Scarlet Nexus // Review

Namco Bandai have had an interesting decade. Outside of the form-redefining Dark Souls (2011) the publisher has not had many breakout hits. They have, however, funded a plethora of novel, single-player titles, from the bone chillingly brilliant Little Nightmares (2017), to the interesting, if not entirely successful, Dark Pictures Anthology (2019-). Scarlet Nexus (2021) is an action game with an ambitious, high-concept narrative, and a combat system that, while not as visceral as the fare of say, Platinum games, has a super-powered tactical twist that feels distinct within the ouvere of Japanese action games.
