An uneven but ambitious sci-fi thriller - Scars Above Quick Review
PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Play it if you can get it on sale and don’t mind a pretty brisk game, but maybe skip it if you’re looking for a full, polished, triple-A experience. Scars Above is a sci-fi action game from Mad Head Games, a studio that, as far as I can tell, has mostly worked on hidden object games prior to this. I’m all for game developers trying something new, and Scars Above is certainly a big swing that presents some very intriguing ideas—even if it ends up feeling heavier on potential than delivery.
