    Scathe is a good first-person shooter for anyone who loves the genre and appreciates a challenge. The story is good enough and the combat feels visceral. Moving through the same rooms can become repetitive but the FPS mechanics are good enough to keep players engaged. I would have liked for the game to offer at least another difficulty level. Frustration can also appear if the re-spawn puts the player in the middle of a big fight, with no way out. But, overall, Scathe understands what makes an FPS tick and adds enough new ideas to keep fans engaged.

    Scathe is definitely not flawless. The bosses aren’t great, optimization could use some work, and the music, while good, lacks variety. But traversing the infernal labyrinth and slaughtering dozens of demons is good fun, the guns feel satisfying to use, and the game definitely knows how to keep you on your toes.

    Thoughts-
    By no means is Scathe a terrible game; it certainly has some clever ideas and genre-melding ambitions that I can appreciate. Unfortunately, it also falls just slightly short on every single count, making it feel more like a chore to play than an actual game. I certainly hope that Damage State can improve on the game as it goes on, because somewhere underneath the messy visuals and tiring progression system is a game that’s bound to be incredibly fun. I just hope that this game can make it out of the ashes of Scathe unscathed.    … Full Review »
