IGN Preview: Phantom Blade Zero Might Be This Year's Most Stylish Action Game

After six hours of hands-on play, IGN says S-GAME's Phantom Blade Zero has the smoothest and most satisfying action since Sekiro, with tight parries, distinct weapons, and plenty of optional bosses, side quests, and hidden areas. The preview also notes infrequent but fairly severe framerate drops on a capable PC, and that the game launches only on PS5 at the end of this month. The story was only seen through first-act setup, so its payoff remains unclear.
