The game

You play EVE, sent from a space colony to reclaim Earth from the Naytiba, creatures that ravaged the planet. The game combines fast melee combat (combos, parries, dodges), boss fights and exploration of ruins. According to reviews, this complete edition puts the game and its additional content on the Switch 2 cartridge, including the NieR:Automata and GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE collaborations.

What the press says (Switch 2 reviews)

A port seen as a success. GameSpew (9/10) says it remains a must-play for action fans. Worthplaying (8/10) calls it a good port of a solid game, with great combat, polished presentation on Switch 2 and a standout soundtrack. The Outerhaven (4.5/5) praises the full content on cartridge, the combat, exploration and accessibility options, with handheld mode at 720p and 30 to 60 frames per second. Nintendo Life (7/10) sees a “good enough” port that stretches the Switch 2 to its limits, and recommends it for its combat and exploration.

Caveats: Nintendo Life and Worthplaying report input lag from frame generation, which hurts parries; Nintendo Life suggests turning it off (around 40 frames per second) and notes sometimes disappointing visuals. The Outerhaven points to pop-in, load times and a weaker story, a view shared by Worthplaying and Nintendo Life.

Scores and prices

All four reviews cover the Switch 2 version. As of 11 November 2026, the complete edition costs €59.99 on the Nintendo eShop (Switch 2) and €99.99 on the PlayStation Store (PS5). On Steam, Stellar Blade (PC) costs €69.99; its content is not necessarily identical to the complete edition.
