Honourable Mentions
March has been surprisingly stacked, and while the months ahead look a little calmer, that just means you have more time to play some of these games that didn’t quite make the cut. As always, some of these are getting physical releases later in the year, but for now, they’re digital-only.
We’re missing a single late-March release in South of Midnight (we’ll have a review for that one soon!). Fortunately, there are still nine games that missed out on a podium spot. We told you it was a busy one!
Here’s what just missed the cut:
“Have you said the L-Word yet?” We’ve certainly said the L-word about Scott Pilgrim EX, the surprise sequel to the fantastic Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game. Tribute Games has taken the site-scrolling beat ’em up formula of the first, greatly expanded the cast, and brought in some RPG elements to boost stats and attacks.
Each character has an extremely unique moveset, with Scott feeling very different from Gideon, with Matthew’s puppeteering attacks being the standout. Add in beautiful pixel art, a new story from Bryan Lee O’Malley, and fantastic music from Anamanaguchi, and it’s a fan’s dream.
We gave Scott Pilgrim EX a 9/10, and we hope this isn’t the end for Sex Bob-omb and friends.
