Dec. 2025

Scars Above is a AA game that doesn’t have to blush when compared to many AAA titles, even though it is much much shorter, the experience it delivers is almost flawless and offers one of the best representations of a hostile environment I've experienced. I was impressed throughout the entire game and as mentioned, the atmosphere and level design are excellent. The gameplay, while simple, works very well and never becomes boring. The OST is awesome, but not present enough in my opinion. Some encounters and moments truly stayed with me, and one of the boss fights was genuinely one of the best fight I’ve had in a video game in years. Speaking of enemies, the bestiary is very varied, and discovering new threats throughout the game is always enjoyable. I was slightly disappointed by the ending tho, it felt too short and happened too quickly. For such an affordable game with this level of quality, I highly recommend it, don’t hesitate for a second !

Why does this give off the exact feeling of watching Annihilation with Natalie Portman, and the protagonist kind of looks like her too. Edit - A solid AA experience that holds up thanks to its solid mechanics. The weapons are fun to use, there’s enough enemy variety to keep things interesting, and while the story is predictable, it’s still enjoyable nonetheless.

Oct. 2025

it's a good game with a story I really enjoyed. I managed to 100% it in just one playthrough, taking 6.6 hours. Some sections dragged a little, but overall the pacing was fine, and the experience felt worthwhile. It’s fun and engaging, If you’re looking for a compact sci-fi adventure with a solid story, this one is worth your time. This review has been proofread by AI since English is not my native language.

Solid game. It's not AAA and it doesn't have 40 hours of "content", but that's for the better. Keeps things interesting and fresh, manages to tells a cool sci-fi story, if a bit predictable. Good pacing, good skill progression, good level design. Especially the meat caves, very memorable, everyone who worked on those deserves a bonus, it was utterly disgusting and unpleasant, loved it. The game works, it doesn't crash, it doesn't have bugs, runs great and looks good. A monumental achievement in 2025. Get it, play it.

★ ★ ★ ★ I give a 4 out of 5 Stars ★ for Scars Above Scars Above is one of the rare well made indie games set in a sci-fi future which kinda reminded me of Tom Cruise Oblivion. You play a regular Astronaut teleported to an Alien world and must survive using your scientific knowledge and engineering skills as you 3d print weapons and gadgets. Here is how i summarize this Pros: 100% Steam Achievements - Easy to get in just 1 Play through Linear game-play with a good story Beautiful Level design Elemental weapons and lots of Gadgets which provide variety in combat Easy mechanics with Boss battles A good music score Cons: The game has no manual save and has to be completed as end to end The lack of manual save was a major let down because i would like to replay boss battles using manual saves No manual saves also means this game has no replay value Overall this game is enjoyable with a good story, a decent combat system, easy puzzle solving and easy to get 100% Steam Achievements in a single play through but without replay value you just play once and uninstall making it one of the games that is Finish & Forget But i recommend it Cheers! Have Fun!
