IGN, a top game journalism site, criticized the developers of Stellar Blade for having an attractive main character without holding back in their comments.
Here's what they said:
A Body based on a real woman's scan
The review barely touched on gameplay and resorted to personal attacks on the developers. Interestingly, Eve's body is based on a real woman's scan.

And if IGN'd critiqued Eve's character compared to Bayonetta or 2B, it might've been more constructive. Instead, they focused on her appearance.
Eve and Aloy in Horizon series
Aloy from the Horizon series is an example of a character who looks average but is still appealing. Some find her attractive in certain shots, and describing her as "fat and ugly" is not fair.
Eve from Stellar Blade is beautiful and has an anime-like face, which is perfectly fine. Having both designs can attract different audiences, but ultimately, the game's quality is what matters most to us.
While controversy can be entertaining, who else prioritizes the game's quality over character design?
