Scarlet Nexus (stylized as SCARLET NEXUS) is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is set to be released on June 25, 2021 for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S and has received generally positive reviews from critics. Scarlet Nexus is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. Players can assume control of either Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randall, members of the Other Suppression Force (OSF) who are tasked to defend New Himuka from creatures known as the Others. While they are equipped with short-range weapons like a sword, both Yuito and Kasane possess the ability of psychokinesis, allowing them to hurl objects and debris at hostile enemies. The protagonist's powers can be upgraded through accessing the "brain map", which serves as the game's skill tree. As players progress, they would encounter different party members who would assist them in combat. In this video DreamcastGuy is doing a review of the first 20 hours of Scarlet Nexus while showing gameplay in a review style format. This was all played on an Xbox Series X and tested on a PS5. Each companion has their own unique combat abilities, which can then be acquired by the protagonists through an ability named "brain link". Set in the near future and an alternate reality where humanity develops technology and forms society based on the substances found in human brains. These substances also grant humans extrasensory superpowers. The Other Suppression Force (OSF) recruits members with supernatural abilities to protect humanity from the Others, mindless mutants descending from the Extinction Belt.

This game is just too big and too deep for my normal review style but I really wanted to talk about it. Thanks for watching and LIKING the video! <3

This game has some really interesting combat ideas. I’m actually really looking forward to this game!

[Stonk]

This game is a combination of Astral Chain (Combat) + Persona 5 (Characters) + Cyberpunk (Atmosphere). I love it!

Just got my first xbox with all access and of all those now available games, this is the one I keep playing, really great

[incompetentlyplayinggames]

I have absolutely loved playing this game I have played it through to completion 3 times (with Yuito and Kasane) already and I am going to start the anime this weekend. I seriously hope there is a sequel or prequel to build on that lore some more because like you said there is an insane amount of back story to the game.

The demo sold me on this game, the combat feels really good.

Can t wait to play it

[joshuaijaola]

had my eyes on it when I saw it revealed during that series x event

[benimo]

Damn, now I’m interested even more. I was worried about the amount of locations in the game but it looks like a good variety from the review

[feeamerie]

I just bought this in the spring sale based on this video. I’d convinced myself it was another Soulslike and so never bought it. But I’m glad I have now jumped onboard. Loving it so far - thx Max.

I love your channel my dude! I forgot to comment on your E3 ones but I was waiting to see what you were going to say about this game. I've been looking forward to it and I'm glad you're enjoying it. Can't wait to play it and see your full review!

[teddyholiday]

80-100 hours average play through? Every other reviewer said they finished the game in 25ish hours.

Edit: you need a second play through for the Plat, so 45ish hours total for 100 percent completion

Your non review is better than most reviews out there, nobody mentioned anything about dating, environments etc and hardly anything about side quests. They also said it was a 25-30 hours with both character included, thanks for really digging in deep and telling us exactly what this game has to offer, other reviewers made me feel like I should wait for a sale but watching your video has made it a day one for me and as a fan of devil may cry I knew i wasn’t going to be disappointed, thanks again Dreamcastguy

[MySplatterhouse]

Best of all none of the content is locked behind a pay wall, its a games-game. Color me sold!!! 👌🏿👌🏿

[tomallica]

I've been interested in this game but I wasn't sure what it was about. But I waited for your review because I respect your opinion so much. I will get this game!

[kyojn]

This game looks like the love child of Phantom Dust and God Eater 3, which is a great baby!

[rupertocampo]

Damn. Game wasn't really on my radar but since this is the first "First Thoughts" video on Skarlet Nexus, now it seems interesting to me.

Now I kinda can compare it to a much more deeper Nier Automata game without ANY of its series games for any story context, *at all!*. That what I'm understanding when he talks about how there's too much story.

So hopefully, the rest of the 80-100 hours does explain more of the story and lore! Other than that, it does seem like a lot of fun.

Thanks for this initial deep dive Dreamcastguy!

[jackgray]

The game reminds me of DMC. I want to like it, but it looks like they pulled all the characters from SAO or something generic like that and the enemies just look so lame. I might get it at a heavy discount.

[strohhuttv]

This will be a DAY 1 purchase baby LET'S GOOO!!! ❤️

[Philosophical]

I’m really excited for this! I don’t have many games to look forward to in the coming days so this will definitely help satisfy my addiction 🤧😂

[JMrealgamer]

I can’t wait to play it. This is the type of RPG I want to play!!!! I heard the time it takes that’s amazing!
