## Summary

Phantom Blade Zero is a stylish action adventure for PS5, centred on fluid, satisfying combat. The review praises its freedom of movement, varied weapons and inventive boss fights, calling it one of the console’s most gratifying action games.

Players control Soul, a warrior framed for his clan leader’s murder who has 66 days to live after receiving a tainted replacement heart. He travels across increasingly open areas in search of a cure and a way to clear his name. The review says the story is weakened by frequent flashbacks and tedious collectibles, which interrupt the fast pace.
