    I think the high scores are either Devs or someone hired by a publisher.
    The cheap motion and combat were just boring.
    There was no presence of team members and it was just empty.
    Don't think of this as a TPS, think of it as a puzzle game.
    This game is only worth $19 IMO.
    Even if you buy it on sale, you're just wasting your time and money.

    dont believe high scores from devs and bots
    ========
    only worth 20 dollar
    ========
    - 6.30 hour long.

    -very repetitive very linear 3rd person shooter, bad ai, bad hero hitbox, little enemies type and bad lip syncing.

    -devs love gorillas gorillas everywhere even final boss big gorilla (disappointment final boss).

    -some good main bosses, interesting sci fi story and some good upgrades.

    LGTB+RGB cheap soulless like game.
    Sometimes creepy af. And the most creepy thing there is a character's face animation. Dear lord this game not about humans it's about artifical creatures that pretending to be a humans.
    Shooting pepega. I shoot blue, i shoot red, i shoot ice. What a clowns. Devs put skips everywhere. 0 cutscenes we just dont move anywhere, we teleport to the place    LGTB+RGB cheap soulless like game.

    I don't feel it is worth it, even with a discount. It's just too difficult and tedious rather than fun.

    This is a very boring 3 person game with souls barking elements like the game remnant from the ashes. Didn't find any bugs except one when I got stuck in textures and had to boot from a checkpoint. The story and gameplay is a maximum parody of Returnal only much worse. The storyline is as boring and uninteresting as possible compared to Returnal. With enemies and bosses no problems at all,This is a very boring 3 person game with souls barking elements like the game remnant from the ashes. Didn't find any bugs except one when I got stuck in textures and had to boot from a checkpoint. The story and gameplay is a maximum parody of Returnal only much worse. The storyline is as boring and uninteresting as possible compared to Returnal. With enemies and bosses no problems at all, the bosses are very easy except for 1-2 who can at the initial stages of making problems. The game was not memorable and wanted it to end quickly. More were unloading locations in the middle of the game that led to prolag on rtx 3060ti but in principle, it is not critical. In general, better to play Returnal than this.… Expand

    Scars Above is an ambitious game that tries to balance action, exploration, and storytelling into a cohesive experience. While it’s not perfect, it manages to deliver an engaging adventure that stands out for its intelligent protagonist and creative use of scientific elements.

    Scars Above tells an excellent story and provides several mechanics that fans of the genre will enjoy. The landscapes and monsters are designed beautifully, with audio that completes each setting. While character design could use some work, and customization would have been nice, the good heavily outweighs the bad with this one. The combat difficulty will provide plenty of frustration and enjoyment for days on end.

    Scars Above wants to do a lot of things at once and takes its inspiration from many successful gems of the past. But it executes all of it just a bit more awkwardly and its own ideas fall flat more often than not. The combat system is pretty solid and the story drags the game from the mire of averageness, but it could’ve been so much better.
