Was kinda liking the game at first until I realized the devs went with a soulslike kinda progression and combat, with annoying bosses that require split second timing and some spongy enemies. It's a linear shooter which is fine but when you add in save points that respawn all enemies with the souls like progression it just feels terrible. They should've just made this a straightshot third person cover shooter …

Scars Above is a AA game that doesn’t have to blush when compared to many AAA titles, even though it is much much shorter, the experience it delivers is almost flawless and offers one of the best representations of a hostile environment I've experienced. I was impressed throughout the entire game and as mentioned, the atmosphere and level design are excellent. The gameplay, while simple, works very well and never …

This game is a solid experience if you're looking for a fairly linear game with an alright sci-fi setting. Game itself felt like it had potential with some of the early mechanics it introduced, which were never brought up again. Interesting map biomes, though the enemy variety is lackluster. It is very easy to 100%, and even the game's hardest difficulty can be a cake walk. That being said, don't expect anything …

Scars Above: A Flawed but Compelling Sci-Fi Adventure, 8/10, buy on sale. "Scars Above" is a third-person sci-fi shooter that drops you into a hostile alien world, and for the most part, it's a journey worth taking. With an engaging narrative and a satisfying combat system at its core, it manages to shine despite some frustrating design choices. The story is one of the game's high points. Playing as Dr. Kate Ward, …

Sacrs Above is a short, sci-fi, adventure shooter set in a mysterious alien wolrd. The games graphisc look very good and the map is large, beautiful and diverse. Every level is different with new hostile mobs and elements. It never gets repetitive. The story is quite engaging and the main character, Dr. Kate Ward, is really cool. She gives me Lara Croft vibes and I liked her a lot. What I also like about this game …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Scars Above received mixed reviews on Metacritic. IGN said it "shows a lot of potential" but the overpowered weaponry and gadgets cause it to become boring. NME praised its Soulslike combat but said the exploration and puzzles were at times confusing. Hardcore Gamer called it "almost aggressively unoriginal" that "rarely, if ever, takes any sort of risks". Push Square praised what they felt was a likeable protagonist and interesting premise, but they disliked the animations, combat, variation among enemies, and environmental design.

60 of 266 · most liked firstA Solid Sci-Fi Ride Worth One Playthrough Scars Above is a perfectly decent sci-fi action-adventure that doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's fine. You play as Dr. Kate Ward, an astrobiologist stranded on a hostile alien planet, fighting to survive and uncover the mystery of a strange monolith. The story is serviceable, the visuals are solid, and the atmosphere delivers enough mystery to keep you pushing forward. The combat is functional, a mix of shooting, elemental weapons, and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to like this game. I liked the premise and I liked the setting. Good scifi with a interesting time jumps and monsters. But why did the developers decided to make this weird pseudo-soulslike angle on it? It just does not work. The game is very linear which can be good for a cinematic experience like this. But slap on top of it the souls-like formula of respawning enemies and combat that relies on spongy encounters and weapons that either shoot to slow (fire), do little damage outside of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only reason why I would suggest to play this, is that you would get a likely accurate idea of how the first AA game entirely developed by AI would look like. I don't like reviewing negatively games if I can help it, and usually I just prefer to leave it, but I was so unimpressed by this one that I feel like I should leave one - sorry. The biggest issue with this game - among the many - is that there isn't a singular original idea. Everything has already been seen a hundred times and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get me wrong with this negative review. The game is okay-ish and not too bad, it has interesting element mechanic which makes the player play with variety of weapons at some points and it is satisfying to take down big enemies using their weakness, but it gets repetitive and boring fast. The game's length is okay-ish, story wise, eh, it was okay.. However, the main characters are all so ugly, especially the protagonist, and no the female does not have to be hypersexualized, but the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A rather frustrating game that had sooo much potential. The person responsible for respawning all enemies that were killed every time you save should be fired and never had a place in making games due to serious lack of critical thinking.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games where I wish there was a middle ground between a positive and negative review. Because while this game is certainly no masterpiece, it also isn't *bad*. Let's start with the negatives. -Scars Above runs on the Unreal Engine, so it looks great, the character models and animations haven't gotten that memo tho. The lip movements don't sync up either. -The stamina bar also appears outside of combat, which gets annoying during long stretches of exploration. -The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, it's not bad. I wanted to recommend this game, especially after looking at the developer's past work. Most of their games are point-and-click, but this one feels like a big step forward. It has fun and engaging enemies and boss fights, as well as a decently interesting story. One negative thing I want to point out is the horrible pre-rendered cutscenes that are everywhere in this game, which is unfortunate. It reminds me of one of those weird Xbox 360 games they don't make anymore. If…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since it is autosave and there isn't a certain location you can save, you say OK, it seems like there isn't one nearby, I am gonna go back and save it because it took me 10 mins to kill this guy... HELLO! The boss and all other mobs you just killed respawns EVERY SINGLE TIME if you leave the area. I don't understand this player punishment fetish. If you like so, here is your punishment with a negative review. I will give it another shot another time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know if the Developers will ever read this but it's important. Guys, sometimes you just want to play a game to get out of your head and lose yourself. I realize that it's unpopular but as an older adult that works long hours, I don't want to come home and play a difficult game and if the game is so difficult that you can't gain any headway in the easiest setting, it's not me, it's you. I've played shooters since they first came out, so you can't blame me. So after I was killed at the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice shooting mechanics, nice story, it kept me on the edge the whole game. The moving, shooting, dodging etc. are a bit clunky though. But what I like the most is that you can reset your ability points anytime you want, how many times you want. There's no limit for that. So you can play around with different builds until you find the one that's right for you. But in the end you will have unlocked all of them anyway.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →decent enough game, but i can't in good faith say that it's at all worth it, especially for the original $30 price. the story was pretty okay at best, downright boring at worst. the only "difficult" boss fights have stupid gimmicks (and they're pretty much a joke after you figure it out). imo the most egregious thing was that my playthrough that almost 100%'d the game took me around 8 hours. that is not NEARLY long enough to justify the price (and it also hurts the already pretty weak story).…

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the jankiest, clunkiest games I've come across. The concept of needing to swap through weapons to hit specific parts of mobs with specific elements along with the terrible roll in this game just makes it frustrating and boring to play. The concepts are interesting but the delivery and smoothness of them is just not done well at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR; I bought this for $3 and it was worth every penny. I would say $10 would be the most I would pay now, $20 would have been okay at launch. ~6 hours to complete the game. Story was fine, nothing crazy. Graphics and animations were good. Combat is fun, but enemies are REALLY repetitive. Puzzles are mid. Cutscene animations were just silly - the characters facial expressions don't match the voice acting or the scenario at all. I didn't encounter any of the issues others were seeing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible controls. You have a fraction of a second to release the charge while aiming to a weak spot in some gorila boss... If you hold for too long the charge realese itself, if you let it go in the last second like they want you to, it simply won't reconize wich mouse button you released first and just disarm the character... leaving you to get some hits.. your life is smaller than the dev's pennis and unlike his mothers hole the area where you are suppose to keep dodging from giant attacks…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's short but good. At first it feels like a souls-like shooter, but later you discover more weapons and perks to progress easily. I really enjoyed this short game. Scars Above is quite compressed in terms of content, but at the same time it won't annoy you much during the playthrough. Combat is really smooth, movement is responsive, and you can combine elements from the weapons to kill vulnerable enemies. Achievements are also extremely easy to complete - you simply play the game and 99% of…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little game! Great Sci-Fi story, nice music score! It's not a perfect game, far from it but it's really not supposed to be. I really think that we should give more credit to these smaller projects. If you like space stories, give it a go!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh man, am I a sucker for a good Sci-Fi Game. Anything from Observation to Star Ocean. I am just a much a sucker for Sci-Fi games as I am a Cyberpunk game. So let's get into the review of Scars Above! Story: 6 / 10 The premise starts with strong classic sci-fi intrigue: Dr. Kate Ward and her SCAR (Sentient Contact Assessment and Response) team are sent to investigate the "Metahedron," a colossal alien structure that suddenly appears in Earth's orbit. Things quickly go sideways, and Kate…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is solid! The biggest compliments i can give this game is that, if you took the movies Oblivion and Prometheus, and the games Returnal and Metroid, and they made a baby, it would be this game. Its not a roguelike, and not a Metroidvania, its a liniar Scifi story. If a modder can swapped out the main character for Samus from Metroid, you can pass this game as a liniar Metroid game (someone make it happen) Rating: 9 out of 10 As a SciFi nerd who doesnt like soulslike games, im…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We have Mass Effect at home. But seriously the amount of ripping this does from Mass Effect is shameless - the graphical design, the ship, the music. I should have written more down as I was playing because the story is wack and so is the gameplay. I don't know if I was doing it wrong or what but I found 'the alpha' boss to be unreasonably difficult with unintuitive dodge rolling and insanely tight timing and when I finally beat it the gui bugged out and I had to restart the game, so I quit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picked up this very short and spooky soulslike, Scars Above. Easy 12-15 platinum. It may still be $5.00 on PSN. Game is alright, but doesn’t leave a big impression. Still, it’s a cheap and easy platinum that can kinda scratch the souls itch.
neutral · AI labelView post →I tried brothers, but i just couldnt get into it. This is obviously their first attempt at an action game and it shows. They did a mostly good job of it, however the whole soulslike combat and "bonfire" mechanic just don't fit. Especially when story beats are just repeated again and again if you do die and have to go through them again. I see potential in these guys, and i do hope they learn from the mistakes in this one. Jank is fine, but mashed together mechanics aren't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer 1: This review is spoiler-free. Disclaimer 2: Got the key for the game from one of the bundles on Humble, so it costed me literally as couple of bucks. Disclaimer 3: 12.9 hours to beat and get all the achievements on a slow roll and with 3-ish hours of AFK. So, you know there are some games people would leave a neutral review rather than a positive or a negative? This game is such a case for me. In its core Scars Above is a 3rd Person shooter with a souls-like tag on the steam…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scars Above is a science-fiction third-person action-adventure shooter developed by Mad Head Games and published by Prime Matter. It presents an intriguing alien mystery and occasionally looks like it could have been adapted from a science-fiction film, but its striking environments cannot compensate for shallow combat, limited enemy variety, and some remarkably lifeless character presentation. The gameplay resembles a barebones soulslike, complete with stamina management, dodge-based combat,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll probably finish it, cause the game is pretty short anyway, but I hardly get any fun from Scars Above. I've been lured by the souls-like tag, have barely read any reviews, and these were my grave mistakes. This is NOT a souls-like game - it's just a mediocre third-person shooter on rails that emphasizes its weak story over gameplay. The only thing that might resemble Dark Souls here is the local bonfire system, which is absolutely useless. It only serves as a save point, so forget about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unnecessarily difficult game, made even harder by clunky controls. Generic and not fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picked it up for 5 bucks. Looked great but it is incredibly frustrating to get though a level just to be foiled by my greatest weakness: Flat ground. Seriously you get stuck on the geometry all the time. For a game encouraging exploration and discovery you cant get very close to the edges or fall off any where. Its very on rails. Good for 5 bucks and the story, but you will find your self having to restart after a challenging fight because the flat ground has taken your shoes and left you…

You play as Dr. Kate Ward, a scientist stranded on a hostile alien world who must rely on her intellect, craft gadgets and loot elements to survive. While its lower budget presentation, stiff animations and rough pacing prevent it from reaching heights, its clever emphasis on scientific scanning and elemantal weapon synergies provides an engaging,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Surprisingly good for what it's worth. Given the lack of sci-fi games nowadays, definitely a must play if you like settings like this one. Combat mechanics might seem a bit janky and too basic at first, but once you unlock more weapons and abilities, the gameplay actually becomes fun. More importantly, the game doesn't overstate its welcome: 6-8 hours it takes to beat it feels exactly right. And also reminds of good old days when a game didn't throw tons of boring repetitive activities at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's decent if it's on sale. It's a generic, linear AA game that doesn't compete with Dead Space or Alien: Isolation. However, for $2 you get 10 hours of straightforward action, simple puzzles, and a basic story. A 3/5 star game, fine for passing the time.

Soulslike wannabe that gives you extremely slow combat with limited ammo,(you have basically around 30 ammo rounds and need constantly pick up "ammo flowers"), boring bosses with absurd amount of life and fire weapon that needs to charge up which makes it completely useless against agressive enemies. It literally lies to you about weak points on enemies(or they're bugged). It has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ level up system where your kills doesn't matter( you need to find exp…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For this game I wish Steam had a button for mix ratting, that is where it hinges. So, the core combat mechanic is the shooting, in my opinion this is also its biggest strength but weakness too. To keep it brief, you get to use 4 weapons each with a different element, from electric to fire to ice and finally to toxic. Throughout the game you will meet enemies which has one of those weaknesses (imagine bosses with weakpoints, with the added factor that you need the right weapon for those…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scars Above has okayish graphics and the character models are wooden, with stiff animations. The controls are clunky and combat is pretty janky. The voice acting is flat, without emotion, and amateurish. There's just nothing at all that makes me care to finish this game. No good story, not good game mechanics, lacking in enemy variety and boring characters. Not recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic example of a solid AA game. We need more like it. It has linear levels, basic elemental color-coordination combat, and a story that's intriguing yet ultimately serviceable - but it just works. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I was rapt the entire time I played, and I'm genuinely excited to see what the devs have in store for us next.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hidden gem that punches above its weight!! I picked this up during a Steam sale and honestly it took me by surprise. For a game developed by a smaller studio, the level of finesse and brilliant game design is impressive. While it's a shorter experience it's incredibly rewarding. The linear structure makes it an easy pick up and play title without unnecessary bloat. While the character movement feels a bit quirky at first, you quickly get into a flow where everything just clicks. Combat is a…

The visuals are one of its strongest aspects, offering detailed environments and a good overall atmosphere. The story is slightly above average—engaging enough, though not particularly groundbreaking. However, the game is held back by repetitive and recycled enemies, which make combat feel less varied over time. Additionally, the item that slows enemies is overpowered and removes much of the challenge, making the…

The world was a little meh - although I did enjoy the non-hostile creatures roaming about - and I had some issues with controls - probably mostly my fault - but the story and overall message really got to me. There were some great lines in there that hit hard, and the general message of the game in regards to AI and machines and genesplising were a breath of fresh air compared to some other games out there using the same format.

There's no replayability because of this, but for what it is, it was good. Maybe tuned a bit too easy. On the middle of the three difficulties I died probably around 10 times in total, most of it in the first half of the game when I was getting used to things. I rarely used any gadgets or consumables beyond the shield and the heal. There…
