Scarlet Nexus never approaches the level of technique displayed by true Bayonetta lifers-there are hardly any combos to memorize or weapons to master-but it was flashy enough to sustain me till the final chapters.Īlong the way, Yuiko and Kasane have access to their small travelling band of other psionic teens.
Those accomplices aren't controlled directly, and honestly I found them to do pretty negligible damage overall, but they do play a vital role. The party has a diverse suite of supernatural expertise. Some are sclerokinetic, which grants invulnerability, or electrokinetic, or clairvoyant, and the player can tap into those skills at any time-which is kinda like popping a cooldown in an MMO. All of these effects can have a drastic impact on the combat an Other in the distance shields its weak spot whenever I draw close, so I borrow my friend's teleportation ability to blink up into striking distance without the beast noticing.

I fling a drum full of oil onto a vagrant in the corner, and tap into an ally's pyrokinesis to set them on fire and score some lingering bonus damage. (Yes, there's a whole interlocking chain of status effects in Scarlet Nexus, yet another bit of circuity that the game flirts with.) #SCARLET NEXUS REVIEW EMBARGO FULL#
In the interim moments, where you're not decapitating Others and experimenting with all your spooky, death-dealing powers, Yuiko and Kasane spend a lot of time consoling the damaged souls in their platoon. Scarlet Nexus doesn't move in quasi-real time like Persona, but the game does pause at certain junctures in the narrative for a brief cooldown period.
