As a modded Skyrim veteran, playing Stellar Blade has been a total blast.

I’ve sunk over 2,000 hours into Skyrim—mostly "researching" mods—so when my buddy told me I’d love this game, I didn't buy the hype. I actually thought my modded Skyrim waifus looked way better than EVE at first glance.

​But I’ll admit it: I was tripping. EVE is absolute top-tier. She just gets done dirty by the shitty lighting and angles in the menu.

​15 hours in and I’m down bad. The devs are absolute men of culture; they knew exactly what they were doing with those "refined" camera placements. Every frame is a feast. I’m so hooked on this "gameplay" that I literally cannot put the controller down.
