With the imminent release of Sword Star, the game's global rating is also close, with a current Metacritic overall score of 82 and a total of 106 ratings, of which 92 give positive reviews, 14 give medium reviews, and no negative reviews. Most of the reviews praised Sword Star's combat system, while maintaining excellent graphics while maintaining performance, and Digital Foundry also praised the game's optimization, saying that it offers something almost flawless within the scope of its ambitions with Unreal Engine 4. However, the point of negative reviews is also very concentrated, that is, the story and character creation of the game are very monotonous.
VGC：4/5
For those who want God of War: Ragnarok to be more challenging or Bayonetta's more combat-oriented, Sword Star is the perfect addition. The game offers a refreshing twist on the traditional action formula. The overall combat process of the game is very satisfying, more weighty than the Platinum Studios combat design, and has stunning visuals. However, the story of the game itself is not brilliant, and the dialogue of the show is very unremarkable.
GodisGeek:9/10
For action gamers who like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry, there may be a lot to explore and discover, and the game is a surprising, exciting, and elegant adventure from start to finish. The game itself has a great combat system, and at the same time has a game world where you can do a lot of things. However, the game's story is not very good, and some of the settings are somewhat similar.
GameRant：4.5/5
With its exhilarating combat and memorable boss battles, as well as lots of custom content, Sword Star plays like an easy-to-play wolf. However, the story, dialogue, and character development of the game itself are as bland as B-movie, and the game's side quests are boring.
PushSquare：8/10
Sword Star is clearly the debut of a sophisticated home console game from a rising developer. With a counter-attack combat system, exquisite art design, and a moving music, PS5 players finally know what a return to the basics of PS5 games really looks like. However, poor English voice acting, unreasonable story pacing, and bland side lines are still areas that the developers need to improve.
IGN:7/10
Sword Star is a gorgeous and well-crafted action game with impressive strengths and significant drawbacks. The game's story and characters lacked substance, and the role-playing elements were not well implemented, such as boring side quests that required players to replay past levels. However, the game's action system makes up for most of its shortcomings, thanks mainly to the solid foundation of the wolf-inspired combat system.
GamesRadar+：3.5/5
"Sword Star" has satisfying gorgeous battles and scenes, and the cute characters also make up for the storyline at a glance. However, clunky controls, unintuitive mission design, and repetitive enemies and environments are areas that need improvement. Of course, aside from these shortcomings, players can experience 20 to 30 hours of fun.
