The New Action Adventure That Nobody is Talking About - Scars Above Review 

Forgot to talk about the performance. I played it on 4k medium setting, and the fps was pretty stable. If my PC can handle 4k with little to no issues, I would say the game is optimized well. What do you think about the game guys? Pass or play?

I interpret her lone narration as thinking out loud. We have the same instincts, she just vocalises it. I think it's to make the journey a little less lonely.

nothing beats linear third person shooters for me, and this looks like a very good AA title

I am definitely checking this out it’s nice to have a game that’s not open world filled with busy work and having to traverse an empty world.

It appears to be Tomb Raider in space.

This game is a breath of fresh air. Linear, short, to the point. I like this better than the games as a service model I see in other games.

This game reminds me of the rachni parts of mass effect trilogy. But I hate respawning enemies and don't like rolling around to dodge Damn you Dark souls for making every game do this now, even shooters ! ^^

Cool video. I never heard of this game before. It looks interesting.

I was veryy surprised by this game - loving it so far. I am stuck on a puzzle rn but plan on finishing it - and talking highly of it on my podcast!

Great review. Had no idea this game had even released. I do appreciate indie rpgs.

Been keeping my eye on this one since a Steam demo came out last year. Thanks for the awesome vid!

2:04 that black woman is in like every western game now, lmao

Love your videos man, keep them up!

i put dowmn $43 for a physical copy, took me 10 hours, it was good while it lasted but it has a HUGE problem, no replay value, no NG+ and the game deletes ur save when ur done....i missed 2 glitched trophies and i don't feel like playing it again now...maybe later, but it was good, has great idea, sadly it feels cheap in palces and has some of the worst lip sync in the history of video games.

Thanks for the review, looks cool!

Liked the demo, pre-ordered a steam key for cheap, waiting for the key to show up now.

it look like "we have returnal at home"

🙂 thank you for the review, looks good, i'll pick it up when its on a deep sale

Reminds me a lot of mass effect Andromeda. Even the main character looks like Sara Ryder!

Great Review!! Thank you very Much

It seems like it is Horizon Zero Dawn kinda in SF settings.🤔

So from this I take it's a good first attempt by a studio at making a triple A game.

I kinda prefer games that are outside in potentially sunny environments, as I feel trapped in doors where I live as it is lol I blame Ocarina for raising that bar! Ha ha! Looks funky though!

This looks like a a neat enough game. If they can expand on the gun elements, enemy variety, and puzzles, I think they could get something pretty good on their hands.

Another good video,cheers.😁👍

Somewhat reminds me of Returnal

i just dont know why all these devs think we all want a female character i cant get into a game any game as female it takes all the roll play away as i cant get into the game at all as female since im male and cant put myself in a protaganist shoes this way

I want the silent protagonists back, it destroyed so many games for me, breaks my immersion, when someone all alone, all the time talks with himself like an idiot, to tell me everything - "it looks like I can use this to hook on.", "This is a ... ", "I have to follow this coordinates, because..." and so on. I am not lobotomized, and it breaks my immersion all the time, it ruins games for me which I maybe could enjoy. But this constant blabbering, that disrespects my brain, makes my brain hurt.

What does everyone think of the "Avoid Roll" ability in these games? I don't like them myself but I really care to hear more people talk about it.

I'm more of a make your own character, sword shield and magic guy... EXCEPT for XCOM 1 and 2 those hit different.

isn't Kate the voice of Serana or whatever the Vampire boss' daughter is named in Skyrim?

Ahahahaa, WET COMBO!!! Considering that this is their first serious game, i can live with it. They definitely had limited budget.

I’m fine with more linear game play The “open world” model is exhausting. I couldn’t get through Breathe of the Wild cause I just got sick of it after awhile Games can be linear and fun and just leave so I can move on lol

Looks like price should be around $25 USD for 5 hours game with average graphics.

Looks like Returnal and Mass Effect

Looks pretty bad. I really hate it when your main character spoon-feeds you solutions to puzzles by talking to themselves whenever you're standing still for longer than 2 seconds. I don't enjoy being pushed along on a fixed roller coaster ride or walking simulator, shoved from content chunk to content chunk. I want to figure things out myself and play at my pace. If I can't figure out the puzzle then I will look it up *if* I care enough about your game.

Did you ever play Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy? It's an action adventure game on quake 3 engine with very solid combat, possibly the best lightsaber combat system up to this day. Despite this being my childhood I found out many people never heard about it for some reason.

is the dialogue linear as well or do you get dialogue options that will change the story? I don't mind linear levels, but linear stories bore me to death.

Loved it

Are there ANY special abilities in this game or is it just like 4 guns? Sounds very very limited.

Kind of has Remnant From the Ashes vibes, but lacking on the variety and likely replayability. Still may be worth giving a check if the price is right.

This looks straight from the ps3, and I can appreciate that.

Hey buddy, i just want to recommend a RPG that i discovered a few days ago that i think you will enjoy as much as i do, its Wigmund, i super recommend you to give a try

You should play and review more games,different genres.

Ahahah i cant believe he used the big shaq clip :)) i thought i was the only one that uses that as a meme. 10/10

When it comes to games holding your hand, I truly wonder if it is devs mindlessly mimicking what they see the AAA industry do and assume it will give it that "feel". Other than that, I can only assume they don't trust players or the research suggesting people aren't as smart as they used to be is being taken to heart and thus this emerging trend. People complain about no voice-acting, now we are getting too much for no valid reason.

Looks like a decent game but honestly don´t rly seems to hit any point im intrested in tho. Thanks for the content!

I bought it today and will try it out on my Steamdeck and Rig

Returnal from the Ashes

Has a Remnant from the Ashes feel, but not quite the same polish

Pretty cool and good looking game?! And I make games last days actually I don't play it in one day ie rushing

Been eagerly waiting for this since the demo. It’s sad that so many fools are just like “HUHU RETURNAL CLONE” even though it’s nothing like Returnal.

Looks fun enough.

Hm, I get strong Hunted: The Demon's Forge vibes from it, just sans a companion.

She's already better than forspoken char

I've seen a lot of people talking about it. :P

5:30 This is one of my only real gripes with Hogwarts Legacy- they won't just let you solve the puzzles. They constantly tell you what to do with the character talking as if no one can figure them out on their own

No one is talking about it because the marketing material was “Your tools are your weapon” while front loading a scene of the protagonist, and the whole thing was maybe six seconds long. This game will have poor sales solely due to the weak marketing.

I hate the player character tells you what to do mechanic. One of my least favorite modern gaming trends. Let me think about it, don't just tell me. A good compromise for a game like this would be to have something like a voice recorder, which you can chose to use or not. When you use it, then the character talks, but they don't speak to themselves otherwise.

Tako sine nema boljeg

Domaće, jašta more!

It reminds me Outriders little bit.

gamingbolt did a review on it, recommend their channel but your review is helpful too

The weapon control seems way harder on a controller or is it just me.Probably me.

This looks decent though a bit on the generic side. It is pretty similar to a recent obscure indie game named Earth's Shadow.

I am buying it when I save up some money. Need to support the local video game industry. I also bought Scorn which is another Serbian game. Video game industry is almost non existent here

exploring simulator

Writing and monologues (lol) in this game struck me as amateur-ish attempt to sound smart by saying banalities obfuscated by "smart" technobabble.

Is this Revnant?

Under $20 on PS Store right now.

Mass Effect meets Halo

The studios first "major" and big title. And they are from a country that notoriously hates new tech and progress. I know cus i live there. Its probably mid game, but trust me, these guys bled to get it out in the world

Ehhh

Entirely unremarkable.

Looks like Returnal art direction wise

This game just looks like warframe

how you got the game even before it released?

It Has only checkpoints system so should be stopped from release till they put there manual saves,for gods sake we are not on 90 's 🤮

The review is a bit heavy on story spoilers for me. I had to stop watching it after 3 minutes.

Would it hurt the production process to add character creation? I assume nothing about her sex or appearance makes any difference for the storytelling or the plot so yeah, this trend is tiresome. Thanks for the review, it looks enjoyable enough for one walkthrough.

The reason no one knows is the ones who do know it’s dolmen 2.0 and badly designed boss fights of which you fight the same creature multiple times then the final boss…….yet another copy paste just lazy

Gawddammit dodge roll! One of the stupidest thing in games. I hate it that much not gonna play a game where I need to roll on the ground.

the combat looks emberrassing tbh that dodge roll is also so stupid , i hate the movement in this game

Just play Returnal

I have to be honest, this game don't seems to be any good

Scars Above is Horizon and Returnal's love child 😁

Woman main protagonist in 2024? nope immediate pass

Im so sick of girl power, it has nothing to do with reality, and in the end i think it hurts more than it adds, its ok if the developer wants to add options so we can choose the hero, but again only one gender its very very bad, if its a girl, i have to pass

This game seems a blatant ripoff of Returnal from the art style POV. From the setting, even to her suit.

Any game with a female lead is a hard pass for me these days, especially if the woman is mixed race or black. Why? Because I *know* they'll be dogshit. It's the same exact reason I always gave Forspoken a wide birth and knew from day 1 the game would be utter garbage.

Well, you showed in the video why nobody is talking about this game. It is average.

We are all too busy screaming at our screens playing wo long to even notice this game 🤣 also this game looks like an awful knock off outriders

This is a cheap version of Returnal

It’s a Returnal wannabe with an attempt at unique mechanics but “meh” execution. 6/10 game, some will enjoy, some will hate, mostly passable decent time.

female protagonist, no thanks

Great lighting engine; small areas with minimal exploration; janky mechanics, imo. Returned after 45 minutes. /ymmv
