    I lost patience with Scars Above. The story is nice and intriguing. Some basic mechanics works. But the fighting. I lost patience with the fire gun, which require a charging time before firing. A real disadvantage very early in the game. Also the fact that the character is always slow to move in fights is frustrating. The sprint is just a gimmick to spend stamina and is useless in fights.I lost patience with Scars Above. The story is nice and intriguing. Some basic mechanics works. But the fighting.

Some happening in thigh spaces, so you are slow. Graphics seems ok and there is a certain production value. I give it 60% but I couldn't get passed the first 2 hours.… 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.
