Poker roguelite with a lot going on. If you're a fan of huge numbers or need a game to play while you listen to podcasts or audio books, this is for you.

If you're a fan of space exploration or researching history, you'll love this. It's a work of art.

Without spoiling, it's gameplay loop provides a lot of introspection into the themes the game presents about one's position in the universe and what any of it means. While time is limited, it's all the time you'll have.

Beautiful game, story is rad, gameplay is tight. Easily my GOTY

The goblins are really good.

Title speaks for itself

I really wanted to like this game but at this point I can't bring myself to finish it. Scarlet Nexus is a character action game with a cyberpunk setting that places an emphasis on the bonds you build through your journey. From that description alone it feels like this game was made for me.

Gameplay is decent, using a mix of basic, heavy and psychic attacks in order to defeat enemies. There's also a dodge move that when upgraded rewards riskier dodges with slowed time, it's fun but if you are expecting Devil May Cry levels of combo depth you won't find that here.

Music is good, utilizing various electronic-fusion styled music and the opening, Dream in Drive is a banger.

Graphics are decent, I honestly felt the monster design was a strong point of the game along with the rest of the general art style.

The issue lies at the games core with it's central story. It just feel repetitive when you have a side character explain something to the group, the main character has an internal monologue explaining how he feels about this then another side character asks the main character what they think and he says the same thing again. The first act was really fun but after that the game falls into this cycle of really predicable story beats that barely drag the story along.

Is good
