The problem is that combat never really evolves. Used in conjunction with basic weapon combos, it gives fights an enjoyable rhythm - especially when you start to chain projectiles together with well-timed melee attacks. Its gimmick is that you can use Yuito or Kasane's telekinesis to hurl hefty objects, like cars, construction materials, and rubble at your enemies to deal damage. On a surface level and just beyond, combat in Scarlet Nexus is unique and satisfying. Even bosses are reused as normal foes later on.Īnd this issue bleeds into the game's combat system. The Others have clearly had some imagination poured into them - they're a mishmash of organic parts and inanimate objects - but it isn't long at all before you're going up against barely reskinned opponents that have slightly different attack patterns. Sadly, the same is true of the enemies that you'll face. By the end, the plot has performed so many leaps in logic that it starts to come across as convoluted. Key moments in the narrative are glazed over, and feel like they're forgotten far too quickly, while certain members of the cast seem to change their tune in the blink of an eye, without any real character development to back it up. The storytelling, for example, suffers from some erratic pacing issues a little later on. It's just that, once you're about ten hours into this "brain punk" adventure, its flaws start to become more and more apparent.
In fact, this is a well made RPG, and arguably the most polished title that Bandai Namco Studios has developed in a long time.
That's not to say these aspects of Scarlet Nexus are bad. It's an intriguing premise on paper, but in practice, both the storytelling and gameplay of Scarlet Nexus wear thin by the end of one playthrough - never mind two.

This means that in order to get the full picture, two playthroughs are needed one from Yuito's perspective, and one from Kasane's, each taking around 20 hours or so.
