Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim EX (PS5) – Fans Will Be in Lesbians with This Fun-Filled Brawler

Look, if you were a fan of the original Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, you need to check this out. Scott Pilgrim EX basically takes everything I loved about the first game and just makes it even better. If you already knew whether that style of game was for you, this one will confirm it – it’s more of that awesome experience, polished up!

Okay, so basically, my band, Sex Bob-omb, had a total disaster – most of the guys vanished, and all our gear went with them! Now it’s up to me, Ramona, and a few weird friends to rescue everyone. It gets seriously crazy, though – we’re fighting demons, robots, and even vegans in this awesome side-scrolling beat-’em-up. It’s like, jumping and punching your way through alternate dimensions to save the band!

You’re free to roam the game world, though some areas will only become accessible as you advance the story. This allows for a flexible experience, and you can develop your characters in many different ways. You’ll find plenty of shops where you can buy upgrades that give lasting benefits.

The game starts off feeling surprisingly challenging because it anticipates you’ll become powerful fast. Once you gain levels and start doing more damage, later enemies and boss fights become noticeably easier.

Despite a few balancing issues, the combat is genuinely enjoyable. The game offers a wide range of moves, almost too many to remember! But even sticking to the simpler options feels good and keeps the action flowing.

The game features a wide variety of weapons and items you can throw, plus helpful assists and special moves for tough situations. Each character also has unique abilities, giving you lots of options to try out and master.

Okay, so honestly, there isn’t a huge plot here. It feels like something made by fans, for fans – totally focused on the world of Scott Pilgrim. If you already love that universe, you’ll get a lot out of it, but don’t expect a really strong story driving everything forward. It’s more about enjoying the vibe and familiar elements.

Overall, this game is really enjoyable. While there are a few moments of frustrating backtracking or tricky platforming, it’s a well-made beat-’em-up with a lot of charm and character.
