Current Events > Is Scarlet Nexus worthy of the hype?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Open Critic has it at an 80, which isn't bad for an "anime game" so to speak. I've heard people comparing it favorably to the Tales Of franchise, and some saying it is better than.

Anyone have experience with the game? Is it worth a purchase?

Its worth a purchase, but not for more than $30 or $40. It does a lot of things right, and is pretty fun. However, it also missteps on so many things, I cant call it a great game.

I give it about a 6.5/10. (Anything above 5 is good in my opinion. Makes this an above average game.)

It's a super cliche anime game and while it's repetitive and uninspired, it's beautiful and fun in small doses

Literally just played it a couple minutes ago lol. The gameplay is pretty solid, has a lot of options and is very stylish/cinematic.

The story is pretty crazy but I'm not sure if in a good way or a bad way yet, I'll have to wait to see how it ends. It suffers from the things most anime games seem to do where someone who was trying to kill you a few seconds ago will ask you if you wanna hangout the next. It's especially jarring in this game because the antagonists do something that basically makes them irredeemable but whatever lol.

tdlr: it's pretty fun, have to wait to see where the story goes to determine if it's worth full price.

Wait for a price drop

I bought it for the bleak story and the waifus.
