Scarlet Nexus

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

In a far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it.

Just as humanity was entering this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a thirst for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity.

Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our chance to fight the onslaught from above. To this day, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity’s last line of defense.

Take on the role of Yuito Sumeragi, a new recruit to the OSF aiming to become an elite psionic like the one who saved him as a child. Armed with a talent in psycho-kinesis, explore the futuristic city of New Himuka and uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS.

I got it due to its similarities to Astral Chain which I loved and its just as good and better in some ways. This game has some of the best combat I've ever experienced. Its fluid, satisfying, and every new power you unlock changes how you approach every fight. The character designs were great and so were the characters themselves for the most part. Now for the bad. As much as I enjoy the bond episodes the methods of unlocking them feel a bit repetitive and annoying which then detracts from experience of the bond episode. The enemy designs were pretty cool, but most of the enemies are variants of the base version so at times they would feel kinda lame. The side quests (there are around a little over 60 if you do both storylines) are very simple, very mid, and very repetitive. The rewards they offer aren't worth very much and are clearly implemented to take up time. That's the case for most games side quests, but its at its worse in this game and is certainly its biggest shortcoming. Onto the most conflicting part; the story. The story starts off very strong. Starting off setting up the world and the characters and it gets even stronger throughout the rest of the game with the crazy lore details. Unfortunately the last few chapters weren't as enjoyable due to the story getting immensely convoluted. Overall a VERY great hack and slasher with a very solid story with a few very annoying shortcomings that were implemented just to raise play time.

This game is lesser known but surprised me.From the PS5 games I've played, adaptive triggers work best in this one. Combat is so amazing.This game is lesser known but surprised me.From the PS5 games I've played, adaptive triggers work best in this one. Combat is so amazing.However, what happened to the story? I chose Yuito and 50% of the game time I had no idea about the story and why people try to kill me. Really should start with Kasane...

Encore l’un de ces soit-disant jeux de rôle japonais… mais comme chacun le sait, jeu de rôle et japonais, ça fait deux ! ça fait (très)Encore l’un de ces soit-disant jeux de rôle japonais… mais comme chacun le sait, jeu de rôle et japonais, ça fait deux ! ça fait (très) longtemps que c’est comme ça et ce nouvel étron démoulé par Namcon ne va certainement pas changer la donne…C’est comme d’habitude très dirigiste, sans aucun choix significatif et de surcroît, le jeu qui semble de prime abord plus ‘sérieux’ que de coutume s’avère en fait presque aussi niais que les japoniaiseries passées, présentes… ou à venir ! l’univers présenté ici peine à susciter la moindre curiosité ou le moindre intérêt. Le côté ‘anime’ très prononcé ne plaide pas non plus en sa faveur et les graphismes très lisses sont très quelconques.Comme d’habitude (encore !), on ne peut pas sauvegarder manuellement mais uniquement à des points spécifiques dans ce pseudo-monde cyber-esprit-punk de pacotille ; la musique Bontempi est à se pendre (un supplice !) et surtout, le système de combat est complètement con et implique l’usage décérébré de cons-bos à la con comme dans les jeux de baston japonais à la con (pléonasme).On sent également bien vite qu’on va devoir farmer moult de ces combats bidons et désordonnés ad nauseam. Enfin, les menus ressemblent beaucoup à ces daubes de Final Fientasy… (non, ce n’est pas un compliment). Voilà l’état de cette pure connerie de japoniaiserie, une connerie de sous-jeu nulle à chier des briques. Rien de nouveau sous le soleil… levant donc.
