Scarlet Nexus - Review

 Genre: RPG
Developer/publisher: Bamco.
Platform: PS4/5/PC.
Official Site:
Release date: 25-06-2021.
 
I bought this game on a sale a while ago, this goes on sale quite often
and for that price I couldn't say no! since I wasn't sure what to play
till something else interested me I decided to work on my backlog
before adding more to it and honestly it feels better to look at what
you have instead of adding one more game to it from yet another sale.
 
I'm mostly positive about scarlet nexus, while I had a few minor gripes here and there
I enjoyed this game a lot more than the previous dumpster fire that I sat through! 

Pro's
- Good story and great cast of characters.
- Bond episodes are fun and definitely worth doing as you play the game.
- Combat was good but can get repetitive...
- BGM.

Con's
- 80% of the scenes are told like skits, it very obvious they had a budget.
- Late game dungeons were too long and felt different from the pacing early on.
(Its like they finally paid their dungeon designer or something...)

 
This game has two scenarios with different MC's and from what I read before playing
you're basically forced to play it twice for the full picture, I decided to start with Yuito
first since that's who everyone seems to recommend. It takes place in a post-apo
setting about a bunch of kids that're part of a gaurdian corpse that protect citizens
from weird creatures. Not a lot of things made sense at first but as I played
through the game most of my questions were answered! and when I finished
for some reason I didn't feel the need to go through Kasane's route atleast not right away.
 
More rambles after the jump. I don't think there are any real spoilers in this post
atleast not those that are about the plot, I do talk about the characters a little but nothing major.
