I'm Worried Scarlet Nexus' Combat Won't Evolve In A Satisfying Way
<p>Ahead of the release of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/scarlet-nexus/">Scarlet Nexus</a>, I got to check out a preview build of Bandai Namco's upcoming action RPG. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get actual hands-on experience with the game, but Bandai Namco did provide an extended behind-the-scenes look at some gameplay, specifically combat. What I was most surprised by was how much it reminded me of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/star-wars-the-force-unleashed/">The Force Unleashed</a>.</p><p dir="ltr">Scarlet Nexus sees you play as Yuito Sumeragi, a psychokinetic who's a part of the special task force that defends humanity from demonic-looking mutants called Others. Though he's armed with a sword, Yuito's primary means of attack is his powers--he can use his mind to pick up objects in the environment and fling them at enemies. Small boxes and bicycles can be tossed around with ease while flinging cars and ripping down the ceiling seems to take considerably more effort.</p><p dir="ltr">When paired with Yuito's melee combat mechanics, it creates a sense of flow that reminds me of how Starkiller fought in The Force Unleashed. Yuito can dive past the Others' long-range attacks to get in close and slice away. He can also pummel enemies from afar with whatever is lying around, and given that Scarlett Nexus takes place in a city, there's plenty to throw. But Yuito seems to be at his strongest when he dances back and forth between the two styles, stunning targets with a thrown car and quickly finishing them off with a few snappy melee attacks.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/im-worried-scarlet-nexus-combat-wont-evolve-in-a-s/1100-6481550/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
