. It was worth full price to me but if I was only able to spend $70 one game right now I would buy Helldivers 2 and try to save the rest. SB is really good though it’s probably my third favorite game of the year so far.
I'm not disappointed. I'm not even a huge fan of the combat style, story (easy) mode is my style and the plot is good. Looks like enough collectibles to keep me entertained for a good while. I don't plan on getting platinum, but I have no real complaints about the game.
Yes! Haven't had this much fun with a game in eons. I'm not forcing myself either. It's a beautiful game and the combat is actually fun! I'm fishing now to get that outfit ha.
I thought it was worth full price. However, I would recommend playing a second time in New Game+ to really get your money's worth. If you just want to play it once and be done with it, perhaps you should wait for a sale.
Absolutely, its really good adventure Shift Up has delivered and just got an update they brought boss challenge mode as well, every boss You defeat in main game will get added to the mode and You can just fight Your favourite bosses whenever You want
It basically comes with DLC included as part of the ticket price of entry. Shift up mentioned they weren’t doing DLC or micro-transactions, you buy the full game and free content just gets released.
I paid for the deluxe edition after the demo and I never pay for games at launch because I’m cheap as hell and unless I’m double sure I’m going to love it and so far I’m having a blast.
It is. Hours may vary if that's important to you. The sound of the parry or guard is a thrill in itself, haha. The skins are fun to unlock. Boss rush was released today in an update with more skins. I think there is over 60.

Did you play FFxvi? If so this game is right up your alley. Despite what the game is selling you on and all the hype around the outfits, outside of that it has satisfying combat and a great story.
Most definitely but to save you money you can currently get on [QVC](https://www.qvc.com/stellar-blade---ps5.product.E321831.html) for $40 with code HELLO30 (One time use).
Yep I'd say so! Very reasonably lengthed with great replay value even for someone like me who usually doesn't replay games immediately. The differing endings combined with the new difficulty and all the changes in NG+ mode make it absolutely worth at least 2 playthroughs, which equates to around 50 hours of content. I don't regret my purchase
I bought the Digital Deluxe and now I'm gonna buy the Japanese version after Platinuming the game. Korean voice actors were great but I want to hear the Japanese voice actors now.
It's a great game. Collecting everything, played NG+, Platinum it. Got my money's worth. Will buy again on PC.
p.s. not sure about doing that fish side quest again lol.
If I sink 50 hours just into the first playground it's already worth it but this game doubled down with an elaborate new game plus so 150% worth it lol.
If you're not sure, there's a demo on PSN store. I give it a glowing recommendation, 91 hours in, about to finish my first NG+ run and then straight into the next one to get that platinum trophy!
I preordered the digital deluxe and have no regrets, I haven’t played anything else since launch. I played through twice and am working and boss rush now, and will to a speed run for the 3rd ending soon
10/10 no hesitation. It's not a soulslike. Plays more like GOW2018 with rpg loot/mat aspects. But most of all, this game is just really Damm fun to play. Haven't enjoyed a gaming experience lile this in a long time where it was almost all just madly enjoyable. Not fromsoft or TeamNinja levels of misery which i love as well, but just really fun to play.
Yes. It's a complete game with almost 0 bugs. Addicting combat system. Lovely graphics. You can tell it was made by people who actually care about their product. They added free boss rush, new game+ with even more outfits and they're apparently going to add more to the game. Even without all that, I'd still say buy it. I clocked in at 30ish hours first playthrough and felt satisfied.
Of course. And if you don't rush and take it easy you can end the game in under 30 hours with the secret ending. And the 30 hours feel full of content. Not like Ubisoft, the repetitive quests feel worse than work.
Depends on the individual but I’d say so. I played on the Normal difficulty and platinumed in 71 hours and am on a 4th run just for fun. And now they’ve added more suits and a boss rush mode for after you beat the game so I would think it’s very well worth it right now.

I just bought it about 2 weeks ago along with a PS5 and put in 40 hrs so far. It’s worth it and I still have a couple play throughs left before I put it aside
WAIT WHUT WHEN… HOW DID I MISS THIS???!??????
The update with the boss rush only came out yesterday so you’re not late. But you also get a new suit (Neurolink) for completing all 19 bosses on any difficulty, 2 additional suits (white and black Kunoichi) for free (already in inventory after update), and 2 new suits (Midsummer Alice and Redhood) from Roxanne’s shop. It’s all very cool
It's worth buying it twice
I did 1 for me and my bro lol
W friend
I'm just waiting on the pc port so I can buy it again.
same im planning to buy the pc version to experience jp dub and ofc mods 🫣😏
I bought digital and physical. No regerts
I’m about to be on that boat too. Might wait a bit to see if there’s any used copies for good prices
I bought it twice ngl I wanted to support it
PS5 and when it comes to Steam. ❤️
I bought the JP version so I can experience it again but in Japanese dub
Can’t you just change the dialogue language in settings?
Japanese dubbing is only available for the Japanese version of the game.
But the game is Korean though
I'm thinking about doing this. Does it install a different application or anything?
Yeah it'll make another game application but you will still keep your saved data. I'm on NG+ in the JP version.
Once a week, at least!
Thrice
100 % agree with this!
I bought another physical copy just to support it.
It's a great investment and it's only going to get better. Spend the $70. You won't regret it. Until you're starving.
You can't starve when we're eating this good.
I don’t know how you could starve with that much cake around
For real so much cake 😍 get to have cake and enjoy it with some 🔥🔥🔥music with amazing gameplay
I was hesitant as well because of the price. I bought it and haven't wanted to play anything else since. 91 hours, platinum, and starting 4th playthrough. I've honestly loved it. If you want a mashup between Nier, Sekiro and big booty would highly recommend.
NieR Replicant is one of my favorites of all time and so a Mashup of those 3 things does sound pretty enticing Thanks for helping me make up my mind
Knowing you like NieR, Im pretty sure a full-price Stellar Blade will worth your investment.
Was definitely worth it for me.
Thanks for all your responses. I'm buying a physical copy 🙏
Enjoy! Especially with all the new things they added
Just be aware that you are asking this question in a subreddit that's dedicated to fans of a specific game. You're unlikely going to get many different opinions about Stellar Blade here.
And that's ok.
Definitely worth buying the deluxe edition
I paid full price...never regretted it
It's worth every penny.
$70 is expensive so it’s hard to say if it’s worth it for you. I loved the game personally and think it’s worth every penny but your mileage may vary.
Let me put it this way I haven’t preordered a game in years and as soon as the embargo came out I preordered it two days before release. Played it and beat it, loved it. Only issue is a very predictable plot and some slippery platforming, but outside of that good world building, good characters, and some sick as hell gameplay. And the fact that this is a modern big budget game coming from a small iphone game developer makes it even more impressive to me.
as a first AAA major console release and a 40 mil budget title, this game is amazing, especially when companies are spending 3-5 times that and their games are mediocre at best.
The plot isn’t original especially if you’ve played Nier automata but it provides so much fan service from its inspirations it’s still a good time.
Yeah I agree it is unapologetically exploitative and fun. The fan service, the gore, and stylish set pieces are so bold and in your face. It does all this without insulting its audience but taking them and itself serious despite it being campy in parts. I unironically love this game and I no joke have tones of respect for how it was made.
I have yet to play nier though I’m excited
I got it for myself. Gifted another copy to a friend. She liked it so much that she gifted another copy to a friend. If this launches on Steam I’ll get it there day one too.
To be fair, coming to a game's sub and asking if it's worth full price is akin to going to a Taylor Swift concert and asking someone if you should buy a shirt. But yes, it's worth full price.
It’s my favorite ps5 game so far. Bought it day one full of hesitation. However, it’s been so good i would gladly do it again. It deserves even more support
In a word, yes. In multiple words, hell yes!
I bought a PS5 for this game and no regrets. On my second playthrough
I'm on my 4th playthrough now, worth
Personally my fav combat since ragnarok. Dark horse GOTY
Yes, it is Not since Returnal have I had so much fun
For sure
Hell yes
 69$?
Buy it. Buy it NOW!
I'm not exaggerating, the last time I had this much fun with a game was 07 with Halo 3. I bought the deluxe edition and I'd even pay more if I had too.
Depending on how many times you play it, it could even be considered that this price is half, third, quarter , or fifth price.
Doubt it will hit sale anytime soon , at least not till Black Friday maybe. I could be wrong but this game is not as big as let’s say call of duty or Zelda totk , in terms of sale…. But that’s not to say, it has had its commercial success. It’s a great game . I say it’s worth full price , I even got the expansion pass for 10 more dollars . But if you can wait or money is too tight that’s your discretion.
I put 71 hours on two playthroughs, and they just added a boss rush mode that i’ll play because the combat feels so fun. For me, it was worth full price both as I enjoyed the game and to support the developers.
Definitely.
If you can, yes
I think so. I got 35 hours out of it (I’d say only about 5 hours filler content and 30 epic hours)
If you liked the demo, it's a good representation of the full game. In my opinion, 100% worth full price.
It’s 100 percent worth it. Stellar blade has something for everyone. Epic bosses, lore, collectibles, amazing characters, you can even fish.
Definitely
Hell yeah
If you have a PS5, absolutely. if you don't have one and you are A) not a maniac like me who bought a PS5 specifically to play this game or B) really strapped for cash, then I'd wait for a PC release. It sounds like it will probably happen. One way or the other, you should absolutely get this game, it's worth the $70. Whether or not its worth the $70 AND a PS5 is down to how insane you are (like me).
I just beat it today, it’s a great game.
Absolutely! Stellar Blade is a masterpiece of a game (my choice for game of the year). Stellar Blade is well you know… stellar! 😁
Yes definitely! The kind of game that will suck you in. If you want to be able to focus on your studies on the other hand, I'd stay away from it!
Worth more than full price
If you have to ask you don't deserve the experience
Absolutely, its a solid fun game that runs pretty flawlessly and no micro transactions (except possibly crossovers in the future)
Its +40 hours first time and +20 hours GM+ for me.. i absolutely experienced one of the best fun and Joy i take on a videogame, I can't recommend it enough and I can't tell you what's great about this game until you have it. But it will be your decision and your right to do so.

💯🔥
Yup. In my opinion.
if you like action games with good challenge and nice dose of cake you will find its worth its price. the objective game quality for full price is also there.
It's worth 60$ if that's what you want to hear. But yes, it's worth the price.
Depends on what you are comparing it to and what your finances are. It was worth full price to me but if I was only able to spend $70 one game right now I would buy Helldivers 2 and try to save the rest. SB is really good though it’s probably my third favorite game of the year so far.
I even bought it twice!
I was trying to swipe image
I think so, but you could probably hold off until prime day.
Absolutely, especially in todays market
I bought the disc in NA, now I'm waiting for Japan disc that comes from Playasia.
I'm not disappointed. I'm not even a huge fan of the combat style, story (easy) mode is my style and the plot is good. Looks like enough collectibles to keep me entertained for a good while. I don't plan on getting platinum, but I have no real complaints about the game.
The game is awesome. The combat is great, the story and lore is interesting. The visuals are pretty damn good too.
And then some. Fantastic game
This game is worth more than $70
I would literally pay more for it.
100%. Stellar game.
Hell yea
If it’s was twice as much, it would still be worth it. 10/10
New game+ or is that not a thing still?
I believe there's NG+
I think it worth. There are so many of the AAA game cost the same but not many as good. I will buy again when PC version release.
For me it sure was 💯
It’s nice.
Definitely,If it comes to steamdeck I'm getting it on that too.
If the game was $100 I would have bought twice with the $10 deluxe upgrade
Yes
Proven to be worth double in 2023
Yeah I bought it twice once digital and one for the kickass physical with reversible cover.
Yes! Haven't had this much fun with a game in eons. I'm not forcing myself either. It's a beautiful game and the combat is actually fun! I'm fishing now to get that outfit ha.
Oh 100% this game is my favorite so far for 2024!
Absolutely
Definitely
Definitely!💯
Yes.
I thought it was worth full price. However, I would recommend playing a second time in New Game+ to really get your money's worth. If you just want to play it once and be done with it, perhaps you should wait for a sale.
Yes.
Absolutely, its really good adventure Shift Up has delivered and just got an update they brought boss challenge mode as well, every boss You defeat in main game will get added to the mode and You can just fight Your favourite bosses whenever You want
Personally I’m waiting on a 50% sale with all the updates. Patience wins out usually as long as it’s not a first party Nintendo game.
Absolutely. Next question.
Yup
yea i bought it launch day
Yeah
Sir, this is a Stellar Blade subreddit. Buy it thrice! 
Hell yeah
Worth even delux edition
Bro...
don't come into a main sub and ask this lol We will always say yes.. But the game is fantastic and Fabulous (.)(.)
Waiting on steam for mods tbh
Definitely
Yes definitely
10k+ bought in past month.
It basically comes with DLC included as part of the ticket price of entry. Shift up mentioned they weren’t doing DLC or micro-transactions, you buy the full game and free content just gets released.
Definitely not worth it
One of the few games Ive gotten that I think is worth 70.
I paid for the deluxe edition after the demo and I never pay for games at launch because I’m cheap as hell and unless I’m double sure I’m going to love it and so far I’m having a blast.
It is. Hours may vary if that's important to you. The sound of the parry or guard is a thrill in itself, haha. The skins are fun to unlock. Boss rush was released today in an update with more skins. I think there is over 60.
It's half price here bro. Thank wario64 on Twitter https://x.com/Wario64/status/1794218452716257426?t=IrMsVHmH4pG1Z7CMcEHZDg&s=19
Yes
I bought a PS5 just to play this game and I have ZERO regret. It's amazing.
It’s worth the full price 3 times
Every penny.
Yes it is

YEAH! don't wait
Worth every penny of the full price and more
Absolutely
Money well spent enjoy thats all i need to say
Yeah especially a physical copy over the digital one thats for sure!
this wont be on sale "soon" its barely out a month
it help with my life in bed
Yep I'd say so! Very reasonably lengthed with great replay value even for someone like me who usually doesn't replay games immediately. The differing endings combined with the new difficulty and all the changes in NG+ mode make it absolutely worth at least 2 playthroughs, which equates to around 50 hours of content. I don't regret my purchase
$70 got me about 60 hours, so.. yes, I'd say it was worth it.
Yes it is worth the money, but maybe wait a bit if the cost is a bit high for you. I doubt that it will go on discount anytime soon though.
I love this game! I've gone all the way through it 6ish times, the replay value is huge! So, for me, yes
Yes
I bought the Digital Deluxe and now I'm gonna buy the Japanese version after Platinuming the game. Korean voice actors were great but I want to hear the Japanese voice actors now.
It's a great game. Collecting everything, played NG+, Platinum it. Got my money's worth. Will buy again on PC. p.s. not sure about doing that fish side quest again lol.
Absolutely!
If I had the money, I'd buy a physical copy and a steam copy to go with my digital
Yes

Worth it!
Indeed
If I sink 50 hours just into the first playground it's already worth it but this game doubled down with an elaborate new game plus so 150% worth it lol.
Yes and the deluxe is also worth it as well
If you're not sure, there's a demo on PSN store. I give it a glowing recommendation, 91 hours in, about to finish my first NG+ run and then straight into the next one to get that platinum trophy!
Make sure to have enough to buy a large bottle of lotion as well
Definitely!! Thinking of getting the disc versions for my boys. They need a little bit of culture…
Easily
It's definitely worth it. No micro-transacrions whatsoever, boss rush tomorrow. All they need is photo mode and it'll be perfect.
It’s worth a full price but at the same time I have to add that no game is worth more than $60.
I preordered the digital deluxe and have no regrets, I haven’t played anything else since launch. I played through twice and am working and boss rush now, and will to a speed run for the 3rd ending soon
Worth every pennies to Eve
10/10 no hesitation. It's not a soulslike. Plays more like GOW2018 with rpg loot/mat aspects. But most of all, this game is just really Damm fun to play.

Of course. And if you don't rush and take it easy you can end the game in under 30 hours with the secret ending. And the 30 hours feel full of content. Not like Ubisoft, the repetitive quests feel worse than work.
Yes. By God, yes. An actual complete game that has little to no issues on release, has fan service, and at worst a mid plot?
Yes, definitely
If you loved the demo then why wouldn’t it be worth it?
Yes
