"It's nice to look at beautiful women": Japanese media praises Stellar Blade for sexualization

A few days before the release of the slasher film, Stellar Blade came under a barrage of professional critics, journalists and activists. The game began to be accused of excessive objectification of the female body due to the presence of an attractive main character and revealing costumes. Some Western publications even downgraded the game because of this. However, Japanese journalists have a completely different view of the games. They appreciate fun gameplay and beauty, even in female characters.

Many Japanese media were absolutely delighted with Stellar Blade. Journalists praise the combat system, interesting plot and music, giving the Korean slasher the highest marks. Separately, the materials also mention the sexualization of girls in the game, which is recorded as a big plus for a modern big-budget game.

According to Japanese journalists, the character designs in Stellar Blade really highlight the special beauty of the female characters. Unlike many projects where they are shy about this, in the action they openly allow you to enjoy the beauty of the heroes, which, according to media representatives, is worthy of special praise.
