    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.

    I randomly picked up #ScarsAbove over the weekend while it was on sale. What an amazing underrated game! It had all my faves, from artfully designed scifi horror to clever combat mechanics. Plus, can we just appreciate the fact this woman has actual realistic neck wrinkles? I feel seen! #videogames

    I don't know if I trust the studio behind Scars Above to deliver with this, but the Saber money should help. Super happy it's a single-player game and not yet another asymmetrical MP title as many theorized. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R88Q...

    Game 65: Scars Above. It's a Soulslike but a sci fi one and really good. Felt like it had Resident Evil vibes with the horror and Mass Effect vibes with sci fi The story is great and the gameplay was fun, the final boss is a bit lackluster but im happy to have played it 9/10

    We finished Scars Above today. Honestly about a 5/10 for the game overall. the lore was about a 7/10. There was a lot of room for improvement with the game that disappointed me but still had fun listening to the lore they built. Raided @umbralpyro.bsky.social whos live rn playing mtg!

    Scars Above (PS5) First piece of media of the year! I got this game for Christmas and enjoyed my ~12 hour playthrough. I'm a Sci-fi lover so this world and plot really did it for me. It has some rough edges, especially in it's animations and movement, but i still had a good time! 7/10 #gaming

    Scars Above is a creepy and mysterious 3rd person sci-fi game. Lots of exploration and danger, alien artifacts and tech. And some excellent feeling combat, once you get into its odd groove. store.steampowered.com/app/1196090/...

    Another game that's basically OK with nothing great or terrible with it #ScarsAbove is a Sci-fi #Soulslike that's completely made but lacks anything really special about it from the gameplay , the visuals and the story , not a bad game by any accord and would recommend for people to try it and see!

    On Saturday evening I grabbed the Humble Heroines bundle that was on encore, mostly because year in year out they have a really good mix of things I don't normally play. I installed Scars Above on Sunday morning, I just finished the game now. Rare I marathon a game so fast these days!

    I guess part of the issue is few people do it well. I played Scars Above which clearly set a few soulslike rules…but then stopped having exploration. 70% of the game was straight corridors to the next checkpoint.

    Started playing #ScarsAbove this week. It's a Souls-light shooter, which is okay so far. I say Souls-light as it has the pillars (its bonfires) with the respawning enemies but is far simpler and much more accessible to not-guds like me. 😁 #gaming #ps5 https://youtu.be/j3KvKGuu8sM?si=eoOVVMWd9Wtzq7YT

    Ok so plan is, next Monday we will start a game called “Scars Above” reviews are iffy but they all agreed good story. Plus it’s been in my library for a few years I think at this point so why not. It should only take 2 streams and that should be enough time before halo comes out.

  • heebee @beltsquid.bsky.socialBluesky · Oct 15, 2025

    Hmmm probably Scars Above. A thoroughly 5.5-6/10 game with middling combat, awful encounter design, and baffling Soulsborne aspirations.

  • John Thompson @firesofanarchy.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 10, 2025

    Either way, Scars Above reminded me to go back to this playthrough so it didn't languish and I actually have the plat now, so it's time to jump back into a game I enjoy playing a lot more in ME2 and actually finish it without screwing up my playthrough this time. #MassEffect

    Game #17: Scars Above. Grew on me, and I like it. Hid the most fun combat mechanics and the best horror environments in late-game, though. By then I'd already gone to easy mode because I lacked the patience to git gud. Kinda regretted it, but wasn't going back.

    I'll do my first pseudo game review. Scars Above is a very solid 6/10. Nothing blew me away, but everything was good enough. Definitely scratched the sci-fi itch I've had recently. Main negatives were the somewhat stiff animations and combat. Positives: good story and atmosphere/environments.

    Platinum #22: Scars Above. A very short, fascinating cosmic horror style game. Not much else to say other than I wish I had more time, that the game was longer.

    Mini-Review: Scars Above (PS5) I was going to start by saying this is a pretty good budget-priced game at $40, but Amazon (at the moment) has it discounted at just $30 already. It's barely a month old. I feel like it should be getting more attention. Sure, it sits somewhere in…
