How does Long get a rocket launcher? After each mission Graves and Long get upgrades to their equipment based on their performance. We preformed well enough to get a rocket launcher, which seems pretty good to us. Graves got something that wasn't a rocket launcher… increased damage? Whatever it was, it didn't explode.
The graphics in the game won't be melting your console down into a pile of goo, but they let you interact with the world in some cool ways. Some walls and objects can be shot through. That means you can punch a small hole through breakable wall to snipe through, or blast through boards enemies are hiding behind. And if you shoot a gas tank, it'll fly around the room with a trail of gas shooting out of the back before exploding - which is cool.

Stellar Blade director jokes the action RPG "is the outcome of my creative dictatorship," but "everyone pretends to listen to what I say whilst creating what they want"
I wish Stellar Blade's New Game+ was added before my first playthrough, because it sounds like a whole new action RPG with 34 new outfits and a bigger skill tree
